As for recommendations, there's a bunch of fantastic performances from her with and without Ozone, see below. She's got massive chops in so many areas it's insane. Even though what she did on AGT and how quickly she developed the stage skills needed for live TV productions was impressive, it still does not give the full picture of what she can do. From AGT, Zombie Jam (w/ Howie's house band, Sunny and the Black Pack), around the time when the callbacks happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8PxMdoAbug Master of Puppets (Metallica): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzRdux1GvpQ Paradise City (GnR): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrB4zaa6OPU Red Stairway (Hugo), musical performance in Thai with EN subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2lZzPvEFlw Through the Fire and Flames (Dragonforce), at 10 years old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zunm1YIdYnY Highway Star (Deep Purple): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OiO4bgTfZw November Rain (GnR): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88rOo1IgyGM Beat It (Michael Jackson): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riWiSXCIszw Lovely (Billie Eilish): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpFde_OR6uE Always Somewhere (Scorpions): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuShv5DA73o Sweet Child of Mine (GnR): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDaOnZV3aGQ Hail to the King (Avenged Sevenfold): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPHWb_G-G5g Skyfall (Adele): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-mQqn0OiTI A little extra to watch on your own time: audience perspective of the Linkin Park performance, watch out for the chemistry on stage while playing and the high-fives and fist bumps right after. So heartwarming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmozYmMecxw
Exactly right, the LP performance is the biggest calling card anyone could ask for: she took over a prominent vocal part from none other than Mike Shinoda and nailed it - in particular the high-octane distorted belt at the beginning where any mistake would have stood out like a sore. And she demonstrated that she plays for the song, not for her ego. She blended right in with one of the biggest bands on the planet, so much so that anyone who didn't know their current lineup would believe she's been already a member for years. Additionally, Mike and Emily in an interview later praised her for her professionalism and for having "her shit down". I don't know if there could be any bigger endorsement from anyone - and she's only SIXTEEN guys. Insanity.
All the best to Nene with her future career... She's off to an amazing start for sure!!! #THG
She’s such a Rockstar ..❤️
