On Duets Week at "American Idol," Stewart had to perform with fellow auditionee Fire, but she revealed to not been feeling well, seemingly getting sick.

Supposedly, they should be performing Adam Lambert's "Whatya Want From Me."

According to Fire, Kaya and she was "originally amazing" when they were initially rehearsing the number.

"Throughout the day she started getting sicker and sicker and started getting a fever and she couldn't remember the words. It was less and less progress. We were going in the opposite direction," she revealed.

Kaya understood the competition wholeheartedly, and she did not want to jeopardize Fire's chances of advancing into the competition with a "less than stellar" performance.

"I always want to give my best, and I'm not giving my best here," she furthered.

For her, it was not a fair representation to perform whilst being sick and perform in front of everyone.

Because of this, when they both faced Lionel, Katy, and Luke in their performance - she bowed out the competition emotionally.

"She's so talented and so incredible and we bonded so much, but I realized I wasn't able to give 100 percent, so I have decided to not perform, but Fire is going to perform and I'm really grateful that I got to be here."

The judges were stunned by her decision, but when Perry asked for a clarification of Kaya's decision, she said that her "not performing" meant that she would no longer be in the competition, she said as she emotionally ran off the stage.

Before Stewart, Sara Beth Liebe, who publicly expressed her disappointment toward Katy Perry, also quit the show.

It seemed like Liebe was consumed by the guilt of leaving her babies at home while doing something selfishly for her.

"I feel like I'm not gonna win the show anyway, so I might as well go home," she said.
