You can find a more in depth look at all 5 contestants in this Globe and Mail article, including details of a concert special where you can watch all of them in action before the voting deadline passes. 

"There will also be a concert broadcast live on CBC Music and ICI Musique from the Maison de Radio-Canada in Montreal on Nov. 1, where each contender will have the chance to sing at least a couple of songs. The event will be available to stream later on CBC Gem and tout.tv, but staging will be minimal."

The reveal of Canada’s first Eurovision finalists was designed to show that we mean business

A lot of francophone artists.
I voted for the singer from new brunswick, nice to reprisent a underreprisented canadian region in a national contest.
The others, montreal, ottawa, and vancouver, they already have to much reprisentation on the world stage, the east coast neads more.

I know little about Eurovision and the contest.  I am familiar with Reve and Tyler Shaw.  I was surprised that Shaw has had 4 platinum and 4 gold singles and has been with Sony Music Canada for 14 years.  I hear his music on the radio usually A/C stations.  Reve well known for her song Ctrl + Alt + Del and a couple of other dance songs.  Also have heard Talk for his song Run Away To Mars that got a little airplay.

Wasn't aware that Eurovision contestants included established artists so much.  I know some of the winners have gone on to big careers.  I thought Eurovision was more about new unknown artists not usually signed to a record label and not veterans when it comes to touring.

Just remember some of these names are known in Canada. I'm guessing almost none of them are stars in Europe. The Eurovision Song Contest could help change that, depending on who gets picked to represent this country.
