–WOODY BELFORT (MontrĂ©al, QC) impressed the judges with his feats of strength, using calisthenics, bars and his own wheelchair. Howie said, “you’re a superhero!”

–SLAVIC BLING (Toronto, ON) debuted a fun musical performance with stilts, trumpets, and accordions, that got Kardi dancing.
-Singer HOLLY MELVILLE (Victoria, BC) blew everyone away with an epic opera performance. Kardi said, “I was not expecting you to sound the way that you sound, based on the cover of your book!”
-19-year-old ESHAN SOBTI (Mission, BC) shared that past experiences with bullying motivated him to express himself through music. His cover of “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston made the crowd erupt into cheers.
-A group of young acrobatic gymnasts ACRO ACADEMY (Oakville, ON) showcased their skills on stage with their incredible throws, flips, and twists.
-Teacher MIKE GLENNEY (Waterdown, ON) tap danced on a surface that lit fire beneath his feet. Lilly said, “you crushed it!”
-Singer-songwriter JOEL VAN VLIET (Queenston, ON) performed an original song that had the judges chuckling; Kardi said, “what you did here tonight was innovative, it was creative, you should be proud…”
