Outstanding talent of Canadian boy on Canada got Talent

[tomtorfan]

For those who are interested in how Shale Wagman is doing in Canada's Got Talent...

He came in first in audience voting after Sunday night's performance and is therefore through to the finals. Just before his routine (a contemporary dance to the music of Coldplay), he was introduced by the host as "Canada's own Billy Elliot." If this kid isn't in Nora Brennan's rolodex, I'd be very surprised.

Here's a link to the full episode (Shale's routine begins around the 45-minute mark). Don't know if the show allows online viewers outside Canada. Do hope you're able to see it. His performance brought one of the judges to tears.

Didn't work for me, so I guess it isn't available outside Canada.

Worked for me, in deepest darkest Tampa.

As do all BBC IPlayer and Channel Four streams. There is a secret, however.................

Well, obviously I don't know the secret.

I googled the site and was able to watch the video of an interview with Shale, but the full episode videos will not work. I will wait for something to show up on youtube.

For anyone who's had difficulty seeing the video of Shale Wagman's semi-final performance on Canada's Got Talent because of possible geographic restriction issues...it's been posted to Vimeo:

Thanks for finding and posting that, Tom.

With a number of Canadian stops in the offing, it will be great if they train Shale to be the next Canadian Billy. Not only is he talented, but he seems to be a very nice young man - and he looks the right age to start playing Billy. Once the Canada Got Talent hoopla is over, they should snag him!!!

A nice article about Shale from Toronto.com.
