The story of Night Birde breaks my heart. Her no good husband divorced her in 2019 when the Dr said she only had 3-6 months to live. Between the divorce & cancer, she couldn’t handle it and had a breakdown. The Dr was wrong & she fought her way back for 3 more yrs. She encouraged others & became famous before she passed. RIP Night Birde you were & are an inspiration. Such a beautiful soul. RIP
It's the 1 audition & shared msg that stuck & brings me to tears each time. So much sympathy & yet strength for her to suffer a divorce during cancers making her so fragile & needing her partners love & care. Sure hope she had family & friends. R.I.P my dear 😪🙏❤
Having stage 4 bone cancer (I was told in September 2020 that I had a 2% chance of making it to my 50th birthday), I immediately connected to Nightbirde. Not only did I think she was a beautiful young lady, but a beautiful soul. When I heard she decided to drop out of the competition to focus on her health, I cried HARD and then when I heard that she passed away in February, I cried again. But her faith and her spirit will live on forever. I didn't know that her husband of 5 years divorced her after her diagnosis and I pray he has lived to regret that decision and ask for forgiveness. By the way, 18 days ago, I celebrated my 51st birthday. So as Nightbirde said "A 2% chance is better than a 0% chance!"
Nightbirde’s statement, “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.”, is life changing. This is her legacy. Thank you for sharing so much in so little time.
That statement that Nightbird quoted I saw atleast 30 yreas ago at a detox unit when I was 15yrs old visiting a close family friend with my mother . There was a chalkboard full of quotes and I always liked and remembered that one .
Nightbirde has inspired my 14-year old daughter too. She keeps fighting against the bullies due to this incredible woman. She would have been such an awesome artist if we had not lost her. Rest in peace, precious woman.
Home schooling can only work for people who can afford it and stay-at-home parents who can be there themselves. I'm a single parent, struggling to get by. So unfortunately not an option.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 on my 49th birthday. My husband left me in the thick of my battle in 2018. There has been nothing about the last five years that’s been ok. I saw her addition when it aired and I cried for hours the most cleansing cry of my life. It was the first time in five years I had hope and peace and forgiveness in my heart. She passed away on my birthday this year. As my battle with cancer comes to its end I play her videos and song everyday and pray I can show half as much dignity and grace. I now listen in the dark for the birds to sing.
I’m so glad she helped you heal. Are you in remission? My Aunt had breast cancer. She fought for 5-7 years. She saw her daughter get married and held her first grandson. She also got remarried to a wonderful man Unfortunately we lost her in 2011.
Nightbirde is honestly one of the most inspiring people I've seen on this show. Her spirit, her optimist, her trust in humanity is something astonishing. She truly is an angel sent to earth to teach us a lesson on determination, compassion, and kindness. RIP beautiful.
It’s only sad, when it’s someone u know irl, and if it’s a family member, y’all acting like u never heard someone die…. IM NOT HERE TO HATE!!! But still R.I.P😇
I just have to say, what a beautiful and tasteful way to remember these folks. It’s as if they all got their own little memorial and they deserve that and so much more.
Absolutely. I cannot watch her appearances on AGT without crying. And just like the crowd and all the judges, I feel touched so deep within my soul. I also get completely silent, captivated by her pure soul. I know she has a very special place in Heaven. One must be absolutely heartless not to be touched by her halo. And all these people are beautiful. As people say, our Creator plucks His most beautiful flowers first. But Nightbirde, she just inspires so many people on so many levels with her humble words of perseverance. She is that person who wins the race of life and then turns around to carry her fellow fighters over the finish line. One in a million. No money is worth who she was/is. That is why in my eyes she will always be the overall winner of AGT...
I was not prepared for Nightbirde's performance to absolutely crush me. From her song, to simon giving her the golden buzzer, to her quote at the end. I was in literal tears. I also remember when Neal Boyd ran for office in missouri. I had no clue he was on AGT or had such an amazing voice.
They were all so special......but " nightbird hit me the hardest. " She knew what was coming , and she met her future with such courage and spirit and grace. She truly shone like a candle in the darkness.
I agree. I never saw her original performance but have since seen it many times. I hope that I will be able to face what I must face one day with the courage and grace that she did. What a beautiful soul.... 💜
Her legacy to the world we live on....her words would etched into my heart....till the day I part. It is about living... and making the best for the moment we have. Thank You Nightbirde .
Didn't even know who Jane Nightbird was until I clicked on this video. She is an inspiration to me and many others who now know her. This talented angel showed strength and gratitude while going through the fight of her life. Her voice, smile, and wonderful spirit gives us hope. RIP Jane and to these other wonderful stars.
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet.
I ended up buying 5 songs on iTunes because I loved her voice/music. I will definitely listen and dance tomorrow to them. I also didn’t hear her until this video
Nightbirde was a wake-up call to everyone that came across the footage of her audition, be it live in that audience, on television, or online several weeks after the fact (as I did). She was so articulate and passed along not only a contagious positivity, but even moreso a wisdom way beyond her years in that song and her inspirational words. It left everyone breathless. Especially in our divisive times, it's almost impossible that one figure becomes almost universally beloved, but Nightbirde accomplished that in just five minutes. She'd better have been given her pair of wings when she arrived up there.
There’s no such thing as loosing a battle to cancer. Cancer never wins. You either win or you tie. When you go so does cancer. And the entire time you fight and you never loose. Night bird never lost her battle. We all still have her memory of her beautiful singing along with the world
What A JERK her X'huband was for not standing by her in her time of need. In sickness 😷 and in health. Apparently he didn't take his marriage Bowes SERIOUSLY! His LOST!NightBird was a Beautiful person inside and out. Your lost JERK for not seeing that.She was better off without you. She was amazing and courageous in so many ways. 😍 You had a good woman and couldn't see or appreciate what you had.Again what a JERK you are!
Her husband quite clearly didn't love her as he knew she only had a few months left and still have her extra pain and stress just because she had cancer but at least we all know she can now rest peacefully in heaven now 🕊️
I always cry when I watch Nightbirde sings. Her voice is magical and her strength to continue going is phenomenal. May her soul continues to Rest In Peace.
Brandon Rogers was actually working at the hospital I work for/at. Such a huge lost to the entire health system, and his family. Along with his family of course. Rest In Peace King! You had/have EVERYONE celebrating you!! Always a star to us here in Virginia (Hampton Roads)!
Jane Nightbird touched every emotion in my body. I shed tears. She is such an inspiration or I should say was such an inspiration. May she rest in peace.
I can’t imagine leaving someone when they need you the most. Marriage is for sickness and health, yet she got sick and he left. That’s not ok. My boyfriend also had cancer and I stuck by him every step of the way. He wasn’t as bad as she is and I’m not belittling her battle in anyway, I just can’t imagine leaving someone in that situation. My boyfriend luckily beat his cancer and the past 3 years his scans have been cancer free I wish the same was true for Nightbirde. She was a lovely woman. Her husband should be ashamed for the rest of his life.
Actually it’s very common statistically that a husband leaves his wife if she has cancer. It’s more common that the husband leaves the wife than the wife leaving the husband after the diagnosis.
My husband did the same when I was actually in the hospital and told to make my final arrangements. He let me know by sending me a text. I was saved by a Dr who came in and said I can do surgery that will kill you or save you. I had nothing to lose and I’m still here. I wish that had been the outcome for these beautiful souls.
I actually met kinetic king when I was a kid in school he traveled around the country visiting schools teaching kids how to do what he did. He was a very nice man. ❤️
I saw Nightbird for the first time shortly after one of the best friends I’ve ever had passed away from breast cancer, she was only 30 and we had served in Iraq together. Nightbird sent such a beautiful message that was on par with everything she was about. I wasn’t and have not been the best person and I was the rebellious one to her complete and utter positive personality. Nightbird and her song hit me right in the feels. Their personalities were very similar. I still have Nightbird’s song on every playlist I have for training (not the army anymore I’m a dog musher and spend a lot of time on the trail which is my own therapy). RIP NIGHTBIRD RIP NATALIE
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet.
