- I can't stop listening to this guy. I would love to see him go all the way. This is what this show should be about ... finding talent in places nobody else would notice. Kevin shows you don't have to be educated or rich to be someone special and admired.

AS A BLACK MAN BORN IN AMERICA, KEVIN SKINNER YOU GOT IT KEEP IT UP, LOVE YOU MY BROTHER
Wat heeft dat met jouw huidskleur te maken .Je bent een man geboren in de USA en anders niet , beetje raar wat je zegt
This guy is a perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover
His "cover" is just fine and normal in 2023!
@@d.j.7069 Yes, they want to be snide about his appearance and speech and then pretend to be surprised he has a great voice.
Not everybody could become a judge.
It was a joke. Relax..
Of course, everyone judges a book by it's cover. It's a fact of life.
My emotions are working overtime.
Very rare when you get somebody who sings a song that is better than the original artist.
Outstanding. Not only talented, but he is humble, genuine, and Kevin sang from the heart. That was very moving.
Yes
Exactly what mankind is missing, a decent human being and what a voice.
He is a sinner just like the rest of us.
I was dozing off, after a hard day's work. Without looking, I just said he's going to win. My wife was crying and he won. My heart goes out to you, brother!
I have watched this video clip many times and everytime I shed a tear. A humble gentleman with a voice like no other.
Such a great singer,who is laughing now...He is the real deal.❤️✝️💜☮️
Smiles, hello Pam 🌺 😊
He won!
When you're humble it doesn't matter what other people think of you even if they laugh at you, you will always stand out.....
Could not have said it better❤
I still love this video after 3 years.....he just sings it from the heart...an honest performance...:)
So do I. Now it's April 2023.
I’m listening to this in 2023, and I watched the original audition!
Well said.
As I was listening to him again I just notice it’s only him playing his guitar.
Thanks
Kevin's voice gives this song a depth and emotion that even the original could not, despite being a classic. His humility touches the heart even more.
How are you doing today! I hope it been a beautiful day today,?
When Kevin Skinner performs, he doesn't fool around, he goes straight for the heart. Wonderful performance Kevin.
The best and most sincere person I have ever heard perform! Amazing
Wow❤😢
Great singer and guitarist
He's really good.Plus it one of my favorite Garth Brooks.G
Omg what a beautiful voice!
Good delivery from the heart
WOW! I hope he is doing well today.
I listen to Kevin's audition often, every day. There's so much more to witness here than him merely singing a tender song, while playing his guitar. He stood on stage, his humble self, until the moment he walked off. Even his goodbye wave to the audience is that of a humble, grateful man. No pretending he was someone or something else. His smile, the kindness in his eyes, in his voice, in his heart, all reflecting his gentle nature. True to his character, he sang a song about a man worrying about his loved one, if he were to die. Some laughed or snickered at him...at first. But the entire audience went dead silent when he sang; and then stood, cheered and applauded him when he finished. He was the winner of the Season finale....as well as of the heart of those who watched and listened to the simple message Kevin, unknowingly, shared with all of us. The expression on people's faces at the end says it all.
❤ his voice. Shame on people laughing at his job.
I was thinking the very same thing and I have commented about it before. Yes, Piers and Sharon should have been very embarrassed by how they acted towards him at the beginning. I have seen guys catching chickens, just like he was talking about and it's not an easy job. That's why I don't care so much for a lot of the "rich folks". They laugh at the "working" class folks and then show their stupidity by questions/comments such as was on here. I think David was not doing that when he asked how many chickens were caught, but was just interested in knowing. Folks like this have no clue as to what goes on in the real world, of the hard workers that actually keep this country going from day to day, if the sorry government doesn't get in the way!
@@stevecarmichael7000 There is a lot of truth in this comment because I can confirm it.
