Kevin Skinner 35 Unemployed Farmer in Local News cast

[elkkre1977]

god bless you baby

[toolemaster1]

He's just a good O'boy,who has alot of country,Like Hank Williams,Loretta Lynn.

[itsmonkeyboy]

I met Kevin when he was in Las Vegas He is the real deal nothing fake about him.

As famous Man once said he Yam who he yam Popeye and he is great person

[jhartist123]

Coleyman1, the visual arts are painting,drawing, sculpting. And, please beilive "im not tryingt to toot my own hornwBut I have many awards and see problems in almost all art forms . I like Kevin skinner because he sings actual country no his in

Very small company.

[jhartist123]

Colyman1 I'm a visual artist and yes I believe in craftmanship and seeking perfection even though it is always out of reach. So, if we just desire perfection this would be a very boring world. I don't know what your credintials are but we've got to give in and just enjoy what's there. I love Kevins voice and guitar so for me that's enough.

[coleyman1]

@jhartist123 I'm not sure what a "visual artist" is, but I've been around the music business for about 32 years and I know what I hear and he's not cutting it. This town will not turn a head his way because he is, by Nashville standards, just a little better than average. Nashville doesn't look for perfection, just someone that can make them some money. No one has picked him up as an artist and I doubt they will.

[MEBCBCBCME]

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

kevinskinnertheofficialsite Previews are there to listen to as well!

[coleyman1]

@MEBCBCBCME I heard part of his CD today and it is no different than the real thing. He's a great guy, I'm sure, but he is just not a singer. I think he knows it and would rather be known as a guitar player, at which he is just fair by Nashville standards. His writing is ok at best, but heck who knows, he may just sell a bunch of those things based on the fact that he can catch a chicken!!

[mflow44]

im black and u know ppl think my race just listen to rap i do but when i heard this i cried and im a dude man i agree with

TheBeatlessssss

[REALxDEALxKILLA]

he sux, freakin country hick won the whole thing,ya whatever!!. im a model/talent scout & I know how to pick winners & hes NOT even close to measuring up to the standards of the others im very disappointed.hes just an average,everyday singer nothing special @ all.he deffinately was not the most deserving to win this show,and im completely shocked & surprised that he did OMG!!!!!

[omertia]

@REALxDEALxKILLA why would you be shocked? you know as well as I do that these shows are scripted like any other "reality" show. The unemployed farmer tugs on the heart strings..."the underdog" always makes for good sales..I mean tv. My buddy was a boom mike operator for Canada idol...they have already picked the "ringers" & "clowns" before they even go up to get judged!

Still...I have seen that level of talent at the local pub.

[murraygrrl05]

Get over it.

[LyricsToMyFavSongs]

He gets that million dollars over a 20 year period! Omg!

[burningbuddhist]

i'll take it.

[ryanlmathis]

Yea thats really dumb cuz he only gets like 50,000 a year which isnt even that great

[sledneckfuker]

@LyricsToMyFavSongs 

lets see if you can sing better than him fukin asshole aint got nothing nice to say then just shut your mouth

[TheBeatlessssss]

I am really glad he won. When I watched the first epidode of AGT I was really saddened because a lot of those people laughed at him thinking he couldn't sing. They just basically judged what he did and what he looked like. But when he started singing I loved the expressions on their faces...shocked. I really love his voice and hope he does well :).

[sixinmesa]

YAY YAY YAY!!!! I hadn't seen this....I just love him to pieces!!!! hahahaha never been on an airplane in mhis life??? That's allll about to change Kev baby hahahaha..soooo adorable

[shayshow]

I have mixed emotions about this issue. I feel it was a great win for the under dog but honestly he is not what is typical or expected of this show. I hope he becomes famous but there were others that struggled just as hard that as far as talent goes deserved that particular venue win.

[june62969]

That was so awesome .Your songs touch us.God Bless You

[cmh1959]

I voted for you everytime you were on AGT!

[TriVo011993]

i love his story & he's all right, but i dont think he was THAT good to win AGT, just my opinion

[butaneq017]

God bless you Kevin!!!! you earned it and deserved it more than anyone else

[doodlelady4]

SO Sad people are so jealous of his win!

[undertakrer]

@doodlelady4

fuck them he is well deserve to won an even woeld music awards for next and upcoming johneny cash

[coleyman1]

@undertakre

[katie13442]

CONGRATS KEVIN!!! Im a born and raised Kentucky girl only 13 and I cant wait to listen to Kevin on the radio and tv! GO KEVIN!!!!

