Season 3

The fourth season of the Canadian talent show competition series Canada's Got Talent premiered on March 19, 2024. [1]

Contents

The season was won by Rebecca Strong, a singer from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Format

Auditions

The auditions took place in front of the judges and a live audience. At any time during the audition, the judges showed their disapproval of the act by pressing a buzzer, which lights a large red "X" on the stage. If all the judges pressed their buzzers, the act must end. Voting worked on a majority-of-three basis, where three positive votes from the judges were required. The Golden Buzzer is placed in the center of the stage, and each judge (or the host) can only press the Golden Buzzer once, sending an act straight to the eliminations.

Eliminations

The elimination round and final were broadcast through two episodes. Judges could still end a performance early with four Xs. The acts competed for three judge votes that sent them straight to the finals, and the rest competed for a Canada-wide vote that dictated the rest of the finalists. The judges were asked to express their views on each act's performance. Phone lines, Twitter, Facebook, texting and online voting platforms opened for one-hour after all acts were performed. The public voted for the act they thought was the best. Voters could submit a total of fifty votes (ten in each platform). After the votes were counted, the act that polled the highest number of public votes, automatically was placed in the final. The judges then chose between the second and third most popular acts, with the winner of that vote also gaining a place in the final. All other acts were then eliminated from the competition.

Production

In May 2023, Citytv announced that it had renewed Canada's Got Talent for a new season to premiere in 2024, and that the season would increase its grand prize to CA$ 1,000,000, which is credited to Citytv owner Rogers Communications. In addition, for the first time in franchise history, recipients of a Golden Buzzer during the auditions would also receive a $25,000 prize from sponsor CIBC. [2] [1] Filming began at OLG Stage at Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort on October 23, 2023. [3]

The season included an appearance by Daniel Powter, who introduced himself as an aspiring singer-songwriter performing a song he wrote before launching into his 2005 hit "Bad Day". [4] According to Powter, he did so because despite having had one of the biggest pop hits of the 21st century he had never actually had an opportunity to perform on Canadian television. [4] He did not continue in the competition past the single appearance, although all four judges voted positive.
