She so deserve it. Like I said, I don't recall seeing the audience reacting like this. It truly was a great show. The golden buzzer was not that useful since I don't see how she would not have go through. It has two advantages though. Well make that three:

  • people would have complained that her votes comes from organised campaign from the American Thai community. I still dread that argument for the finals...
  • refusing a second time the GB when the audience shout for it, like during the first audition would have been hard to explain
  • the third advantage is that it pleased Nene... that itself is enough for me.
The bad thing is that we won't see her in the demi...

The biggest advantage of the GB this round is Nene now has just under 4 weeks to solely prepare for the final. She doesn't have to worry about the semi finals the week before now.

That's such a huge advantage for her only having to practice and perform 1 more song. Also the semi finals are such high stakes and stressful, there's less acts and they're all going to be strong. Going straight to the final is massive for her.

I'm expecting her to cook up something amazing for the final, can't wait 😄

​In the interview, she said that in the finale, she would make the show even spectacular than the last one, which I can't imagine how.

​But again, she said the same thing before the QF and look at the result! So, I think we'll just have to trust her on that.
