Richard Goodall, the janitor from Indiana who charmed the America’s Got Talent judges with his rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” took the stage tonight to give his final performance before the winner is crowned on September 24.
Goodall performed Journey’s “Faithfully,” and the judges were blown away. They were similarly wowed by his initial performance, awarding him a Golden Buzzer. Now, he must prove that he has what it takes to be America’s most talented act.
The singing janitor was told before his performance that a member of Journey would be joining him on stage as he gave his own rendition of “Faithfully.” As for the judges’ feedback, Heidi Klum praised Goodall as “an amazing man” who turns into a “big rock star” when he gets on stage. Simon Cowell called Goodall “our hero,” noting that he’s “never crumbled” during the competition.
In a bold move, Howie Mandel predicted that Goodall could win America’s Got Talent based on his final performance. Clearly, Goodall stunned the judges once again, making him a strong contender in the competition.
