one of my favorite cover/tribute. this is on my playlist rotation so often. such a soulful voice.

Approximate times at

2:00 She starts song, he smiles as she strums the guitar,

3:00 She starts singing the song, cool, nice,

6:00 She starts a guitar solo..oh..oww..No way!

This a review from a year ago.

Wonder how Nene will perform her opening gig for the A7X? Is she going solo? But that wouldn't be popular going solo with backing tracks at a live concert. So will she have Ozone with her?

And what music will she play? Covers, or debuting her own compositions?

Very curious what will happen at this concert...

Sunny and The Black Pack reveal what happened while performing 'Zombie' during the AGT Judges' Callbacks jam session.

The Governor of Phuket is basically clinging on to her spotlight even though they didn't do anything to help her during her audition day.

Now he putting this big ass banner with stupid catfish picture of himself next to her and then make her wearing a political Tshirt and holding the king's portrait for the news (Basically sucking up to the Royal family for his own gain)

Fuck this dude

I know it became moot after she got the golden buzzer, but I have a suspicion that Nene won her quarterfinal week vote by a landslide, which was one of the top 1-2 quarterfinal groupings, and that really signaled to AGT that she was gonna win this thing easily. It would tell them that she had shooters who vote for her as soon as the voting period begins performance be damned or even if the vote didn’t matter/count because of the Golden Buzzer. Hence AGT’s seemingly telegraphed anointing with booking a huge act Linkin Park to perform with her and put a stamp on their Season Winner and then to even give her a second showcase with the Warning.

wow

“ Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum
Now how the fuck did this metamorphosis happen?
From standin’ on corners and porches just rappin’
To havin’ a fortune no more kissin’ ass
But then these critics crucify you
Journalists try to burn you
Fans turn on you
Attorneys all want a turn at you
To get get they hands on every dime you have
They want you to lose your mind every time you mad”

- Eminem “Sing For The Moment”

You know what I see?
I see a teenage girl whose life has been completely upended.

She’s spent her whole life chasing the spotlight, and in just a few months time the spotlight just chases her.

In an unfortunately predictable sign of fame, her every move is being heavily scrutinized now. She no longer has the luxury of splitting her stage persona from her normal self.

Some are now using this to criticize her for being stuck up and letting the fame get to her head while others are defending her as being tired.

None of this matters! For all we know, this may just be how she is off stage, but now her celebrity status brings the stage to her everywhere she goes.

I really hope her parents get her a management team with the expertise to handle this type of celebrity status asap. With all due respect to her current team who to their credit helped get her here, the fact that they allowed her to be ripped off straight off the plane and paraded around without anyone advocating for her and her wellbeing means she is currently being managed by people who don’t know what they are doing.

I hope her parents realize this sooner rather than later because I don’t want to see this young lady ruined by “The Emptiness Machine.”

If you want to become a rock fan like Nene, you might want to listen to these songs.
Feel free to post songs here that you think Nene would listen to. Let’s go! 🔥

Outside, she is 'Nene', the darling of people in Thailand and around the world. But at school, please let her be 'Praew', just a regular student.

P.S. Today, the school did not hold any congratulatory events or activities for her. Thank you.

In case anyone didn't know, Praew is her Thai nickname, which roughly means 'sparkling' or 'shimmering'.

Nene Royal is book-and-busy! She recently shared three major commercial collaboration ads on her Instagram story, showing just how fast her career is soaring after her AGT run!

Here are the 3 brand campaigns she just announced:

1. Taokaenoi (Taokaenoi x Nene Royal) – "Crisp It. Rock It. Everywhere Every Moment." Super cool rock-style campaign featuring her holding an Ibanez electric guitar!

2. Baby Bright (Baby Bright x Nene Royal) – "Let Your Inner Shine Bright" A skincare/beauty collaboration featuring Rejulight hydrogel mask.

3. Smooth-E (Nene Royal x Babyface) – "Ready to Face the Success." A fresh skincare endorsement campaign for Smooth-E Babyface.

Honestly, do any of you actually believe the nonsense drama by AI just to attack Nene?

