Kates Escapades – America’s Got Talent winner is…
September 17th, 2009 | Add a Comment
I am a big fan of reality TV. Think what you may, but it’s a great way for me to relax at the end of the day when my brain and body are on overload status. (FYI – Liz is not a fan like me…flying solo on this one.) America’s Got Talent is ending just in time to start up on Survivor this week.
So, after weeks of auditions and performances, America has chosen the winner of season 4.
But first a recap of Monday night’s performances from the top ten performers…
and then I’ll reveal the top 5 and finally, the winner!

Voices of Glory are the first act to kick off the competition, singing inspirational music to the song, "Greatest Love of All." Piers is so happy with their performance and says finally their entire act has become complete, Sharon agrees with Piers one hundred percent, and David says they hit their performance out of the park.

The next act to go on stage is dancer Hairo Torres with his very unusual dance moves. He takes his moves back to the basics by being solo on stage. Sharon enjoys that Hairo took a risk, David thinks that if Hairo ties all of his performances together he has potential to be great, but Piers is not a fan of the solo routine.

Lawrence takes the advice he received from the judges before and sings some fast-paced Barry White music, and receives a standing ovation afterwards. David is sure Lawrence will be leaving the show a star, Piers thinks Lawrence nailed the song but thinks Lawrence needs to tap into his sex symbol status, Sharon says Lawrence was a natural.

Barbara Padilla takes the stage, singing the opera that everybody loves. Piers tells Barbara she represents viewers at home as the woman living out her dream, Sharon loves Barbara's look and sound and can't believe how far she's come, and David feels like Barbara is ready to command the stage.

Fab Five are determined to turn their performance in the finals up a notch and the audience loves their circus theme. They receive a standing ovation. Sharon thought it was beautifully choreographed and says they are ready for Vegas, David thinks the Fab Five bring happiness wherever they go, and Piers loves their chemistry.

The Texas Tenors hit the stage and are determined to show the judges they are worthy of Las Vegas. David admires the risk they took with performing a Frank Sinatra song, Piers still believes they are cheesy but agrees they are infectious, and Sharon agrees that they are cheesy but their performance was flawless.

Drew channels his recent broken heart and sings "I'll Stand By You" and receives a standing ovation when finished. Piers admits Drew's performance left him very proud, Sharon says Drew is ready to be marketed as the next great soft rock singer, and David thinks this was Drew's best performance.

75-year-old Grandma Lee takes the stage and already has her own little fan section that are waving cut-outs of her face in the air. She delivers her traditional raunchy material to a lot of laughs. Sharon continues to love her material, David thinks Grandma Lee keeps getting funnier, and Piers agrees with Sharon's comments.

Everybody's favorite chicken catcher, Kevin Skinner, sings "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" for the audience. David and Sharon even give him a standing ovation. David feels honored to be part of Kevin's journey, Piers thinks Kevin was a little flat but his heart outshines his singing, and Sharon loves how Kevin stays true to himself by being unique.

The last performance of the night is the high-energy Recycled Percussion. Piers calls their performance absolutely brilliant and thinks they are the most exciting act of them all, Sharon loves the guys' creativity, and David loves how much energy the guys have and thinks they belong in Vegas.
The top five acts were…
Texas Tenors
Kevin Skinner
Voices of Glory
Barbara Padilla
Recycled Percussion
And the winner of Season 4 America’s Got Talent is…
Kevin Skinner!!!
And I am as thrilled as can be. My fav homeboy from KY..out of work chicken catcher and man with a heart of gold. He is exactly what shows like this should be all about. He is not the most talented of the bunch, but could have a great country music career ahead of him and America did the right thing. He absolutely deserved to win. Congrats to Kevin!
