[ambrose6317]

i love country song..and there's lot of better country singer than him..but want make me really like him is humble..god gave him that talent..make him one of the best country singer

[mrhossdkeezy]

this guy is so AMAZING

[LebronKiingJames]

this guy really has talent. His voice is PERFECT for the types of songs he sings and he has a way of really getting to you when he sings. He makes things sounds so professional and so catchy, the man has a natural born talent. He seems like REALLY nice guy too, very nice. Good Luck Kevin, look forward to seeing your success in the future!

[mingkang95]

@neoollz this song is called "Always On My Mind"

[neoollz]

what song is this..?

[monstersrock1996]

he has songs on itunes that are amazing. Please support this guy, he should be much more known then he is. Thumbs up if you agree with me

[GuRuTunG]

You will Always on my mind Kevin :)

[mingkang95]

agree!

[KatoKid85]

Wow 10 people are not deaf.....229 people voted for George W. Bush. Holy fuck is this guy flat....What the hell was America thinking?

[getonmylevel3x]

@KatoKid85 Are you going to post that shit about George Bush and Sarah Palin on all this guys videos, cuz it's getting old. So what if Kevin Skinner isn't a perfect singer, I bet most of the people you listen to don't sound good with their natural voice cuz it's all tweaked and perfected before you hear it. This guy has no singing experience, and is still a very good singer...give him some time to practice and he will get even better. Obviously America is smarter than you dumb ass.

[tarl1812]

@KatoKid85 I personally do not listen to much country, but this guy sings with emotion from experience and if you can't appreciate that then refrain from posting your stupidity

[chippermonk]

dang, i usually hate country , but he sounds really good

[dc3rvant3s]

Really?

"Your just as god as our chicken dinner"

^^Wrong your on national tv^^ I wonder sometimes.

[vnlhimself]

totally agree with xuanlane, Kevin is so emotional singer, he's voice is strong, fullfilled with emotions and feelings - best singer at the whole competition imo.

[imjustadoll1989]

this man sings with such emotion! i get a knot in my throat and tears in my eyes everytime i watch him!

[stembowhat]

I enjoyed watching him last season, but going back and listening to him a few more times reminded me how disappointed I was after his audition and quarterfinal round. Just wasn't the same. Missing notes and such, but there's always room for improvement. Still glad he won and represented the south and country music. =D

[heylookitsrobyn]

his audition was better

[cedarpd]

if a song sung like that came on the radio i'd turn the channel

[Jacobrester]

@cedarpd Yet here you are listening to it......strange

[dude1lover]

awww this is awesome

[Aishcrazy]

amazing performance, he was always my favourite, what is the name of the song that he is singing?

[jmallton]

@Aishcrazy He is singing "Always on Mind".......first released by Elvis Presley.....the song was written by Willie Nelson......Wille later released it and took it to #1

[Aishcrazy]

@jmallton thanks,its a great song

[jmallton]

Coming from poor or humble beginnings is usually the only way a person can be as geniune and humble as this man

[danrolpaus]

He's so emotional.. I think he's a good man and a good father

[Elsa0720]

good ole american...really...way to go Kevin. luv ur voice...very much...your songs are my fav

[MrDirgeinferno]

music is soul and this guy has tones of it with him

[shaheenmickael]

He sounds like Forrest Gump

[anaecarloslondres]

E emocionante ve-lo cantando, mas tambem e emocionante as entrevistas que ele da. E de arrepiar, ganhou merecidamente.

I'am Brasilian and I really like him. He's so emotional. Congratulations!!!

[lolxMerve]

I think that his audition was much better than his final performance, but he really deserved to win. Good job Skinner! I cried when i first was watching tv and saw his audition and how everyone made fun of him, but then he sang and changed everything. That was my favorite audition that season

[Tifftrinity]

He got a much needed makeover! :)

[peaceout10196]

he is just the best and i know thaqt he moves me. and where he comes from it is really hard to make a living trust me i would know. and this is something that it seems like he really wants. And he has my full respect. i would buy every cd that he makes and i want the audition on my ipod. and i am getting it

[KuwaSai]

I need to try KFC at least once.

[zldai]

wow people like him really deserve to win! Unlike others, he is very humble and a real star. I am impressed! keep it up. People like him can make a difference in society! 10 STARS

[psinghtaurus]

he is the most genuine guy i hav ever seen.,,go on kevin!!

