  • What a gentle voice , he gave me chilllllls !

  • i hate country but this guy is good

  • he is simply awesome

  • 168 Chickens Disliked this Video

  • this is the perfect example of "DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER"..one of the best performances i've ever seen...i support you man!!

  • Don't judge a book by it's cover! This is amazing! You go Landau :) Love from PUWERTO RICO LELYS

  • nice sing

  • touches my heart everytime! the last song my grandpa ever sung to me before he died!

  • toda vez q assisto a esse video, me emociono!!! isso prova q a verdadeira voz, nao precisa de ter dinheiro, roupas caras, um rosto bonito, isso esta dentro da gente ,nao se substitui e ninguem pode roubar!!!

  • great singing, stupid people

  • Never fails to get me teary eyed every time I watch thus performance! Just BEAUTIFUL :')

  • Too bad that Americans are so distanced from the factory farming that produces all our food that everyone laughs when he says he is a chicken catcher - no one even knows what that is.

  • @Randi5674

    you're right. ignorance rules.  although we shouldn't hold it against him. guy's got to work.

  • AMAZING

  • I love how everyone was laughing at him, but he silenced the entire room with his beautiful performance. <3

  • hasselhof getting emotional

  • I usually don't like listening to country music, but this guy's performance moved me.

  • That's country music. Three notes and the truth. He was fantastic. I'm a fan.

  • Everyone that was laughing can go catch 60,000 chickens for Kevin now..."It took years of trying you know? Amen it came all together" Love it!

  • Powerful performance! Will start To listen to country music from now on.. lyrics are so pure

  • now this is why i love country music!

    such beautiful lyrics!

    masterful

  • He was a Cheekin chetchrrr

  • ahaha the audience seems so suprised and moved that they'yre quiet throughout the entire performances. I love it, normally they start clapping the second the performer starts to sing....

  • Never been so moved by something so genuine & pure.

    You got a fan in Mumbai, India Kevin!

  • I see jesus there..?

  • Of all the nerve! SHARON is laughing at his ACCENT??? ? WTF??? Has she ever heard her husband speak? Can't understand a damn word he says "Shawoon.. mmmmbbbfffppp!" What the hell is that???

  • @libbyrock123 man,,, so very true xD

  • haha kevin skinner

  • They laugh at him for making an honest living like all of them started off rich. Sharon married a rock star. If she hadn't she would still be a fat, ugly wrtech!! WTF?? They all started from the bottom! What's funny about him working a real job?

  • @libbyrock123 That's exactly what I thought. I sat here trying to figure out what was so hilarious. Without men who work jobs like he works, people wouldn't have chicken on their plates or in their bellies. Nobody is grateful for anything, anymore. It's all an entitlement mentality, nowadays. So sad.

  • Still on جميل

  • i had to watch this 3 times. this is very chilling how good he performed the song. the crowd went from laughter and chants to dead silence. Your damn good if you can do that.

  • Hollywood make a movie about this Guy :)

  • @ThreePieceSuit05 I'm from the country way down South hun, I know how it is. I can step outside and see stars at night, I know my closest neighbours name and his girlfriend walks with me. Driving the kids to school, all you see for miles are cotton, soy, and corn fields. I also went to the top school in the state. Point is, I know exactly what he meant. I just like that he shut them up so quickly. ;)

  • chickens :)

  • i can't stop my tears.. :'(

    Dont judge the book by its cover.. right?

  • Lol, he shut them up. Just cause someone talks slow don't mean they are!

  • @ShadowAngel116 It's like he said. Things move a bit slower out in the country. What's the point of speaking quickly if you're going to get your point across nevertheless?

  • If Tomorrow Never Comes By Garth Brooks

  • @autman123 whenever I need inspiration, whenever I want to search innocence and tears in my soul, I come back to this song. Thank you for saving this video

  • what is the song's name???

    

  • Almost makes you hate people

  • @mako1ism

    Almost?

