Teen musical duo **Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm** took the stage during the *America’s Got Talent* Season 21 Quarterfinals live show. The vocalists—who share family ties with pop superstar Bruno Mars—delivered a cover of All-4-One’s R&B hit *”I Swear”* in a bid to secure a spot in the next round.
A Sudden Buzz: Mel B Hits the Red Button
Despite their vocal capabilities, the performance was interrupted when judge **Mel B pressed her red buzzer**. The former Spice Girl provided blunt critiques regarding the duo’s delivery:
* **Lack of Passion:** Mel B voiced concerns that the performance felt flat and lacked emotional urgency.
* **Harsh Comparison:** She likened their stage energy to *”taking a walk on Malibu beach without a care in the world.”*