This is the most increditable story and very inspiring and full of Courage... So full of grace ... of the human race .. May she Ri.P.... Night Bird... xox
I never get tired of listening to Night birde,I get encouraged everytime I see her sing despite all the hardships. May the soul rest in peace,and the rest of the wonderful singers in the other life, heaven
This has to be the most emotionally moving AGT video ever put together. To see such awesome people with so much talent and learn that their lives were cut short all in one video... I don't have words to describe. Then my wife just came in and announced that her dad passed this morning. Wow! I wasn't expecting this day to go like this.
"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy." I will always remember this quote because of how true and inspiring it is.
Ya just smovee blooww from heart 10q for remaind because im the human n every time dont rememb because my brain "oh my god i see my brain cantnot brain n bommmm
Owwhh yaaa pleass smileee pray for mee pleas because i know all the human "in the world "so clear my heqrt voice so pleasss " pray for me my brain is clean because destroy because thinking about SELFISH
Owh my god how about my roomm not have kitchen because i just saya like cooking fish so how about seltfish in the market mungkit keberagkalian kemunting perutnye kerna aku seorag yg selfish atau aku not meet the sellfish
Nothing to know about feedback positif because my brain n my body not same 30 years ago so my body just to be are want suport from any one person for story about true because this is denasti for the world must know whose the human have the HELTHYLOVELY FOR ALL USE TO MAKE THE SMILE IN THE WORLD N ALIVE
I'm old enough to be Nightbirde's grandmother but SHE is my mentor. She is such a beautiful soul, such a mature outlook on life. Getting up every morning knowing it might be her last day, but putting on that incredible smile and truly enjoying every second that clicked by on the clock. Her song was simple and yet SO profound. She is the only person I've ever seen for only 5 minutes in my life but she stands out and shines brighter than anyone I've ever known. "“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard any more before you decide to be happy”.
This was beautifully done. The voiceover was sensitive but not morbid, celebrating the positive, while reporting the negative. I liked the biographical pieces on the screen and appreciated learning more about each contestants life. Thank you so much for a job well done.
I wish we could know more about ourselves more than this if you don’t mind because it seem both of us hardly been online here sometimes,I think I have an hangouts app on my computer, so can you kindly send me your email so that we could keep touch as well?
@@ananavarrete6093 you rlly don’t get it huh? LOL her voice was literally cracking the whole time we all know that if she didn’t tell the judges that she had cancer Simon wouldn’t of pressed that golden button ur such a dumbass
Nightbirde has been such an overwhelming inspiration for me. I was diagnosed with stage three coleo-rectal cancer in January of this year. It's been a long uphill battle, but I'll beat this. Jane, you are my hero, my inspiration, and I will always remember you with love.
“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy” her reaction to the golden buzzer made me cry of joy as it reminds me the good times I’ve had with my mother after she passed away battling 3 years of breast cancer, when I was just 5 years old. May Jane rest in peace. ❤
Sad his life ended too early....his singing was phenomenal. Handsome too. He had a great singing career ahead of him. I'm from Richmond VA and remember his passing well. The brass ring was within his reach.
Yes, it was so sad, loved his voice & I know his family, friends patients & colleagues miss him....Reminds us life is so short be a blessing when you can be...
@Nancy Samuelson the friend fell asleep at the wheel after working along shift. I don't think it was intentional. There was another person in the backseat. After the crash the driver pulled both people out of the car. He is truly remorseful. His career in medicine now is to do everything to honor Rogers. He will have to live the rest of his life with what happened to Rodgers.
Neal was a family friend for as long as I can remember. And it breaks my heart every time I see him! He was the most amazing person, loved his momma and family unconditionally and was the sweetest person you'd ever meet! We all loved him so much!
Every time I hear Jane AKA NIGHTBIRD speak of her story and sing it’s “ OK “ , I am so overwhelmed with emotions and tears roll down my face. What a beautiful human being. So positive, optimistic and believer in the human spirit. Jane, rest in peace ❤ And thank you for touching so many hearts and souls. Always remembered ❤
This girl who has Cancer has put me back into proper perspectives again.. I know wat it is like near death. And how we take each day for granted. There is no amount of money that can save you.. Just be grateful 🙏 to God you are here each and every day. Take care.
Man! That one “It’s ok” was so emotional it even made Simon break down and cry like a baby and me as well! . Such an good song with such a good message! And so sad she didn’t get to fulfill an amazing career in music because she definitely would have been a huge ⭐️!!!
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet.
@@callacreek6711 I’m pretty sure it would’ve been the cancer that did the killing. The treatments make someone sick because they are very aggressive at targeting cancer cells, but also can damage healthy cells, therefore the person gets sick from the treatment. Once they get to a certain point in the treatment however, the treatment itself becomes too much for the body to handle, this still doesn’t mean that it’s the treatment that kills them! The CANCER is the ultimate killer in the end because it makes the body too weak to handle the treatment any longer! Do some research before spouting off bullshit about $700,000 being wasted on trying to save someone’s life! Because I can guarantee you’d do the same thing if you were trying to keep your child or yourself alive!
When she said "you can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy," she changed my whole outlook on life...may this sweet angel r.i.p.
I will never forget Nightbirdie! She was such a strong and beautiful soul! You can see in her audition how fragile she looks, but decides to use her last days to inspire others to be strong no matter what! She is one of the most inspirational people I have ever seen!
I cried right along with Simon & everyone else hearing about Nightbirde’s cancer diagnosis & the struggles that go along with that disease! And I cried even more when I heard about her passing! My heart shattered in a million pieces! God Bless Nightbirde Always Forever as she’s one of Gods beautiful angels with such a beautiful voice! She is one of a kind! Her positive outlook in like was so refreshing even though she was battling that awful disease! A life lost way too soon just like everyone who has passed that’s been on AGT! God Bless Them All! May They Forever Rest In Peace Forever! They’ll always be loved & missed by many! Prayers up!🙏🏼🩵🙏🏼🩷🙏🏼💜
Skilyr’s story really broke my heart, knowing that her own father had passed away, and it shattered her life into so many pieces. Her being arrested at that young age for such brutal reports is something no child should have to deal with. Although I do know it was the consequences of her actions, it doesn’t change the fact that she was broken, and nothing could fix it.
She looked so depressed... her eyes didn't have joy in them throughout her performance. The only thing that an entire crowd of cheering people and a stand of supporting judges was able to get her to do was a hesitant smile. It just broke my heart to see her so heartbroken.
Dear Brandon Rogers, thank you for helping so many people with their issues and being just such a bright light to this earth. You all are missed so much..
I can't believe her husband divorced her. I wasn't married to a man I was with for 20 years, but I stayed by his side when he died from liver cancer. Her husband was a coward. She was such a beautiful soul. She had an amazing voice, plus she was beautiful.
Rest in peace nightbirde you may have lost your battle with cancer but you won the battle with life. You accomplished so many more things than most people could only dream to do, you will always be an inspiration to me
I felt bad for Jane cause her husband divorce her. He is a very horrible person. Jane is a very pretty lady I ever seen. I wish she was still alive until now.
The only person that I cried over was nightbird what she said was very touching and I felt every word that she said my condolences to her family and friends it's really hard to loose a loved one who's battling cancer as all of us say CANCER SUCKS
Nightbirdie story and battle with cancer is heart wrenching. Her song - "It's Okay" is quite inspiration for everyone out there battling with one sickness or the other. So sad she didn't pull thru cancer. She is such a sweet soul with a beautiful voice. RIP to her and many others that passed on. They set their feet in the hallway for Musical Legends.
Everytime I see Skilyr Hicks's audition, I tear up. After hearing that she got arrested and wet missing just hits me hard. I've actually seen her audition on TV. She has an amazing guitar talent and she will always be remembered. RIP Skilyr Hicks
I blame our primitive world, deranged society for things going wrong with beatiful sensitive ppl like that.. I've expierenced it 1st hand myself. If you get care & the right help in this world, consider yourself lucky.
I bought an it’s ok sweater in honor of the most beautiful kind hearted contestant. Her voice was amazing. Even if she didn’t have cancer, she would have gotten the well-deserved golden buzzer.
