If you go home, I go home." says Nicki to Curtis in reaction to the shocking outcome. 

Curtis sings for dear life. However, the judges were not unanimous in their decision to save the troubled singer. 

Only Nicki Minaj was the only one among the four judges who wanted to save the gospel singer. So Curtis is out. 

Curtis is such a charismatic singer but I think he over sang himself out of the competition.
