" He&amp;#039;s so wholesomely handsome he could pass for a member of the High School Musical cast, he&amp;#039;s written his debut album with the team behind Girls Aloud&amp;#039;s record-breaking run of hit singles, and he&amp;#039;s just lined up a support slot with JLS, the biggest pop group in the country. Alex Gardner&amp;#039;s a dead cert and dead certs are dull, right? Actually, on this evidence, wrong. First there&amp;#039;s the young Scot&amp;#039;s voice, which is rich, manly and intriguingly husky - did naughty Grandad Gardner treat him to the odd dram of whisky while he was growing up? Then there&amp;#039;s the fact that his debut single, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m Not Mad&amp;#039;, builds on this intrigue. A glossy-yet-gloomy electropop affair, and very much a grower not a shower, it finds our hero urging his would-be girlfriend to dump her current squeeze for him. Spare a thought for the rival - unless his surname&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Efron&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Pattinson&amp;#039; or maybe &amp;#039;Merrygold&amp;#039;, he doesn&amp;#039;t stand a chance.  &amp;gt; Click here to watch the &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m Not Mad&amp;#039; video "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
