Canada’s Got Talent 2025 just delivered one of its most emotional auditions yet when Mark Lewis, a quiet mechanic with a huge voice, walked onstage and ended up with a surprise Golden Buzzer.
Lewis introduced himself modestly, explaining that he works full-time as a mechanic and only sings “when life gets too loud.” His simple appearance and gentle manner kept expectations low—until he started to sing. Choosing a demanding classic ballad, he stunned the judges and audience with a rich, powerful vocal filled with raw emotion rather than showy tricks. The crowd began reacting mid-performance, cheering and exchanging shocked looks as his confidence grew with every note.
When the song ended, the theatre erupted. As the judges praised him, one of them — visibly moved — stood up, said that talent like his “deserves a moment,” and slammed the Golden Buzzer without any buildup or warning. Golden confetti rained down as Lewis dropped to his knees in disbelief, overcome with tears. He managed to say that no one had ever believed in him like that before, a line that hit viewers and the audience hard.
What makes this Golden Buzzer moment stand out isn’t just the vocal performance, but the contrast between Lewis’s ordinary life and his extraordinary talent. No big staging, no elaborate backstory package — just a regular guy who grabbed his one chance and turned it into a life-changing moment. Social media buzz and early fan reactions suggest he’s already a favorite going into the live shows, with many calling his audition one of the defining moments of CGT 2025.
