Jane Marczewski, a groundbreaking singer featured on the latest season of America's Got Talent, has revealed on her Instagram that she is no longer able to compete in the series. Known for her viral performance of "IT's OK" on AGT, Jane, also known as Nightbirde, has captured the hearts and attention of audiences worldwide. Battling with cancer and trying to achieve her dreams of writing songs and performing, Jane has gone above and beyond to make her dreams a reality by competing on AGT and sharing her heart and beautifully rendered original music with the world.
While AGT has not held its weight in the world of reality television, some even questioning if the series should remain on the air, Jane has brought life and compassion to the seemingly redundant series. With 16 seasons of AGT, the gags and theatrics have fallen flat, yet talent and storytelling have kept the series afloat. Jane and so many bring touching, human stories to audiences weekly as they share their talents with the world. Motivated to share positivity and hope with the world, Jane continues to excel, having not only gotten the golden buzzer from day one but also the approval of Simon Cowell and the rest of America.
On Instagram, Jane shared the dismal news that she can no longer be featured on AGT because of her worsened cancer. While her music remains upbeat and positive, Jane shares the pain of this loss. In her post, she writes, "Life doesn't always give breaks to those that deserve it—but we knew that already." Jane captures the pain, confusion, and anger of being diagnosed with cancer, followers able to see the defeat in her eyes and she says goodbye to AGT.
As the series continues, Jane must put her dreams on hold as she manages her health. While certainly not the end to Jane's bright future as a musician and songwriter, she has sadly had to leave the competition and focus on more important things. With disappointment from both Jane and Americans rooting her on each week, Jane continues to move forward toward redeeming her steller, golden buzzer-worthy performance.
America's Got Talent is known for its odd performances and often laughable acts, yet the show gains complexity as it tackles grief, cancer, and mental health. Jane has become a figure of hope for anyone in the works of making their dreams a reality. Despite unspeakable odds, Jane has chosen to do everything in her power to perform and encourage others, yet her illness has become an obstacle that cannot be ignored. As she confronts her illness, she proclaims, "Pretty beat up, but I've still got dreams," a powerful, goose-bump-inducing end to an emotional, empowering, and haunting post.
