The 37 dancers presented a final number inspired by the white page syndrome, but also by the troupe’s desire to tell its story and to surpass itself.

She presented a touching number, in which a writer, seated at the top of a giant book, with blank pages, first let himself be lulled by the sound of the typewriter keys which set the tempo. He then joined the rest of the cast in telling the story of Conversion, as ink marked the pages on the giant screen positioned at the back of the stage.

“Absolutely perfect!” Trish Stratus ventured in French at the end of the issue. The judge, who had given them the “golden buzzer” during the auditions, seemed completely charmed by their performance.
For his part, Howie Mandel said it was “the most beautiful dance number I’ve seen this season”.

“That’s what I expected! You gave your all and that’s how you stand out from the other dance troupes on the ‘show’. You are storytellers,” added Kardinal Offishall.
Conversion was the last troupe, among Quebecers, to take the stage at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls on Tuesday evening. She then ranked in the top 2 with the Lévis troupe The Cast.
By reporting the competition, Conversion gets its hands on $150,000.
Second place for the Lévis troupe
Lévis’ troupe, The Cast, finished in second place. She was the first to perform in this emotional final. She presented a number designed especially for the evening, on an all-percussion interpretation of “Hit the road Jack!” by Ray Charles. The 32 dancers, all aged 16 to 21, dazzled with their sparkling golden costumes like living street statues, their synchronicity and pyrotechnics.

“You have raised the bar. If I was behind the scenes, I would be scared right now,” Howie Mandel first launched.
“That’s how you start a ‘show’! I will never get tired of watching you perform. It’s all there, your costumes, and your facial expressions. You have definitely set the bar high,” added Lily Singh.
The end of Geneviève Côté’s journey
The evening had started well for Geneviève Côté. It was none other than the big winner of the first season of “Canada’s Got Talent”, Jeannick Fournier, who introduced the Lavalloise on stage.

She presented a number inspired by the Jurassic world, in a jungle setting and a green dress that married it perfectly. His little sketch opened with the sound of the waves, to which was added that of small exotic animals, until the big dinosaurs took over. The number ended in a haunting electric guitar solo, as well as the singing of a soprano.
“You transcend my mind,” said Lilly Singh, who seemed completely bewitched and amazed by the noisemaker.

Unfortunately, she did not make it to the last four finalists.
This season, 462 contestants participated in “Canada’s Got Talent”.
Recall that the Saguenéenne Jeannick Fournier won last year, the first season of “Canada’s Got Talent”.
