Thai rocker Nene Royal’s latest performance on ”America’s Got Talent” — a rendition of Muse’s “Hysteria” — has surpassed one million views online within just 14 hours of its release.
The full video of the Judges’ Callbacks performance, released on the AGT YouTube channel four days earlier than originally scheduled, came with a note that the 16-year-old singer-guitarist from Phuket had “crushed” the 2003 song by the English rock band from Devon.
Nene Royal, whose real name is Rattikarn “Praew” Umloy, had told her growing legion of fans earlier that her Judges’ Callbacks performance would be released on Tuesday. The early release also took her by surprise as she shared the video on Saturday, and said: “OMG. Thank you very much #AGT.”
