When she was in Ohio, she was married. After she was diagnosed yet again with cancer her husband left her a couple weeks later saying that HE couldn’t go through it again! She left Ohio for California, wanting to leave the heartbreak behind. Knowing this made me understand her lyrics and all she was battling even better. Simon Cowell paid for the best treatments for her. Her death devastated him. He had a very difficult time getting through his announcement on AGT that Nightbird had lost her cancer battle. She was a special soul and touched countless lives. What a beautiful example of facing extreme adversity with courage and grace. She is missed but never forgotten. A choir from South Africa honored her by singing ‘It’s Ok’ on AGT. Nightbird touched the lives of people around the world. She’s singing in heaven now…
I saw this performance, there were times, on America's Got Talent, that they had her video's talking with Simon. Also a choir from South Africa sang her song as a tribute. I will give the links in my reply section after this. Thank you for your reaction.
I have been battling psychological trauma, severe depression for years. Meds therapist... I saw this video by accident. I dont know who you are, beautiful kind amazing soul. I just wanna say thank you, 🙏 for sharing some of your peace and hope. This world is brighter for having such an amazing human on it...even for just a little while. Rest well may God keep you in ✌️.
She was amazing. What absolutely got to me is after she died Simon broke my heart. He was so open with his feelings about her. The respect she was shown was lovely. She was so lovely.
Yes. You definitely need to see her conversation with the judges. They commented on her bravery and she said ‘You can’t wait until life isn’t hard to be happy’. Wow ! That is a life changing statement if taken to heart.
I saw Jane's performance in the summer of 2021. I had just finished radiation treatments for breast cancer. My husband had died the year before at the beginning of the Covid pandemic. After hearing her story, I realized my situation wasn't as bleak as I had thought. Thank you, Songbirde. And thanks, Sebs, for posting this performance.
Sebs, there is no shame in crying, whether in sadness or incredible joy. We as humans should allow our emotions to bring laughter and tears to us each & every day 🙏🏼
I was listening to this driving and I actually pulled over because like it was already said you absolutely must hear the African groups rendition of this. It's choking me up as I'm writing this
Jane is actually a friend of a friend. I've never met her personally, but she lived close to me in Ohio and she's a beautiful person inside and out. Anyone who can endure what she has and still have that outlook on life is a very special person. She had a huge effect on Simon Cowell as well and he still sheds tears every time he thinks of her. They've done tributes to her on AGT too.
She was so strong 😢. I have been through Cancer and it’s so hard. I also that performance and cried through it all. She sing so beautiful z what a beautiful angel she will be ❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇😇
No one has ever touched me the way this young woman did. Such an intelligent, strong, woman. I’ve seen her give interviews and she was just amazing. Older than her years. I followed her struggle and steady decline. Her and Simon Cowell became close. Simon is a wonderful man despite his reputation as a bad ass. Nightbirde, I see you and still shed tears.
You should definitely look more into this. There are quite a few touching videos. Judges reactions when she passed away. The African choir that did a tribute to her, her last videos before she past.
This was heartbreaking. This girl was a inspiration to thousands. She was resilient and positive till the end. She had Simon crying. Wise beyond her years. Greetings from South Africa
Thank you, Bryce (hope I spelled that right). I watched both of my brothers battle a rare lung disease (both non-smokers) that ultimately led to their "graduating to Heaven." Both were 64 when they died two years apart. One of them had been diagnosed with with the lung disease (IP) at the age of 49. He underwent a double lung transplant at the age of 55, when he was told if there was no donor to match his lungs, he had less than 8 weeks to live. He went on to be a witness through the way he lived his life, as did my other brother. I can say that both had accepted their pending death but chose to live life and express gratitude to God for all He had given them. She reminds me of how my brothers lived.
