  1. 0:03Paola Troilo introduces herself as an Italian food importer from Laval, Quebec.
  2. 0:36She points out her son and reveals he might have truffles in his pocket.
  3. 0:58Troilo explains that her sons secretly entered her after she mistook her singing for noise.
  4. 2:07Her performance of "Nessun dorma" begins.
  5. 4:44Mandel calls for the judges' collective verdict.
  6. 4:59A separate bonus stand-up clip follows, featuring a comic's hockey-mom joke.

Paola Troilo has a modest description of the voice that brought her to the stage: "I thought I was making noise and I was disturbing." Her sons evidently thought it deserved a bigger audience. They secretly signed her up for Canada's Got Talent.

The show's newly posted clip revisits the 2023 contestant's audition, and it has passed 200,000 views in roughly thirty hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's regular videos.

Before the singing, Troilo introduces herself as an Italian food importer living in Laval, Quebec. She even points out a son in the audience who might have truffles in his pocket. It is a wonderfully specific bit of shop talk to bring onto a talent-show stage.

Then comes "Nessun dorma." Troilo's operatic performance brings the audience and all four judges to their feet. Afterward, Howie Mandel answers her earlier description directly: "That is not a noise, that is beautiful. That is wonderful."

The comments keep returning to that word, noise, with viewers finding their own ways to reject it. Others debate whether the performance deserved a Golden Buzzer rather than the unanimous yes votes it received.

Troilo, meanwhile, has a practical response to the moment. Wiping away tears after her performance, she announces: "I'm going to put away the truffle."
