ahhhhhh, many of the best performers of the past started as “bar singers” , dont knock it.

oh, bye the bye, i think the right person won. i think if barbara
would have won, her talent would have been wasted in las vegas. i
think she will do alot better and have better opportunities
than if she would have won! she would have wasted to much time
being locked into a vegas contract. now she can find a good
manager to book her into the venues that she deserves and
where she can let her great talent really shine.

ok, time for me to make (maybe) some enemies.
kevin skinner does NOT have a “great” voice!!
that being said, he has something better.
he gives an honest performance, and he sing’s
from the heart. that is what gets me, his heart.
some of the greatest performers in history were
not “technically” great, but they had their own
style that would blow people away. kevin has this
gift. we are all better for it, for having heard an
honest man be honest with us.

Thank you Leah,
We followed Kevin all the way through the competition, I’m glad you stepped up with info proving the gossip about him untrue. I never would have believed that untrue story anyway.

“America’s Got Talent” or “America’s Got A Nice, Humble Sweet Guy With Marginal Singing Ability” What was the real title of the TV show? Something was screwed up with the voting process, allowing every redneck, hillbilly out-of-work sympathizer to vote a zillion times, making Skinner the winner. The obvious mega talent superstar that deserved the prize was Barbara. She is a godess with a voice above the angels. She was very nice sweet, and humble, too, just like Kevin. AND she had the talent of the century and did not win? That’s as bad a Catherine McPhee taking 2nd on American Idol a about 4 years ago. America has poor, second rate taste. At least the majority of America. Too bad we are going down the drain when it comes to reading ability and the ability to discern true talent above that of a bar singer.

You have to be kidding, this Kevin Skinner on AGT, is without a doubt the WORST singer I have ever heard. I have heard on AGT many better singers than him, no doubt. I realize its a show and all that america votes people to the top but this guy should have never made it past the front door of the audition area. No one is going to see this fellow in Vegas, no one, I live in Vegas and I can not see any casino giving him more than a one or two night shot at the big time. He sings flat, he sings without any real command of the words he is singing. Country Music, is way more sophisticated than what this fellow has to offer. Some one or some web entity hijacked the sight and pushed the worst performer through to the top. America is not that tone deaf. There was no contest and this chap should have been sent home many weeks ago.
He is a cry baby and Mister sensitive, but get real, if the bucket to carry a tune were as big as a ocean this guy could not carry the tune. I wish him well and glad he got a million bucks but he better save it as he has no future in the world of singers. My hat is however off to the person or persons that hijacked AGT site, if they investigate it, which I am sure they already have, they need better security on the site and allowing people to vote 10 times is not a vote that is absurd. AGT, you blew it. Kevin, you got a great payday and I hope you like playing to empty halls.

Anyone in this forum that thinks Kevin is not for real, and thinks he’s faking is definately not a good judge of character, end of story. This talented young man will have a great career…. He definately performs from his heart…. GOOD LUCK KEVIN.

I have been a great fan of Kevin from the beginning. I would love t hear him sing Eddie Arnold’s “Make The World Go Away” He is so special! Hope he wins!!!

Kevin is awesome and obviously a humble man from humble beginnings. Even if he does not win, his career will skyrocket. I just hope the music industry does not change him on the inside. He’s beautiful, real, and full of talent from the heart.

I’ve never been a fan of country but I would buy Kevin’s music in a heartbeat. He’s the real deal and I hope he wins AGT 2009.

LOVE YOU KEVIN!!!!!!

Living in N.C. to hear of a hometown boy doing good feels great. This guy has tallent. A country singer of his caliber is always welcome to my ears. I was born in Mayfield Ky. He seems to be ginuine and hummel to me. Alot of people from that area have struggled. As far as I remember there were no Hillbillys on the western portion of the state!!!! Who cares if he is or isn’t, Kevin can sing period. You go boy!!!

This may sound a bit off, but considering Kevin is a country singer/guitarist, I believe his finals song choice should be something a bit more uplifting than “Always On My Mind”.

Don’t get me wrong, I love both Willie’s and Michael Buble’s renditions and thought Kevin performed it quite well, but in the finals he will need the crowd and judges behind him more than ever.

Two possible song choices:
1) Suspicious Minds (Elvis and Dwight did it, why not Kevin?)
2) Heard It In a Love Song (this choice b/c Kevin sounds like Marshall Tucker’s vocalist – plus it’s a cool tune)

Just my 2 cents.

I am from Western Ky and find Kevin to be a very talented young man. Of course I am partial because he is from our region.
Best wishes to Kevin for great success. He deserves it.

Really, Mamaj. Let it go, I’m a teacher and I’m not going to criticize anyone on a blog for their spelling. If that is all you can come up with, go find something else to do. Oh, and by the way, look in the mirror on your way there. God don’t like ugly.

When I saw this young man come out on the America’s Got Talent stage without any pretense, I felt bad that the audience immediately thought he was putting them on. I guess growing up poor and having to work at odd jobs I am able to spot the real deal when I see it. And, Kevin is the real deal.

I sat in silence and just cried when I heard him sing. It wasn’t so much the song, but how he sang from the heart with feelings that made the song so special.

God bless Kevin, and I hope someone signs him to a recording contract whether he wins AGT or not. I would buy his CDs just to hear his voice. Very melodic, very honest.