[magic844]

go kevin.....brilliant!!!!!!

[YIVENCHY]

I saw the episode a while ago ..

Has a great talent in singing

I was impressed by his performance

I wish him luck

He mocked the public can see and the rulers, but proved to them that he may not control the appearance of one of the

I am from Saudi Arabia

[commenterofsorts]

Wow...it's just AMAZING that a guy from little ol' Mayfield, KY (a small ass town) SO friggen close to me (15 miles away) would WIN! I go to school there every day (Graves County High School) its just absolutly amazing and so surreal. I'm no way a "country girl" but I am proud of Kevin and his soulful voice.

[MrSuperTalentlover]

yes i agree with u all..

[sarahbisme1]

i darent comment coz im from england but would say this seems good to me and we dont really have a country thing in britain but, well done kevin

[newnewbabe1]

i absolutly hate it when people record shit of the tv i mean really

[mustnotforget]

i'll bet his CD of his own songs lets his awesome unique voice shine. Love this guys persona. I find only the first audition to be a showstopper but that and who he is carries him a long way!

[jhartist123]

God love the deep south. Kevin Skinners just a good ole country boy with a big tallent!

[jhartist123]

We do speak like that in the deep south. Some people who deal with the public learn to speak a little more proffesionaly. But when their with family and friend they speak normally. I have trouble sometimes understanding people up north. They don't always prnounce words the way their written.

[MEBCBCBCME]

Great Music by Kevin Skinner. His New CD is available for order on:

kevinskinnertheofficialsite Previews are there to listen to as well!

[aslc175]

I love this guy, he is quiet and humble and whilst he appears to be good ol' country, I think he is a smart guy in a quiet way, reading his bio it looks as though his parents raised him well.

[petal202]

I personally dont like country style.

However, I do have to say to the haters, that neither Nervana's Kirt Cobain nor on the other spectrum does Willy Nelson nor Chris Christopherson have a professional singing style. Its comes down to not how theres voices sound but what they make you fell when they sing.

Okay (yes sappy) but really true.

[Gu1tar]

@petal202 can you learn to type English please

[91101z]

Considering the fact that he has no formal or professional training, he sings passionately and emotionally... he sing from within his heart!!! That makes him as the winner!!! Kevin is indeed an awesome singer/performer... !!! Is he having a musical career today??? Hope so!!! Thanks for sharing this!!! Rabbitman333

[91101z]

An all the way 5stars for me... he is so unique... Not a good though but as the contest goes through, he became better and better and became the best!!! He's got a voice anyway as a good singer...  I even almost cried when he won... He deserves it, ... All the best from Mr Kevin Skinner!!! WOW WOW An awesome singer/performer!!!

[Weisenheimer78]

His audition made me love him, but this one was done better by Willie.

[ziuloO]

my85cami koment for this guy

[pauljadecas]

i want kevin to write his song and sing throughout america, made me album. you give inspirations to me..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frmndad]

If you are doubting his ability, then step up to the microphone and sing your sickly dad`s favorite song and see how you sound. With today`s digital this and mp3 that, you lose the true feelings that should be in music but, have unfortunately have gone by the wayside over the past couple of decades.

[sfvFVSDify]

At least he can sing better than you

[ziuloO]

why bycouse he dont look like f***n Justin?or somone else from american puppet? this is music not that shit listen form britney or N'Sync music for children's

[MrsMcintyre13]

oh goodness. i'm glad he won. he has so much emotion and he's just a good hearted guy n cares bout everyone. its nice to see tht :) he's got a good voice too

[swimboy778]

america is finally going back to its roots. it was americas got talent and he is a true good ole american

[pavanvullii]

well said.....

[auntbecky]

@swimboy778 You gotta remember, not every american is like kevin or where he comes from. It's all good in this country. That's what makes it so great. It never really left it roots.

[lorainedelaney]

Just getting this on tv in Ireland now and Kevin owns us! Sshh, don't tell us who wins;). We love Barbara too, she's beautiful.

[Achtelnote]

the same shit here in germany.not the best talent wins,the most pitiful guy wins.forget this show.

[blueicychill]

I know a lot of people want to hear some of Kevin's original songs, but I really hope this one is on his first album. It's so beautiful.

[star0780]

the reason he made it is because hes good enough to take a little vocal training and he deserved it, he deserved a break.