@@longrider241 Thank you, Longrider!!! I've watched this video many times and it makes me angry each time, to see them snicker and make fun of him. Kevin's performance was absolutely beautiful and could not have been done any better! I love genuine people, like him. And again, I have been in the chicken houses at night and watch them catching the chickens, 4 in each hand, just as he stated. They used red lights in the houses to keep the chickens calm so they could catch them. sadly, so many people go through and complete their life without ever knowing what goes on the real everyday world!
One of the best performances of all time.
I keep coming back to this. 😊
TRUE!
It’s a shame these judges take on the impressions they do when people come out and make staunch remarks, snicker and laugh at them, until they sing or perform then they realize what talents lies underneath. He was very touching and honest to listen to and he deserved a round of applause🙏🙏🌻
Smiles, hi Janet 🌺 😊
Sweet man…..Sweet!!!
It's all a game. Planned. Staged for entertainment.
This person was absolutely Amazing. I hope a record producer signs this man to a record deal. Because he deserves it. ❤
He won, and they did.
If they haven't learned yet, everyone has value and some more than others when you just open the book and look inside. This is a professional quality musician.
My mother always told her children to never judge a book by its cover.
Sad that everyone laughing at his job. Don't judge a book by his cover people did the same thing to Suzanne boyal they are both great artist pay the love forward be kind to people
Susan Boyle
I have no idea why anyone thinks that someone's looks, job, accent, intelligence has to do with singing talent. As for his accent, some of the smartest people I've had the privilege to work with have thick Arkansas accent. Many would just brush them off as being "hicks." They would be entirely wrong. This man sings beautifully.
Susan Boyle
That guys like Hank Williams he can singing Break Your Heart
They are not so much laughing at his job, more like it's a funny way to make one's living, and no one had heard you could have this as your profession!
Kevin is a classic example that real talent can't be judged by appearance
Everyone is judged by their appearance because you just did by what you pointed out.
@@alicewonderland8706 Yes unfortunately you are correct Simon Cowell did it with Susan Boyle,
Johnathon & Charlotte, Paddy & Nico to mention a few. and passes scathing remarks to other judges as they arrive on stage and after an astonishing performance he is as sweet as honey to the contestants
He made me download this song. I don't do country but starting to now and he was great
Yeah man country not this new crap old country is from the sweat blood n tears of heartbreak n struggles! I hope you do some old country research it’s RICH!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful, so natural and effortless ❤ 🇬🇧
Congratulations Kevin,Congratulations, Kevin,God Bless You Always,.Good man,.
One Word INCREDIBLE !!!👍
Kevin Skinner you have done what in one song that most don't accomplish in a lot of songs you have in one song expressed the humanity that shows what makes you a good person that has grasped reality you Sir deserve the best of what life has to offer
A perfect slap in the face of judges....what a sublime performance
❤Thank_You for being a Great Human being in Today's Messed up World ❤ I live in New Zealand. Thank You for Singing
I remember watching this live don't judge a book by its cover !
Just love this, watched many many times , lost count😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God Bless him and pray he has much success in life!!
He's awesome 😎
All great souls are unassuming. He perfectly fits in. unassuming.
I believe that came from his heart
He did such a beautiful job. This song always makes me cry 😢❤
A song from someone's heart can touch yours ❤
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Cathie, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊

😘🌺💐🌺💐💋💖🍺😘
I could listen to his voice all day. It is soothing to my soul
The older I get ,the more I hear the meaning of a song.This one always moved me and he sang from the heart.
He sang from his heart and it showed…he’s got talent for sure. A real man up there doing his best. Hope he’s doing okay 👍
Amazingly beautiful voice and big heart. I still love to hear his voice. Where is he now.
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Theresa, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
@@georgemelvin588 Good. Thanks for asking.
@@theresathuo7381 you're welcome. It's really nice hearing from you, where are you chatting from?
Amazing voice and guitar player
Wonderful voice and song. He was a total suprise. Loved it,.
This man has real heart, great performance.
Tears roll down my face .....really touching performance.
