Kevin and Kristen Skinner read every bit of this page and left their heart felt thanks in the guest book. Thank you so much to you both!  

Many fans have shared strong emotional experiences while listening to Kevin sing. Please, feel free to share yours in the guestbook as well. "Offical: America's Got Talent Live began October 7th 2009" Pictured is Kevin Skinner in Las Vegas on Nov. 6th.  Kevin said that he expects to have a CD out around April or May of 2010. Dreams came true for this guitarist, singer and song writer from Kentucky. Kevin is America's choice, a STAR and it is his time to shine!

Mayfield, Kentucky declared September 26th  as "Kevin Skinner Day" before he went to Las Vegas to headline in the "America's Got Talent Live" show at Planet Hollywood.  Kevin's amazing emotional performance of the song "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks captured hearts from the start.  Kevin called his music style Bent Lemon, a name people would remember, but now  he is  known by his name.  Kevin writes songs in hopes that people can feel when they listen. He sure has made us all feel when we hear him sing. Oh, my God! America Voted! Kevin's pure raw talent is a gift to us all! WorldClassMasterpieceBadge GoodSearch: You Search...We Give!

"Kevin, my husband and I watched you all season long. We each have a computer of our own and would vote on each. We were so proud when you won!! It felt like someone in my own family had just won. You sing with such emotion. I hope you go far. Best wishes to you and your family".


According to his Mom, at the age of 3, Kevin was able to memorize whole songs from start to finish!

Kevin will record a CD! We're all waiting!!! 

Kevin we are so proud of you... You are one in a million... WOOT! (For those wondering, "woot" is a celebratory exclamation in the Squidoo community.)

Kevin Skinner

Kevin, you are what Americans are all about! You love this land, the people and thank God!

Jess wrote to Kevin on September 17, 2009- "Kevin, I can not put into words how proud and happy I am for you. I cried tears of joy when they announced your name. I really think you have a great future ahead of you. I come from a state where growing chickens and catching chickens are a big industry. I know how hard you have worked, and to see you climb this ladder to success is great! You truly deserve this break in life. Always be the person America fell in love with and you will go far. Job Well Done!"

"I can't say as I've ever been a real fan of anyone but Kevin, I gotta tell you, you are something different. I was searching for new information on you and was disappointed until I landed here! Finally something presented that displays some heart and creativity. The pictures are great! I'll be making my way to Vegas, not far for us folks in Oklahoma!"

Kevin Skinner on America's Got Talent 

Can't help by love this guy!

It was easy to see that the judges and audience loved Kevin when he was on America's Got Talent. Kevin has such a sweetness about him that just shines. Kevin interacted with the judges and everyone in the room with greatness that is humanly-real. He truly is a performer and was very funny at times. We will be entertained by his charm for many years and be able to enjoy his gift of music. Kevin said to thank everyone for their support from the bottom of his heart. ~ Isn't that cool?

Gail wrote in guest book

Nov 1st: "I can say that I truly enjoyed my visit here and I truly love Kevin's music! It's like my heart opens up when Kevin sings."

Kevin, we all love you so much...you rock! 

You are such a humble man, true and honest, and mix that with love and talent! Wow!

There was a viewing at the Graves County High School gym of AGT on September 1st with about 2000 fans rooting for Kevin. Admission was free with a canned food item going to Needline. T-shirts, signs and concessions were sold with all proceeds going to St Jude's Children Hospital as Kevin requested.

During the AGT Show, Kevin felt that a lot people liked what Grandma Lee was doing. He said that he was sure and had a pretty strong feeling that she is going to have a long career too and have a lot of success. "And you know, it kind of shocked me that, you know, that it turned out the way it did." ... he said.

"Kevin, I just want you to know that your audition performance of "If Tomorrow Never Comes" touched my heart. I showed the performance to my husband, and he said that was one of his favorite songs. That's when I realized how he really felt about me, even after nearly 10 years of marriage. Now, when I watch your performance again, I get a warm feeling and love my husband even more! Thank you for sharing your talent. It has made a difference in our marriage!!!"

~ Kevin Skinner ~

Likes to go fishing, hunting, and mudding with his truck.
He likes to sit on the porch at night with Kristen and count the stars

There's One More Star To Count! 

Everyone who is successful must have dreamed of something.

Kevin said, "I fit into that slot man along where a lot of Americans do. You know, just a working class guy and just trying to do whatever it takes to get by. You know, kind of like everybody else. I kind of feel like I kind of represent that portion of hard working class people. So I know I got a lot of fans and my heart goes out to every single one of them man because if wasn't for them, you know, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Kevin Skinner 35 America's Got Talent June 30 2009 

Kevin sings like an angel with passion and deep emotion.

Kevin isn't afraid to show the world that he is a man of love and deep emotions. He sings from the feelings of love and of grief within himself and from his tender heart. He reaches us from that TV or computer screen right where we are and we feel. Sometimes tears begin to flow and we have been touched deep within by more than just a man.

"If Tomorrow Never Comes" Lyrics 

Kevin sings this song to his wife Kristen who is his biggest fan!

