A friendly man in a dark T shirt walked onto the Canada’s Got Talent stage and introduced himself simply as Daniel. He said he was a singer songwriter and that he was going to perform an original song he had written.
Howie warned him that original songs are risky. With a top 40 hit, people tap their toes, he explained, but with something new you take a big chance. He wished Daniel luck, and the music started 🎶.
A few lines in, the judges began to smile, and when the chorus of Bad Day arrived, the whole room knew. This was Daniel Powter, the man who wrote one of the biggest songs of the 2000s, and the audience sang along with him.
Howie laughed and told him that he had a good day after all. Daniel said he had toured the world but had never played in Canada, and thanked them for bringing him home. Howie joked about his own warning, and the judges voted together in one big moment ❤️.