Sebs, you HAVE TO watch The Mzansi Youth Choir comes on America's got talent. I think it was two or three years after Nightbirde passed away, and this youth choir in Africa came on america's got talent and sang her song. It showed exactly how far music can reach. Nightbirde was such a beautiful soul. And all she wanted to do was share her music. Her family released the full versions of her songs after she passed...just to carry on her wish of sharing her music with the world. Also, if you watch the video of Mzansi, please watch the judges reactions too. Simon, while Nightbirde was still alive, visited her several times. He visited her in the hospital. He became her friend. But what touched me the most was the statement "you can't wait until everything's okay before you decide to be happy". That says everything.
My sister died from breast cancer in Sept 2022. I think the "It's ok" of her song is that she's ok spiritually and has made peace with her situation. My sister was on her deathbed and I asked if I could have her hand to photograph holding mine(didn't want to take a pic of her in the bad shape she was in). She raised up slightly and shook her head saying, No, no, not the hand" Then laid back and chuckled. Still had her sense of humor.We are the ones needing the reassurance of "It's ok", not them.
Thank you Bryce and Sebs for being strong enough to show your emotions. I remember this performance vividly; I've re-watched it several times and loved sharing it with you again.
This story and performance has always brought a tear to my eyes, but it hits differently now. My dad passed away yesterday from cancer and I’m still coming to terms with it. I didn’t appreciate what a powerful gift it is to your loved ones to be at peace when you go. I always knew it was important for the person dying, but we also owe it to those who love us to be at peace. Jane did that and so did my dad. Thank you for reacting to this song ❤
What up Bryce? I have seen this before and it was so beautiful. Nightbirde's optimism and positivity were infectious. Sadly, she has passed away a while back. Such a loss of an angelic, beautiful voice and beautiful human being. I had Melanoma cancer last year and I can listen to these lyrics and feel how at peace she was inside. Peace and such grace. RIP Nightbirde
I remember seeing this on AGT and during the very beginning of the artist background video i was enamored by her beauty but couldn't help but think something was wrong. Of course we soon learned she was very ill. Regardless, seeing and hearing her sing brought me to tears. She was a blessing to so many people. I was saddened to hear she had passed away.
I’m going through my own battle with brain cancer refuse to let it win and am so thankful to experience life a different way now thank you and your family for all you guys do for us
Amen 👏 your in my prayers Sir. I'm 61yrs old, I've already had 2 Brain Surgeries as well as Breast Cancer Survivor of 11yrs now and I give God all the Glory and Praise 👏 sending you love from Lafayette Georgia 🍑
When her music starts..She closes her eyes and opens her arms..going backward..Taking in the moment…I thought at the time I was hearing something so rare..a angel….When I heard she died…It was like some of the color in life faded and I was so grateful that I was able to even have a glimpse of something so rare…So bright
As some have suggested Jane had a couple of really profound statements during the judges thoughts after she sang her beautiful song. And the last part, Jane says that “ she has less then a 2% chance of survival, and if people knew how great 2% really is”
I am a cancer survivor, but my husband wasn't that lucky, he passed 15 months ago. I truly hope that they find a cure for it, in the not too distant future. Also altzimers, which my mother has, I pray that can be eradicated also, sooner rather than later. Prayers sent to everyone suffering right now. ❤
I remember seeing her on AGT. I knew she was sick but I didn't know about Simon Cowell paying for her cancer treatments. My heart breaks for her. I've started tearing 😮up just since she starting to sing this song. Just listening to her makes me rethink my life choices. She's lovely and I should have known more about her when she was still 😅 earth. RIP Nightbirde! ❤😢
Wonderful job breaking this down. I had the same reaction to her performance on AGT when I saw it a couple of years ago. If you get time take a listen to Gary Morris- The Man Upstairs- (it’s probably not what you think), but yet there are powerful lessons in it. Thanks for your intelligent and thoughtful breakdowns of songs. Yours are the best on TH-cam.