[gerryschristine]

He sings with such emotion and I love his voice.

[4061926]

I am proud of him , great job Kevin !!!

[rednecklife1993]

very happy he won the show!

[theatrerat1051]

kevin is soooooo good! im glad he won. im from kentuky 2, so thats cool!

[deeochalek]

graves county is proud!!!!!!!!!!!!  go kevin

[wildgrasse]

congrats Kevin! you really rocked the AGT stage this year! you so deserve it.

keep singing, my best wishes of luck to you in the future

[KnowYourEnemy25]

im so glad he won

[lindapittsburgh]

He deserves the chance to become all he can be...

[tiparker119]

We are real happy for Kevin here in South Carolina....Congratulations...­!!!

[pennylaneproductions]

Kevin reminds me of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer...(so does Susan Boyle)...everyone laughed and made fun...until they found out he was good at something...haven't we grown up yet?

[theann111]

i agree, I knew the minute he walked on stage he was gonna be good. You can just tell.

[pennylaneproductions]

I'm glad you won, Kevin! The song choices after "If Tomorrow Never Comes" were, frankly, all bad and didn't suit you but you did it anyway. Suggestion (This would have killed them on AGT) for your album...Garth Brooks' "How You Ever Gonna Know"...great work , man!

[greenbuttrfly]

Congratulations Kevin. There's something about your voice that just touches my soul.

[rickydxb]

Congrats Kevin!!!

[em1270]

Hurray! Kevin won!

[MrHossCartwright]

I just love this guy. From the very first time I heard him sing I hoped he would win. When Barbara Petilla showed up and sang I thought she might win it over Skinner because she was so amazing. But I'm glad that Kevin Skinner won because not only does he sound great but I think he needed the money more. Besides, I think all the top 10 contestants will still become very successful.

[zxsmith45]

never watch these bs shows just happen to see him he is great he will go far ,very far!!!

[mangakenny]

He was flat in all his performances. Do this test, don't listen to the judge's comments, and listen with your eyes closed. He is flat in every song, has no vibrato and no air.

I think America as a whole doesn't judge the talent on the actual talent, but by back stories. Barbara, Texas Tenors, voices of glory, Lawrence were all better than Kevin from a straight performance point and talent point of view. Kevin got voted the winner the same way Bush was elected the president.

[simplysquid]

Kevin - You made all of us from Kentucky proud!!!!

[dave76112]

America got it right!  Great job Kevin! May God bless you and your family!

[siouxprano]

I voted for him every single show America can vote. I think he's awesome!

[djm9063]

This idiot can't even carry a tune!!! This is so RIGGED!!!

[JewClawClan]

You've commented on every Kevin Skinner video I've seen. Grow up kid, he won. You may not like it, but that sucks for you, get over it.

[babyhook101]

congratulations kevin!

[angmw82]

yayyyy im soooo happy he won...he deserved it!!!!!!!

[greeneyeslinz]

Oh Yeah my KY boy made it! Go Kevin God bless ya

[nascarlova88]

he wonnnnnnn

[member0900]

i live 2 miles from Skinner. his doughter goes to my school =P

[wildgrasse]

Thank God for the net!!!

For me Kevin Skinner is like PORSCHE

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.

btw.Being in US I always imagine and try to kept in my memory that REAL AMERICAN people supposed to be like HIM, not rich & false basterds from big cities...

[dvdmaniacfirst]

You won for me, Kev, You really deserve it, I genuinely don't see any other contender even half good as You to take the Glory and Proud from You...

[gypsy21074]

JUST A REMINDER TO VOTE.

The 2008 AGT winner won by less than one half of one percent. Thats how close it could get.

Kevin is in a very strong, talented group. While I would not watch most of them for 90 minutes, at the end, it will come down to the personal taste and the diligence of the voters.

Do not take Kevins win for granted!

[LAURARIGGS]

[edmanman]

Man Kevin can sing like no country artist I ever heard, Can you imagine if he sings that song from Garth Brooks " The Dance"

Nobody will touch him from there on ,I can't wait til his album comes out I'm buying it !!

[opryman9]

My husband and I love to watch Kevin perform. Kevin has true heart & soul; he is genuine country. Kevin, no matter how far you succeed...never forget where you came from and never change who you are. You are what country music is all about.

[UCSFootballAcademy]

kevin should win this competition.  I would sit and listen to him sing all night long

[shealy430]

my man,,,,good old boy you deserve to win my friend,,as johnny cash would say ..walk the line!~

[gordakokomo]

[cocoacity1]

this guy is wonderful. Hey Kevin....you wanna run away together???

