When 16-year-old Edmonton, Alberta resident Jordan Ho entered the Canada’s Got Talent stage, the judges were taken aback by how young he was. He told a touching tale about his mother, who was present and had always encouraged him to sing, even when he gave a performance at her nail salon. This brief look inside his background demonstrated the commitment and encouragement that stoked his love of music and prepared the audience for an absolutely remarkable performance.
Jordan then launched into a stirring performance of “This is a Man’s World.” The judges were in awe of his wonderful voice as it filled the entire auditorium. Trish, one of the judges, was clearly moved to tears by his poignant and mature performance. He proved to be a formidable competitor with a performance that displayed a capability well beyond his years.
All four judges and the audience gave a loud standing ovation at the end of the audition. Kardinal, one of the judges, pronounced him the best vocalist he had seen this season because he was so impressed. Jordan moved on to the next stage of the competition after receiving a unanimous “yes” from the judges. In front of the crowd, overcome with emotion, he gave his mother a hug, a lovely display of mutual joy and accomplishment.
