Nene Royal hits the AGT live stage: how to watch it from Thailand

A 16 year old Phuket singer and guitarist, Nene Royal, will compete in the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals next week. Her performance is scheduled to air in Thailand at 7am on August 26.

Weeks earlier, in July, the audition that brought her international attention had Rattkan Amloy — her full name — playing The Cranberries’ “Zombie” at the Dolby Theatre. That was one day before her 16th birthday.

That audition earned four yes votes from the judges, sending her through to the next stage. The performance video went on to become the most-viewed audition of the season.

At the Judges’ Callbacks, the Phuket singer performed “Hysteria” by Muse and again received four yes votes, securing her place in the live rounds. Muse also shared footage of the performance on its official Instagram account.

She is scheduled to perform during the second of four AGT quarterfinal weeks, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California.

The live rounds run from August 18 to September 9 on NBC, with performances broadcast on Tuesdays and results announced on Wednesdays.

Under the competition format, one judge each week will use a Golden Buzzer to send one quarterfinalist directly to the finals. Three additional acts will advance to the semifinals based on the audience vote.

During the semifinals, viewers will select six of the 12 acts to advance to the finals. The judges will then choose another semifinalist, creating a total of 11 finalists.

Thai viewers cannot participate in the voting. It is available only to viewers in the US and Puerto Rico through the NBC AGT Vote website and the AGT app.

Fans in Thailand will be able to watch the performance video after the competition through the official AGT YouTube channel.

The young singer closed out her run in Thailand with a farewell show at Naka Market in Phuket on August 16. She was joined by the OZONE band and artists from the SOUTHTOWN network, with Phuket Governor Chotinrin Kerdsum in the crowd that saw her off.