[pacertmh]

love this guy!

[KeePiNKopasetic]

Fuck You "eyevahn!!!" this guy is great. He is Country Music!!!!!!!!

[eyevahn]

"KeePiNKopasetic", fuck yeah he's great! What's so bad about Forrest Gump? He embodies the realization of the American dream in light of all obstacles. Skinner was a chicken catcher, but he is going far - and much like Forrest Gump, he's going far on character and genuine ability. I like Skinner's music very much, I dont see what's ya'lls problems.

I guess comparing ANYBODY to someone with a mental disability HAS to be an insult. Get a life.

[eyevahn]

Reminds me of Forrest Gump.

[KeePiNKopasetic]

fuck you.... forest gump........ you must be old and lonely.

[illegalleopard88]

LMFAO! thats wrong and mean but funny as hell

[DRichard8429]

Hey Kevin! Hope you are reading these comments. I must have listende to your performance 50 - 60 times by now and left any number of messages on these sites. Great performance, simple and pure just what C&W should be, No sparkles, gold chains, 10 gallon hats or designer geans. Win or loose this competition you sure have made a lot of friends ... if you ever visit Ottawa Canada look me up and we'll split a jug of good Canadian beer ...

[lol9999]

this guy really reminds me of forest gump

he's not wealthy and all but he's one pure humble guy

[illegalleopard88]

thats very common...most people that aren't rich are humble and rich people are complete deuchbags

[auntbecky]

don't generalize

[illegalleopard88]

no, i will.

[cocoacity1]

Kevin should win; he is SOOOOO good!

[sharonvtn]

Go git 'um Kevin!! You are a winner in my mind. I'm sure your day has come. Wether you win this contest or not I'm sure you will be contacted by some record comapany and I can't wait to hear your songs. God Bless Sharon V in TN

[handybud11]

[Palady70]

I don't think it was right for people to laugh just because of how people dress and talk. Anyway I just loved his voice and hopefully he will cut some cd's because I will buy them. GO Kevin good luck

[29Angelgirl]

[invain143]

i remember Forest Gump...go Kevin!! from the Philippines here..

[friend2y0u]

What I really like about Kevin is that he seems like the type of person that won't let fame and fortune affect him if he should win. That is the type of person America loves and needs in the spotlight. Good luck Kevin and God bless you and your Grandma. You are what America is all about.

[crystalownsyou]

Kevin has made kentucky proud!

[myksweet]

It's people like Kevin that make America great!

[Zeetana]

Nah, it's people like him who make the WORLD great ;)

I like him, he seems very authentic. He's my favourite to win and I hope you all vote for him (for me).

[Saviola0077]

That was such a powerful performance. ,despite the early ridicule by the audience. Kevin, you have a heart of a champion. Hope you win!! I'm cheering all the way from Toronto, Canada

[njnyri88]

Go Kevin Skinner~

[29Angelgirl]

This man as the biggest heart I have ever seen. I am glad for him. His family must be very proud of him. I know that his grandmother is looking down on him right now very proud of what he has done. You are an amazing man.

[kodwyerr]

A true talent. He needs to win!

[DannyA123]

You've already won, my friend, by touching millions with your story and your voice. Good luck in the AGT competition, Kevin Skinner! My family and I will be rooting for you from our NJ home.

[emailingmike]

Kevin, your song is making me think about a love lost and now found. Someone I loved 25 years ago came into my life and because "tomorrow never comes" I am considering uprooting and moving to a city I would hate. The way you sang that song might have changed my life. Thank you.

[krazyhicchic]

He is the best. When I showed him to my b/f he said damn he is awesome. We want you to win Kevin Skinner. No matter what though I know you will wind up with a recording contract. I cant wait to see more of you.

[onionhead007]

He MUST win im all for him best wishes :D

[JavaManEntertainment]

A man with a huge heart. His voice and talent spreaded out to many its amazing coming from one individual!

[sih1688]

You just put yourself on the America most wanted hit list by agents of all sides. You are being catch, no more unemployement.

[SLDNDASIXTIES]

You go Kevin. I think you are the best. You rock. I am a West Virginian....I love that accent and good ol' Southern drawl.

[Crazyj15692]

He's great, he has gotta win

[onethindime99]

He has an amazing voice and a goodness that wil carry him far.I believe he'll walk away winning this competition.

[jimmymac63]

Even if he doesn't win, he won anyway!

[meladuke]

Everyone loves a good ol' boy with down home spirit, and my votes go to Kevin!

[quilhot]
