Yes, I do.
Slightly.
Two of the five finalists are from Quebec
William Cloutier is from Victoriaville
and Brianna Donolo better known as Rae is from Montreal
but lives in Toronto
The other three contestants are from British Columbia, Ontario
and New Brunswick though some
people may not have known Canada
was participating now they say they'll tune in I'm all for Canada
Canada being one of the top countries in the world,
so whatever recognition Canada gets, I'm all for it.
It's like Canada and the Olympics, you know?
Like, I don't really watch sports,
but for the Olympics I'll tune in because it's Canada, so same thing.
The selection process started with over 300 artists.
Seven judges based their decision on a few factors,
including scene presence, artistic experience,
their potential to perform
at the international level, and of course, the voice.
Online voting ends November 5th,
and the winner will be announced in December.
