July 1, 200917 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzul5rxd-i8 That's one chicken chaser that can sing country!
July 1, 200917 yr I felt bad when he said he was a chicken catcher and everyone laughed. Maybe he loves his job?
July 1, 200917 yr Congrats to the chicken chaser! I do not envy his job and I am quite sure he would not envy my pipes!:lol:
July 1, 200917 yr Didn’t know there was such an occupation as a chicken catcher. I hope he goes far in the competition.
July 1, 200917 yr When they were making fun of him, I told my wife this guy is going to be great. Watching the judges faces was just priceless.
July 1, 200917 yr He was OK. A little above average. He picked better than he sang. If the 14 yr old girl is Major League this guy is AA.

What, you think the chickens just walk into the frying pan? :lol: I did this job once with my uncle who had a chicken catching crew. You used to go into these fairly low, very long, chicken coops, way after dark while the chickens were sleeping. The key was to catch as many has you could hold in both hands with very little noise, so you didn't wake the others up. Only went with him once, that was enough for me. I would guess chicken catching is still done this way. As for the dude siging he was a real suprise to the judges, but alot of people in KY have some real talent. I hope he wins the Million dollars and buys his own chicken coop.

July 2, 200917 yr I will say this...I do believe that some of this is staged..Not the actual competition and such but some of what they say, it's premeditated I guess. I mean really was anyone shocked when he said "chicken catcher" and "I ain't really good at math". That's what was expected of someone from Kentucky. I just get tired of this perception and the stereotype that is given to all people who live in Kentucky.
July 2, 200917 yr If the 14 yr old girl is Major League this guy is AA. I missed the KY guy, but did see the girl sing. She was pretty awesome.

I just get tired of this perception and the stereotype that is given to all people who live in Kentucky. You make a good point. He is the stereotypical “country boy”. I think his persona, be it real or not, makes him likable to much of the viewing audience in the heart of the country. IMO I don’t think it was an act. The show probably auditions thousands of people at each location and they only show those acts/stories that are good for TV, good and bad.