[HELLAhandsomeKRiiS]

i agree....he deserved a break and im so glad he got it

[mirit141]

i just don't get it.

he's ok i guess, nice voice... but not amazing.

it doesn't make me say "WOW!" like most of the talents in this show... i never thought he would pass the 1st audition

[spinbreaker619]

listen 2 his first song.. then say that again.. ha and if u listen 2 country thats kinda the voice they use..

[jwdundon]

Kevin Skinner is a REAL LIFE Rocky Balboa (back in 1975)!!!! Heart, Soul & Tallent...

Can't wait to hear his voice coming over the radio, in my 65 mustang or F150 ...

[Cenafan127]

when i saw piers standing, i knew he wud eventually win

[Idreamthedream]

so why didn't all the guys at the local bar come to audition for the show? life gives you many opportunities, the brave ones seize them and that's why this one guy made it all the way...he deserved to win because of his voice but mainly for his heart.

[bking4224]

Great story, but seriously, this guy is no better than the guy at any local bar...sorry...that's my opinion!

[Grcar57]

it's not all about hes ability to sing..but his ability to move people.hes not SUPERB singer but you cant say hes bad either.hes singing with heart and that's why he won.if youre not moved by the way he sings, then you dont have properly developed emotions.we are calling them stars with a reason.they make us hapier..and for that..they dont need to sing PRFECTLY.

[mirit141]

but it's "America's got talent", not "America's got heart".

[Grcar57]

you dont get it =) he has talent to make others heart's happy...

[vampireClutch]

@mirit141 but still America's got heart :)

[dirkadirkabro]

agreed friend. he's good. but there are many, many that are

[xuanlane]

I'm glad that a country singer wins this time. He looks so humble and his voice is strong and good. He's a real artist.

[Rachel2786]

Love him to death... Brought tears to my eyes with each song... Except the last, but I still love him! Use all my votes on him each time! Def. Have to go to Vegas to see him!

[mkl62]

As of September 6, this episode of AGT was the top rated show on network television (NBC).

[inuyasha790254]

i love his voice..i'm just a little disappointed with his last act that he didn't sung a country song which is his forte..but i like him still..

[showmestater]

What an incredible story!!! Kevin is keeping the American dream alive, and that's what it's all about.

[helkat11]

hes funny :D

[meramonica]

Why everybody use any excuse for to enter in the conversations the topics like racist? What happened? Kevin is from here, Barbara Padilla looks like latin, and what? Both of them have a lot of talent. I liked more Kevin, I feld than he has more heart, but that not means than I am racist. In fact, I am latin also. Focus in the importants things. This world is so small!!!!

[ClogginCutie]

I think he'll do awesome in Vegas, but I think Nashville is calling his name. But, you never know what might happen. I just hope he keeps his head on straight and keeps God first! I've been cheering for him since his very first audition and I love to hear him sing. GIT 'R DONE, KEVIN!!! :)

[bleach13151719]

he doesnt have a very good voice not very good the others were better but he had something that others didnt or they had but his was better he sang from his heart and the way he sings makes ppl like say aww and stuff thats his talent singing from the heart and his status and story was good that also helped him

[lindavasco1]

This comment is for georgeisupset, you redneck pig. These shows are to showcase talent, not to give racists a platform. Do the world a favor and disappear you loser.

[georgeisupset]

The host actually laughed at Kevin's appearance, and the way he talked. Isn't that being racist?Judging someone before you know them? So the host is the biggest racist of all. Kinda ironic isn't it.

[georgeisupset]

Funny how the coon made fun of him, then after everyone else showed praise, the host loved kevin... what's the matter? A black diddn't win?

[reddevils508]

How dare you use that term to describe the host or any black person you racist ass.

[georgeisupset]

As a matter of fact, the host was laughing at Kevin's accent, and his looks.....

Judging someone by their appearance, or the way they talk,isn't that racism??

So actually the host is the biggest racist of all.

[reddevils508]

YOU used the term "Coon" to describe him. He was poking fun at Kevin, and yes maybe it was not nice for him to do. But he didn't refer to him as a "redneck" a "honky" or "white trash"

The host was trying, in a way to show that appearances can be deceiving and how far Kevin had come. So no, the host was not the biggest racist of all

[CherT808]

Kevin sings and performs from the heart! ANYbody can sing, but not anybody can sing with such heart and emotion, AND delivers his passion through his music and song to his audience! You gotta have compassion to know and feel this, or it's just another somebody to you.