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
Shes lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
(chorus)
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That shes my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
(chorus)
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

Kevin Skinner 35 Unemployed Farmer in Local News cast 

Kevin's Grandma, Ethel Clapp died and after her death Kevin wanted to find a way to deal with the pain in his heart.

After Kevin's grandmother died he also wrote "Her Stone" because he needed a way to deal with the pain inside and began to write songs that flowed to him. He sings "Her Stone" with feeling and healing from grief! ~ It touched a place inside of me that revealed my humanity and opened a flood of feelings I hadn't allowed myself to feel in awhile. I lost that music video and haven't been able to get it back. I'm sure Kevin will record it someday!

This is Kevin's time to be... 

... the Singer-Song-Writer he has always dreamed of being!

That One Million was as well as in you pocket Kevin. You are great!!! ~ I am so glad that I worked all day on the 4th of July to publish this page about Kevin and get it off the ground. This man has sent love into my soul each time I listen to him sing, so as I work on updates here I get a lot joy in doing it.

Kevin said, "Back home, it's very rare to see me without my hat, unless it's something formal, like a wedding. It's something that only I would understand. It's my frame of mind, like, when you're getting down to business, you turn your hat backwards."

"God gives us each a song." ~ Ancient Proverb

It didn't take the judges long to figure out that Kevin isn't a joke.

Kevin Skinner was dressed wearing a baseball cap backwards, jeans, striped hooded pull-over shirt and carrying a guitar with him on stage.

As Kevin gave the last audition of the day on June 30th 2009 he won the hearts of the judges with his deep and beautiful voice. He is a chicken catcher from Mayfield KY, but his musical talent captured the judges and the viewers.

Kevin started playing "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Garth Brooks and everyone felt the passion and enjoyed and admired his emotion and performance. The Hoff said, "WOW"!

Most contestants on the show have a polished Hollywood look usually trying to look beautiful and charming but Skinner is totally different. His honest looks and his simplicity makes him different from all the rest, he's genuine.

Kevin reminds me of "home-boys", if you know what I mean!

Kevin's Audition: "I'm Off To Heaven" 

Kevin wrote this song for his Grandmother after her passing.

Kevin said that being on AGT and waiting to hear who would win was wearing on his nerves. Winning on the show is a feeling that he has never felt before and that he probably will never experience something of the magnitude ever again and that he wants to savour the feeling.

"To Make You Feel My Love" Lyrics 

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the star appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love

Kevin Sang "Always On My Mind" 

A Great Willie Nelson Song!

Kevin dedicated "Always On My Mind" to his Dad who is right proud of his son. Joe wasn't able to attend the AGT shows because of health reasons but he made it for last week to be with his son. Let's keep praying for Joe Skinner!

I'm sure Willie is real proud of you too Kevin.

You Were Always On My Mind ~ Lyrics 

Semi Final Sep.1st '09 AGT Kevin Skinner

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind


Kevin we are all so proud of you in the best way possible. God was with you again when you sang this beautiful song for your Dad. Angels are handing out gifts of blessings to your fans! ~
God bless you and your family! ~ musical notes Pictures, Images and Photos

Final Results: September 16th, 2009 ~ Kevin Wins One Million! 

Makes me proud to be an American! ~ Kevin began to cry when he found out he won!

Kevin said that, "Winning on America's Got Talent would be a great gift, but just being a part of the show is something that I will never forget".

Kevin was asked what he listened to growing up..."When I was little, I liked KISS for some reason. I was born in '74, and I remember KISS had come along big. I'd always jump around, do the tongue motion ... just three or four years old. Of course, I could take my guitar out right now and play you 'Beth.'"



September 16th, Susan Boyle, Britain's Got Talent runner-up sang the Rolling Stones ballad Wild Horses. She awed the audience with her performance.

The audition-round rejects returned to the stage to perform Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now.

Shakira, well, I'm sure we'd all like to watch that performance again. Wow!

Now Kevin headlines in America's Got Talent Love show at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino hosted by Jerry Springer in October. ~ "I've always loved to perform," Kevin said. "I want to go out there, and give 'em the best show I can."


Doug wrote October 18, 2009
"Kevin I'm a musician with a dream too and am encouraged by your story and in a few years I hope to have a similar story to tell. I truly am very happy for you and hope to meet you one day. You show us the way is to work hard and dream to the limit."

"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" 

An Aerosmith Song ... Wow!

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While your'e far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if its me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God were together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing

Bent Lemon - Kevin Skinner 

Kevin, where did you come up with Bent Lemon? Curious minds want to know!

I know everyone is curious as to where he got the name Bent Lemon. Without a doubt that is unusual. Kevin said he wanted something that none will forget...something that will stand out... something that you don't hear everyday, and so there you have it. ~ This is Kevin talking to his sister.

Kevin rocked the house with songs like "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" and some originals. Some fans said Kevin sounded better with his original band (included his older brother) than he did on AGT. Kevin signed hundreds of autographs after the 2 hour free concert.

Smiling for you, wrote Oct.11.09 ~ "The first time I heard you sing on AGT you had me in tears, that was the most beautiful version of the song I have ever heard. You sang the song better than Garth Brooks ever could. I knew you were going to win and I voted for you each time, enjoy and God Bless you and your family."

Kirsten and Mike wrote October 23, 2009 ~ "Kevin we have seperate cells and computers so you got bunches of votes from us each time we had a chance and we would compete to see who would finish first and get to make the land line calls. We had never done that before and maybe never will again and you should have heard us laugh. All the best to you and your family and to those that are managing this website that is so fun to visit! We love the pictures and stories. We won't get to Vegas but will definitely see you as your career moves you on."

I laugh at myself when I think how excited I got when you won... Talk about whooping and hollering... There's something I've wanted to say to you Kevin ever since I heard you do that song If Tomorrow Never Comes... I don't think there is ever enough love to make it all right... but the love that we give each other in this life sure helps when a loved one is taken... I can't put into words how much I enjoy hearing you sing. Your music comes through so pure and true... so straight from the heart... I thank you. I pray you won't let fame and fortune change you. I wish you well. God Bless You and Yours

    A new picture of Kevin--what a nice surprise! It's not the best picture of him, but we hard core Kevin Skinner fans are grateful for any glimpse of him. I think I can see that James Dean thing you mentioned but mostly I see a guy trying to take a quick break from the lime light--a little worn around the edges at that moment and it's hard to always get that smile up. Be sure and get your rest Kevin, we want you around for a long, long time.

    Kevin and family....I'd like you to know I've never been a large fan of country music. You have made a believer in songs from the heart. My mom said, "you have to see this guy" and had taped your performance from AGT. Your performances show a genuine human being and I hope you will always keep that close to your heart. Don't let the trappings of fame let you forget where you came from or who you are inside. Keep the dream alive, stay true to yourself! I wish you and your family the best and will be one of the millons you have inspired to buy your upcoming CD!

    I remember watching AGT and being floored at how well Kevin sang. But it wasn't just his singing, it was his humble attitude that really got to me. I totally enjoyed reading this.

    KevIn you are AMZNG!!!! I love the way you sing and the way you are and I hope you never change. I voted and voted for you and could hardly wait to hear "KEVIN SKINNER" and then cried when I did. I watch your videos over and over and know all your songs by heart and can't wait for you to put out more.

    Kevin, my husband and I watched you all season long. We each have a computer of our own and would vote on each. We were so proud when you won!! It felt like someone in my own family had just won. You sing with such emotion. I hope you go far. Best wishes to you and your family.

    Dear Kevin
    Living in Ireland, I watched you on youtube and cried and cried with emotion at the beauty and deep expression of your soulful singing. I listened to the song for your grandmother, o the sweet lyrics! Thank you so much for your gift and sharing it with the world. Please come to Ireland so I can see you in person!!!!
    Best of luck in all your endeavours for you and your family. Im very happy to know that you won.

    Kevin, you are the most exciting thing to happen to music since Elvis Presley. God has certainly given you a talent that was instantly recognized by millions from the moment you opened your mouth and sang "If tomorrow never comes". There hasn't been one day since then that we haven't thought of you and replayed that performance and others. God bless you and your family and we are all looking forward to your future.

    I wonder if Kevin and Kristen have gotten to count the stars lately--something pretty hard to do in Vegas with all the lights. I've heard the night sky is quite lovely out in the dessert once you get far enough out of the city. May they always carry those times close to their hearts and find ways to re-create those times on the porch. The 10 week Vegas show with the AGT folks has only a month to go and I am among the many Kevin Skinner fans wondering just what he will be doing next. Hey, oldhippy--any light that you can share on this?

    I laugh at myself when I think how excited I got when you won... Talk about whooping and hollering... There's something I've wanted to say to you Kevin ever since I heard you do that song If Tomorrow Never Comes... I don't think there is ever enough love to make it all right... but the love that we give each other in this life sure helps when a loved one is taken... I can't put into words how much I enjoy hearing you sing. Your music comes through so pure and true... so straight from the heart... I thank you. I pray you won't let fame and fortune change you. I wish you well. God Bless You and Yours

I worked in the hatchery most of the time but also was a chicken catcher a few times too. I slso love to sing, but never got anywhere with it. Congtratulations on yoiur win and I wish you and your family the best. I can't wait to buy your CD.

    I almost didn't watch AGT this time because I can't stand it when my favorite doesn't win! I am so glad I watched--I was so touched by your story and your music. Can't wait for a CD. I wish you and your family the best--enjoy! My grand daughter makes fun of me because I cry when emotional (like you seem to) and today when she heard me listening to your songs on this site, she came in and said teasingly, "are you crying?" I hope to be able to go to Vegas in December to see you sing!!! Congratulations!!!!

    Wouldn't it be great to be able to see a video of Kevin on stage in Vegas? They do keep things under wraps there and no videos are coming out. I know Kevin is working on a CD. I wish him all the best with the recording, because I know there are many things that can go wrong. Hoping for the best possible sound, mix and feelings of the heart to come through loud and clear on that.
