#FIRSTLOOK: HIGHLIGHTS FROM “CANADA’S GOT TALENT”

Canada’s Got Talent’s Million Dollar Season is underway with Rogers ready to prize this season’s winner with a cool $1 million! We’ve got highlights and links to the performances!

Key moments from last night’s episode of Canada’s Got Talent, include:

• Kardinal hit the Golden Buzzer for MAT & MYM (Quebec City, QC)  who stunned the crowd with a thrilling aerialist routine on roller skates. Photographed above.

• Singer MATTHEW COOPER’s (Carbonear, NL) performance of “Who Wants To Live Forever” by Queen, brought all four judges to their feet.
• 4-year-old YUVIN MARASINI (Ajax, ON) – the youngest contestant to grace the CGT stage – performed an adorable cover of “Vacation” by Dirty Heads.
• RORY VAN ULFT (Ottawa, ON) surprised the judges by showing off an incredible feat of strength, making her the youngest weightlifter ever to clean and jerk double her bodyweight.
• LUKA & JENALYN (Toronto, ON) had the audience chanting “PUSH THAT GOLD!” after a passionate dance routine that Howie called “absolutely brilliant.”
• MARK CLEARVIEW (Toronto, ON) had everyone on their feet with a mind-blowing magic act; Howie said Mark was, “the best magician I’ve seen in 10 years.”
• 16-year-old singer JORDON HO (Edmonton, AB) performed an amazing cover of “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown, Howie said he “rose to the occasion.”
• Trish hit the Golden Buzzer for STERLING V. SCOTT (Edmonton, AB) after a hilarious comedy routine, Lilly called his talent “undeniable.”

The winner of Canada’s Got Talent’s Million Dollar Season receives a life-changing prize of $1M – the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history – thanks to Rogers, plus financial advice from CIBC. And that’s not all! Every Golden Buzzer recipient will receive $25,000 (totalling $150,000), courtesy of CIBC, to help realize their ambitions.