Two nights ago, I stumbled onto Nightbirde quite randomly in the middle of the night. I immediately started writing a poem with her performance on repeat. I then found out this morning that Jane passed away. She has been on my mind non-stop, and is gonna inspire some more writing out of me. I haven't read this yet, just wrote it while watching her performance... "Found In Her Voice" Have you ever heard a voice? One that is moving Moving through time In the nature of the story From the singer's tale A sweet optimism Regardless of trying signs Efflorescence in glow In her beautiful tone She penetrates with humanity Encapsulated in angelic compare At her voice You surely stare Into the beauty of life Locked into the gaze Of timeless eyes Her voice comes to life In visual harmony Stripping you into silence In a state of overcome Drifting into awe At times your eyes are open At times they are closed Seeing her voice Seeing her shine Coming together in refine A gorgeous humility instilled In a land beyond mind The breathscape of her song Storied in convey Expressed from the depths Of a heart in elusive define The vibrancy in emotion That she radiates divine That beautiful optimism Letting us know it's OK To be lost sometimes In a reassuring infuse You find yourself knowing A dwelling belief That she might be right Expressed in a voice Hopeful optimism In a hard time And you see this beautiful While she starts to fly In front of the world She takes flight From her soul's reside Stunning into silence The world outside As it looks on As she soars high Captivated infinity Astonishing affinity Captured in her song Expression in divine She makes you find Your human side While she sings She makes you draw in sigh Gasping in pause As you embrace her time In front of the world While she flies up high And you look inside From the gift of her voice The passion of her soul reside In the face of a turbulent find You look to her and see The lifetime in possibility Shimmering ripples Astonished in eternal kind And her smile... The way it's defined And everything feels right Despite her fight She belts out her soul From that place of divine And a cliche does dwell "At a loss for words" While you watch her fly Contemplating how to define What you're witnessing so fine Because she does defy The way she shines When she sings to the sky Her voice carrying true It surely rivets you Into a retrospect Of beauty to be found An illuminating surround To answer the question What is life supposed to be about? Within her you can see Everything life is meant to be Humanity defined Emotional transcend And you believe As her voice does embrace With her echoing grace That it's OK And can be alright To be lost sometimes Even in fragile elegance She picks you up And lifts you into time While she soars up high With the world in awe In an emotional draw Repetition sets in The feeling of optimism This beautiful being A hopeful infuse She conjures within From her inspiring exude Making you see the truth Of life's true intent Carried beyond all words In the sound of her voice And that look in her eyes Expressed in gentle emotion An ethereal vibrancy Her transcending notion To convey to us all That it's OK And can be alright To be lost sometimes
what made nightbirde's performance different from the rest was that three second silence after her singing. that pause was so eery and beautiful, and then it erupts in this amazing applause. i feel so bad for her. she was such a beautiful and caring soul with a message i take with me to the grave. a less than two percent chance of survival, and an even bigger chance of sending your love and message to the whole world. rest in peace, nightbirde. you're a star.
it’s June 10th 2024, RIP Brandon. You were a wonderful soul. Very talented. Rest in piece, and I hope his family finds peace amongst this. God is with you. ❤🕊️
I love it when Nightbirde came on stage and she sang so deeply and so beautifully, I loved it how everyone just stayed silent when she sang and it took a few seconds for them to clap when she was done. Even Simon had gotten a few tears! Rest in Peace Nightbirde.❤️🙏
Nightbird, she didn’t go in with a sob story. She only answer when she was asked. Her voice is truly remarkable and her legacy and positivity will live on. Rest in peace, fly high and shine bright baby girl
Sometimes, God puts these Angels on earth for a purpose. Jane was a true blue family member, and friend. She fought hard, because she truly loved others in her life, wherever she went. A bright life to others. She left a great message for all. Love others, be happy, and try to make others happy. As a counselor told me when I went through a bad sad spell. "I could tell, you'd get teary...it's the ones who smile the brightest, that are breaking inside." So true, at that time, and there were tears, just below the surface. Those days are gone, thank Michael, my counselor angel, and Jesus, who helped me hang in there. Like I always say, There is always a way...NEVER give up!
Nightbirde show in agt is phenomenal. In her short time, she can encourage so many people around the world. Now she singing in the biggest stage in heaven for everyone there. Thank you nightbirde for the quote. Its really mean so much to me.
I lost my husband to brain cancer 3 years ago. On 9/11/7 I lost my first husband in a plane crash after her survived stage 3 testicular cancer in 2006. When I listen to Nightbirde sing...I feel an ache in my chest. Feelings of pain - but also feelings of hope for our world that there others out there who are able to share their inner feelings l with the rest of humanity.
What the young woman with cancer said literally changed my whole perspective on being given the gift of life. There is no doubt of where this little angel is today and forever.
I’m on my third cancer. God bless you all. Please pray for everyone with cancer! Believe in yourself first and foremost so you can fight for yourself first!
May she rest in peace, but no she was not an angel as angels are another creation and not humans. We can honor people without putting another creation on them.
Nightbirde was so inspirational with such a positive outlook admist a dire situation and lived what life she had left to the fullest. I truly believe "nightbirde" got her "wings" and she is free of pain from such a horrible disease...now she soars among angels!
RIP to every contestant that has lost their lives too early, especially the young woman who lost her life to cancer and was super positive through out it, the young woman who battled with addiction nobody knows how hard that disease truly is and how hard of a constant battle they are always in with their selves wanting to get clean and get better but is one of the hardest things in the world to do, and the young Doctor who lost his life due to someone else's negligence.. I can't help but to wonder what was going on with the driver whether he was also in healthcare and was exhausted, under the influence, or
I remember hearing Night Bird sing on the show & immediately fell in love with her vulnerability, brazen tenacity in life, carefree spirit & beauty that clearly permeates every part of her. So sorry to hear of her passing, but so glad the world was able to hear her!
@Mari. If you search on YT there are some videos she made on her very last days…and also her memorial funeral…have your tissues handy…it’s Very Emotional
I wish we could know more about ourselves more than this if you don’t mind because it seem both of us hardly been online here sometimes,I think I have an hangouts app on my computer, so can you kindly send me your email so that we could keep touch as well?
The 4th "Nightbirde" contestant got me at tear point after watching her auditions😢😢😢😢. Her strong will and optimism kept her going for 4 years. She was a strong, resilient and joyful being. She died being happy. May her soul and that of others rest in peace 😔😔😔
I'am also bless for now it was in my breast, but now I have a tumor in my kidney, but I've survived before and I will again and if not I will be happy to stay in God's arm's... Blessed love to all ❤️
Nightbirde was such a beautiful singer and beautiful person. She came so far, but she could have gone further. Unfortunately her time came too soon, but she made an impact that some people take an entire lifetime to make. rip 💕
And most people don’t, even in their entire life. She only took a moment of her life and made it such a powerful impact on how to live life and staying positively happy even when there’s so much pain and sufferings in life. She needed no special presentations or make some Martin Luther like speeches to get her message through, her personality and her positive attitude towards life speaks for itself. "You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy”, just that simple choice to be happy is gonna inspire generations after another for decades, and it’s gonna have even bigger impact on the people sharing the similar condition she had. Rip nightbird, gone too soon but you’ll always be remembered as your story continues to inspire many life’s and most importantly the people affected by cancer. 🌹✌️
This is so, so sad! Now I'm crying. But the fact that Jane aka Nightbirde's "husband" left her in her time of need really hurts the human soul. He's not a man, he's a coward! Condolences to the families. R.I.P.
I’m sure he was there for her through it all even after the divorce…we don’t know what the talked about could of been a mutual decision knowing the condition she is in..her being so uplifting she would let him go and he can move on…I’m sure he was there for her through it all
Exactly.. 5 years ago my fiance broke up with me because of cancer too. But here I am still bouncing in Christ. Humans can be mean. He said I don't fit into his plans anymore
I remember watching Nightbirde's audition and couldnt help but to ball during the entire thing especially when Simon gave her the golden buzzer her story and perseverance is so inspiring she was such a beautiful person
The fact that her husband divorced her right after she found out that she had 3-6 months left to live just makes me think how selfish can a human being be. She’s dying and no matter how hard that might have been. And yet you can’t give another few months to be there when she needed you the most. Just makes you want to cry for her. It’s just to much to do something like that to another human.
