-Chloe Bailey, you look gorgeous.
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
You've been on my show a bunch of times performing.
-Yeah.
-But now I finally get a chance to talk to you.
-I'm so happy to do this.
You always have, like, the best energy
and make me feel so warm inside,
so I'm happy we get to do this again.
Thank you. -Oh, good. I'm loving this.
Alright, perfect. First of all, "That's My Jam."
You crushed it. -Thank you.
-Wait till you see Chloe Bailey.
You crushed it on the show. -Thank you so much.
I had the best time. -Did you have fun?
-Yes. Halle and I, we were so excited.
And I think what made it more exciting
is how we were on separate teams,
how you guys split us up.
-Did you think you were going to be on the same team?
-Yes, and if we were on the same team,
I think we would have won. -Yeah.
-We would have beat out anybody's butt.
-No, yeah, because you were --
[ Applause ]
-But you are, you're a professional.
I mean, you're professional singers.
You can really sing. -Thanks.
-Yeah, I mean... -Sometimes.
-There's a mix that we do on the show
that is so good of breakup songs,
but you guys got to wait to see that.
It's really, really good. -Oh, I can't wait.
-Is it tough competing against your sister?
-With competitive games like that?
No, because I'm so competitive and I love to win,
and she loves to win as well,
so it just makes it more exciting.
-I wanted to show a clip, just because
you made your sister kind of get sprayed
just because you were such a good singer.
Look at you laughing.
It made you that happy to spray your sister?
-No, because we were so nervous about our hair
and makeup, we were like, "Ahh, no."
-And it happened to her? -Yeah.
-Here's a taste of next Monday's episode of
"That's My Jam," take a look.

[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Screams ]
-It keeps going!
-I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I knew as soon as you started.
I knew when it started, I'm like, "Oh."
-Oh, man, that was so fun. That was so fun.
-Was there a moment that you realized
that you knew you wanted to be a singer?
-When I was 2 or 3, my aunt,
she always tells the story how I was singing
"Fallin'" by Alicia Keys in my car seat.
And she goes to my parents and she's like,
"Did you know she can sing?"
So I feel like I've been doing music ever since I could talk.
-Wow.
-That was the jam, Alicia Keys. Who else influenced you?
-Beyonce, Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys.
And the crazy thing is, that was the first concert
I went to in Atlanta, and I had my little Dangerously in Love
binoculars from the nosebleed seats.
And I was looking down and five-year-old Chloe
was like, "You know what? I'm gonna do that one day."
-Really? -Yeah.
-Wow. -That's when I knew.
-Yeah, I love that you just knew that right there.
And weirdly, you ended up --
well, you worked with Beyonce, right?
-Yeah. Yeah. -On a movie.
-Isn't that crazy? "Fighting Temptations."
-"The Fighting Temptations." I love that movie.
Here's a picture of you and Beyonce,
you as a -- [ Crowd awws ]
How was that experience?
-I remember this exact moment.
One, I just was in love with my outfit
and my little flip-flop wedges.
And when I saw that we were in the same color,
I got really excited and I was like,
"Can I take a picture, please?"
And she was so nice to me.
And even at the wrap party,
she'd hold me and we danced the night away.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
-She is really, unbelievably...
-She's... -She should be where she is.
-Yeah. -'Cause she's so nice
to everybody. -She's incredibly amazing.
And even at the premiere, it was really funny.
Halle and I, we were crawling under people's legs
just to get to her.
And sis's hair got caught in her dress.
She had, like, a sequins dress. Isn't that funny?
-She got her hair caught and Beyonce's dress?
-Mm-hmm. -Was she cool with it?
-Yeah, she was fine with it. She was so graceful.
And Halle and I were excited, and I feel like
that was the moment my love really began for her,
because she was so kind to little Chloe.
-Well, fast forward 20 years, little Chloe.
Now you are amazing,
and you're signed to Beyonce's record label,
and you just released your debut solo album.
Yes.
-Chloe, it's called "In Pieces."
-Yes, it is.
-And you designed this album cover yourself, by the way.
I actually like this part right here.
-Yeah.
I saw this photo of a porcelain doll,
and she was holding, like, a bloodied heart and like,
she ripped it out of her chest, and she was like,
in kind of like a Victorian outfit like this.
-Yeah. -And I was so inspired.
And just off of that photo,
I created the song that's on the album now,
"Heart on My Sleeve," like three years ago,
because I wanted to be so open and vulnerable
about my feelings and my emotions
and how loving and giving and naive I could be at times,
and it would stab me in the back and the butt every time.
So I was like, you know what?
I'm going to make an album all about heartbreak
and feeling like you're not good enough.
And even though you might seem perfect on the outside,
like the porcelain doll, when you come extra close,
you'll see all the little cracks from breaking
and gluing yourself back together again.
Yeah, so that's why I called it "In Pieces," for sure.
-I love that. -Oh, my gosh.
That's fantastic. Congratulations. Well done.
It's a great record. -Thank you so much.
That means a lot, coming from you.
-And also, I want to tell about your movie,
"Praise This." -Yes.
It's on streaming, on Peacock as of today.
It's brand new.
Can you tell everyone what the movie is about?
-Yes, so Praise This," I play a girl named Sam.
She's a struggling musician and she's willing to do
whatever to get her career off the ground,
like, she gets herself into some trouble.
And she's quite a B-word.
But she goes with her family in Atlanta
and she somehow gets mixed up with
the gospel praise team crowd.
-Yeah. Do you like playing this character?
-I do. Because you know why?
-Can I guess why? -Yeah.
-Because I think you're so not a B-word,
so when you get to play one,
it's like, "Let's go." -"Let's go."
-Am I right? -No, it was amazing,
because all of my pent-up emotion and like,
comebacks that I wanted to say back to people
that I thought about the next day
but never had the chance to say, I got to say it as Sam.
-Yeah, you got to say it as Sam. -Let's go!
-And you get to sing. -And I got to sing.
-You get to sing. You can act.
You got it all, pal. I want to show everyone a clip.
