To hold his composure after the initial criticism and laughter, is just heartfelt for me. I still listen to his version of this song all the time. I wish him nothing but love.
As a fellow Kentuckian, I've always been very proud of Kevin. They were all laughing at him and didn't take him serious, but when he started singing, you could have heard a pin drop. Never judge a book by its cover.
think kevin doesnt even know how good he realy,is,when i first herd kevin sing i played garth brooks singing the same song right after and without a doubt kevin sounded better, sry garth i always speak the truth
Kevin Skinner's If Tomorrow Never comes by Garth Brooks has been added to my list of all time favorite renditions of one of my all time favorite songs. This guy brought tears to my eyes!
Why did I not discover this before? Can't get enough of this guy. Pray God for his well being so he can entertain the whole world! I have listened to a lot of music in my days (I am 73), but this is truly among the best there is.
I come back and watch this every so often. Not only a beautiful performance of a beautiful song. But also an important reminder to never judge a book by it's cover. His performance is pure, raw emotion from the heart.
Kevin Skinner has apparently disappeared from public life. I respect his desire to leave the show business of Vegas to return to the real life of Kentucky. Happiness is worth more than money.
its good for him that he disappear with a million $ not with nothing, because all famous people did it for the money and the hated the fame after success
There’s a moment in every gig/ performance you play when you know you’ve got the crowd, it’s that tipping point you can hear a pin drop in the room and that moment is very humbling for all involved, the musicians and the audience - great song choice, great acoustic guitarist, great voice control. Delivered and executed perfectly. Massive props for going along with the jokes, he knew all along his capabilities and what a humble man. Played those judges well.
I really admired this guy. He's very humble. The moment he started to sing,i ddint notice that my tears falling down even its my first time to hear this song.
He is a talented artist as he give the song's lyrics a complete meaning. This performance broke the fourth wall for me in such a way that it is registered in my mind so deeply that it cannot be forgotten so easily.
this seriously brought tears to my eyes. I love seeing someone prove a first impression wrong. you never know how talented people can be under rough covers. never ever ever judge a book by its cover
Kevin sings right from the heart...! So powerful, it reaches into the furthest depths of your soul! Kevin, I wish you nothing but the best that life can offer; and may good fortune always be with you and your family!!! Thank you Kevin for that thin slice of heaven!
It's actually not just the superb voice that brought him up (I mean, the voice is really magnificent). But it's also the excellent guitar playing. The way he plays with those notes, he really deserved all the respect he got at the end and none of the judging laughs he got at the beginning.
This is the comment I wanted to see. I wholeheartedly agree. Contrary to what most think it’s very hard to pair a musician with an instrument that really compliments their voice and style, and yes while an acoustic guitar is commonly used in country music, very few artists have a voice that actually RESONATE with the sound of said guitar. Most use it as a background like filler but he used it in equal part with his voice in such a way it was, for lack of a better way to put it, honestly romantic. The sound of his voice and the sound of his guitar meshed absolutely perfectly together
I listen to this all the time and cry every time....its like he is sooo authentic and pure........ god really made a great soul, keep up the good work kev
This song always prick my heart..When I listen to Mr. Skinner, the more it goes thru my heart. He really sings from his heart...plus his life, it added up to how I felt. It is never easy to try living hard when there is no other choice.
I don't understand why they are laughing... he obviously is a hard working man. But as soon as he starts singing they shut it. It shouldn't take talent for someone to be kind and respectful to one another. But he def had the last laugh.
While most other comments are focused on the obvious romanticism of Kevin silencing his detractors, very few notice the lack of apathy. Thank you for your comment.
Because he seemed like such a hick and it’s such an unusual job. I think that part was an act. It takes some brains to interpret and deliver a song like that. Good guitar player too.
“She must face this woorrrrld without meeeee..” His facial expression, he eeks it out. its like hes truly afraid of something happening in his personal life and he feels helpless to stop it. Chokes me up everytime.
I recently had a health scare and in the emergency room a nurse asked me if l wanted life saving measures or not. I paused for a second and this song was running through my mind. True story l heard Kevin’s voice in my head and heart………
WOW, what a beautiful performance. There is a reason why they call it country, and this guy is 100 % country. Before the guy started to sing, Piers Morgan was being a condescending jerk. He had to eat his own hat.
I think I have watched this about 25 times or so. Love seeing people go from disdain, to being emotionally moved, and humbled......Like the Jerry McGuire movie. We live in a cynical world.........
Just saw this for the first time and I have to say I was very impressed by this young man. I followed his all his performances and I'm happy he won. Wonderful Job Kevin Skinner!
