A country boy from Mayfield, Kentucky is the latest surprise of America’s Got Talent. Kentucky perform with a baseball cap and took the stage with his guitar. With a mass of other contestants lining up to juggle, spin, dance, sing and hip-hop their way into the hearts of the judges and America, one of the stand-outs so far this season is Kentucky’s Kevin Skinner.As soon as chicken catcher Kevin Skinner began his cover of a Garth Brooks song, it was clear "America's Got Talent" had found its Susan Boyle.Despite his humble background, this contestant's genuine performance won over the crowd and judges, even getting a standing ovation from the Hoff as Skinner scored his ticket to Las Vegas.
With a guitar in hand and a simple Garth Brooks song, Skinner wowed the audience with his rendition of “If Tomorrow Never Comes”. The heartfelt song was sung smoothly and with feeling that moved the judges. There was no loud music in the background; no big fanfare or fancy outfits - just simple Skinner and his country voice.
Skinner told AGT that he is “Just a good ol’ country boy who likes to hunt and fish…I feel a lot of emotion right now, ya know. After years of trying it’s just all coming together.”
Here is the video of Kevin Skinner's performence:
