It’s no secret that the America’s Got Talent stage has seen its fair share of singers since its debut in 2006. Among the talented singers that have taken the stage, are some pretty great country artists. Let’s take a look at America’s Got Talent‘s 15 best country singers.
Ranking The Best Country Singers Ever on AGT
15. Jonah Smith
Jonah Smith and his band surely proved themselves on their AGT season, but unfortunately they didn’t shine on the stage early on. Their audition was montaged, but they continued into the competition, until the semifinals, where they were eliminated.
14. Kevin Skinner
America’s Got Talent Season Four winner Kevin Skinner proved that he was truly the definition of country during his audition. Given his authenticity and amazing singing voice, it’s no surprise that he ended up winning the season.
13. Shaquira McGrath
Throughout this singer’s life, she’s been told that certain aspects of herself was what held her back from having a career in singing. Shaquira McGrath came to the stage hoping to defy the odds and get her start on the stage.
12. Genesis Nava
Even though 11 year old singer Genesis Nava was nervous to perform without her father on stage, she was still able to impress on AGT season 8. Although she is young in this performance, she clearly has potential to become a big artist.
11. Kameron Ross
Being stopped by Simon Cowell is always nerve wracking, but Kameron Ross didn’t let it stop him from performing well. Ahead of the performance, Ross admitted that he wanted to show that someone who identifies as apart of the queer community can be successful in country music.
10. Trailer Flowers
New 2023 country girl group Trailer Flowers didn’t let nerves get the best of them after Simon Cowell paused their first song. Instead, they returned to the stage with a second, original song. This song really impressed the audience and judges.
9. Kenadi Dodds
As if it wasn’t hard enough to come to the AGT stage as a singer, Kenadi Dodds came singing an original song. Not only was her singing and songwriting good, she also played the guitar!
8. Mitch Rossell
This 2023 contestant made a name for himself when he came to the stage singing a heartfelt song about his deceased father. His insanely smooth vocals surely solidified his place in the live shows.
7. The Millers
In many ways, The Millers were the original ‘AGT Country Star’. They were the first country act to make it all the way to the end of the show, finishing in second or third place in season one.
6. Kadie Lynn
This country singer is such an inspiration, since she was only 12 years old at the time of her audition. Although she may be young, she didn’t let nerves get the best of her.
5. Broken Roots
America’s Got Talent runner up Broken Roots impressed after they admitted they had never performed together before. They surely made themselves known in the competition after this audition.
4. Dani Kerr
Although Simon Cowell stopped this country singer, it didn’t stop her from impressing on the stage. Her beautiful rasp, paired with two great songs truly made her stand out.
3. Drake Milligan
This singer came to the stage as a singer and left as the next teen heartthrob. Milligan not only has the voice, but he has the looks.
2. Michael Grimm
America’s Got Talent Season five winner Michael Grimm first came to the stage with a slow, yet intricate song. Throughout the competition, he gained more and more fans, due to his impressive vocals. It’s no surprise he won!
1. Chapel Hart
There’s no denying that Chapel Hart brought the “it” factor to the stage when they sang original “You Can Have Him Jolene.” This fabulous trio was a well deserved Golden Buzzer and overall, are my favorite country singers ever on AGT.
