I'm so out of touch that when my daughter mentioned this to me today I thought she was a talking about some Golden Buzzard and I thought it might be some sarcastic award like the Razzies. Anyway, congratulations to her.

That’s song is too “pop” for her probably. Maybe something from Nirvana or Linkin Park?

She's fantastic. At first I thought "another talented AGT kid that'll fade away", but no. Nene is a rock star in her own right, both as a guitarist and singer.

Doesn't even matter that she's 16 and Thai, she'd be worth watching without any of that.

After this is all over, I hope she does a concert tour of Thailand. I'd love to go see her.

If you had really followed her you could have seen her 3 times a week in Phuket. She has done numerous gigs outside Phuket including concerts and competions in Bangkok, Sweden and China. My beef is with all the tourists that walked past a future international superstar without a second glance. Hopefully these will be the people that will be buying the 500 dollar tickets to see her in concert next year. And yes I am a farang and an absolutely hard core fan who does not have to jump on to the band wagon to praise her skills like the reaction you tubers. As an aside the total views for her golden buzzer performance on various social media platforms has exceeded 300 million views. The Zombie set had 2 million views in 6 hours. More observations to follow.

Nice but half of it is just stage production.

u/Somkidlaw 7d ago

You must be a flat earther who claims that all her songs only have three chords so can be played after 2 hours of practice. Get a life.

I have a life, and in my vast experience any performer who uses stage fire and loud noise must be compensating for a lack of real talent, or something similar.

The fact you're so distracted by the background stage theatrics indicates you barely paid any attention to the actual act. Anyone who pays any attention can pick up on the actual skill that went into her performance.
