All of the competition's coaches, Bamboo Mañalac, Sarah Geronimo, Lea Salonga, and apl.de.ap (in order) turned their respective chair to express interest mentoring her. Klarisse shared after performing her audition song that she once joined Star for a Night which made Geronimo surprised as she did not recognize her at first. The four-chair turner eventually chose Geronimo to be her coach in the competition.[7] She proceeded in the Battles Round and performed Somebody That I Used to Know with Gabriel Ramos and Rouxette Swinton.[8] After winning the round, she proceeded with the live shows.[9] She performed Beggin', I Can't Make You Love Me, The Voice Within with Morissette Amon, and the Michael Bolton version of To Love Somebody.
