#FIRSTLOOK: “CANADA’S GOT TALENT” APRIL 8, 2025 EPISODE RECAP

Last night’s episode of CANADA’S GO TALENT saw a standing ovation from judges for a brilliant young talent! See who!

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

• The STUDIO 26 DANCERS (Halifax, NS) lit up the stage with energetic, impressive dance moves that had the crowd roaring!
• 15-year-old singer KYRA DANIEL (Kingston, ON) received a standing ovation for her powerful and deeply personal cover of “Black Like Me” by Mickey Guyton. Kardinal Offishall was personally moved by the performance, saying, “it felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.” (seen above)
• Katherine Ryan hit her first-ever Golden Buzzer forcomedian 
• DARREN LEO (Toronto, ON). His stand-up performance poking fun at Asian stereotypes had the crowd and judges bursting with laughter.