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet. The medical industry destroys lives physically, emotionally and financially.
But then again to his defense you never know she could have told him to move on there's a lady here where I live he played in the NBA and she came down with MS she had five kids she knew it would get worse and then after her youngest child turned 10 she told him she didn't want him anymore she wanted a divorce he's the mayor now of one of our major cities out here outside of Cleveland and one of the suburbs and a lot of people are doing what is going on here chastising him and hating him but in the end she got on the radio station and said that she told him to move on with his life she knew her life would never be anything for him to live a good life and she did not want him to spend his life taking care of her so she forced him to divorce her and move on with his life... And a lot of people said that he should not have divorced her but she admittedly said that he had no choice because that's what she wanted so he can go on and live up better life since then he has not gotten married and it took him years to start dating because she just rejected him in every way.... So I'm not saying that this happened here I'm just saying sometimes people do the strangest things so you never know 🙏🏾❤️
I knew Skilyr personally from highschool and did not except to see her in this video. I just happened to come across it, but she was truly a beautiful soul.
Nightbride might have been the saddest one I ever heard and to believe that she sang that while having lung cancer and other things is showing how strong she is and may she Rest In Peace.
I had to Google to find out what the deal was, but I agree. It seems that she had to be an every day parent to the man as well as fight for her own life. That man walked away from someone who needed him the most. He doesn't deserve a career, he doesn't deserve happiness
Or not, she could have been a Karen and he didn't realize it until it was too late, then had enough and left. Let's ask him shall we before making a stupid comment. I guess you could say she too got what she deserved using your logic.
Indeed.. Now I know two men Also a beautiful hispanic actress had breast cancer..he said the most hurtful words a husband could say to his wife...as she repeated those words during an interview you could see, her pain😪 We now have an angel singing in heaven R.I.P. Nightbirde Months ago, as I laid in bed feeling weak and tired... I was going through my phone I came across her audition...her words uplifted my spirit..
@@karinamonzon261 leaving someone when they are at their lowest point and in need of a strong partner and/or friend to help them cope with tragic news about themselves is the epitome of selfishness. I'm sure that they were having issues with their relationship before she got the news about her inevitable death within a few short days but that doesn't matter when it comes to someone you love or loved. He should have pushed whatever issues he was having with her to the side and offered support for her last days here. Glad she was able to lift your spirits. I can only imagine that she lifted the spirits of many people. Stay positive and help others within your means whenever possible. Positive attracts positive. That's what I admire about Nightbirde the most was her positive attitude. Have a good night.
@@floydschake1749 “Stupid comment”?? “She could have been a “Karen””?? Wow, the only stupid comment on here is yours. What a horrible thing to say. She clearly was not a “Karen” as you could see her beautiful personality, optimistic attitude, and gorgeous smile. I saw no negativity in her at all. Your comment was completely uncalled for.
I am a man and a husband. On behalf of all husbands, I apologise for the insensitivity and wickedness of the husband for the woman who had cancer - Nightbirdie. You don't treat a human that way!
I am a 12 year cancer survivor. My precious husband has gone over and above to take care of me, the kids, and household chores. However, during my treatments at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Chicago, I witnessed several husbands and wives walk out on their partners after their diagnosis! I sat and held a man's hand and cried with him after his wife threw her wedding band in his lap and walked out! Heartless and selfish!
@@deeprince6128 That's so....I don't even have words for how sad that is. That poor man didn't deserve such heartless treatment from the woman that swore to love him in health and sickness.
Neal’s loss was truly tragic, with that magnificent voice he could have conquered the world and given us many years of joy and artistry . . May you sing in heaven forever. What a tremendous loss indeed !

Thanks for making videos like this
I'm so sad 😭😭
Heaven is a wonderful place, especially with these 5 angels there, you all touched our hearts and souls ❤️ you will never be forgotten ❤️
Regrettably, these five talented and inspirational AGT contestants are now gone, but may they never be forgotten. 😢
R.I.P beautiful souls.
The story of Night Birde breaks my heart. Her no good husband divorced her in 2019 when the Dr said she only had 3-6 months to live. Between the divorce & cancer, she couldn’t handle it and had a breakdown. The Dr was wrong & she fought her way back for 3 more yrs. She encouraged others & became famous before she passed. RIP Night Birde you were & are an inspiration. Such a beautiful soul. RIP
It's the 1 audition & shared msg that stuck & brings me to tears each time. So much sympathy & yet strength for her to suffer a divorce during cancers making her so fragile & needing her partners love & care. Sure hope she had family & friends. R.I.P my dear 😪🙏❤
Right...
Night Birdie ,had a stunning voice.
Totally agree, beautiful voice and the song is amazing. I think the lyrics can remise
I'm speechless...
Having stage 4 bone cancer (I was told in September 2020 that I had a 2% chance of making it to my 50th birthday), I immediately connected to Nightbirde. Not only did I think she was a beautiful young lady, but a beautiful soul. When I heard she decided to drop out of the competition to focus on her health, I cried HARD and then when I heard that she passed away in February, I cried again. But her faith and her spirit will live on forever. I didn't know that her husband of 5 years divorced her after her diagnosis and I pray he has lived to regret that decision and ask for forgiveness.
By the way, 18 days ago, I celebrated my 51st birthday. So as Nightbirde said "A 2% chance is better than a 0% chance!"
Yes she said those words with a smile
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Happy (belated) 51st Birthday Eric!! Wishing you many many more healthy & happy ones to follow! 💪🏼💪🏼Stay strong!
✨💕✨
Praise God for life❤
Being married is til death do you part.
Happy 51st birthday to you. I hope you had a beautiful day and hope you are okay ❤️
Nightbirde’s statement, “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.”, is life changing. This is her legacy. Thank you for sharing so much in so little time.
I loved that too, it really hit me I definitely needed to hear this . She’s an inspiration
That statement that Nightbird quoted I saw atleast 30 yreas ago at a detox unit when I was 15yrs old visiting a close family friend with my mother . There was a chalkboard full of quotes and I always liked and remembered that one .
Changed my thinking TONIGHT!!
👋😇👋😇👋😇👋😇
Profound quote ever possibly
such a beautiful statement
Nightbirde has inspired my 14-year old daughter too. She keeps fighting against the bullies due to this incredible woman. She would have been such an awesome artist if we had not lost her. Rest in peace, precious woman.
I'm guessing the bullies are in school.
A lot of kids do home schooling.
It's an option that can bring peace.
Home schooling can only work for people who can afford it and stay-at-home parents who can be there themselves. I'm a single parent, struggling to get by. So unfortunately not an option.
Kids..
@@nadialottering6844 Put her in a different school. Do NOT keep subjecting her to the abuse day after day!!!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 on my 49th birthday. My husband left me in the thick of my battle in 2018. There has been nothing about the last five years that’s been ok. I saw her addition when it aired and I cried for hours the most cleansing cry of my life. It was the first time in five years I had hope and peace and forgiveness in my heart. She passed away on my birthday this year. As my battle with cancer comes to its end I play her videos and song everyday and pray I can show half as much dignity and grace. I now listen in the dark for the birds to sing.
Es tut mir sehr Leid und wünsche dir alles alles gute und liebe ❤️
I am so sorry. God has you and will never let you go.💓
I’m so glad she helped you heal. Are you in remission? My Aunt had breast cancer. She fought for 5-7 years. She saw her daughter get married and held her first grandson. She also got remarried to a wonderful man Unfortunately we lost her in 2011.
My birthday is February 20th. I hope you are OK 💖
I’m so sorry! The courage you have to tell us this… I hope you are healing and doing ok! ❤️
Nightbirde is honestly one of the most inspiring people I've seen on this show. Her spirit, her optimist, her trust in humanity is something astonishing. She truly is an angel sent to earth to teach us a lesson on determination, compassion, and kindness. RIP beautiful.
Beautiful, just beautiful 😍
Well said
It’s only sad, when it’s someone u know irl, and if it’s a family member, y’all acting like u never heard someone die…. IM NOT HERE TO HATE!!! But still R.I.P😇
She left a lasting impression on all of us!
