Simon Cowell, an emotional “America’s Got Talent” judge, lauded the Mzansi Youth Choir, whose audition won a golden buzzer, calling it “breathtaking”.

The Mzansi Youth Choir, a group of South African singers, has won over the judges of America’s Got Talent time and time again, even causing music mogul Simon Cowell to cry during their audition!

After receiving Season 18’s first golden buzzer, the team advanced to the competition’s semifinals in August.

A few days prior to the choir’s successful audition, South African Musa Motha had already qualified for the Britain’s Got Talent finals.

Their musical equivalents are on their approach to accomplishing what the Ndlovu Youth Choir accomplished three years ago when they advanced to the finals of America’s Got Talent.

The trio wowed the judges, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mendel, with their rendition of It’s Okay, an original song written by Season 16 finalist Jane Marczewski.

After a struggle with breast cancer, Jane, better known by her stage name Nightbirde, passed away in February 2022.

After the Mzansi Youth Choir‘s stunning, unison performance, there was not a dry eye in the house. Even Simon Cowell, who is renowned for his harsh, serious demeanor, was soon brought to tears.

He said, “I know how much this would’ve meant to her. Right until the end, she was so passionate about sharing her music”.

He added: “You’ve come here with the most amazing tribute. It was just breathtaking. Honestly”.

Both the judges and the audience agreed that the group deserved to receive the group golden buzzer.

One of the group members reflected on their song selection by saying, “This song has been such a pillar of support for our choir during terrible times”.

“We just want to continue her legacy, and that’s why we chose this song.”

Moving forward, Mzansi Youth Choir will compete in the competition’s semifinals in August.

Mp3bullet.ng has unveiled a top 10 list of Nigerian & South African collaborations in 2021 so far.

Focalistic ft. Davido, Vigro Deep – Ke Star Remix

For this resounding Amapiano tune, Focalistic employed Davido’s vocals for a soothing remix delivery.

The original surfaced in 2020, and it became one of the hottest Amapiano songs in South Africa.

In a bid to reach a wider audience, he enlists the DMW frontman for the refix and it became a blast.

Naira Marley X Busiswa – Coming

The Marlian president took us to another dimension as he served us this erotic melody.

On it, he tagged his South African associate, Busiswa for a great collaboration.

Tekno ft. Mafikizolo – Enjoy Remix

This is another superb collaboration we witnessed this year. After relishing us with the mid-tempo gbedu in 2020, Tekno decided to upgrade the sound with a remix, featuring popular SA Mafikizolo.

Again, on this remix, Tekno shows us he is boss!

Falz ft. Kamo Mphela, Mpura, Niniola, Sayfar – Squander Remix

Going by the success of the original Amapiano infused song, Falz thought to make another outstanding performance by providing a remix.

On it, he retains Ninola, and employed South African Kamo Mphela and others.

Zinoleesky ft. Mayorkun, Busiswa – Kilofeshe Remix

The Marlian Music protege Zinoleesky proved beyond doubt his worth to be in the mainstream as he unlocked the original version of this Amapiano infused jam.

Of course, for such a well-accepted tune from a fast-rising, it is paramount to have a reloaded version.

Zino, however, presented it with a feature from Mayorkun and Busiswa.

Yemi Alade ft. Mzansi Youth Choir – Rain

Off her latest project, “Empress” comes this fine track that features the Mzansi Youth Choir.

About the song, she promotes the African culture in a glorious way, as she takes a toll on the late Majek Fashek’s rhythm.

Rexxie ft. Mohbad, Sho Madjozi – Ko Por Ke (KPK Remix)

This is another groovy collaboration that has been on the top 10 radar since its inception.

The glorious KPK by Rexxie certainly got the best remix as he tagged Sho Madjozi and retained his vocalist, Mohbad.

Analysing the factor that will determine Yemi Alade‘s fate on bagging a nod in the Grammys, while buttressing how the category sync with her career and work ethics.

However, out of 83 categories in the recording academy, the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Album is an honour presented to recording artists for influential music from around the globe at the Grammy Awards, having said that the category is reserved for international performers exhibiting “non-European, indigenous traditions”.

Profile

Why Yemi Alade is close to clinching a nod in the Grammys?

On the other hand, Yemi Alade is a huge lover and portrayer of African culture from the start of her career, and on the path to always connect Africans with the beauty and concept of her songs as well as her African energetic dance steps.

Yemi Alade – Rain (Official Video) ft. Mzansi Youth Choir

Artistically, she’s the only Nigerian female artists consistently and unconsciously selling the African culture to the western world, and the fact that she always maintains the theme is applaudable and quite commendable.

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences operates mainly on familiarity concept with vivid examinations on projects and artistry in its entirety.

However, with the idea of exporting African culture to the western world, her second studio album was titled “Mama Africa” released on March 25, 2016, centred around an African theme.

Conception

A quick look into her artistry catalogue and how it channels to the Grammys best global music album category, Yemi Alade has 6 solid studio albums and an EP so far since her debut in the African music space, the albums include King of Queens, Mama Africa, Black Magic, Woman of Steel, and Empress.

Also, from the album titles to the artworks already speaks volume about the theme and concept before feeding off the content, the stellar collaborations and target audience all points to the African theme and the diary of an African woman.

The focus, the strengths and the visual expressiveness all speak so much and centres on African culture.

Let’s talk about her collaborative choices and why the international community rely on her for African contents, aside from being an announcer in the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards and her impact on Beyonce’s The Gift album.

Her collaborative effort with Angélique Kidjo’s shows the clear direction of her artistry and overall career.

Notwithstanding, her visuals are something to reckon with, how she showcases the true African strength in dance and choreography is phenomenal.

As it is now, her nominations at the Grammys best global music album category will however not be surprising rather will be more deserving at this point due to her impacts and accumulated efforts in the African music space.
