A confession: I used to DREAM of auditioning for Star Search. YES, I know I am dating myself. I would practice dance routines on my front lawn (and I have to say, my routine to MC Hammer’s “Pray” was PARTICULARLY phenomenal). BUT, spoiler alert; I never made it on Star Search. I also never made it onto ANY of the other talent shows that have existed since. I’ve watched sooooo many talented Nova Scotians kill it on shows like Canadian Idol, The Launch, Canada’s Got Talent and always wondered if I missed out on an AMAZING opportunity. If you, like me, have a case of the ‘What ifs’, DON’T WORRY: WE WILL GET OUR CHANCE!!

Canada’s Got Talent is getting a reboot!!

The show will air on CityTV in spring 2022. We don’t know many details about it yet. We DO know Simon Cowell WILL be involved in some capacity, and we’re still waiting for news on a host, judges, and auditions. As SOON as I know, I’ll let YOU know!! But in the meantime, let’s relive some ICONIC performances from Nova Scotians on past talent shows:

The MacMaster Leahy Kids on Little Big Shots

T. Thomason on The Launch

Ivan Daigle on Canada’s Got Talent

Kaleb Simmonds on Canadian Idol

Gary Beals on Canadian Idol

 

Chad Doucette on Canadian Idol

 

Dwight Deon on Canadian Idol (this performance is from his Halifax stop of The Winners Tour)

Needless to say, we’ve got some INCREDIBLE talent to live up to once Canada’s Got Talent returns in 2022!! In fact, I’m beginning to think my MC Hammer dance routine just wont cut it…