I absolutely agree with you. Without doubt an earthangel, sooo beautiful inside out and her light shining so bright for us all!😇🌹🥰❤️👏🫶🤩🙏
Every time I see Brandon's audition, I tear up. I had the pleasure of growing up with him. Such a sweet and gentle person.
I'm so sorry for your loss! May he rest in peace.
I feel so bad for all of these ppl
They all had such good talents
I literally had no idea he passed away. It's one of the saddest things I've ever heard. He was like an angel here on earth. How is his family doing?
Samw!
I just have to say, what a beautiful and tasteful way to remember these folks. It’s as if they all got their own little memorial and they deserve that and so much more.
Nightbirde might have not won the battle against cancer but she has encouraged so many people to keep moving forward
RIP Legend
@@deltaco1978 dont lie
@@deltaco1978 it was reported everywhere she died dont lie
I agree rest in peace 😊
Truly an inspiration to a lot of people going through hard times
Absolutely. I cannot watch her appearances on AGT without crying. And just like the crowd and all the judges, I feel touched so deep within my soul. I also get completely silent, captivated by her pure soul. I know she has a very special place in Heaven. One must be absolutely heartless not to be touched by her halo. And all these people are beautiful. As people say, our Creator plucks His most beautiful flowers first. But Nightbirde, she just inspires so many people on so many levels with her humble words of perseverance. She is that person who wins the race of life and then turns around to carry her fellow fighters over the finish line. One in a million. No money is worth who she was/is. That is why in my eyes she will always be the overall winner of AGT...
“Heroes are remembered, but legends never die”. I hope all of these people lived happy lives and are remembered forever
Umm I like that but like I mean he died and was a legend was remembered though and was not a hero but for many he can be but not to me
…It’s a metaphor
@@destinywimmers643 u sure do think alot
“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore, until you decide to be happy” such a beautiful soul RIP Nightbirde 🥺
it is you know why ? cuz it hard to do when u know you fucked
Count me in please Guyz
You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore, until you decide to be happy" 😢😢
A Beautiful soul lives on as we remember her quiet courage and grace ❤
Me to 😢😢😢
Noone will EVER forget Night Birde. She was a lightperson. She glowed. Rest in peace❤️🌹❤️
I was not prepared for Nightbirde's performance to absolutely crush me. From her song, to simon giving her the golden buzzer, to her quote at the end. I was in literal tears.
I also remember when Neal Boyd ran for office in missouri. I had no clue he was on AGT or had such an amazing voice.
Sikeston, MO where he is from is lil over a hour from me, I remember when he ran as well, I have friends in that area
damn after seeing this comment i got scared, but it didn't rlly hit me, but the opera performance hit me hard for some reason lmao
That is so sad and painful!!
Same, I felt so sad that she was not able to perform again.
They were all so special......but " nightbird hit me the hardest. " She knew what was coming , and she met her future with such courage and spirit and grace. She truly shone like a candle in the darkness.
I agree. I never saw her original performance but have since seen it many times. I hope that I will be able to face what I must face one day with the courage and grace that she did. What a beautiful soul.... 💜
God Bless you Nightbird
You are singing with the Angels now darling
Sleep on hon,you are in JESUS' arms singing with Angels,Rip ho
Sleep in JESUS arms singing in Heaven rip hon
Her legacy to the world we live on....her words would etched into my heart....till the day I part.
It is about living... and making the best for the moment we have. Thank You Nightbirde .
They all died too soon. Tragic. Beautiful and talented each one. Thanks for sharing. It was bitter-sweet.
Being a Christian myself:The message she gave : “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore to be happy.” Really spoke to me!
I'm gonna get a tattoo😢😢
❤
Not only christian can like this comment I did and I'm a Christian
Follow me guys please
I am also Christian, and Nightbirde will NEVER be forgotten
Didn't even know who Jane Nightbird was until I clicked on this video. She is an inspiration to me and many others who now know her. This talented angel showed strength and gratitude while going through the fight of her life. Her voice, smile, and wonderful spirit gives us hope. RIP Jane and to these other wonderful stars.

S,p
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet.
RIP Jane..
"Nightbirde"
Love her song It's Okay...
I ended up buying 5 songs on iTunes because I loved her voice/music. I will definitely listen and dance tomorrow to them. I also didn’t hear her until this video
Nightbirde was a wake-up call to everyone that came across the footage of her audition, be it live in that audience, on television, or online several weeks after the fact (as I did). She was so articulate and passed along not only a contagious positivity, but even moreso a wisdom way beyond her years in that song and her inspirational words. It left everyone breathless. Especially in our divisive times, it's almost impossible that one figure becomes almost universally beloved, but Nightbirde accomplished that in just five minutes. She'd better have been given her pair of wings when she arrived up there.
so sad watching nightbirde sings. my wife also diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 23 and died in less than a month. 🥺
@@jomarmabalay9191 so sorry,may she rest in peace
@jomar mabalay I'm so very sorry

She already had wings when she was here 👼
There’s no such thing as loosing a battle to cancer. Cancer never wins. You either win or you tie. When you go so does cancer. And the entire time you fight and you never loose. Night bird never lost her battle. We all still have her memory of her beautiful singing along with the world
Amen. Love this comment
it is sad to know her husband decided to abandon her in her time of need ...
What A JERK her X'huband was for not standing by her in her time of need. In sickness 😷 and in health. Apparently he didn't take his marriage Bowes SERIOUSLY! His LOST!NightBird was a Beautiful person inside and out. Your lost JERK for not seeing that.She was better off without you. She was amazing and courageous in so many ways. 😍 You had a good woman and couldn't see or appreciate what you had.Again what a JERK you are!
losing
Her husband quite clearly didn't love her as he knew she only had a few months left and still have her extra pain and stress just because she had cancer but at least we all know she can now rest peacefully in heaven now 🕊️
I always cry when I watch Nightbirde sings. Her voice is magical and her strength to continue going is phenomenal. May her soul continues to Rest In Peace.
Brandon Rogers was actually working at the hospital I work for/at. Such a huge lost to the entire health system, and his family. Along with his family of course. Rest In Peace King! You had/have EVERYONE celebrating you!! Always a star to us here in Virginia (Hampton Roads)!
So devastatingly tragic. He had everything going for him and who knows what he might have accomplished yet.
He and Nightbirde's portions gutted me.
Thanks to the idiot falling asleep behind the wheel very unfortunate

Jane Nightbird touched every emotion in my body. I shed tears. She is such an inspiration or I should say was such an inspiration. May she rest in peace.
I think her message and her beautiful voice could live on forever. I think they should pay tribute to her yearly on the show.
"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy." I have those words taped up where I see them every day. RIP Nightbirde.
I can’t imagine leaving someone when they need you the most. Marriage is for sickness and health, yet she got sick and he left. That’s not ok. My boyfriend also had cancer and I stuck by him every step of the way. He wasn’t as bad as she is and I’m not belittling her battle in anyway, I just can’t imagine leaving someone in that situation. My boyfriend luckily beat his cancer and the past 3 years his scans have been cancer free I wish the same was true for Nightbirde. She was a lovely woman. Her husband should be ashamed for the rest of his life.
Actually it’s very common statistically that a husband leaves his wife if she has cancer. It’s more common that the husband leaves the wife than the wife leaving the husband after the diagnosis.
My husband did the same when I was actually in the hospital and told to make my final arrangements. He let me know by sending me a text. I was saved by a Dr who came in and said I can do surgery that will kill you or save you. I had nothing to lose and I’m still here. I wish that had been the outcome for these beautiful souls.
@@michellec1546 Wow. I can't imagine leaving someone I love when they need me the most...I'm glad you're still here
Not sure why any woman would do this for a man that isn’t her husband
@@miloudivyne do what?
I actually met kinetic king when I was a kid in school he traveled around the country visiting schools teaching kids how to do what he did. He was a very nice man. ❤️
You cant wait until life insnt hard anymore before you decide to be happy what a statement rip dear
He was a super sweet guy and a personal friend of mine!