When I first watched that episode, it hit hard because I've always felt lost even today. My grandmother who passed away 2 years ago had breast cancer twice and survived both times. Beginning of last year I found out my Aunt had breast cancer and she's still battling. ❤
I'm late in watching this reaction video. Firstly I watched her videos on her Facebook and socials until she got her wings. Such talent. Now please hear me. You need to enjoy what you do. Life is too short and tough enough already. I was a nurse. At age 47 i went in to respiratory failure. I was incubated. In a coma for 6 weeks. Resuscitated twice. In high dependency for 3 weeks then in rehab for 2 months where I had to learn to move my fingers, well just move, eat walk talk etc again. I did it and though I'm very sick still 2 yrs later. I have only 30% lung function, have doubled my weight due to medications, can't walk far, suffer severe neuropathy pain and other things, the list goes on. I can no longer work. But. I'm alive. I've got 6 wonderful grandkids and have turned 50. And it is Ok. There is so much to smile and laugh about. I've fallen and broken my tailbone. Only my sister was home. Her and I trying to get me up off the floor though frustrating was so comical we were rolling around laughing!! Oh it was painful and I'm not light nowadays and she has scoliosis of the spine, but we just laughed so hard we cried from laughter rather than the pain. It's all about how you look at it. God Bless x
A previos song before she got so far along, little did she know how phrophetic it was, the song, THE STORY I WILL TELL. She was a powerful individual, with a message for us all.
That Made Me Cry She Was Fighting A Battle That Took Her Away But Her Voice Beautiful And Lyrics And Message Wow She Saying It's Alright Don't Be Scared Just Live Your Life .
Hey Sebs truly inspired by your honest and emotional reaction so wonderful to see the Empathy and humanity in another man nice job and thank you brother ❤
I lost phone this morning.. I did the hole wtf wtf spam.. and at one point Inwent outside.. heard the ravens n chickadees... b smiled... started singing it's ok it's ok it's ok it's ok.... and an hour later I found it in a pizza box.. that's this moment now.. so first thing we will do is cry together.. let's go.. thanks Jane.
Wow, our reaction to this was very similar, I watched it live, and many times since, such a light in the darkness, she was.....my dad ( the closest person to me, passed in 2020 from stage 4 stomach and liver cancer.
Right after her song on AGT she said " I have a 2persent chance to live but 2 persent is not nothing. She had a huge fan base and always inspired others to never give up.
I just saw this on the feed and I remember watching it a while ago. Tears ran down because you realize so much to be so strong but yet we are so weak on the easiest complaints. And you also remember the ones you lost and how precious time is. Plus, you should see the reaction when Simon and them revisited her after she passed. It’s so damn it hurts.
Since October 1st 2019 I have had 3 different types of cancer in 3 different places...God has taken them ALL and I sit here today CANCER FREE! So I really felt her heart...beautiful lady and beautiful song...❤❤❤
After she died, an act returned to America's Got Talent and performed a Tribute with the song; you'll cry even harder, as did the judges, especially Simon
Nightbird was such a loving person with a fantastic song of hers to sing. Unbelievable & so sad I remember she did a couple of songs for AMG & eventually she had to stop because of her health. I shall NEVER forget her, such a beautiful young woman. Nightbird definately didn't look 30! I thought she was maybe 20, & that's no lie. Goodnight precious Nightbird - you showed all your feelings & kept on until her passing. RIP Nightbird 💔💔
Is was in for a fight with cancer myself after beating colon cancer. The chemo I received gave me Mylodisplastic Syndrome, known as MDS. I did just barely beat it. That was 8 years ago. I had my last appointment 2 weeks ago with my doctor and she broke the bad news. The MDS is back. This song gives me hope.
After seeing this years ago, my health declined and I started into the hardest time of my life. I listen to this song and hold on to it, knowing I'm not alone. I don't have cancer, but the pain is real. It's difficult, but Jane was such an inspiration.
Find the video of the choir singing the song. The audience is screaming "Golden Buzzer" so loudly that Simon, for the first time ever, lets the audience have a chance to put an act through to the live shows.
