It was time, wasn't it? Even for those of us who adored him on the show have to admit it. Besides, if he'd squeaked by Syesha this week, it could have caused some sort of violent uprising amongst angry viewers. And nobody wants that.
"I think it's just getting tough for me," he said of the competition. "I think my inexperience is coming in."
Well, the good news is this: He now has a lot more experience to fall back on in the future.

Syesha and Jason await their fate, while Davids A. and C. are safe. Ryan noted earlier that the top three came within a million votes of each other (out of a total of almost 51 million), so to me that means Jason will be departing. (One person clearly came in dead last, in other words. Jason made many mistakes.)
Of course, I'm writing this without knowing the future, so I reserve the right to say, "Oops!" in an upcoming post.

Way back in Season One, Nikki McKibbin (local singer who was regularly panned by the judges -- sound familar?) grabbed a top-three spot from the clutches of the beloved Tamyra Gray -- who was seemingly a shoo-in. People expected to see a Tamyra/Kelly showdown in the end, remember?
This year, people expect a David/David showdown. History tells us it may not happen.

Really, at this point I think it would make Jason sad NOT to go home. He is SO ready. He has already had a tremendous ride. If he does go as expected, I think Syesha will be next (even though I LOVE her voice and think she would be terrific on Broadway). I think this will be a battle of the Davids for the top slot. And if so, which David do you think will win it?
