How about Vanessa Olivarez...? She was one of eight "American Idol" finalists. It's no surprise the guys from the states didn't know the song or could find anything: she released the CD single, "The One," written by Canadians and released only in Canada to become a best selling single. http://www.vanessaolivarez.org/
By the way: I know neither singer nor song - I was just eager to make my first helpful contribution! Hope this helps.
Another by the way: I'm sitting in N.B. as well!!
