With a scream-growl, she then launched into a punk-rock cover of The Cranberries’ 1994 grunge hit “Zombie,” which she performed at full volume, whipping her hair and pushing her voice to a rasp. “That was spectacular. You have a very big chance to do really good in this competition. I loved it,” Judge Sofía Vergara told her afterward.
Nene Royal’s performance is a mega-hit online.
In just nine days, Royal’s audition amassed more than 219 million views to date across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, the most of any Act so far this season. Royal herself already had a healthy social media presence, but her numbers are going up, too, and she’s currently at more than a million followers on both Instagram and TikTok.