I have lost my Dad, my husband, several aunts and uncles and a lot of friends to that bastard. (Cancer). Most recently, I lost my stepdaughter to breast cancer. And like Nightbird, my baby girl never gave up! Also can’t stop crying
You really need to follow up with Mzansi African Youth Choir sing this song as a tribute to Nightbird on AGT. It was a moving performance as well as her song went around the world and came full circle back to AGT.
One thing she said to the judges after her AGT audition was "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore until you decide to be happy." Profound statement.
To all im sorry for the those lost, i had cancer at 20... you have to just say f u to it. Ignore the worry. Because positive thinking it brings you through.
I lost both of my parents to cancer. But they both had the same additud about life and death. They helped me through there death by staying positive till the end. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about them. Stay Positive 😊
You should check out her TH-cam. She has a post shortly before she died that made me so sad. There was also a choir who did this in honor of NightBirde on AGT as well.
The 5 seconds of silence at the end of her AGT performance was just .....just. i have her album Ocean and Sky. It is wonderful. She also has you tube videos....check them out.
Simon befriended her until the end of her life. She wasn't able to return to the show for her 2nd appearance. A South African Choir heard Nightbirde on AGT and appeared on AGT (Nightbirde Tribute Choir Makes Simon Cowell CRY on AGT 2023!): th-cam.com/video/vYcOuepQTvs/w-d-xo.html
My brother died from cancer at the age of 36, my brother would always tell me this too shall pass or It's OK we will see each other again. I miss my brother so much.
I think she left her little mark on the world. Sure its a sad story but she had a fantastic outlook and a brave spirit to even get out there on stage and touch everyone in that crowd and watching at home the night that episode aired. If I am not mistaken "It's Ok" hit the charts the night it aired and she started selling songs on I tunes almost right away. She had recorded a bunch of songs like 2 albums worth and they are out there I know spotify still has her music posted. Not sure where the money goes but likely to her family and or some to cancer reseach which I think would be something she'd have wanted to help other folks if she could. She was a special soul in an ever darkening world and right now I think the world could use a few more NightBird's in it to touch us all like she did.
I lost my grandpa my moms dad to cancer and no one knew he had cancer because he never complained about anything. Rip Grandpa. Please save me a spot in heaven next to to so we can fishing again. 😇🙏

Jane and her brother left Ohio for California to get specialized treatment for her cancer. It was in Long Beach,
I hope that she’s resting in peace🎉

Nightbird did an interview June 2021 I brought me to tears. I really recommend you watch this.

I knew her personally I rented a house from her dad. I rented it for 10 years. She was a nice girl. R.I.P
my wife is fighting cancer in three different organs right now and we listen this song as much as we can.
She was so strong 😢. I have been through Cancer and it’s so hard. I also that performance and cried through it all. She sing so beautiful z what a beautiful angel she will be ❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇😇

She was an absolute beast and a beautiful song. A couple years ago another group did a tribute to ladybird. Also had us all crying ❤
This was heartbreaking. This girl was a inspiration to thousands. She was resilient and positive till the end. She had Simon crying. Wise beyond her years. Greetings from South Africa

I love the song. I heard it some months before she died and was sad to hear the news when she passed.
She was such a special Lady. She is really loved across the country and in truth across the world. Thanks for this.

Right after her song on AGT she said " I have a 2persent chance to live but 2 persent is not nothing.
She had a huge fan base and always inspired others to never give up.
Simon Cowell paid her medical bills and for her to get the best medical treatment possible.

her comment to Simon…”You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy”…I was watching a Angel

Nightbird was such a loving person with a fantastic song of hers to sing. Unbelievable & so sad I remember she did a couple of songs for AMG & eventually she had to stop because of her health. I shall NEVER forget her, such a beautiful young woman. Nightbird definately didn't look 30! I thought she was maybe 20, & that's no lie. Goodnight precious Nightbird - you showed all your feelings & kept on until her passing. RIP Nightbird 💔💔
Is was in for a fight with cancer myself after beating colon cancer. The chemo I received gave me Mylodisplastic Syndrome, known as MDS. I did just barely beat it. That was 8 years ago. I had my last appointment 2 weeks ago with my doctor and she broke the bad news. The MDS is back. This song gives me hope.
