The Next Susan Boyle

It was my first time watching "America's Got Talent" tonight. And I was both sad and amazed. The last contestant tonight was a man named Kevin Skinner, a chicken catcher dressed in a poncho and dirty baseball cap. The camera panned the audience to show the sniggering faces. I was immediately caught up by how much this resembled another sniggering crowd in the U.K. that was soon brought to its feet. Kevin said he would be singing Garth Brooks and as soon as I heard the first bars of his guitar, I felt a shiver go down my spine. His rendition of "If Tomorrow Never Comes" was so simple and beautiful. It was the second time I've every been brought to tears by a song. I wish him luck in the contest, and hopefully people will listen before they snigger.
