2010 Your Country Needs You - Alexis

Alexis performed a Rick Astley classic and then took part in an ABBA medley, with all the other contestants.

Alexis was chosen by the panel, along with Josh and Esma, to sing the UK entry - with the public voting for the overall winner. Sadly Karen, Miss Fitz and Uni5 did not make it through to this next round of the contest.

Alexis then performed the Pete Waterman and Mike Stock produced song That Sounds Good To Me.

After the phone vote results were revealed, Esma was placed third, Alexis came second and Josh had won. You can also find out more about the results in our exclusive news story.

20 year-old Alexis Gerred has always been a keen performer, but has never worked professionally - until now. As a young boy he was very much into acting, but only fell in love with singing when he performed in his school's production of Grease.

He believes his talent may come from his dad, who used to sing in various bands, and has given Alexis lots of encouragement in becoming a performer. Having been brought up listening to likes of Rod Stewart and Freddie Mercury, Alexis aims to emulate his childhood singing icons.

Taught to act, sing and dance at the Kent and Surrey Academy of Performing Arts, he considers himself to be a "showman" and has "no passion for anything else."
