America’s Got Talent: Kevin Skinner Wins!
Well, like the entire “America’s Got Talent” season, the finale was a long, drawn out, bloated affair. There was Leona Lewis, Rascal Flatts, Shakira, and Susan Boyle performing. But, all I really cared about was who won the show!
The Hoff came out tonight all snappy looking. I think he was going for Rat Pack, but it looked more Al Capone to me. There was a performance of the Top 10 with Thelma Houston, who I still say looks incredible. The woman has to be 60 if she is a day! Yes, the hair is crazy, but the face and skin are flawless. The show brought back some of the bad acts. Forgive me everyone, I cannot remember your names! There was the guy in the big chair, the old Elvis, the gay diva singer, the blonde screeching girl, the old disco guy, and the bad magician. The best part was when the magician made Grandma Lee and Piers appear – in wedding clothes!
The top 5 acts were Barbara Padilla, the Voice of Glory, the Texas Tenors, and Kevin Skinner. It was between Recycled Percussion and Grandma Lee and the crowd was chanting “Grandma Lee, Grandma Lee,” but Recycled Percussion was given the fifth spot.
The Voices of Glory finished in fifth. Those kids are so cute – Piers has enough money, he should give them a million! Fourth place went to the Texas Tenors and Recycle Percussion finished in third.
So it was between Kevin Skinner and Barbara Padilla. Both had inspiring stories and both were good, but in really, really different ways. After last night’s disappointing “Big Brother” finish, I figured Kevin would come in second and return to obscurity in Kentucky, but no, he pulled out the big win. I was so happy! Like my husband said, Barbara Padilla is great (we both think so and we don’t even like opera!), so she doesn’t have to worry about a job. And now I dare say Kevin Skinner is the richest unemployed chicken catcher in the world!
