In a moment reminiscent of Susan Boyle, judges on “Thailand’s Got Talent” were left stunned by the performance of Bell Nuntita.
She is being referred to as “transgender.” It is not clear if this is meant as an actual fact or whether it refers to the remarkable voice change midway through the song.
Found on Reddit
Bell Rocks! Live Her Voice,
Oh, God !
OMG!!!!
Never mind, it’s 15-year-old Kenika Kienman:

Bianca Ryan has a good performance as an 11-year-old for the US version, but not as strong and deep as Kenika’s. (she also does a pretty impressive version of Joplin’s Piece of My Heart)
Does anyone know the first singer’s name? Or what the song is she sang?
The only thing to find on Google is the trannie, which is a shame as they both did a great job.
i love her voice at first i think she is female but sha is new-half
A comment at YouTube says she is 15-year-old Kenika Kienman of Saraburi Province.
Isn’t that the lead singer of Journey?
NO….NO MORE……NO MORE …..SANGING…….
Frank.
She did not sing like a man but like a Jazz singing Negress. If I did not see the pictures going with the sound I would have assumed she was one of the best female Negro blues singers.
Thanks Annie. You are totally correct – the one you posted was Bell, not the first, which was incorrectly posted. I have to say that the singer (name not clear to me) whose picture appears on the link for the first video is quite amazing -sounds just like an African-American lady, but it is the wrong one. She is a real biological girl, while Bell is a ladyboy. I am a music teacher in Thailand and I believe that both are incredible and unique, although the girl has some small problems with intonation that could be fixed. Bell’s performance was amazing and was actually a medley of three songs.
Congrats to both.

Annie,
I think you are right. The second one was amazing and the voice change was crazy.
What in the world are you talking about re: “remarkable voice change midway through the song” she sang like a man the whole time..
Wow! That was some set of pipes on that young lady. I got tired just watching her! She sounded so American when she sang that song.
Hi Professor Turley,
Wrong link! Here’s what I think you meant to post:
