Kevin Skinner Wins America’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle Performs
Singing chicken farmer, Kevin Skinner took the top prize in the Simon Cowell produced America’s Got Talent finale tonight. He wins a million dollars and a headlining gig in Las Vegas.
I kinda stopped paying attention to this show about halfway through its run, but I do remember Kevin’s audition, and I wasn’t impressed with his country warbling. Was he really the most talented of the finalists? Peeps who’ve been watching, please, that can’t possibly be true. I just listened to his final performance, “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing”, and holy crap, that was NOT good. To say the least.
Sharon Osbourne compared Kevin to Johnny Cash and Lou Reed? Please. Kill me NOW.
Susan Boyle performed her first single the Rolling Stone’s “Wild Horses” from her upcoming album. And that was very stiff and unimpressive. She shouted her way through the song without displaying any emotional range or phrasing. And the crowd kept applauding…what? Oh, the applause sign, most likely.
America’s Got Talent = Full of Fail.

MJ I think that is not his first audition. Wasn’t his first audition the “If tomorrow never comes” ?
At least Kevin S did not had the sob stories like so many constestants here. (Voices of Glory mom’s who had health problem, Barbara P who just recover from cancer etc etc)
The quality of the contestant have gone waaayyyyyy down since season 3 and never recovered.
The only ex finalist from AGT that have a performance at result show this season is Terry Fator who win seasn 2 and now has his own Vegas show. The producer even did no bother to ask Neal the season 3 winner to sing .
And though this show had Simon Cowell as producer, its kind of too obvious and a little insulting by putting Susan Boyle perform at pimp spot in finale result. (other singing guest stars: Shakira, Leona Lewis and Rascal Flat)
Come on. Susan even have not release an album. And yes she is a not a bad singer but definitely did not had any star quality just like Neal and Kevin Skinner.
But Simon Cowell PR maybe manage to promote her all out and her first solo album can be a success.