This guy fit the song perfectly. Only a country guy, could sang a country song, and he had nailed it so well, that I am touched by the way he sang in his version of this song.
I still believe till date, and after i watched loads of auditions, skinner one was the best ever without any competition, what a voice, what a true, genuine and lovable person
I keep watching over and over. This original video if him. And right after that I always text few ppl in my life that I love them. I'm non religious which don't matter but this is the real stuff.... Simply great
U represent people like me. I dont care if u chicken catcher or toilet cleaner and people laugh at you. That performance itself comes from your heart and GOD knows you are rich beyond dreams and i love that to the core. With you my brother.
This one is better than the orignal, the raspy voice and the guitar playing made it something really heart warming and touching...hmmmn I now include this song to my one of my favorites.
Sending love from the North Pacific islands..... He reminded us of what maters in life... We will not bring our material world and the status we created to the next life.
Kevin é fantástico um homem simples que todos acharam que não se sairia bem riram dele e veja os humilhados serão exaltados e Deus fez esse homem simples e pequeno pra muitos se tornar um gigante e todos o aplaudiram em pé simplesmente emocionante!!! Um homem que chegou com um sonho e se tornou um grande campeão fico sem palavras!!! Isso é show

The world needs more people like Kevin Skinner to make it a better place!
Never judged the book for his cover. He has an amazing voice. I don't get tired to listen his version.😊
I cry every time I hear him sing .Kevin sings from the soul so heartfelt. Genuine loving and humble man
So glad he won
KEVIN FANTASIC. THANK YOU. FROM RSA .👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The way Kevin nodded when he sang the words “she’s my only one” was very sincere.
As a fellow Kentuckian, I've always been very proud of Kevin. They were all laughing at him and didn't take him serious, but when he started singing, you could have heard a pin drop. Never judge a book by its cover.
it is definitely the soul and emotion in his voice that did it.. a REAL country singer!
think kevin doesnt even know how good he realy,is,when i first herd kevin sing i played garth brooks singing the same song right after and without a doubt kevin sounded better, sry garth i always speak the truth
Love how he didn't let the mockery never affected him and shut everyone up beautiful
can watch this forever. love from Scotland.
Kevin Skinner's If Tomorrow Never comes by Garth Brooks has been added to my list of all time favorite renditions of one of my all time favorite songs. This guy brought tears to my eyes!
No one is talking about how good a guitar player he is...until now.
I thought the same....
Crying. This 'good ol' country boy' is a fine singer. The pic is of my late ex husband and me, taken in 1964. Thank you Kevin. I wish you well!
The moment Kevin started to sing, he casted a spell on everyone! And every clap they made was like a slap in their own faces!
The audience was mesmerized, listening to every word and completely silent!
Why did I not discover this before? Can't get enough of this guy. Pray God for his well being so he can entertain the whole world! I have listened to a lot of music in my days (I am 73), but this is truly among the best there is.
Watch iam tongi's audition on American idol. Same gift of cutting through your soul. You will thank me
This young Man showed us all just who he was and his performance was both sincere and very powerful. Congratulations Kevin!
That voice, unbelievable. This man can sing with the best of them. Just brilliant!!!!
I got a strained relationship with my family. This song today makes me change that. Right now! Thank you so much
Such an amazing performance. He seemed so genuine and honest. Rare today
I don't remember, how many times I saw this audition, but always it's like the first time. Just lovely.
That's about a truest country boy as you can get. He seems like a pure and honest great person who don't need no law.
I come back and watch this every so often. Not only a beautiful performance of a beautiful song. But also an important reminder to never judge a book by it's cover. His performance is pure, raw emotion from the heart.
From the man to the song he sang, perfection. A winning performance and even better, a winner of a man. Congrats Kevin.
Tears come to my eyes every time i listen to Kevin sing this song well done Kevin ( from Frank UK )
That love song singin', chicken catchin' country boy has some serious heart. The boy's got the chops!
The best thing about this, is that he actually won the competition!!!!!❤️❤️
Nickolay Wikestad Syversen, He did win? That's awesome!
I'm in the UK and this is the first time I have seen this guy . true imotion this guy is absolutely brilliant well done to him great audition. 😊
I too have just seen this for the first time - on Facebook. He is a lovely talented guy. I hope he really did win.
Sharon looks drunk or stoned.
Leckt mich
Kevin Skinner has apparently disappeared from public life.

Happiness is worth more than money.
