Alfie wins Cowell's vote on America's Got Talent

Alfie Andrew, from Reddish, Stockport, appeared across the pond on the major US show this week and belted out Hold My Hand, a high-powered ballad by Lady Gaga to a roaring applause from the audience.

And the clip of his audition, in which judge Sofia Vergara told him he was 'going to be a rock star, has already received almost two million views on YouTube and earned Alfie quite the following on social media.

Alfie is no stranger to performing having previously been filmed singing the likes of Whitney Houston to shoppers along Market Street as many stopped in awe to watch the youngster.
