Best Buy: Singing in the rain – US star Alexis Jordan goes down a storm at Best Buy in Rotherham
US singing sensation Alexis Jordan took time out from her tour with JLS to pop into Best Buy Rotherham to perform an exclusive set from her debut album.
A sudden rain storm started soon into her first song but the America’s Got Talent-alumni powered through her full set as fans sheltered under umbrellas and cheered her on.
She was the headline artist at the new store’s opening weekend festivities, which also featured performances from X Factor runner up Paije Richardson and new pop band, Six-D.
Thousands turned out to watch her strut her stuff on the Best Buy bus performing. For more content from the show visit the Best Buy Facebook page.