Catch Chicken bring happinest!!
its good for him that he disappear with a million $ not with nothing, because all famous people did it for the money and the hated the fame after success
ConnCollector
Monies and frames does not buy you happiness. What a man.
@eddiewinehosen Until you get to the back of that limo enjoy the wiew from the bus, it's the same view. Peace.
@@nirvan7396 That is a great point of view.
Kevin delivered the song so well, each time I hear him sing it , I cry. The song is very true.
There’s a moment in every gig/ performance you play when you know you’ve got the crowd, it’s that tipping point you can hear a pin drop in the room and that moment is very humbling for all involved, the musicians and the audience - great song choice, great acoustic guitarist, great voice control. Delivered and executed perfectly. Massive props for going along with the jokes, he knew all along his capabilities and what a humble man. Played those judges well.
Every now and then I come back to this wonderful performance by Kevin such a humble and talented man.Love how he captures the audience and the judges.
Mr. Kevin Skinner I officialy admit the fact that you are son of a GOD. So he bless you
He sings from his heart and that is what people want to listen too God Bless you for you are a great singer
Watch iam Tongi audition on American idol. Same gift of cutting through the soul. You will thank me
For a couple minutes, not a single person in that audience could breathe. Just perfect
I really admired this guy. He's very humble. The moment he started to sing,i ddint notice that my tears falling down even its my first time to hear this song.
He is a talented artist as he give the song's lyrics a complete meaning. This performance broke the fourth wall for me in such a way that it is registered in my mind so deeply that it cannot be forgotten so easily.
Fb sent me here and first time watching him today what a humble guy God bless you brother and that's why you dont judge a book by its cover.
men, I cry every time I see this video.. he is great!!!!!
Wonderful! Go get 'em Kevin.
Kind regards, from QLD Australia. ❤
this seriously brought tears to my eyes. I love seeing someone prove a first impression wrong. you never know how talented people can be under rough covers. never ever ever judge a book by its cover
i love his version more than the original
+Zachary Huffman never say never
Same...I keep listening to him when I feel like listening to the song instead of the original
True dont judge a book by its cover because he is not a book.jokingly yours
Brought tears to my eyes, too.
Kevin sings right from the heart...! So powerful, it reaches into the furthest depths of your soul! Kevin, I wish you nothing but the best that life can offer; and may good fortune always be with you and your family!!! Thank you Kevin for that thin slice of heaven!
what an amazing voice, big love from Saudi Arabia
I'm in tears! He sang this song with deep feelings! Thank You
Zero to Judges who laughed at him in
The begining ....
100% to Kevin ....brilliant performance
The world would be a much better place if everyone had his outlook and humility
And there was silence... Seen this for the 100th time. Still doesn't fail to amaze me.
Bravo Kevin you have a wonderful voice.
2022 i still watching This.. God damn always make my heart peace..
Still one of my favorite auditions 🖤
It's actually not just the superb voice that brought him up (I mean, the voice is really magnificent). But it's also the excellent guitar playing. The way he plays with those notes, he really deserved all the respect he got at the end and none of the judging laughs he got at the beginning.

Kevin Skinner never fails to make me cry.
I listen to this all the time and cry every time....its like he is sooo authentic and pure........ god really made a great soul, keep up the good work kev
This song always prick my heart..When I listen to Mr. Skinner, the more it goes thru my heart. He really sings from his heart...plus his life, it added up to how I felt. It is never easy to try living hard when there is no other choice.
polly calma he was born to sing
What a sweet preson he is.
He didn't even react when that lady started to laugh in a silly and disrespectful way.
Good hearted person ❤❤❤
I like to see the judges try to catch chickens! Don't think understand how skilled you need to be to do that job. Beautiful voice ❤
And great fingerpicking!
He reinvented this song and give it a life
Speechless.... I can listen to this version over and over and it never gets old.
Pure country..
He has voice of an angel.
Mr Kevin Skinner. You are the man. You moved me and thank you for that
I don't understand why they are laughing... he obviously is a hard working man. But as soon as he starts singing they shut it. It shouldn't take talent for someone to be kind and respectful to one another. But he def had the last laugh.
Dd Norton he not just had the last laugh he made the judges feel stupid
While most other comments are focused on the obvious romanticism of Kevin silencing his detractors, very few notice the lack of apathy. Thank you for your comment.
Because he seemed like such a hick and it’s such an unusual job. I think that part was an act. It takes some brains to interpret and deliver a song like that. Good guitar player too.
I agree completely. Total lack of respect, shame on them!!!!!!
