Chris, thank you. Seriously.
No one — and I mean no one — has ever pointed out this special, fearless vocal signature in Nene’s sound.
You didn’t just “react”, you understood her.
The nasal resonance, the placement shifts, the emotional breaks… you heard the exact things that make her unique.
Thank you for having the ears, the experience, and the courage to say it out loud.
This analysis is a gift.

I am so happy and still can't believe that you are so excited about Nenes artistic talent. As mentioned already, I saw her 5 years ago in Laguna Night Market, which is also in Phuket, and she was a kid with a big guitar, playing already a lot of classic rock songs on her instrument. And her singing was good, but of course not there yet. Saw her e couple of times the upcoming years, and she got better and better. She really deserves to be on this stage and become a rock star, she is so nice and awesome. Thank you for your support and shine the light where it belongs too.

Wow, the way Chris Cornell sings “won’t you come” is so powerful and full of energy, and Nene did such an amazing job honoring his legacy live! No wonder you were crying with pride! ❤️ Your reaction and analysis were so good, and you definitely deserve those 1.3 million views! I really hope everyone here votes for Nene tomorrow! She deserves to win and bring rock back to life again! 🤘❤️

You are absolutely right; Nene truly has the ability to touch the audience's hearts with her vocals. Her performance style is incredibly captivating—she has carved out a unique identity for herself. She also reminds everyone not to forget the legendary songs left behind by legendary composers; she brings these classic tracks back into the music scene through her covers, always performing them beautifully rather than doing them a disservice. If I were a songwriter, I would certainly be delighted—not jealous—if someone sang my work and performed it so well.

This is awesome Chris 🙌 Love seeing the parallels between Nene, Amy Winehouse and Chris Cornell. What an example and inspiration this young singer is. 🙏🥰

Wow, Nene is a true rockstar! You clearly have a keen eye—or rather, a keen ear—for detail; nothing escapes your notice, whether it’s the sound itself or the emotional nuances of the music. It makes the listening experience so much more enjoyable and helps me truly connect with the emotions in the songs.

Great analysis as always - she is a gift and I’m looking forward to her original music. Also I’m voting the max number of times for her - on a show that I’ve only watched cause of her.

ฝรั่งคนนี้ ชม เนเน่ ว่า ความสามารถ จัดอยู่ในระดับรุ่นท็อป. การร้องเพลง เล่นกีตาร์ 🎸 มีเทคนิคต่างจากต้นฉบับ เสียงที่ร้องออกมามีการร้องเอื้อน การเน้น คำแต่ละคำเป็นแบบฉบับของตนเอง กับเสียงว๊าก ของเนเน่ ก็ร้องออกมา ชวนให้คนฟัง ฟังแล้ว สะใจเข้าถึงความรู้สึก ลึกๆ ยากจะอธิบาย
สาวน้อยคนนี้ เก่งจนไม่รู้จะพูดว่ายังไงแล้ว

Really should check out her, "Married to the Blues" rendition. Another completely different style. In time, no telling where she can go with her voice.
