Who is Nightbirde?
It s not often a contestant can move Simon Cowell to get choked up, but Nightbirde, a.k.a. Jane Marczweski, did just that when she performed on
America s Got Talent Tuesday (June 8) so much so that the singer-songwriter even received Cowell s Season 16 Golden Buzzer.
The 30-year-old singer wowed the judges with her unique vocals and heartfelt lyrics, performing an extremely personal song she wrote titled It s OK.
During her audition for the reality competition show, Marczweski revealed that she has cancer in her lungs, spine and liver, and was told she has a two percent chance at survival. She later told Channel 10 News that, according to her January scans, the cancer has spread. Despite her odds, she said, I have a two percent chance of survival but two percent isn t zero percent. Two percent is something and I wish people knew how amazing it is.
