power performance

Fred Dame concludes his recap of the show:
But now I come to the end of the show, and boy I am glad that stayed
to the end to watch this performer. Before Kevin Skinner took the
stage, his video montage introduction gave me the impression that this
may be, as Piers Morgan put it, a "car crash.”
Shame on me to make a judgment on Skinner's talent based on the fact
that he was from the back woods of Kentucky, a former chicken catcher
and giving off a persona much like a country bumpkin.
I was terribly wrong, so wrong! Never judge a book by its cover ran
through my mind, as Kevin Skinner opened his mouth and began strumming
his guitar. Skinner gave a performance that mesmerized the audience
and caused jaws to drop at the judges desk.
The audience sat in rapt attention, eyes intent on this man with this
voice. They sat as if paralyzed and I nearly fell out of my seat.
This man could sing and everyone was glued to every note of the song.
I cannot say enough in this review to do this man justice.
Go to the America's got Talent website on NBC.com, and see for
yourself if you weren't privy to last night's show. A simple man, with
a simple song brought the house down and landed him a spot in the next
round.
It's my belief and I am sure that of everyone there, that Kevin
Skinner will go on to possibly win this competition. Watch this guy! I
will not be surprised to see him standing on that stage in the finals,
later this summer!
Move over Susan Boyle, America has Kevin Skinner!
