The first season of The Launch has introduced us to an array of talented Canadian artists and left us feeling ways. Now that the season has come to an end we’re pressing repeat on the launched singles as well as the most memorable moments from the show. Scroll through to see what’s made our list of fave clips, all the way from cute to cringe-worthy! Binge watch the entire series on Saturday February 24 on Much, starting at 10am ET/7am PT.
“I love the way that you said ‘Thank you’ before we clapped,” laughs singer-songwriter Shania Twain in the young singer’s audition clip. But hey, with a voice like hers, Vivian Hicks should be confident AF. Yes queen!
Tensions run high in the studio when Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine essentially rewrite Ain’t Easy. Scott Borchetta struggles to keep a straight face watching the exchange between the ambitious young artists and an unimpressed Ryan Tedder in the clip below. Awkward!
There’s no shortage of style on this season of The Launch though alternative rock trio The Static Shift took it to a whole new era. The band’s groovy aesthetic makes their audition clip below look straight from the ’70s. Rock on!
Not many 15-year-olds can boast that their voice brings pop sensation Fergie to tears, but Sariyah Hines can. “We just went to church,” Scott Borchetta exclaims following Hines’ performance in the clip below. Preach!
Nineteen-year-old singer songwriter Zack Lane wows the mentors with his voice but leaves them craving audience interaction. Scott Borchetta tries to remedy this by pointing out Julia Michaels’ heart eyes for Lane, though the extra attention just leaves him blushing. Awwwww!
On this especially young episode of The Launch Scott Borchetta enlists Grammy Award-winning Alessia Cara on set as a surprise mentor. The 21-year-old singerongwriter gives the teenage artists the 411 on what it’s like being a pop star.
Relive these moments and more this Saturday February 24 with a marathon of The Launch starting at 10am/7am ET on Much.
