-Whoo-hoo.
-Hey, alright.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Alright. -Hello. What's your name?
-My name is Claudia B.
I'm 24, and I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
-Nashville.
-I was not ready for y'all to turn around, I'm just saying.
-I could tell. You, like, flipped as soon as we turned.
-It was so cute.
-Well, that was cool. It was such a bluesy version.
I can see why you chose that song,
so you could show off that side of your voice.
Is that something that you've grown up on, that kind of --
-Yeah, I mean, I've grown up on all kinds of music.
I went to Berklee and studied jazz,
but my heart is in kind of pop, R&B.
-What do you play? -I play keys.
-I feel like this is all making sense.
[ Laughter ]
-You can tell that you were a musician
because they have a way of just working their way
through a song like you would if you were sat there playing it.
-Yeah, I play at all my gigs. Now I am gigging full time,
but when I first moved to Nashville,
I actually waited on Reba as a server.
So I have met you before.
-That's great.
-Was she a good tipper, though? -Absolutely. Very sweet, too.
[ Laughter ]
-I would love to work with you on my team.
I think that was such a brave song choice.
It makes me so excited to see what you would do in the future,
because if that's your bar right there, then what could you do
with something more straight down the middle
and make it your own and melodic changes and, like,
I'm just -- There's mad stuff going on in my head right now.
-I love it. -Sounds like a lot of talk
about things without specifying anything.
-We can talk about it when she's on my team in about five minutes.
[ Laughter ]
I think that's a special little gift
that you've got that you're able to get around a song like that,
and I would love to have you on Team Niall.
-Thank you so much.
-Claudia, good to see you again.
[ Laughter ]
-Good to see you, Reba.
-I was thrilled to see your reaction
when everybody turned arou-- No, honestly.
That's what makes your performance more special to me,
because you were vulnerable enough to say,
"Oh, my gosh. They turned around for me."
Keep those feelings showing all the time.
And then when we hear you sing something that you're passionate
about and with feeling, it touches us even more.
So congratulations on that.
And I would love to have you on Team Reba.
-Thank you, Reba.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Claudia B., I have one very important question.
Did Reba order tater tots at your restaurant?
-No. If I remember correctly, it was a salad.
-Alright, I'm gonna stay out of Reba's business.
I'm -- I'm gonna stop asking about it.
So, what kind of music are you trying to make for yourself?
Are you writing a lot of songs?
-Yeah, I song-write.
My fiancé, Jacob, is a songwriter, as well.
-Amazing. And playing piano, too? I feel like --
-I don't know anyone here that does that.
[ Laughter ]
For a living. [ Laughter ]
-Well, anyway, Claudia -- -I went to Berklee, too,
in one of my dreams one time.
-Claudia, I would love to work with you.
I would love to have you on Team Legend.
I think we'd have a lot of fun together.
I feel like I really understand
where you're coming from as an artist,
and we could do a lot of great things together.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you guys so much.
-Three-chair turn.
That's pretty big. -Absolutely.
And it's gonna be an incredible experience for you,
and I get to watch the whole thing, so I'm rooting for you.
I can't wait to see what you do. -Thank you, Gwen.
-Claudia, you heard from them all.
I want to know, who do you pick as your coach?

-Yes!
-Claudia B., she's got great tone.
She started out so beautifully
with this cool version of the song.
-So happy to work with you. -Thank you. I'm so excited.
-I can't wait. -We're gonna get in the battle
round and have some fun. -Yeah.
-And now we just got to make sure
she doesn't get shaken up by the moment,
and she delivers on the promise
of the beginning of that audition.
