A familiar voice catches the judges off guard
When singer-songwriter Daniel Powter walked onto the Canada’s Got Talent stage, he made a surprising announcement: he’d be performing one of his own songs. The judges exchanged curious looks, unsure what to expect from a piece they didn’t immediately recognize. Still, Daniel’s quiet confidence hinted that something unforgettable was about to unfold.
From curiosity to pure excitement
But the instant the first notes of Bad Day echoed through the theater, everything changed. The crowd reacted instantly—smiles spread, people began to sing along, and a wave of recognition swept across the judges’ faces. What started as cautious curiosity turned into a powerful moment of realization: the man standing before them was the voice behind one of the most iconic hits of the 2000s.
This wasn’t just a performance. It was a musical reunion that filled the room with nostalgia, joy, and connection.
A standing ovation to remember
By the final chorus, the entire audience was on its feet, clapping and cheering. The judges joined them, clearly moved by the unexpected experience. Daniel, visibly touched, thanked everyone with genuine warmth.
It wasn’t just an audition—it was a celebration of a timeless song and a reminder that true artistry never fades. A moment no one in the room is likely to forget.
