Kevin Skinner - How his career started (HD) 

Who’s still watching this in 2024?

2024 and still Kevin's performance still moves me.

2023 and I still come back to this performance almost every year. I've been to prison did 3years came home and still find this to be one of the most emotional and real performances ever from the heart. Hope you are still here with us Kevin and are doing well God bless you brother.

simple people like him...Is what our world needs the most

Who still watching this show in 2021? 🥰 Im still here.

Still watching this in 2023. A genuine guy with a soulful voice.

12 years ago, and he still gives me shivers with this song.

Here we are in June 2023, still watching you Kevin, you have the most beautiful country voice and your rendition of the song at the end of this video was so beautiful and equal to Garth Brooks. Thank you for sharing the gift of your voice with us.....love from England. xx

From laughing stock to standing ovation. Those are the best.

Never judge a book by its cover, or even after a few chapters...you may miss out on an amazing story! Much

When somebody sings with the heart, the song gains emotion. The voice comes from the soul.

i still come back to this whenever i wanna hear something soulful and genuine

Listen to that audience. Speechless.

Never judge a book by its cover. This is the best most emotional rewarding audition I have ever seen.

2024 🫶 still present

2023 his audition is still wonderful to watch!!!! You gi Kev!

This guy seems like he's used to being laughed at and his tears at the end tell me he's not so accustomed to approval and praise. Keep on singing Kevin, you are worth more than you think.

I love people like Kevin. He was a sincere person ..don't hide anything about himself.

June 2022 And still watch again and again ..it may be thousands of times With all passion..thank you Kevin for the feeling..I will always be here

I've watch this one hundred times and when he is done singing and the big applause comes, I smile like if this is the first time I see it! Wow!!!!

i still come here from time to time , i hope you're doing alright Kevin, 2019

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

His accent is so perfectly suited with his singing voice it makes it so much more authentic and rich. Never seen such a powerful performance in my life he is beyond incredible!

7-19-22 & Still watching this, Watched it live on TV, Still Know it was the Best.and He Won the Contest and a Million Dollars. The Real American. Of AGT.

THIS is the version that brings tears to my eyes

What's great is that usually, the crowd starts to cheer when the singing is good. They were quiet, and really hearing his emotion. That's what music is all about!

Watching this again in 2024. Still hits me the same as the first time i watched it

I have no idea how many times I have come back to watch this masterpiece! I've lost count already!

The secret of Kevin success is the purity of his soul and the sincerity of his feelings.... Unfortunately, in our world only deceivers and false appearances are respected... This is the human being..... A big salute to him for his courage... From Algeria...

Before you people lough at someone think twice!!!! Kevin you are the man all respect to you!!!

Years later, I still love how they laugh at him and then look at perfection

Whenever I am down and depressed, I watch this and my eyes get wet and there is a lump in my throat .. pure inspiration .. from India 🇮🇳

2019 September who's watching Kevin Skinner? I was watching this show this was 2009 when Kevin performed this song If Tomorrow Never Comes... at the end this agt show Kevin Skinner was the champion winner... We from mountain provinces of Luzon Philippines 🇵🇭 in Sagada Mountain Province we love country music

"Never judge a book by it's cover" . Kevin Skinner a great country vocalist with amazing tone , awesome musicality and lots , lots of heart ! What an artist !

Continue watching on 2022!!! It is still remains FRESH.

2022 and still watching. Kevin is the most pure. Saw him with my spouse when he was 1st on AGT. Since then my spouse passed away. Kevin's wife left him and what a tragic end bc she apparently never had the love that lasts. I'm sorry for you Kevin, we both lost and both are equally matched bc we can never turn back the hands of time to when we were happy. Kevin I pray I'll live to hear you sing once again!

This guy is awesome. His voice is awesome. Don't ever judge a book by it's covers.

keep it up kevin..let the country songs alive!!!

A beautiful voice and a feeling that touches the depths from within

Watching this in 2023. Still gets me goosebumps!🥹❤️

In all the years of AGT this is still the best performance ever ... Historical performance.. I respect this guy's honesty .. 😘😘

Glad to see him shutting up prejudice and arrogant bunch of people with his singing voice.

I'm just from a far far rural region in mountains of morocco and everytime i'm in a calm area under a big tree near a small waterfall i listen to this great men that still inspires a lot and a lot of people.

I’ve just discovered Kevin Skinner & I’ve already listened to him sing this beautiful song over 20 times.

1:16 that moment....when beauty of the soul starts to surface from inside, like hes all by hemself on the porch playing for the stars, and when everyone else realizes how this man has brighter soul than any one of them :)

Never, ever judge a book by its cover...

Bless him...the tears of a man with a humble soul❤Simply Priceless💯 Amazing!!

It’s funny how they laughed at him but he in the end had the last laugh but not in anger but in being united.. like it should be and without hesitation of an unprecedented moment.. thank you Kevin thank you very much from a hillbilly from the Smokies ..

This was 10 years ago but I still love to watch it! It inspires me and being humble is a very good way of life. Kevin, you are amazing!😘 JLM

I can say with no hesitation that this clip is on my top five singing clips ever on RU-vid! Bravo.

I remember watching this audition years ago ND had goosebumps. Now still watching this talented and humble singer in 2023 ,I still get goosebumps. Awesome ND never get tired of watching the video.

Christmas 2023 just a few weeks away...... this song still gives me tears. Tomorrow never does come..... tell them now.

Covid-19 bring me here.....stay strong, humble and kind even tomorrow never comes.

People laugh about him being a chicken catcher, the majority of them eat those chickens. >:( People are assholes. Holy shit, chills from his voice!

