Canada's Got Talent starts March 4

In less than a month, we get to judge just how talented Canadians are.

Citytv announced Monday that Canada's Got Talent will start airing Sunday, March 4, at 8 p.m.

The first seven episodes will feature the cross-country auditions, which stopped in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Halifax and Montreal. Then, in a special episode on March 26, we'll see judges Martin Short, Measha Brueggergosman and Stephan Moccio deciding which 36 acts move on to the semifinals.

Six acts per week will compete over six weeks, with live, one-hour performance shows airing Sundays at 8 p.m. and results shows Mondays at 7 p.m., when two semifinalists will advance: one selected by viewers, one by judges.

The 12 finalists compete in a live, two-hour episode on May 13, with the first Canada's Got Talent winner revealed in a live season finale on May 14.

I had a chance to watch second-round auditions in Toronto in December and I think this is going to be a fun one, folks.

All 12 finalists perform just once, with the winner the next day????? Sounds like this won't last very long!

Sounds like that's the way it works in May, yeah. But there'll be six semifinalists performing every week.

And by the way, welcome back to the blog, Ang!

To tell you the truth, I have't been on here forever. I used to work for the Toronto Star Customer Service in Halifax. However, just over a year ago, I went back to school, and graduated in August. At that time, I quit working there. (I would read the paper online and your blog between calls). I have been reading what you post on Facebook, but don't always comment. I am now working as a paralegal and loving it!

That's great, Ang! Good for you. It's nice to have you back whenever you can drop by.