  • It's amazing to see people laugh at him for his accent, because everyone knows that all the while they're assuming he's an uneducated intolerant redneck, while they're actually being the ones that are judgin him, on the way he looks and talks.

    Oh how I love irony.

  • like if your still watching this in 2012

  • amazing...! thnx for uploading this video...

  • @alexierussel You are very welcome !

  • I want his baby boy! lol

  • The amazing thing I like from the first time I saw this video is not just his amazing voice but his guitar playing is amazing to play like that and sing at the same time he is amazing we need more people like him in the world.

  • Who is the brunette with the white top in this video at the 3:14 mark? i have always thought she is very cute and wanted to know if anyone knew her name

  • @Maxmouse5601 freak!

  • I thank God every day that I was able to save this video from being deleted from YouTube by NBC.

    If they only new how many hearts Kevin has touched I think they would have never deleted all the videos from that years show of Americas Got Talent, especially this one !

    Even though Kevin and I have never met we have a bond through this video that we will both cherish for the rest of our lives !

  • @autman123 well said

  • Damnit I can't stop watching this I love how he is true to himself and doesn't care what people think of him very rare to find in people

  • @Dsolley233 yeah, i think slot of people would have left after getting laughed at so much,,, thankfully he didn't so he could bring us this joy :'D

  • Never judge a book by its cover right? Man, Kevin shocked the judges, he shocked the audience, he shocked the world...watched this on TV 3 years ago and it still gives me tears, perfect audition!

  • @aaupaluktuq Honestly I thought the cover wasn't too bad either!!! :)

  • this is one example for America.

  • This is a real man.

  • like if your still watching this in 2012

  • I agree this is extremely moving. I Tivo'd it at the time and played it over and over. Even though he won, I was very sorry to hear his Las Vegas show was not well received. He deserves more success than he's apparently had, as I've heard nothing about him since he won. Pity. I do hope he has a hit record someday. He seems like a nice guy, and is deserving of it.

  • Talented I love how this guy is he doesn't care what people think of him notice how everyone changed when he showed his talent.

  • This is still one of the most beautiful, moving auditions I've ever seen. Love it.

  • i really cried...

  • Kevin has become one of inspirational icon.Whenever I need a boost in my life. I play his first audition song and I am recharged.

  • I still get emotional when I watch this. He's a big inspiration and deserved to win Agt.

  • where is he now? does he have any new songs?

  • Well his voice catched many chickens in the audience. :)

  • The chick @ 2:36 is still hot as hell.

  • Cheecken catchyer

  • Chills.

  • Someone has to catch he chickens you stuff don your face... dumbass audience lol.

    Good lesson taught right here.

  • 1:04

    The face nick cannon pulls.

    1:08

    The face the english dude pulls.

    What gives you the right? Ignorant.

  • that is what them retarded people get they dont have the guts to get up there yet they laugh because he is a country boy but at least he isnt afraid to admit like if you think the same way

  • Kevin , it was great !

  • Just a good ol country boy

  • he has a romantic voice and this is the real classic voice not (beaber boy )

  • omg i remember when we could vote and only had 10 votes per household me n my mom would fight over the phone bc i wanted kevin to wina dn she wanted somone else i ended up getting the phone a bit faster than her tho :P god i cried so hard and this is true inspiration proving that anyone can accomplish anything <3

  • Yes... And i dont even listen to this type of music

  • omg did any1 els tear up and or get goosebumps omg..... p.s i may be from the city but i wouldnt mind a beautyful cowboi

  • that performance was one of the most heart felt that i have ever heard. great job kevin. and congrat's on your win. you truly deserved it!!!!!

  • that performance was one of the most heart felt that i have ever heard. great job kevin. and congrat's on your win. you truly deserved it!!!!!

  • i stood up from my chair and started clapping to the monitor.

  • It was very sad to see how the people laughed at him at the beginning but then at the end were moved by his performance. It's embarrassing and upsetting as a culture/society that we still judge books by their covers. Otherwise, I wish the best for Kevin. I don't really like country music but I must say Mr. Skinner here has got some talent. It's great that he won the whole competition.