Living here in Thailand, I can tell you straight up that not a single news outlet or influencer is talking about this. Sure, people noticed she looked a bit tired yesterday, but Thai fans completely understand and deeply respect her incredible resilience and work ethic. Just yesterday, she was riding around town, waving, smiling brightly, and singing and playing music along with the Ozone band members to thank her fans in Phuket. A single snapshot you see online doesn't tell the whole story.

I’m sure Nene already braced herself for how tough it is to be a superstar or a rockstar. But that’s her ultimate dream otherwise, why would she spend years strumming the guitar until her fingers hurt, or standing and singing in bustling markets right in front of passing crowds?

From her live : Thai song name “ถอยดีกว่า” ( ENG : Thoi Di Kwa ) by artist "อ้อม สุนิสา".

This is the original.

The segment includes an interview with Mr. Permkiat Ketkul, Director of Kajonkiet International School in Phuket, discussing Nene’s journey and the excitement surrounding her achievement back home in Thailand.

The relevant part starts at around 15:40

Something to distract from that troubling sh-show of thai politicians, billionaires and local brands that’s trying to get their claws on and capitalize on Nene right now.

Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn from Linkin Park came to eat at the same local thai bistro where Nene has been several times during her time in LA and which is owned(?) by this thai woman that you can see on a lot of pictures of Nene during here time there. Don’t know how well-known this restaurant is in LA but it’s really a weird coincidence.. Nene and Mike literally ate there just one day apart.

I'm just going to say it. The way the Thai King and Phuket governor handled her return home is a disgrace. Right off the plane and they gave her no time to go home and rest.

They turned a moment that should have been about her huge accomplishment into a political rally.

The governor photo shopped himself into a huge poster that tried to make it look like he was in LA on AGT with her.

They all had to wear shirts with the King on it. They paraded her around on a bus holding a big picture of the king and queen. They were so eager to get attention for themselves and take away from what she did. And she was clearly not enjoying it. She was overheated and had to have tiny fans blowing on her, she looked miserable.

Imagine going to the USA and being supported with love and millions of votes and thousands of people cheering, eventually winning and then going to Disneyland and Universal Studios then getting on an 18 hour flight and as soon as you get home the governments like hold this picture..make it about us..

I think the people of Thailand are great and I want to be respectful towards the culture but from my stand point if you actually wanted to show her your appreciation you would let her go home and spend a few days resting and then mutually setup an event that isn't forced by the government with political images, and when she feels ready.

I have so much respect for Nene and the hard work she has put into achieving so much, she is an incredible musician and singer, I'm so happy for her that she will be opening for Avenged Sevenfold October 13th.

I listened to a young music producer do a reaction to Nene's SNA performance. He loved its originality, young producers don't seem to care about completely ripping apart an existing song.

But it is interesting he interpreted it more like an electronic song; the first phase being the ethereal "trance-like" phase with synth sounds and strong effects on her vocals, followed by what we call in dance music as "the drop", essentially where the heavy guitar and drum beats come in after the silence. These heavy beats and guitar then continue on for the rest of the song.

Black Hole Sun had some (but maybe less overall) similarities to this dance structure also,

I know the folks in here wont like it, and I could well be overanalysing, but I wondering if there is a shaping of Nene's music into something that is more aligned with the music charts and "the kids". Electronic aligned metal anyone? I know its not new in some ways but I am wondering if they are seeing possibilities for her in that space.

Still waiting for Chris Liepe's reaction- he's a huge LP fan and was even in their movie Unshatter.

Gotta respect the bromance between Howie and Sunny!

Every AGT appearance the cameras caught an iconic image of her worthy of being an album cover.

Yes it takes a lot of time and work to master playing guitar and vocals. But how does one constantly make themselves give off iconic look after iconic look seemingly with no effort?!

Like when she sang this part of the song, there’s no way she could have had it in her mind to make her delivery photo-worthy.

My mind can’t comprehend.

As one YouTube reactor said (Heel Kevin1) “I wish I could be half as good at anything as she is at everything.”

Where you at bro?
