\n\tNene Royal has a name, and a voice, that you just might hear again.<\/p>\n

\n\tHailing the Phuket, Thailand, the teenager stepped onto the America\u2019s Got Talent <\/em>stage, for the latest round of Auditions, airing Tuesday night (July 7). And she immediately made everyone in the place stand up and take notice.<\/p>\n

\n\tRoyal, like so many AGT<\/em> hopefuls, the performance was the first stride in a lifelong dream. Picking up the guitar at age seven, she has always dreamed of being a \u201csuperstar on tour,\u201d she told the judges at the top. Well, she came to the dream factory.<\/p>\n

\n\tPerforming a day prior to her 16th<\/sup> birthday, Royal shook off any lingering nerves, hoisted an electric guitar, cranked up her amp and tore through a cover of The Cranberries mid-\u201890s protest anthem \u201cZombie,\u201d a song that logged six weeks at No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Alternative Songs chart. <\/p>\n

\n\tMake no mistake. The kid can rock.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith her proud dad watching on, Royal had the room in raptures, jaws on the floor. \u201cThat was spectacular. You have a very big chance to do really good in this competition,\u201d enthused Sof\u00eda Vergara. \u201cI loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowie Mandel got a much-appreciated wake up. \u201cYou are such a surprise (with your) energy and the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. You are a rock star, young lady, you really are,\u201d he enthused.<\/p>\n

\n\tMel B praised the youngster\u2019s vocal control. And she can \u201ckill it\u201d on the guitar. \u201cYou\u2019re like a match made in heaven. You\u2019re brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSimon Cowell, as he so often does, spoke last. \u201cThe tone of your voice,\u201d he remarked, \u201cit was like really authentic and even the fact it was all a bit messy actually made, for me, the audition really good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEach judge voted, each gave a resounding yes. And Royal continues on her dream run in this 21th<\/sup> season of NBC\u2019s AGT<\/em>. Watch below.<\/p>\n