I saw Nightbird for the first time shortly after one of the best friends I’ve ever had passed away from breast cancer, she was only 30 and we had served in Iraq together. Nightbird sent such a beautiful message that was on par with everything she was about. I wasn’t and have not been the best person and I was the rebellious one to her complete and utter positive personality. Nightbird and her song hit me right in the feels. Their personalities were very similar.
I still have Nightbird’s song on every playlist I have for training (not the army anymore I’m a dog musher and spend a lot of time on the trail which is my own therapy).
RIP NIGHTBIRD
RIP NATALIE
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet.
Rest in power Nightbird and Natalie.
R.I.P. to both ladies. I am so sorry for the loss of your best friend and Jane's family's loss of her. May they both continue to R.I.P.
This is the most increditable story and very inspiring and full of Courage... So full of grace ... of the human race .. May she Ri.P.... Night Bird... xox
I never get tired of listening to Night birde,I get encouraged everytime I see her sing despite all the hardships. May the soul rest in peace,and the rest of the wonderful singers in the other life, heaven
The story of Brandon is making me so sad, his death isn't even his fault, he had so much talent in singing.
Rest In Peace Brandon.
wasn't anyone else's fault they died either, no one committed suicide on the show, NO ONE. I know what you might be thinking though
@@Paganlol Yeah, but still it is sad.

This has to be the most emotionally moving AGT video ever put together. To see such awesome people with so much talent and learn that their lives were cut short all in one video... I don't have words to describe. Then my wife just came in and announced that her dad passed this morning. Wow! I wasn't expecting this day to go like this.
I agree with the videos that effortly and nicely put together. By the way, condolences to u and your fam.
Condolences to your wife and 👪.
So sorry for the loss of your father in-law. My prayers and sincere condolences to you, your wife, and the family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I agree with you. This was such a well done video. I honestly feel raw than to read you had a loss in your family.
"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy." I will always remember this quote because of how true and inspiring it is.

Jane (Nightbird) loss was devastating and heartbreaking. Her music went worldwide and her memory lives on today and forever.
I'm old enough to be Nightbirde's grandmother but SHE is my mentor. She is such a beautiful soul, such a mature outlook on life. Getting up every morning knowing it might be her last day, but putting on that incredible smile and truly enjoying every second that clicked by on the clock. Her song was simple and yet SO profound. She is the only person I've ever seen for only 5 minutes in my life but she stands out and shines brighter than anyone I've ever known. "“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard any more before you decide to be happy”.
She's a message
I’m past midlife and lately I’m finding I admire more and more the younger ones who are not letting anything stop them from shining their light.

Brandon's death is so painful. May he rest in peace and may God continue to console his family and all the families of the departed on AGT.
Yes, Dr. Brandon Rogers was one of Hampton Roads best and finest. The Riverside Brentwood Center and our community miss him so much.
Sad his life ended too early....his singing was phenomenal. Handsome too. He had a great singing career ahead of him.
I'm from Richmond VA and remember his passing well.
The brass ring was within his reach.
Yes, it was so sad, loved his voice & I know his family, friends patients & colleagues miss him....Reminds us life is so short be a blessing when you can be...
Im so sorry for your loss his singing with the angels in heaven now. He touched my heart with his beautiful song
@Nancy Samuelson the friend fell asleep at the wheel after working along shift. I don't think it was intentional. There was another person in the backseat. After the crash the driver pulled both people out of the car. He is truly remorseful. His career in medicine now is to do everything to honor Rogers. He will have to live the rest of his life with what happened to Rodgers.

Jane, rest in peace ❤ And thank you for touching so many hearts and souls. Always remembered ❤
This girl who has Cancer has put me back into proper perspectives again.. I know wat it is like near death. And how we take each day for granted. There is no amount of money that can save you.. Just be grateful 🙏 to God you are here each and every day. Take care.
Man! That one “It’s ok” was so emotional it even made Simon break down and cry like a baby and me as well! . Such an good song with such a good message! And so sad she didn’t get to fulfill an amazing career in music because she definitely would have been a huge ⭐️!!!
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet.
I swear me too😭😭😭😭😭
@@callacreek6711 I’m pretty sure it would’ve been the cancer that did the killing. The treatments make someone sick because they are very aggressive at targeting cancer cells, but also can damage healthy cells, therefore the person gets sick from the treatment. Once they get to a certain point in the treatment however, the treatment itself becomes too much for the body to handle, this still doesn’t mean that it’s the treatment that kills them! The CANCER is the ultimate killer in the end because it makes the body too weak to handle the treatment any longer! Do some research before spouting off bullshit about $700,000 being wasted on trying to save someone’s life! Because I can guarantee you’d do the same thing if you were trying to keep your child or yourself alive!
How stunning was she! 😪
When she said "you can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy," she changed my whole outlook on life...may this sweet angel r.i.p.
I will never forget Nightbirdie! She was such a strong and beautiful soul! You can see in her audition how fragile she looks, but decides to use her last days to inspire others to be strong no matter what! She is one of the most inspirational people I have ever seen!

Skilyr’s story really broke my heart, knowing that her own father had passed away, and it shattered her life into so many pieces. Her being arrested at that young age for such brutal reports is something no child should have to deal with. Although I do know it was the consequences of her actions, it doesn’t change the fact that she was broken, and nothing could fix it.
What's the reason to arrest such a pretty girl?
She looked so depressed... her eyes didn't have joy in them throughout her performance. The only thing that an entire crowd of cheering people and a stand of supporting judges was able to get her to do was a hesitant smile. It just broke my heart to see her so heartbroken.
And think about her mother... first loosing her husband, and then her daughter

Dear Brandon Rogers, thank you for helping so many people with their issues and being just such a bright light to this earth. You all are missed so much..
Prayers to all of the families. Thankful you shared them with us.
I can't believe her husband divorced her. I wasn't married to a man I was with for 20 years, but I stayed by his side when he died from liver cancer. Her husband was a coward. She was such a beautiful soul. She had an amazing voice, plus she was beautiful.
I hope God punished him
Good that’s all I’ve got to say.
Rest in peace nightbirde you may have lost your battle with cancer but you won the battle with life. You accomplished so many more things than most people could only dream to do, you will always be an inspiration to me
Jane Marcjewski looks such a sweet person. How could her husband leave her during her cancer diagnosis. 😢
Yeah, what a terrible person.
I felt bad for Jane cause her husband divorce her. He is a very horrible person. Jane is a very pretty lady I ever seen. I wish she was still alive until now.

The only person that I cried over was nightbird what she said was very touching and I felt every word that she said my condolences to her family and friends it's really hard to loose a loved one who's battling cancer as all of us say CANCER SUCKS
Yes!! Me too!! 🎶🕊✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hi there
😣 may she continue resting in peace🕊
She was the most heart wrenching, but it was sad to see the 14 yr old, Skylir, she looked so lost
Night Birde 😭
Nightbirdie story and battle with cancer is heart wrenching. Her song - "It's Okay" is quite inspiration for everyone out there battling with one sickness or the other. So sad she didn't pull thru cancer. She is such a sweet soul with a beautiful voice. RIP to her and many others that passed on. They set their feet in the hallway for Musical Legends.
Everytime I see Skilyr Hicks's audition, I tear up. After hearing that she got arrested and wet missing just hits me hard. I've actually seen her audition on TV. She has an amazing guitar talent and she will always be remembered. RIP Skilyr Hicks
She had such a great voice and so much potential as a singer.
her story is kinda similar to rue's from euphoria
I blame our primitive world, deranged society for things going wrong with beatiful sensitive ppl like that.. I've expierenced it 1st hand myself. If you get care & the right help in this world, consider yourself lucky.

She died in December 2021 hmm what was different that year? 🤔
I bought an it’s ok sweater in honor of the most beautiful kind hearted contestant. Her voice was amazing. Even if she didn’t have cancer, she would have gotten the well-deserved golden buzzer.
She did have cancer and got the golden buzzer.
Two nights ago, I stumbled onto Nightbirde quite randomly in the middle of the night. I immediately started writing a poem with her performance on repeat. I then found out this morning that Jane passed away. She has been on my mind non-stop, and is gonna inspire some more writing out of me. I haven't read this yet, just wrote it while watching her performance...
"Found In Her Voice"
Have you ever heard a voice?