Smiles, hi Maggie 🌺 😊
I'm Crying after all this time. This Performance was Awesome. Glad you brought it back.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Yeah well how are you doing today Katherine
Don't know what these folks were laughing about. Chicken catchers are hard working people. They travel to chicken farms and catch the ones ready to be harvested. They quite literally catch thousands and thousands in a day. I know this to be true because I know a chicken farmer. These people help put the food on your table! I am sure God loves them whether they can sing or not!
I have done it yes 4 birds in each hand one slide your arms back and be ready to slide it with arm and hands heading forward again for the last and final bird hard heavy work kills your shoulders and back
Not only that, but Kevin stated what he did for a living in a matter-of-fact way. No shame. Nor should there be. He comes across as genuine as one can be. Quite obviously, this man wears his heart on his sleeve. He also played his guitar quite well.
At least he's got a job and working
Just beautiful, lovely, wonderful.... Great job!!!! Give him a record deal!!!!!!! ❤❤❤😌😌😌... 🌹🌹🌹🌹.....
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Cynthia, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
He brought me to tears. What a nice voice and person. Thanks for sharing.🙏🏽😊
Guitar playing is awesome - and his voice kicks arse - he kicked everyones pre conceptions out of the ball park - brilliant !!!
These are words we hope our loved ones know if we didn't get the chance to say them.🌹
❤
@@dennisward2571 🌹
Silence start when they here an emotional and legit talent from a genuine man.
Go head on Kevin with your bad self. He sings from the heart and soul you can feel the emotions from within. I don't know why people were laughing growup! He brings you into the song. Amazing!!!
Hairs standing up on my arms, tears in my eyes - WHAT a performance!!!!
Incredible vocals, but let's acknowledge the impeccable guitar playing.
Sung from the heart, goes to show a book is not just the cover it’s the pages in between, could see this touched Piers
Touched my heart 😢
Country music is a lyrical short story where the performer, the song, and the emotion can either wonderfully carry you along on the brief journey and have you tapping your feet, smiling, or giving thanks for some of the gifts in life we sometimes take for granted. Kevin Skinner's performance is a nice reminder of that.
3 cords and the truth 😊
No body mentions how beautifully he plays that guitar
When he started playing so gently n beautiful ...I just new it was going to be beautiful too
I did!
Me too
Just watch this all the time on my I phone, pure American 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He WON the Million dollars and Las Vegas SHOW ALL by HIMSELF
Love you Kevin Skinner...you have an awesome voice..
I never liked Pierce Morgan pompous ass
He’s fantastic don’t you just love the way people that judge on a persons appearance ? He’s a very lovely and genuine person He did a great job
Smiles, hello Dianne 🌺 😊
Kevin never gave up on his dream. He is a great example of dreaming big no matter how hard it may be! Good luck everyone dream big !
It’s been 14 years since I first heard this man lovely voice
Where is he
Watching From Lagos Nigeria For The First Time Ever. Waoooo What A Voice. Am Teary Eyes Already. God Damn And Am 51yr Old Man(Can You Imagine That 😂😂). Hope He's Doing Great In The Country Music World.
Kevin Skinner is a beautiful person with a beautiful voice
That was a beautiful song...he was confident, in his own world. He didn't care what the audience thought of him, he just wanted to enjoy himself and share his talent with everyone. And I love that song...good luck Kevin💪💪
Smiles, absolutely beautiful Rita, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
The cover of the book was judged, an what came out of that book was a Love Story that had people in the palm of his hand
I love what u said and totally agree with u you said it so eloquently and so true
He's a legend 🎉🎉in every way God Bless you my Bro!!!
I wish Kevin was still performing, he has an exceptional talent
I’m writing this as I’m grieving about my wonderful husband, Jerry. We were married 50 years shortly before he died. This song means soo much to me. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job. ❤
Hello 👋 I'm so sorry for your loss, How are you doing today! I hope it been a beautiful day today?
So you know he wants you to be strong, and know love never dies Your job is to find happiness alone, with memories to guide your way.
@@dylannaenzo9737 You're right, how are you doing?
