Jeanick Fournier (born May 20, 1972) is a Canadian singer from Saguenay, Quebec, most noted as the winner of the second season of Canada's Got Talent.[1]
Fournier, who works as a palliative care attendant in Saguenay and is the adoptive mother of two children with Down syndrome,[2] grew up in the small town of Dolbeau-Mistassini and later moved to the Saguenay borough of Chicoutimi in adulthood.[3] She has performed in Quebec for a number of years, most notably in a Céline Dion tribute show.[4]
In 2012, Jeanick Fournier was approached to participate in the French show's second season The Voice: la plus belle voix. She has been on tour since 2006 with a show entirely devoted to Celine Dion. Fournier is directly selected to be one of the 140 finalists.[5][6] Having revealed her selection to the press, her audition was canceled the next day.[7]
In 2019, she also launched Cinq divas, a show in which her Dion repertoire was supplemented with songs by Ginette Reno, Lara Fabian, Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga.[8] She released the album Mes coups de cœur, a collection of covers of some of her favourite songs which included one original song written by Fournier and Véronique Gagné, in 2015.[9]
