I typically watch the auditions, and then I&#8217;ll stop watching &#8212; I did the same thing with season 1 of <strong>Canada&#8217;s Got Talent<\/strong>. Once they whittle the group down to a selection of talented people, I&#8217;m not that interested in who wins and who loses.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m interested in the surprise of what happens when someone gets on that stage. The one thing I don&#8217;t like is when someone sticks things in parts of the their body where things are not supposed to be stuck. I put my hand in front of my eyes for that. But that&#8217;s only once in a while. I really like how a regular person can get up on the stage and show their immense talent &#8212; that&#8217;s the part I like.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian judges are a bit friendlier on average. Martin Short hopefully needs no introduction &#8212; star of <strong>Three Amigos!<\/strong> and the TV show <strong>SCTV<\/strong>. Measha Brueggergosman is a world renowned opera and concert singer &#8212; I saw her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/measha-brueggergosman-in-concert\/\">singing jazz<\/a>. And Stephan Moccio is a composer, pianist, and record producer. The host of the show is Dina Pugliese (the TV show <strong>Breakfast Television<\/strong>), who seems like a perfect choice when you see how she interacts with the contestants.<\/p>\n<p>Created by Simon Cowell (<strong>The X Factor<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{4.5\/5} &#8220;What&#8217;s challenging is to not come across as arrogant&#8230; You have to continue to be supportive, to not crush dreams and certainly remember this is just silly old showbiz, not something that could affect the climate.
