She Walked On Stage with THREE Guitars...Then Simon Cowell BOWED to Her!

Video summary

Press to jump

0:32NiNi introduces her Arizona home and her blend of traditional Chinese instruments with original rock music.
1:31The audition begins with NiNi kneeling to play a traditional lute, adding vocalizations.
2:18She switches to the three-stringed sanxian, then picks up an electric guitar at 02:41.
5:25Her quarterfinal performance opens with a bowed ruan before moving to electric guitar on a raised platform.
8:18Cowell praises her talent but criticizes the song and track; Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel praise her skills.
10:03A bonus sketch puts Howie Mandel in the contestant's position for an audition before the other judges.

Not quite three guitars. Viral Feed's most watched new upload uses that phrase in its title, but NiNi's performance brings traditional Chinese stringed instruments into the same act as an electric guitar. She introduces her original music as a blend of Chinese instruments and rock, then makes the connection audible.

In this compilation of America's Got Talent footage, NiNi moves from a lute played kneeling on the floor to rapid sanxian rhythms, then an electric-guitar solo that gets Simon Cowell bowing. Howie Mandel reaches for a suitably guitar-heavy comparison: "It's like I'm at a Nini Van Halen concert."

The quarterfinal footage adds a less straightforward response. NiNi starts with a bowed ruan before switching to electric guitar, but Cowell separates his admiration for her playing from his dislike of the backing track. That distinction turns up in the comments too, alongside a small but pertinent correction to the title: those instruments aren't all guitars.

The upload has reached roughly 133,000 views and is currently Viral Feed's busiest video. It sits among eight new posts, including a young-performer compilation featuring drummer Chrisyius Whitehead and pianist Journeyy, and a long collection of nervous singers finding their voices. Older clips remain active too: Johnny Manuel's Whitney Houston performances and Dian Rene's audition are drawing nearly as many daily views as NiNi.

Viral Feed added about 4.5 million views over seven days while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is slightly below its usual pace. Among nearby talent-show channels, Family Feud is enjoying stronger-than-usual daily viewing, while Magician's Got Talent also has unchanged subscribers. For Viral Feed, the week's distinctive attraction is an instrumental performance on a schedule otherwise rich in singers.
