“#Claudia Conway Gets Through First Hollywood Week On American Idol — Watch Her Pop Performance HERE!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nIt was something of a surprise to watch, but Claudia Conway<\/strong> is moving forward to the next step in American Idol<\/em>!<\/p>\n

The teenage singer impressed the judges enough during the first round of Hollywood Week on the hit reality music competition show, which aired on Sunday. With the judges\u2019 collective app<\/a>roval at her back, Kellyanne Conway<\/strong>\u2019s daughter surges ahead, guaranteed at least one more week in her journey for stardom.<\/p>\n

On last night\u2019s new episode of Idol<\/em>, the competitors all chose from one of six genres to perform a song. They then went head-to-head with other performers in that genre, singing in front of the judges in a bid to move to the second round of Hollywood Week, which will air next Sunday.<\/p>\n

Somewhat expectedly for a 16-year-old singer who looks up to the likes of Idol<\/em> judge Katy Perry<\/strong>, Conway picked the pop genre to showcase her vocal talents. And when it came time to sing, she delivered on the song River<\/em>, by Bishop Briggs<\/strong>. But not before she showed off a MAJOR transformation in her on-stage look!<\/p>\n

Conway\u2019s first shocker came right when she stepped up to the mic; Perry herself commented on the big change, which had the hopeful crooner sporting new dark brown locks. Bye bye, blonde \u2018do! The hair color adjustment must have worked its magic, though! And yes, mom Kellyanne was in the audience cheering her on the whole time, too! Cute\u2026 aaaand<\/em> also kind of awkward, TBH! But at least the show of support is there?<\/p>\n

Interestingly, in a segment bracketing her performance, the daughter of two infamous political operatives admitted her transformation from audition week to now had been much more involved than just a hair color change.<\/p>\n

The teenage performer explained (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cMy audition wasn\u2019t my best. I was really, really nervous. I had these doubts in my head telling me \u2018you\u2019re not ready, you\u2019re not good enough.\u2019 In my life, I\u2019m so focused on all the noise and people hating on me and my family online and on social media<\/a>. Katy Perry told me, \u2018You have to calm the storm that is around you.\u2019 She believed in me. I could not be more grateful for that. Now, I\u2019m just drowning out the noise and telling myself I can do it. \u2026 I\u2019ve been trying to establish my own identity for a while. Most people don\u2019t know I\u2019m a singer and it\u2019s very, very important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And do it, she did!<\/p>\n

Even though the poor girl admitted she was \u201cliterally freaking out\u201d prior to singing on stage \u2014 in the biggest venue at which she\u2019s ever performed, she said \u2014 Claudia still did her thing, calmed her nerves well enough, and walked out of there a winner!<\/p>\n
