He captivated both the judges and the audience with his rendition of \u201cThe Best\u201d by Tina Turner during the two-hour finale on Citytv earlier this week.<\/p>\n

A press release says Lewis had long dreamed of becoming a full-time singer but put his ambitions on pause five years ago when his twin boys were born prematurely with complications.<\/p>\n

Judge Shania Twain supported Lewis after hearing his audition during which he sang Bon Jovi\u2019s \u201cBed of Roses.\u201d<\/p>\n