  • 167 are chicken catcher who can't sing

  • @witjakzana Now that was funny !

    Thanks for sharing.

  • why dislike this video??

  • @DejaVuSidagambir It's 98% jealousy and 2% chicken lovers !

  • Do not judge book by its cover because you do not know what's in it :)

  • that smile is soo infectious

  • Omg This make me cry

  • Still brings tears to my eyes.

  • If u dnt like this ur a bitch...and a pussy

  • nice song,, nice voice

  • I luv this guy.. very real n funny.. beautiful voice

  • poor guy getting laughed at because he is straight up country :(

  • Kevin is a true American :.)

  • looks like the chickens are chasing him now

    

  • This song always makes me cry...

  • Can't tell if recorded with a toaster... or a frying pan.

  • One of the most emotional performances I have ever seen.. amazing job kevin :)

  • He just catched 60,000 chickens that day.

  • This guy have some balls. Have you ever tried to catch a chicken? Damn it's pretty hard! And singing like that.. wow.. I will never be able to do both things.

  • 1:21 Stupid witch laugh.. WHO'S laughing now biatch?

  • AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME !!!! I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC! THE BEST THING USA HAS TO OFFER!

  • straight from the country deep into the soul.

  • Goes to show just how quick people are to judge him....then he made them sitdown!!!lol

  • I hate the way they descriminate against some of the contestants before they know what their made of.

  • lol omg i love keven and im only 13

  • Gotta laugh my ass off at all those people who talk about "accents", or "ignorance", as if their sh** don't stink...and then have the audacity to phuck-up the American language by using "there" instead of "they're"...as for the use of 'their' in this response...trust me, it's the right usage!

  • i'm sure i'd never hear a better voice !! thumbs up !!

  • kit-chen cat-cher?

  • like if your still watching this in 2011

  • @MrBrendonTube Pshh - 2011 is so last year.

  • @MrBrendonTube Like if your still watching this in 2012 !

  • i just love his accent

  • He's chicken chaser.

  • I like how everyone in the audience was sitting completely still, not saying anything, realizing they were crazy for laughing at him

  • this guy gave me goosebumps.. o_O

  • Could someone please make a video replaying Sharon, Pierce, and Nic's (or however his name is spelt, who cares) reactions, demeaning them as much as they demeaned Kevin?

  • I'm not from the west, but I was born listening to folk, rock and country. I love country even a lot find it disgusting. It's a song that sings 'bout the realities of life. Live on!

  • why do people dislike this?

  • @michaeltje7 It makes people feel special.

  • @michaeltje7 because they are sucks

  • Never read a book by its cover.

  • holy shit hes talking like forest gump :D

  • Just another fine example of people judging a person for the way they look or speak! They basically laughed at everything he said until he started singing!! He shouldn't have given them the time of day!

    Beautiful song sung by a beautiful soul!!! Great job!

  • Too anyone out there who thinks this guy is the most "american" because he's a cowboy, well you're just plain stupid. America isn't full of cowboy and fat people. Hell if anything there's more wannabe gangsters than anything. The only people with that accent are from the far south, not the whole U.S. jeesh, stereotypes are stupid

  • he is simply awesome...the voice that can reach the hearts of every human being....and just so u know...never a judge a book by its cover guys....

  • He has the most touching video ever! And the way he sings right through the audience! *sniff

  • cool....

  • if this didn't make you cry, you have no soul...

  • Fantastic Kevin.You made us proud.We need more singers in your quality.Your first CD will be in my collection.You are a born star.Kentucky mayfield is the place where the most Country singers are born.Just think of lyretta Lynn..She were fantastic too.You sre actualy in her Caliber.Keep it up Buddy.I`m from South Africa, and love Coutry every moment.

  • i wonder why ppl still can unlike this video

  • Vary vary well done

  • I just love how Sharon, after making fun of his accent, can't even bow her spine to tell him how good of a singer he really is. Bullshit.

