I've seen 16 year old Nene Royal (who received the golden buzzer on AGT) getting a lot of attention lately for her amazing guitar skills, rock/metal vocals and stage presence, but I came across this performance of her singing Adele's “Skyfall” and thought it really showed just how much vocal range and versatility she has.

And don't get me wrong - I absolutely love the rock & roll direction she's going in and definitely don't want her to move away from it. I just think it's really cool to hear her take on something completely different and show another side of what she can do as a vocalist.

What makes it even more impressive to me is that this is just someone recording her live on a phone at a night market in Thailand - not a professional recording or TV sound setup. So the audio we're hearing can't really capture what she would have sounded like in person, or how her voice could come across with a proper professional recording setup like on AGT.
