I Surrender is precisely the song that the Jeannoise performed during her live audition on the show, a tribute to her idol Celine Dion, whose original version of the song appears on the album A New Day Has Comein 2002.
“This song has been a favorite since the first time I heard it,” said Jeanick Fournier in a press release. Perform this song at Canada’s Got Talent, it was so obvious to me; I’ve been singing it for a long time so I knew that even though I was extremely nervous and emotional, I would manage to sing it. When the time came, I told myself that I was going to sing with my heart, my guts, to offer a better life to my children and not break my head for the end of the month. »