Yes,, how if he can't sing,,?? 😣😣
“She must face this woorrrrld without meeeee..” His facial expression, he eeks it out. its like hes truly afraid of something happening in his personal life and he feels helpless to stop it. Chokes me up everytime.
I recently had a health scare and in the emergency room a nurse asked me if l wanted life saving measures or not. I paused for a second and this song was running through my mind. True story l heard Kevin’s voice in my head and heart………
the best song ever done on any season..
WOW, what a beautiful performance. There is a reason why they call it country, and this guy is 100 % country. Before the guy started to sing, Piers Morgan was being a condescending jerk. He had to eat his own hat.
I hate Piers but at least he ate that hat.
marecku21, Piers ate his own shit
Pierce is Condicending he shouldn't be a judge!
I agree with you Elvis Presley
marecku21 (╥_╥)
I've watched this many times....a shocker to say the least.....notice the audicence, mesmerized, no one moving at all.
He could probably make singing the ABC song sound this good! He absolutely won my heart over. His humble personality is one I wish all of us had.
Sandra Pasillas agree 100%. absolutely brings me to tears! Sharon you bitch!
sandra can you check my covers
I think I have watched this about 25 times or so. Love seeing people go from disdain, to being emotionally moved, and humbled......Like the Jerry McGuire movie. We live in a cynical world.........
The real deal.This guy are welcome in South Africa!!
Just saw this for the first time and I have to say I was very impressed by this young man. I followed his all his performances and I'm happy he won. Wonderful Job Kevin Skinner!
Pure beauty of the talent and big heart!
As a country fan I love that he shocked everyone. Lets stop judging...he is brilliant!
Very moving! I love this young man!
Kevin Skinner still sings this song the best. 2021
Quite honestly the best chicken catcher and the best show catching experience!
This guy fit the song perfectly. Only a country guy, could sang a country song, and he had nailed it so well, that I am touched by the way he sang in his version of this song.
seeing the audience and judge's jaws drop was satisfying....
I still believe till date, and after i watched loads of auditions, skinner one was the best ever without any competition, what a voice, what a true, genuine and lovable person
Still listening at 2024, lesson learn for ourself, dont judge anything about dressing, we need to see the talent
If tomorrow never comes...........LOVED IT>
"Don't judge a book by its cover". Simple!
The moment the first note comes out of his mouth you just know....
Tremendo
Its Cover the judge don't by the book
We all do. That's just how life is unfortunate
AMEN he has passion and sincere.
it leaves you with the feeling how much blessed are you to have witnessed his performance...
Really heart touching performance.... and his way of playing guitar really awesome.....and atlast his respect towards judge and audience..wahh.!!!
I keep watching over and over.
This original video if him.
And right after that I always text few ppl in my life that I love them. I'm non religious which don't matter but this is the real stuff.... Simply great
If tomorrow never comes I'll show you.. you're my only one 😢
U represent people like me. I dont care if u chicken catcher or toilet cleaner and people laugh at you. That performance itself comes from your heart and GOD knows you are rich beyond dreams and i love that to the core. With you my brother.
This one is better than the orignal, the raspy voice and the guitar playing made it something really heart warming and touching...hmmmn I now include this song to my one of my favorites.
joey bautista agreed. Listening to the original that raspy voice is sorely lacking!
joey bautista imagen him singing this to his wife 💝 Mann his wife is lucky. X
That moment when the Humble, Humbles the doubters. Great performance i remember this live.
Good interpretation. This song went right through my heart.
I hate to say it but i might like this version better lol
@@chrissnell2264yup
Just goes to show you that a true talent is finally recognised. Great job Kevin! ♡
A winner all the way he actually played along. Watch the wry smile on his face when he finishes and looks at piers and Sharon
he is above than all the words we can say. his voice put the world silent there. everyone went quiet as its effect were everlasting
There is so much to learn from this
i have been seeing thousands and thousands of songs on youtube and all my life, fuck this song makes me cry so sooooooo much.
Every time I watch this all I can think is. Who's laughing now as every persons heart is melting.
Sending love from the North Pacific islands..... He reminded us of what maters in life... We will not bring our material world and the status we created to the next life.
They laughed and laughed at him until he MELTED that audience. Damn man...im not crying youre crying
I need the whole song!
Sung Beautifully, if every body was as humble as this beatifull soul, what a wonderful world it would be.
Kevin é fantástico um homem simples que todos acharam que não se sairia bem riram dele e veja os humilhados serão exaltados e Deus fez esse homem simples e pequeno pra muitos se tornar um gigante e todos o aplaudiram em pé simplesmente emocionante!!!