Way to go Kevin! Jesus loves you and we do too! =)

[cowsfromspace]

Whats good about him is that you don't even have to like country to like him, he is just such a good musician.

[sweet5red]

kevin has an old style country voice.. after vegas he needs to move to nashville if he doesnt get a country label out of vegas.. padilla was awesome and she will get picked up by a label or an opera company... sweet N Louisiana

[Tigerl86]

really America? I mean yea he has a sad story and what not and he does seem like a cool guy but honestly? This is what you think is worth a million dollars? You can go to ANY bar and hear that seriously, I just cannot believe we actually think he's worth a million dollars with his talent, REMEMBER THIS IS "AMERICAS GOT TALENT", NOT "THE PERSON WITH THE SADEST STORY WHO ISNT THAT GREATLY TALENTED BUT WHO CARES CAUSE WE SHOULD ALL FEEL SORRY FOR THEM"!

[amuskindu]

If it was about the saddest story, then Padilla or Voices of Glory would have won.

[taken4life26]

yea he is worth a million dollars! do u not know what this show was made for...and as to the sympathy vote..thats what voices of glory got! because of their mother being in a very awful accident they went farther than i think they should have! kevin deserves this! do u listen to country?

[farmersdaughter14]

The thing I love about him is that he is such a real person. and a GREAT singer. :) All us at mayfield love ya!

[nailasyverson]

kevin, my brazilian heart is with you. I am jumping up and down from happiness. U deserve it ! congratulations. naila.

[greeneyeslinz]

go ky boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  we love u

[motherjj]

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 VOTE, VOTE, VOTE: KEVIN, know that we love you and your music and will support you as you continue in the music business. I know that you have a GREAT future and I can hardly wait for your CD's.

Jean Johnson, Las Vegas

[hnycreek]

by the way, he's not off key! He is one of those true country singers! I'm not a fan of country but HE IS GREAT!

[hnycreek]

Kevin you remind me of one of those people that stands out from the crowd. you have a little "Wille Nelson" in you. I WILL vote for you to win!

[Glitterwings1954]

Kevin, you are so sweet... Love your voice... Love your emotion that you put in all your songs... Hope you win!!! God Bless you and all your loved ones...

[paulfalvo]

I dont think Kevin sings off key. Thats his style and the way he sings.

[lhtiller824]

MY VOTE'S FOR KEV! He deserves this more than anyone! What a singer with variety, also. Best wishes to him and his father! I'm sure the word proud couldn't begin to describe his father's feelings! TOUCHE' to all those who were laughing in the beginning! VOTE 9/14! KEVINNNNN

[midgedanny1]

Kevin is the best by far for a non professional . Barbara is a professional and should not be in here. Compare her to Faryl Smith on BGT last year singing Ave Maria and Faryl is WAYYYYY better..

[wildgrasse]

Kevin's singing again on monday 9/14 not tuesday like usual so mark it on your calendar and get everything ready if you want Kevin to win you have no choice but to vote for him

VOTE FOR KEVIN SKINNER EVERYONE!

thanks for your support

[Jaicoop1]

test for posting comments

[sawsharee]

I hope Kevin Skinner wins it all but they need to let him go back to just the guitar and his voice for the finals - no background music. Let Kevin sing from his heart with just him, his guitar and the audience.

[88Seville]

This was his worst performance. I don't like country music, but he is really entertaining to watch, but I could have done without this one. Sorry Kevin, I do hope you win though.

[miamimagicians]

Kevins voice is not that great, he sings off key. Admit it.

[skyboy1956]

He's in the finals and you're not. Admit it.

[fullcontactfighter88]

he is covering a willie nelson song. Almost all of willie's songs are sung in a style that is pretty much off key.

[carlsweisthal]

He was Fu*king Awsome............ 62years young here , he i think that he was GREAT... He got my 30 vote's ...land line , cell ph and internet.........

[raythespian]

This was the strongest his voice has been. And he demonstrated something new...that he's ready to stand up and entertain. I think I would have liked it better with just his guitar.

[obsessong]

Kevin's heartfelt singing always puts tears in my eyes.

[1947jodie]

I hope he wins...He is so pure and brings out emotions in everyone...Thank you for posting...