After seeing this years ago, my health declined and I started into the hardest time of my life. I listen to this song and hold on to it, knowing I'm not alone. I don't have cancer, but the pain is real. It's difficult, but Jane was such an inspiration.
Find the video of the choir singing the song. The audience is screaming "Golden Buzzer" so loudly that Simon, for the first time ever, lets the audience have a chance to put an act through to the live shows.
I have lost my Dad, my husband, several aunts and uncles and a lot of friends to that bastard. (Cancer). Most recently, I lost my stepdaughter to breast cancer. And like Nightbird, my baby girl never gave up! Also can’t stop crying
I watched AGT a lot. Her story was so sad. Cancer is a vicious killer. She had such a beautiful outlook on life, until she died. ❤😢
As a cancer survivor , she touched me so much.😢
You really need to follow up with Mzansi African Youth Choir sing this song as a tribute to Nightbird on AGT. It was a moving performance as well as her song went around the world and came full circle back to AGT.
Great Choice Brice!
She was a beautiful soul
One thing she said to the judges after her AGT audition was "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore until you decide to be happy." Profound statement.
To all im sorry for the those lost, i had cancer at 20... you have to just say f u to it. Ignore the worry. Because positive thinking it brings you through.
I lost both of my parents to cancer. But they both had the same additud about life and death. They helped me through there death by staying positive till the end. A day doesn't go by that I don't think about them. Stay Positive 😊
You should check out her TH-cam. She has a post shortly before she died that made me so sad. There was also a choir who did this in honor of NightBirde on AGT as well.
I am battling cancer right now and this song hits home hard
Mental health made it touch me in a certain way and wish I was as strong as she was.
My cousin died from cancer, we buried her today 😢
I'm so very sorry for your loss.❤
Very sorry for ur loss
@@rayewhitten5597 Thank you
Be sure that you watch all the other times that she made appearances on AGT. I know that they have it all linked together in a video here on youtube.
Thank you Sebs
The 5 seconds of silence at the end of her AGT performance was just .....just. i have her album Ocean and Sky. It is wonderful. She also has you tube videos....check them out.
Simon befriended her until the end of her life. She wasn't able to return to the show for her 2nd appearance. A South African Choir heard Nightbirde on AGT and appeared on AGT (Nightbirde Tribute Choir Makes Simon Cowell CRY on AGT 2023!): th-cam.com/video/vYcOuepQTvs/w-d-xo.html
I saw her on America's Got Talent - she's from Ohio . .and I was so sad . . Rest in Peace Nightbirde!!
She died during that season of America's Got Talent.
My brother died from cancer at the age of 36, my brother would always tell me this too shall pass or It's OK we will see each other again. I miss my brother so much.
I think she left her little mark on the world. Sure its a sad story but she had a fantastic outlook and a brave spirit to even get out there on stage and touch everyone in that crowd and watching at home the night that episode aired. If I am not mistaken "It's Ok" hit the charts the night it aired and she started selling songs on I tunes almost right away. She had recorded a bunch of songs like 2 albums worth and they are out there I know spotify still has her music posted. Not sure where the money goes but likely to her family and or some to cancer reseach which I think would be something she'd have wanted to help other folks if she could. She was a special soul in an ever darkening world and right now I think the world could use a few more NightBird's in it to touch us all like she did.
An Angel was passing through - we should pay attention to these visitations. ❤
Well said, Sebs.
I lost my grandpa my moms dad to cancer and no one knew he had cancer because he never complained about anything. Rip Grandpa. Please save me a spot in heaven next to to so we can fishing again. 😇🙏
Can't believe I'm gonna watch this bcuz I bawl on just shorts 😢
