Paige was left to battle for the last spot in the semi-finals against Carlito Olivero.
While the 13-year-old's mentor Demi Lovato voted to save her, the other three judges opted to save Olivero.
Simon Cowell had the deciding vote in Paige's elimination and justified his reasons after the show.

"I didn't think she could win," Cowell explained. "She's 13 or 14 years old and she's got a long way ahead of her and she'll be remembered.
"I thought that with Carlito, if you look at his background, how hard he tries, the underdog - I just kind of felt that maybe he deserves that extra shot."
The departure of both acts means Lovato is now without any contestants in her Girls group.
Speaking of Santiago's elimination, she said: "I am actually pretty speechless and disappointed.
"A lot of people that didn't deserve to be sent home have gone," she continued, adding that Santiago "could have won" the entire competition.
Olivero, Restless Road, Alex and Sierra, and Jeff Gutt remain in the competition for the semi-finals.
