Curtis Finch, Jr., is the first season 10 finalist to be eliminated

Last week, Curtis Finch, Jr., became the first finalist of American Idol season 10 to be eliminated. On the night before that, he sang "I Believe" by season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino. He was in the bottom 3 with Devin Velez. In an attempt to get saved by the judges, he sang "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly. On top of that, he has a police record. Two years ago, he was arrested for stealing a MacBook laptop, worth $1,500, from a fellow choir member. To avoid jail time, he paid $1,800 plus the cost of appearing in court.
