Though she admitted her “audition wasn’t my best,” Claudia Conway managed to shine during the first round of Hollywood Week on American Idol. Claudia went head-to-head with another contestant, and the judges dug her rendition of “River” by Bishop Briggs enough that she made it to the next round.

Nerves Gave Way To A Stunning Performance

Claudia Conway had a lot riding on the performance, especially after her shaky audition. “I was really, really nervous,” she confessed before taking the stage. It was judge Katy Perry who inspired the teen to push herself past her self-doubt and realize her potential. “Katy Perry told me, ‘You have to calm the storm that is around you.’ She believed in me. I could not be more grateful for that.”
