During Tuesday night’s episode of Canada’s Got Talent, Prince Albert’s Rebecca Strong moved the nation with her audition, earning the ‘Golden Buzzer’ and $25,000 from CIBC.
Singing Demi Lovato’s ‘Stone Cold’, Strong’s powerful performance captivated the judges.
During the episode, Howie Mandel also praised the young woman.
With the season’s grand prize at one million dollars, Lilly Singh asked Strong how it might impact her life. Strong expressed her desire to help her parents, especially her father, by enabling his retirement. Singh acknowledged Strong’s purpose to help others like her before pressing the golden buzzer. Overwhelmed with emotion, Strong burst into tears.
Strong says she has not seen a lot of Indigenous people on the show, so she hopes she is opening a door. She says she has been reading every single comment and is “so thankful and grateful” for the support.
“I had just seen a post that my sister reposted, and she had said, ‘Proof that one person can move a whole nation.’ And I thought that was very kind, it made me tear up a little bit.”