  • I think he sang the song better than the original. Much more feeling went into it.

  • This for me is the greatest audition in any of the talent shows I'm from Australia. The reason I say this is because not only did he sing the song extremely well but he sang it after everyone was laughing and making fun of him.

    Well done Kevin you deserved to win it congratulations again i still come back even two years later to watch this.

  • This for me was America's Susan Boyle moment....brilliant

  • Is amazing how he stand there and actually smiled when they were all making fun of him. And he makes me cry in the end when he is crying...Congratulations for this moment

  • A rough life gives you tough skin, and allows you to laugh at the ignorant !

    This very simple man taught us all a very valuable lesson.

    I think it is really stupid for anybody to pass judgment on someone else based solely only on the way they look and talk, especially someone they know absolutely nothing about.

    Anyone at anytime can go from rich to poor in a very short time it really doesn't take long at all.

    Before long your working on a chicken farm just like Kevin !

    Not To Funny Now Is It !!

  • @autman123 You're totally right. Respect for him and goodluck from now on

  • @autman123 Just like Susan Boyle... lol. Both are great singers.

  • @autman123

    well said.

  • @autman123 Very wise Words indeed!! Just because thing doesn't fit to what we think it should.. I agree 10,000 % with you just in your own Country how may People who had THE LIFE STYLE!!!! no longer do and can't ever get a job sweeping streets??? so remember always just because some one is different.. don't mean there totally untalented! you rock Kev and you did show the whole world what you can do! well done.

  • @TheWaggaBloke Kevin and I both thank you for your support !

  • @ellenush08 You're tottaly right :( you can say he is such a good person and peoples .. they can be really stupid sometimes :(

  • @ellenush08

    Totally agree .... shame on them who made fun of him. Greetings from Denmark :-)

  • its called America's Got Talent......right

    and i think this guy is the most 'America' than any other participants..

  • I think she's making fun of his accent because...well, to her an American accent is a British accent to us. So imagine a British person with a southern accent.

    I don't know.

  • @FrivolousKnowledge You're implying there's legit reasons to make fun of the way someone's speak in front a more than 10 thousands people just before they perform a in a really stressful situation....?

  • normally i'm hard as a rock but this guy...danm make my eyes in tears.

  • yes is 3:17 where i live and im drunk but hi sing with all his heart i cant do nothing but cry „_„

  • he makes me cry so hard!!! „_„

  • I like this guy because he is real, just being himself unlike alot of scumbags we see all over the damn place

  • I love how they make fun of him and he ends up winning.

  • I dont know why, but his performance is really emotional

  • thats a humble man!!!!

  • Now thats a country boy

  • its nice hove people bully for "apperance" when they dont have half the talent the person has !!!!!

  • stop being holier than thou Piers ,,,,if that shit hit the fan , you'd need a chicken catcher type person to count on

  • @heettreet That depends on whether the chickens survive or not :D

  • Country people are the best

  • It's rather ironic how Sharon was laughing at his accent.

  • Your right I'll bet her and Ozzy never play charades !

    No one could understand them, and I'm not sure they could even understand each other.

    And forget bingo calling for either one of them !!!

  • @autman123 Isn't the thing about charades that you DON'T speak?

  • @n3uro84 You give clues like first word,or sounds like.

    One side talks the other side does not, but getting anyone to understand Ozzy's answers would be a nightmare!!

  • A sincerity unhampered by a world searching for its heroes. This was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

    Thank you Kevin Skinner.

  • i feel like an asshole now, i'm always judging people. i need to quit

  • I'm from Southeast Missouri. Our accents around here probably aren't as southern as his, but the way of life (hunting, fishing, mudding, country music) are pretty similar. I know and love a lot of people like Kevin.

  • @RoseMaddison You're blessed then.

  • Never ever judge a book but it's cover. This man is amazing.

  • Awesome stuff man...

  • Ms osborn did say at the sthart " he sucks" never jugde somwone at the look
