Nightbirde’s America’s Got Talent 2021 audition was nothing short of magical. 
When she stepped onto the stage, no one could have predicted the emotional journey she was about to take us on. With her gentle voice and radiant smile, she introduced herself as Jane Marczewski but said, “You can call me Nightbirde.” Then, she began performing her original song, “It’s Okay”, a deeply personal and touching piece about her battle with cancer. 
From the very first note, Nightbirde’s voice was soft yet powerful, carrying a depth of emotion that instantly silenced the entire room. 
Her lyrics, filled with hope and resilience, resonated deeply with both the audience and the judges. As she sang, the atmosphere shifted—it wasn’t just a performance; it was a moment of pure, raw truth. Even the ever-critical Simon Cowell couldn’t hide his emotions, his eyes welling up with tears.
When she finished, the audience erupted in thunderous applause, and the judges were visibly moved. 
Nightbirde shared that she had a 2% chance of survival, but she wasn’t letting that define her. Instead, she said something unforgettable: “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.” That profound statement left everyone in awe—it was a reminder of her incredible strength and spirit.
Then, in a goosebump-worthy moment, Simon Cowell slammed the Golden Buzzer. 
Golden confetti rained down as Nightbirde stood on stage, overwhelmed with emotion. It was a moment of pure triumph, proving that her voice, her story, and her unwavering spirit would inspire the world forever. Though she is no longer with us, her legacy lives on, reminding us all to embrace life, no matter the challenges.
