At just 14 years old, Shea Liu stepped onto the Canada’s Got Talent stage carrying far more than nerves. With a quiet confidence and visible emotion, she introduced a song that meant everything to her—an intimate cover of “Like My Father” by Jax that would soon leave both judges and audience deeply moved.
From the first lines, it was clear this performance was personal. Shea dedicated the song to her parents, with special emphasis on her father, and every lyric felt sincere rather than rehearsed. Her voice, soft yet controlled, delivered the message with a maturity that felt far beyond her age.
As the song unfolded, the room grew noticeably still. The judges listened intently, reacting not only to her vocal ability but to the honesty behind it. Shea didn’t rely on big notes or dramatic gestures—she relied on emotion, and it worked.
By the final moments, the impact was undeniable. One judge reached for the Golden Buzzer, sending Shea straight through in one of the most touching highlights of the season. The moment wasn’t about spectacle; it was about connection.
Shea Liu’s audition proved that sometimes the most powerful performances come from simple truths. With one song and a heartfelt dedication, she turned a personal story into a Golden Buzzer moment that viewers won’t soon forget.
