Mission singer Eshan Sobti will compete for $1 million next week after moving on to the Canada害羞草研究所檚 Got Talent finale.
Public votes helped power Sobti to the final round. Four contestants needed Canada害羞草研究所檚 support to earn the last two spots in the finale, and it was announced on Breakfast Television on Thursday morning (May 9) that Sobti and comedian Sterling Scott are moving on.
The finale airs next Tuesday (May 14) at 5 p.m. PT on Citytv.
Sobti performed 害羞草研究所淭he Power of Love害羞草研究所� by Frankie Goes to Hollywood during the elimination round on Tuesday night (May 7). Before the performance, he said the song was out of his comfort zone.
With the stakes higher, the judges had higher expectations as well.
害羞草研究所淵ou know, it was a tough one for me because it was a little bit rough at the beginning. And this is the elimination round and we got to get as close to perfect as we can because there害羞草研究所檚 so much on the line,害羞草研究所� Kardinal Offishall said.
害羞草研究所淚 know when you auditioned, I was in love with you and it was undeniable. I害羞草研究所檓 a little more unsure tonight,害羞草研究所� Lilly Singh said.
害羞草研究所淚 do enjoy you as a performer but I don害羞草研究所檛 know if that was a million-dollar performance,害羞草研究所� Trish Stratus told Sobti.
害羞草研究所淚 agree with what everybody害羞草研究所檚 saying. You came out on the auditions and you blew the roof off the place. I will say that I don害羞草研究所檛 know that we saw all those sides of you tonight,害羞草研究所� Howie Mandel said.
Some of the judge害羞草研究所檚 reactions received boos from the audience.
害羞草研究所淚 do have to take a second just to personally, biasedly say the fact that a Punjabi kid is up here singing like that makes me so damn proud and that害羞草研究所檚 a win on its own,害羞草研究所� Singh added.
According to Sobti, Mandel had praise for him that didn害羞草研究所檛 make the final edit for the episode. The former Deal or No Deal host told Sobti he is the best singer in the competition but didn害羞草研究所檛 choose the right song.
害羞草研究所淭he public did not get to see him say that which was a bit upsetting, but I understand it害羞草研究所檚 a TV show at the end of the day,害羞草研究所� Sobti said.
Sobti says choosing the song was a difficult process. He wanted to do something both he and the audience could connect with but there were challenges getting a song approved due to clearance restrictions.
害羞草研究所淭he producers sent me a few options, and then eventually the only one that was able to get cleared was in the middle of my list. It wasn害羞草研究所檛 my favourite choice, but I knew I had to move forward with it and do my best. I worked very hard on the vocals, and I felt that I killed the performance vocally,害羞草研究所� Sobti said.
Six acts were guaranteed a spot in the finale. Four contestants, including Sobti, moved on to a public vote with two more spaces left.
