Thai rock star Nene Royal reaches America’s Got Talent final with Golden Buzzer

Thai rock star Nene Royal has achieved a historic milestone by reaching the Grand Final of America's Got Talent (AGT) after a captivating performance that impressed both the audience and the judges, earning her a Golden Buzzer. The 16-year-old, whose real name is Rattikarn "Praew" Amloy, first gained recognition with her rendition of Zombie by The Cranberries during the audition round.

During her performance of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, she wowed the judges, with Howie Mandel jokingly suggesting, "Give her the million [dollar prize for winning AGT] right now." The Golden Buzzer was activated by judge Mel B, granting Nene Royal an automatic spot in the final, bypassing the public voting stage. This remarkable achievement marks a significant moment for the Thai singer, who has gained international attention for her powerful rock performances on the popular US talent show.

The grand final is set to take place on September 23, Thai time. During the Judges' Callbacks on NBC, Nene Royal showcased her skills by performing Muse's Hysteria, delivering a memorable guitar solo with percussive techniques, and displaying her talents as a singer, guitarist, and performer.
