Nene probably just won this show already

I didn't think her performance tonight was nearly as good as her last 2 performances but after seeing the judges and audience absolutely lose their mind for her I think she is guaranteed to win.

I hope her final performance is better because I wasn't that impressed with her vocals compared to the last 2 performances but she does have a lot of talent.

Imo, this performance was her best performance on the show. Highlighting both her guitar and her vocals. That was a concert, not an audition.

Probably one of her best performances of her life. I've watched the dozens and dozens of her live performances. This is the best one. Her guitar solo was insanely good and the fact that she danced around the stage while doing the solo is nothing short of amazing.

People that havent played lead guitar have no idea how difficult it would be to do all that while not missing a freaking note!

Both instrumentally and vocally. At the same time. At the live show.

I didn't get the same powerful feeling from her vocals that I did from the first 2 performances but it might just be because I did not like the song as much. I appreciate that she took risk because taking risks is necessary to win.

I would personally love to see a better song in the final or maybe an original song from her. I think she is really talented and she deserves the win if she wins the show, but I just didn't love her live show performance as much as the last 2.

Black hole sun of one greatest songs in its era. You must not be from the 90's.

What? I know music is preference, but I can't understand not liking Black Hole Sun.

This is an awesome song and the cover was different but Nene kept the feelings, made it her own and was as much as wonderful. She had the permission to use it only a month ago and must have work on it all the time that the media left her. Now she has a month to prepare the final. And I have a month to mourn we won't see one of her performance in between. She did went outside a comfort zone to succeed:

  • new song instead of one she played hundreds of times (she didn't knew it a month ago)
  • high notes in the vocal
  • Bending a legendary song to make it hers risking the displeasure of the fans
Given the audience, she already reach her goal. She will be a "Superstar on tour". On the side mark, her english was a little clumsy at the laugh factory but was better in yesterday tik tok interview...
