Jacob Lewis, a singer from Newfoundland, stepped onto the Canada’s Got Talent stage with a story that immediately captured the hearts of the judges and audience. He shared that he used to work on an oil rig in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a difficult job he took on to provide for his family. He has since moved to an office job to spend more time with his wife and four-year-old twin boys, who were born early with various complications. His motivation was clear: to give his children a better life.
For his performance, Jacob poured all his emotion into a powerful rendition of “A Bag of Roses.” The sheer feeling in his voice was palpable, and his performance captivated the entire room. His honesty and vulnerability shone through in every note, and the audience and judges were visibly moved. He wasn’t just singing a song; he was sharing his heart and his journey, a moment that resonated deeply with everyone.
His dedication and talent did not go unnoticed. Judge Shania Twain praised him for his humility and for pouring his emotion into the performance, calling him a “rock star.” She was so moved that she pressed the Golden Buzzer, sending a shower of gold confetti onto the stage and sending Jacob straight to the next round of the competition. Overcome with emotion, Jacob fell to his knees as Shania rushed to the stage to embrace him. It was a beautiful and unforgettable moment that proved the power of a father’s love and the importance of following your dreams.
