Nightbirde auditioned for America’s Got Talent, and she blew everyone away. No one more than Simon Cowell, who cried after hearing her sing.
He has heard so many singers, so why did she touch him more than anyone else? She told the judges before she performed that she has cancer in her lung, spine, and liver with a 2% chance of survival. Knowing that, you would think she might be giving up. Far from that. She came out like a powerhouse, full of positivity as she sang an original song about her cancer battle.
But Nightbirde’s backstory was not enough to get her through to the next round. Her singing was so exceptional that Cowell hit the golden buzzer for her. Guaranteeing that she would move on to the live shows.
However, there is only one thing that would stop her, and today she gave us the bad news.
Sharing my heart with the world on AGT has been an honor and a dream come true. My point of view this summer has been astounding. What a miracle that the pain I’ve walked through can be reworked into beauty that makes people all over the world open their eyes wider.
Since my audition, my health has taken a turn for the worse and the fight with cancer is demanding all of my energy and attention. I am so sad to announce that I won’t be able to continue forward on this season of AGT. Life doesn’t always give breaks to those that deserve it—but we knew that already.
Thank you for all your support, it means the world to me. Stay with me, I’ll be better soon. I’m planning my future, not my legacy. Pretty beat up, but I’ve still got dreams.
Here is to hoping that she kicks cancer’s ass like she nailed that audition and will be back next season cancer free and ready to win it all. She already won our hearts.
