Gospel favorite “American Idol” contestant Curtis Finch, Jr. voted off last night.

With one of the biggest voices of the competition, Curtis Finch sang “I Believe I Can Fly”  but it didn’t seem to fly with the voting audience, and even for the judges who could have saved him– a safety net that can be used only once a season.

Some fans criticized Finch as appearing to be arrogant and “over-singing” his songs. 

His elimination came as a surprise especially Nicki Minaj, who all but threatened to leave if Finch was sent packing.
