Kevin Skinner: America’s Got Talent
He came out on stage tonight on America’s Got Talent, and as usual, the judges…well, judged him. Kevin Skinner was dressed plainly, baseball cap on backwards, and wielded a guitar.
Kevin came out as the last audition of the day. A chicken catcher from Mayfield, KY with a deep southern drawl, Skinner didn’t have the Hollywood look that some of the other America’s Got Talent contestants do.
But the moment Kevin Skinner began to play If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks, everyone knew he was the truth. After a few notes, The Hoff sat back in his chair and said, “wow.” Needless to say he moved on to the second round.
As soon as the show ended the net went wild with searches for the video and pictures Kevin Skinner on America’s Got Talent, and we’ve got it here.

Kevin is just so sincere! I bet he doesn’t know how to take all the praise and wonders what the big deal is. He appears to me that he just wants to sing. I hope he wins.

Everyone that laughed at this man should be ashamed of themselves. I have never seen such a heartfelt and powerful performance in my entire life. I have watched him over and over on the internet and each time it brings tears to me eyes. Good luch Kevin. Just please stay the way you are when you become famous. Your grandmother is right there with you in spirit

Kevin, you were outstanding. You are outstanding. I’ll be there to buy your first CD. You don’t have to stand next to or behind Susan Boyle – you won and she didn’t. America’s Got Talent? America’s Got Taste!!!!

I liked Kevin, but he was a top 8 finalist at best, I feel for his story , but do for so many of the other contestants storys. If he records a great album, it will be because he got some voice lessons and perfected his talent. Look at recycled percussion, the fab five and Padea and you will see almost perfected talent and they should have been the top three. Use your money wisely and get some lessons to perfect your voice

The date is near November 2009 and I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve listed to this very song that you sung the very first time I saw you on TV. I think you are wonderful. Good luck to you and your family.