One that is moving
Moving through time
In the nature of the story
From the singer's tale
A sweet optimism
Regardless of trying signs
Efflorescence in glow
In her beautiful tone
She penetrates with humanity
Encapsulated in angelic compare
At her voice
You surely stare
Into the beauty of life
Locked into the gaze
Of timeless eyes
Her voice comes to life
In visual harmony
Stripping you into silence
In a state of overcome
Drifting into awe
At times your eyes are open
At times they are closed
Seeing her voice
Seeing her shine
Coming together in refine
A gorgeous humility instilled
In a land beyond mind
The breathscape of her song
Storied in convey
Expressed from the depths
Of a heart in elusive define
The vibrancy in emotion
That she radiates divine
That beautiful optimism
Letting us know it's OK
To be lost sometimes
In a reassuring infuse
You find yourself knowing
A dwelling belief
That she might be right
Expressed in a voice
Hopeful optimism
In a hard time
And you see this beautiful
While she starts to fly
In front of the world
She takes flight
From her soul's reside
Stunning into silence
The world outside
As it looks on
As she soars high
Captivated infinity
Astonishing affinity
Captured in her song
Expression in divine
She makes you find
Your human side
While she sings
She makes you draw in sigh
Gasping in pause
As you embrace her time
In front of the world
While she flies up high
And you look inside
From the gift of her voice
The passion of her soul reside
In the face of a turbulent find
You look to her and see
The lifetime in possibility
Shimmering ripples
Astonished in eternal kind
And her smile...
The way it's defined
And everything feels right
Despite her fight
She belts out her soul
From that place of divine
And a cliche does dwell
"At a loss for words"
While you watch her fly
Contemplating how to define
What you're witnessing so fine
Because she does defy
The way she shines
When she sings to the sky
Her voice carrying true
It surely rivets you
Into a retrospect
Of beauty to be found
An illuminating surround
To answer the question
What is life supposed to be about?
Within her you can see
Everything life is meant to be
Humanity defined
Emotional transcend
And you believe
As her voice does embrace
With her echoing grace
That it's OK
And can be alright
To be lost sometimes
Even in fragile elegance
She picks you up
And lifts you into time
While she soars up high
With the world in awe
In an emotional draw
Repetition sets in
The feeling of optimism
This beautiful being
A hopeful infuse
She conjures within
From her inspiring exude
Making you see the truth
Of life's true intent
Carried beyond all words
In the sound of her voice
And that look in her eyes
Expressed in gentle emotion
An ethereal vibrancy
Her transcending notion
To convey to us all
That it's OK
And can be alright
To be lost sometimes
Beautiful!
This is amazing ☆☆Tears 😔 But also resilience
Much Love wherever you are
Beautifully written💝
Beautiful.
So beautiful 😍..Bless u
💖 This is amazing --felt from the soul. Bravo!
what made nightbirde's performance different from the rest was that three second silence after her singing. that pause was so eery and beautiful, and then it erupts in this amazing applause. i feel so bad for her. she was such a beautiful and caring soul with a message i take with me to the grave. a less than two percent chance of survival, and an even bigger chance of sending your love and message to the whole world. rest in peace, nightbirde. you're a star.
Wow, that 14 year old girl sang like a 30 year old that's been through a lot in life, beautiful voice with feeling.
her voice is not dissimilar to the duo, First Aid Kit.
Real talk! She had such an old soul voice!
So sad.. so young.. obviously struggled because of her dad passing away.. this is so so sad!
Now her mom lost her husband and daughter 😢
it’s June 10th 2024, RIP Brandon. You were a wonderful soul. Very talented. Rest in piece, and I hope his family finds peace amongst this. God is with you. ❤🕊️
I love it when Nightbirde came on stage and she sang so deeply and so beautifully, I loved it how everyone just stayed silent when she sang and it took a few seconds for them to clap when she was done. Even Simon had gotten a few tears! Rest in Peace Nightbirde.❤️🙏
Nightbird, she didn’t go in with a sob story. She only answer when she was asked. Her voice is truly remarkable and her legacy and positivity will live on. Rest in peace, fly high and shine bright baby girl
Sometimes, God puts these Angels on earth for a purpose. Jane was a true blue family member, and friend. She fought hard, because she truly loved others in her life, wherever she went. A bright life to others. She left a great message for all. Love others, be happy, and try to make others happy. As a counselor told me when I went through a bad sad spell. "I could tell, you'd get teary...it's the ones who smile the brightest, that are breaking inside." So true, at that time, and there were tears, just below the surface. Those days are gone, thank Michael, my counselor angel, and Jesus, who helped me hang in there. Like I always say, There is always a way...NEVER give up!
The face Simon had at the end of her audition just says it all
😅her voice is so amazing that I thought she had autotune
@@jeanmader2302 YES. To give us a Message. But how many people Get The Messages !
@@Sir_Richard_Stewart Not all. But God keeps trying.
You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy.
Those words are true through and through. Thank you>RIP Nightbirde
Yes these were her words I didn’t know that she was married.31 years she was
Amen
"I practice safe sticks" 😂😂. That wasnt a bad joke buddy it was really funny! RIP to all of these beautiful legends! May they rest easy!
Nightbirde show in agt is phenomenal. In her short time, she can encourage so many people around the world. Now she singing in the biggest stage in heaven for everyone there. Thank you nightbirde for the quote. Its really mean so much to me.
After I heard her sing I couldn't hold my tear's,how can you leave someone when they need you the most 😢
Yup I was thinking the same thing her ex husband is a coward
That’s why his career is in the toilet and hers was sailing before she passed and even to this day.
I lost my husband to brain cancer 3 years ago. On 9/11/7 I lost my first husband in a plane crash after her survived stage 3 testicular cancer in 2006. When I listen to Nightbirde sing...I feel an ache in my chest. Feelings of pain - but also feelings of hope for our world that there others out there who are able to share their inner feelings l with the rest of humanity.
I'm so sorry may he rest in peace😭
I wish you the best in your future.
Wow I'm so sorry to hear of your loss...🙏🏽😔
He, not her had the testicular cancer.
9:13 NO SHE DIDN'T LOSE THE BATTLE. she won it all, was able to remain postive and never lost hope. Rest in peace
The fact that Nightbirde was going through so much but she was so happy and optimistic makes me feel so sad that she didn’t make it through
What the young woman with cancer said literally changed my whole perspective on being given the gift of life.
There is no doubt of where this little angel is today and forever.
I’m on my third cancer. God bless you all. Please pray for everyone with cancer! Believe in yourself first and foremost so you can fight for yourself first!
Nightbird was an angel in disguise. She was taken away from us too soon, may we remember her by her voice and her words. Fly high angel😇🕊️
Helko
Yep!
Amen 🙏❤️🕯🕊
Agreeded
May she rest in peace, but no she was not an angel as angels are another creation and not humans. We can honor people without putting another creation on them.
Nightbirde was so inspirational with such a positive outlook admist a dire situation and lived what life she had left to the fullest. I truly believe "nightbirde" got her "wings" and she is free of pain from such a horrible disease...now she soars among angels!
RIP to every contestant that has lost their lives too early, especially the young woman who lost her life to cancer and was super positive through out it, the young woman who battled with addiction nobody knows how hard that disease truly is and how hard of a constant battle they are always in with their selves wanting to get clean and get better but is one of the hardest things in the world to do, and the young Doctor who lost his life due to someone else's negligence.. I can't help but to wonder what was going on with the driver whether he was also in healthcare and was exhausted, under the influence, or
Finish your statement
I remember hearing Night Bird sing on the show & immediately fell in love with her vulnerability, brazen tenacity in life, carefree spirit & beauty that clearly permeates every part of her. So sorry to hear of her passing, but so glad the world was able to hear her!
@Mari. If you search on YT there are some videos she made on her very last days…and also her memorial funeral…have your tissues handy…it’s Very Emotional
So much to learn from Jane Nightbird she’s an inspiration! I love 💕 her forever
Yeah AGT will never forget her, she remains in our heart
I wish we could know more about ourselves more than this if you don’t mind because it seem both of us hardly been online here sometimes,I think I have an hangouts app on my computer, so can you kindly send me your email so that we could keep touch as well?
