Kevin Skinner, a singing chicken catcher from Mayfield, Kentucky took home the $1 million prize and a contract for a show in Las Vegas, on Wednesday night’s season finale of America’s Got Talent.

With guest performances by Leona Lewis, Shakira, Rascal Flatts, Susan Boyle, and montages of highlights from the past season, the show was packed full.

“I feel so good right now,” the shy 35-year-old father-of-two told host Nick Cannon. “I’m ready to perform. I wanna go out there and give ‘em the best show I can. Thanks, America, for voting me in.”

Barbara Padilla, an opera singer from Houston, was this season’s frontrunner going into the finals, but ended up coming in second. The Recycled Percussion Band took third place. Skinner will headline an “America’s Got Talent” show at the Planet Hollywood Resort&Casino hosted by Jerry Springer this October.
