I watched the show and wanted to congratulate you. Please maintain your skills,\" the King expressed.\n\nReturning the certificate as a keepsake, the King praised the 16-year-old Nene Royal for her musical prowess. Hailing from Phuket, the young guitarist had honed her craft since the age of seven. Performing at local venues, her rendition of \"Zombie\" by The Cranberries during America’s Got Talent 2026 captivated all four judges, securing unanimous approval and catapulting her to sudden stardom.",
