Kerr had one clear dream: to become a recording artist. And not just any artist — he looked up to legends like Freddie Mercury, aiming for that same level of power, energy, and stage magic.
When he announced his song choice, “Try A Little Tenderness,” it raised eyebrows. It’s a demanding classic, even for experienced performers. But Kerr didn’t hesitate.

The judges were visibly shocked.
David Walliams praised his “astonishing voice” and powerful stage energy, even drawing comparisons to Freddie Mercury for his explosive presence. The panel agreed that Kerr wasn’t just talented — he was different. He stood out instantly.
By the end of the performance, the reaction was clear: four massive “YES” votes.