I love how everyone laughed while he was just talking about his actual passed jobs, what a lovely guy and amazing voice.

I sit in my house pretty much every evening and I watch and listen to Keven and never get tired of him he brings tears to my eyes I call the tears happy tears.

all those people love chicken..some body got to do that job..good on you Kiven for being honest and great job singing too.God bless you

I don't even like country but this has always been my favorite Americas got talent audition.

This just remind me off 12 year ago, when I was watching the American X Factor, exactly Kevin's audition performance. I was watching with my brother in-law who pass away last year. Kevin sang with integrated emotional and art and his talent which blended in his simplicity and the power of his voice, led by his guitar and emotional support from audience.

your performance still moved me man after all these years, this is what Country Music is all about Kevin, God bless you!

Very humble and respectful, he got what he deserves by winning.

at first everyone in that room, laughed... and when he started singing , they were speachless....

Who still listening in 2022 This short version of this amazing song put a reminder on hearts of millions of viewers.. DON'T BE SARCASTIC Grace from NEW YORK NY USA GOD BLESS YOU KEVIN 💕💕💕💕💕

Captivating from the moment Kevin started playing his guitar, and even more so when he started singing. A truly sensational performance.

they were laughing (at him?) but 3 seconds into his performance, they were completely silent, applause at the end. God bless you Mr. Skinner

We watched this many years ago and still come back to watch it, Kevin Skinner the Chicken Catcher is an all-time legend. If there's a hall of fame he should be in it. We hope you are well. Love from us in Melbourne, Australia.

The crowd suddenly silence while he sang, appreciated for the judges & people there, at the end - Kevin Skinner very genuine - 2023 still watching this -

Who still watching in 2022..Im from NEW YORK NY USA..I will never forget his addition, simple farmer very genuine, even though people very judgemental and superficial and shallow they were laughing at him.. just because what he was doing for a living..Right there I new He is a weiner may God bless you Kevin and your family..❤❤❤

Can't get enough of this version! "Don't judge a book by the cover"

His voice is priceless. Never judge anyone until you get to know them.

When a gracious person melts instantly in the hearet iit would be Kevin skinner the greatst of all time

It’s 2022 and this audition is still one of the best ever because it’s rare to see and hear such a beautiful performance. If you live to be 100 you’ll never hear a better voice- different maybe but never better.

One of my favorites. Still come to watch him after all this time. Gems can be found in mud.

Begins from the heart, shot up to the brain and releases through the voice, how sincere he was though surroudings not going in his favour. He couldn't control it anymore,ends with the pouring rain. A very good example for the rich and the poor.

2024 still listen this song Kevin Skinner is the best singer love him from Albania 🇦🇱

This guy has more class in his little finger than all 3 of those judges combined!

Tears in my eyes, I have no words.. He is fantastic..

I love the looks of the people in the audience one he starts singing. Beautiful voice.

Hi Kevin skinner. Saw this 13 years ago and just come across it again. I will say again what I said back then. Freaking Awsome sir.

Every friday night, to celebrate the weekend I end up listening to this masterpiece and it never fails to bring me to tears..

This song was shared between my grandparents...My grandmother just passed away not too long ago..so to hear it sung so well..makes me happy.

i cry too guys. He knows how to touch people hearts

Kevin you are a true American man,, you bring tears to my eyes from the first time you sang that song,, and still now 2024 ,, every time I see chicken I think of you and your song,, like I said you are a true American,,, Aloha from Hawaii

April 12 2022 im remember this guy 👦 very emotional 😢 talent 👏 with bottom of my heart ❤

I could just imagine kevin skinner sitting on a chair on his porch singing for years b4 he plucked up the courage to go on this stage in front of thousands of people , he's a star based on his own merrits & the show was his stage to stardom , wherever you are kevin i wish you all the best from a fan in Scotland

The judges’ faces when Kevin started singing... Priceless.. That was so awesome.!!!

Never been a fan of those TV shows but I fall for His performance completely... Kevin broke and opened my heart in the same moment

This is the most beautiful and touching rendition of this beautiful song. I think of it often, hence replaying it today! Congrats Kevin! Hope your life is rich and rewarding, you deserve it!

This dude won the whole thing. 1 million dollars. Legend.

I dont remember how many times I searched RU-vid for Kevin to listen him again and again. His singing is incomparable

After all these years... every time I come back to hear the voice of this sincere artist with his feelings... the voice of sincerity of feelings

Watched it again today since then..tears still flows.....

Outstanding performance Kevin. As a country boy myself from rural Ireland I can feel your humble heart. Judges mocking a man for his clothes and accent, absolutely shocking. God bless you Kevin

One thing that always pisses me off watching these shows is how the judges just fucking sneer and make rude facial expressions the second they see someone that doesn't fit their expectations, already painting a negative opinion in their head of this person without knowing a single fucking thing about them. Its down right disgusting and these people should feel shame in being like that, and should apologize especially if they are proven wrong. That snide look that British fuck Piers on the right gave and Ozborne heckling at his accent, who the fuck are they to judge someone in such a manner, their job is to judge someones performance not their character and appearance. Even if his performance had been hokey he would still be a human being who had the courage to go up there and do that, with a heart soul and story to him and deserves respect until his actions prove otherwise. Only person up there who seemed to have understood that was David Hasselhoff and he has earned my respect.

Soon as he started to sing i knew that he would win it . Very soft but powerful voice

2022 and it never gets old

A great man from our country, God bless you Kevin.

This guy has a lots of soul, he sing with his heart, that's the reason it's so beautiful, he's in the best on RU-vid,,, Long road to you my friend…!!!

still go back to this in 2023 #inspirational

2022 i still love this song
