She is seriously ill with cancer, but Jane Marzcewski sang so convincingly in America's Got Talent that juror Simon Cowell pressed the golden button.
– We had a lot of fantastic singers here this year, so I won't give you a "yes". Said Simon Cowell, after Jane Marczewski (30) performed the song "Its OK". It took place during Tuesday's edition of NBC's America's Got Talent. The audience could barely catch their breath in shock at Cowell's harsh message.

"I'll give you something else," Cowell said, pressing the "Golden Buzzer," the golden button that meant Jane was showered with gold confetti and could go straight to the grand finale.
- I have a 2% chance of survival. But two percent is not zero. Two percent is something - said Jane after the performance.
Range
America`s Got Talent is the largest and most popular U.S. talent competition on television, typically broadcast to approximately 12 million viewers. When the four jurors saw young, 30-year-old Jane Marczewski from Ohio walk on stage, they had no idea she was seriously ill with cancer. It came up almost by accident during the initial conversation. When Jane was asked what she did for a living, she replied that she hadn't been working that much lately because she was sick with cancer. "How are you?" Cowell asked, and the 30-year-old replied that at her last check-up, the cancer had spread to her lungs, back and liver.
"But I think it's important that everyone knows that I am more than the bad things that happened to me." Jane Marzewski said.

Her own song
It turned out that Jane took the stage name "Nightbird" and the song she performed is her work. It is about her difficult time in recent years with cancer. The song was dubbed "Its OK" even though its predictions aren't all right. Not only Simon Cowell was deeply touched by Jane Marczewski, both her voice and story. His co-judger Howie Mandel also stated that her performance was "the most genuine he's seen in an entire season."
