We received 4 yesses on Canada鈥檚 Got Talent!! If we end up making it to the next round and then to the finale (May 14th), we will need Canada鈥檚 help to vote for us to win!
This is the first year the prize has ever been so high, noted a release from Rogers Communications, describing the amount as 鈥渢he biggest cash prize in Canadian television history.鈥�
The hip hop and popping dance duo were previously on the 2022 season of America鈥檚 Got Talent, and were eliminated in the semifinals.
While Fryer and Rush are the only Islanders to make the final cut, they will be joined by fellow British Columbian Eshan Sobti, a vocalist from Mission, next Tuesday, May 7, at 8 p.m. on CityTV.
The duo received four yeses from the series鈥� judges Howie Mandel, Lilly Singh, Trish Stratus and Kardinal Offishall following their first appearance on the show April 2. Funkanometry鈥檚 choreographed and mostly synchronous routine started off to Lynyrd Skynyrd鈥檚 Sweet Home Alabama, but comically changed to Queen鈥檚 Don鈥檛 Stop Me Now.
鈥淵ou are taking things from the old school, you鈥檙e taking things from the new school and you鈥檙e combining it,鈥� said Offishall during the April 2 broadcast. 鈥淵ou guys are incredible and I loved it.鈥�
Next week鈥檚 episode can be caught on the CityTV channel, streamed on the app CityTV Plus, or on the website .
If the duo makes it through to the finals at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagra Falls, Ont., airing May 14, they鈥檒l need fans to send in their votes to help them win the $1 million grand prize.