Thank you all so much for your concern. I’m doing ok.
@@BlueDahlia006 You're welcome 🤗 it's good to know you're doing Ok, where are you from?
Shows that everyone deserve much love and also capable to love much regardless of how people judge you from your looks. Simply Great.
You can tell how good this guy is by listening to the audience whilst he is playing. you could of heard a pin drop.
The audience were spellbound!
They were in shock😅😅
As all of the watchers including me back in 2008😂😂
Kevin is real! One of the good ones! If you all were this good, nothing else matters!❤❤❤
Never judge a book by its cover,sung from the heart,an emotional performance 1❤1
You sound like a bot.
Love this song and he sings it beautifully
Yes you are right Judith , have you listen to Don Williams?
That was one of the most emotional powerful and Authentic Auditions I have ever seen by a very humble genuine guy. and I wish Kevin all the best for his future
Sharp Kev. Well done for not taking the clowns seriously. You such a humble man ,God bless SA 🇿🇦
The love of his life must truly appreciate him , and love him . That was amazingly awesome . He has a rich country voice that connects to us all . All that love and appreciate it .
This .ol..boy..is. Country... As. .it.. GITS. ..YEP.
Don't know why I got tears in my eyes. As a farm boy myself, I feel what Kevin feels. God bless him!
Every time I watch this great performance I become emotional. It really can’t get much better than this!
A song from someone's heart can truly touch yours.❤
Hats Off ur Country Artist, Man Great Voice, & Performance 🌺💐👍🍺
Brilliant performance of a great song!!
When you see the dumbfounded and stunned looks on the audiences' faces, you know you just put out a masterpiece performance where you took your listeners on a blissful, but sad, journey into their heart and soul with those powerful lyrics........and brought us ever so elegantly into your musical realm, so I just want to say, 'thank you' for that!! This was truly special!!
Yes, Brian. It was truly special. I couldn't have expressed it better.
amazing- loved what kevin did- tony- great job brother
You know there are people who can lift you up with the way they sang
@@babypittie973 Hello Baby Pittie, yes, I absolutely agree! I have seen and heard plenty of performers who can elicit massive amounts of emotion and intensity in the way they perform! I simply commented on Kevin's specific performance here!
Beautiful song.
Beautifully performed.
Brilliant song and singer ❤
Great personality and even a greater voice. Loved your performance.
one of my fav of all bgt and agt auditions, come back time after time, what a voice, "never judge a book by the cover" apply's here
This is the best cover for this song I have heard. I am a Garth Brooks fan. Awesome job !!! The Mrs.
He sang this WAY better than Garth could even dream of
@@leslieclark9285 Maybe not way better. But, he did sing it well, as I type these words, looking through teary eyes.
Absolutely fabulous
Man he's cool, god bless him ❤
He is perfect!!
the best ~ emotion too much to contain. FANTASTIC touch, humble presentation, total understatement of inherint talent.
Just great…👊🔥
Superb performances, lovely voice, just simply the best.
This guy is awesome. Man you nailed it perfectly. Yeah don't judge a book by its cover..💪✊
You just judged the book by it's cover. Hypocrite. 😀
I first heard this audition a week ago and I've come back to it every day. Kevin is not just a great musician, he is a great guy. He sings from the heart!
Wake up people don't judge people !!!! GOD FORGIVE YOU !!!!!
It's not about what you look like or what you do for a living. It's who you are inside that counts. And as Sharon said, he is a lovely person, with a fantastic voice I may add.
Sharon laughed at him when she first saw him. Made me so angry.
My grandmother always taught me we are all talented in some way and Never judge a book by its cover because no one is more better or less than you life is what you make it my gran was a wonderful woman and I miss her every day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
sounds like a wise woman...may grandmother r.i.p.
Well done, so many can not play a musical instrument and sing!
He did both excellently.
One of the greatest performances I have had the pleasure to watch. I researched further. So great and at the same time so sad. God bless you and keep you. May the world hear your voice again. Mervyn Nel Author.
