Kevin Skinner the Next Susan Boyle?

on July 1, 2009 at 11:00 AM

Did you see Kevin Skinner last night on America's Got Talent? The blogsphere is calling him the next "Susan Boyle," but I'm not so sure...

This "country bumpkin" chicken catcher from Kentucky charmed the crowd with a lovely rendition of Garth Brooks' "If Tomorrow Never Comes." He's talented for sure, and it was sort of beautiful, but I'm not totally convinced yet that Skinner is the next big thing.

What do you think?

About the author Kim Conte

has shoes that make people stop her on the street and ask "Where did you get those?" but it doesn't work for taxi cabs as she was hit by one ... and lived to tell the tale. She has more freckles than Lohan but way less attitude. And she's a fierce cook with tons of recipes to share -- and wishes she could share some with Bourdain.

I think both his voice and his guitar playing were incredible.

I don't know if he can make it in country music.The competition is really rough and the big sellers are more rock than pure country.

I also don't know if he can win this competiton. Country fans may not be the most frequent voters.

I do know that I want to hear more from him.

Please Kenny sing " the Dance"

I will be voting for him. I have never voted in this kind of show before.

He isn't only a country music singer. I've heard him sing southern rock, gospel, and alternative music before. I think America is going to be shocked to see the wide range of songs he can sing.

I really liked him when he was on. You could see his emotion, his voice was wonderful, kinda a whole package deal. I hope he gets far in this competition.