💞
we won't forget her
All of us, we dont know whats around the corner. What Nightbird said about being happy has really touched my heart and soul. ❤
The 4th "Nightbirde" contestant got me at tear point after watching her auditions😢😢😢😢. Her strong will and optimism kept her going for 4 years. She was a strong, resilient and joyful being. She died being happy. May her soul and that of others rest in peace 😔😔😔
It’s always brings tears to my eyes . I’m blessed to be a Cancer survivor.
I too am blessed to have beat of all cancers - ovarian...thank you
Dr. Randall Oyer for saving my life 33 years ago...you are my heart ❤️!
I'am also bless for now it was in my breast, but now I have a tumor in my kidney, but I've survived before and I will again and if not I will be happy to stay in God's arm's... Blessed love to all ❤️
Mary frimpong...am so sorry ... may God c u through this time...hug n kiss from me ..ur very strong n I know you can overcome..love u sweety
So happy that you’re still here with us❤️❤️❤️
Nightbirde was such a beautiful singer and beautiful person. She came so far, but she could have gone further. Unfortunately her time came too soon, but she made an impact that some people take an entire lifetime to make. rip 💕
Just beautiful 😍
And most people don’t, even in their entire life. She only took a moment of her life and made it such a powerful impact on how to live life and staying positively happy even when there’s so much pain and sufferings in life. She needed no special presentations or make some Martin Luther like speeches to get her message through, her personality and her positive attitude towards life speaks for itself. "You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy”, just that simple choice to be happy is gonna inspire generations after another for decades, and it’s gonna have even bigger impact on the people sharing the similar condition she had. Rip nightbird, gone too soon but you’ll always be remembered as your story continues to inspire many life’s and most importantly the people affected by cancer. 🌹✌️
They are all just such Beautiful Souls. Just Beautiful. They left messages like beacons in the night....to help others find their way.
❤
"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore to be happy." Wow!
This words still rings in my ears like I just heard them
She said 2% chance is better than 0%😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 rest on night bird
This is so, so sad! Now I'm crying. But the fact that Jane aka Nightbirde's "husband" left her in her time of need really hurts the human soul. He's not a man, he's a coward!
Condolences to the families.
R.I.P.
Rip angel u did it n you be ok
I’m sure he was there for her through it all even after the divorce…we don’t know what the talked about could of been a mutual decision knowing the condition she is in..her being so uplifting she would let him go and he can move on…I’m sure he was there for her through it all
God bless her soul
@@missyg1208 you're sure?? Please don't make excuses for people who leave someone in their hardest times
Exactly..
5 years ago my fiance broke up with me because of cancer too. But here I am still bouncing in Christ. Humans can be mean.
He said I don't fit into his plans anymore
I remember watching Nightbirde's audition and couldnt help but to ball during the entire thing especially when Simon gave her the golden buzzer her story and perseverance is so inspiring she was such a beautiful person
Whenever I hear Neil's audition, I get goosebumps. RIP.
A true loss for the artistic world . What a magnificent voice , so strong almost spiritual. Will miss him forever!
The fact that her husband divorced her right after she found out that she had 3-6 months left to live just makes me think how selfish can a human being be. She’s dying and no matter how hard that might have been. And yet you can’t give another few months to be there when she needed you the most. Just makes you want to cry for her. It’s just to much to do something like that to another human.
I agree he knew she was not going to live could he not pretend out of the feelings he once had to do that to her was nothing but cruel
Almost $700,000 was raised and wasted on the "cancer treatments" that ended up killing her. Cancer is not a death sentence, it is an inconvenience removed by an alkaline diet. The medical industry destroys lives physically, emotionally and financially.
Karma is a b---h!
But then again to his defense you never know she could have told him to move on there's a lady here where I live he played in the NBA and she came down with MS she had five kids she knew it would get worse and then after her youngest child turned 10 she told him she didn't want him anymore she wanted a divorce he's the mayor now of one of our major cities out here outside of Cleveland and one of the suburbs and a lot of people are doing what is going on here chastising him and hating him but in the end she got on the radio station and said that she told him to move on with his life she knew her life would never be anything for him to live a good life and she did not want him to spend his life taking care of her so she forced him to divorce her and move on with his life... And a lot of people said that he should not have divorced her but she admittedly said that he had no choice because that's what she wanted so he can go on and live up better life since then he has not gotten married and it took him years to start dating because she just rejected him in every way.... So I'm not saying that this happened here I'm just saying sometimes people do the strangest things so you never know 🙏🏾❤️
The husband, heartless beast‼
I knew Skilyr personally from highschool and did not except to see her in this video. I just happened to come across it, but she was truly a beautiful soul.
Did she die from an overdose?
@@mikeg6285 Of course not.
@@workaholicstv4949 Watch the video.
@@hannahsnitker5745 hopefully her true friends spread awareness of the pain she went through instead of directing people to a video.
i dont know skilyr personally but i agree with you hannah... she was a truly beautiful soul
RIP Nightbirde even during battling cancer and getting divorced she still wrote a song and was staying strong. She is truly an inspiration ❤️
Nightbride might have been the saddest one I ever heard and to believe that she sang that while having lung cancer and other things is showing how strong she is and may she Rest In Peace.
The doctor sounded absolutely amazing...
To Nightbirdes ex-husband To do that to someone going through a life threatening illness takes a special kind of cowardice
I had to Google to find out what the deal was, but I agree. It seems that she had to be an every day parent to the man as well as fight for her own life. That man walked away from someone who needed him the most. He doesn't deserve a career, he doesn't deserve happiness
Or not, she could have been a Karen and he didn't realize it until it was too late, then had enough and left. Let's ask him shall we before making a stupid comment.
I guess you could say she too got what she deserved using your logic.
Indeed..
Now I know two men
Also a beautiful hispanic actress had breast cancer..he said the most hurtful words a husband could say to his wife...as she repeated those words during an interview you could see, her pain😪
We now have an angel singing in heaven
R.I.P. Nightbirde
Months ago, as I laid in bed feeling weak and tired... I was going through my phone I came across her audition...her words uplifted my spirit..
@@karinamonzon261 leaving someone when they are at their lowest point and in need of a strong partner and/or friend to help them cope with tragic news about themselves is the epitome of selfishness. I'm sure that they were having issues with their relationship before she got the news about her inevitable death within a few short days but that doesn't matter when it comes to someone you love or loved. He should have pushed whatever issues he was having with her to the side and offered support for her last days here. Glad she was able to lift your spirits. I can only imagine that she lifted the spirits of many people. Stay positive and help others within your means whenever possible. Positive attracts positive. That's what I admire about Nightbirde the most was her positive attitude. Have a good night.
@@floydschake1749 “Stupid comment”?? “She could have been a “Karen””?? Wow, the only stupid comment on here is yours. What a horrible thing to say. She clearly was not a “Karen” as you could see her beautiful personality, optimistic attitude, and gorgeous smile. I saw no negativity in her at all. Your comment was completely uncalled for.
Ribbon in the sky, is my wife and myself our song, 21 years we’ve played this. This guy nailed it so beautifully RIP you sweet, sweet gentleman.
I am a man and a husband. On behalf of all husbands, I apologise for the insensitivity and wickedness of the husband for the woman who had cancer - Nightbirdie. You don't treat a human that way!
This is so sound
You are a weak man don't speak for all of us
Totally agree with you
I am a 12 year cancer survivor. My precious husband has gone over and above to take care of me, the kids, and household chores.
However, during my treatments at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Chicago, I witnessed several husbands and wives walk out on their partners after their diagnosis! I sat and held a man's hand and cried with him after his wife threw her wedding band in his lap and walked out!
Heartless and selfish!
@@deeprince6128 That's so....I don't even have words for how sad that is. That poor man didn't deserve such heartless treatment from the woman that swore to love him in health and sickness.
What a ray of sunshine sad RIP
God bless their families
Neal’s loss was truly tragic, with that magnificent voice he could have conquered the world and given us many years of joy and artistry . . May you sing in heaven forever. What a tremendous loss indeed !
SHE DESERVED that Golden Buzzer this still makes me cry 😢
