Absolutely beautiful! It’s one thing as a campaign song but getting to watch someone my age’s rock n roll dreams come true by actually singing the song with journey, whoa!!! Thank you for ruining my makeup twice today, Journey 😉 and didn’t he look like their seasoned front man? What a performance!
It's one thing to come on AGT and sing one of the most iconic songs of all time. Richard absolutely nailed it! But to also get the chance to perform with members of the legendary band Journey as well! Wow! Simon was right during the audition, America will love Richard! I bet the kids at his school are bouncing off the walls excited for him! Bravo!! And thank you Heidi for pushing the Golden Buzzer!! In my opinion, this has been one of the best seasons of AGT in a long time! It's as if the theme "Don't Stop Believing" has struck a chord with so many people, not only across the country but around the globe! It's giving everyone a feeling that things are going to get better.
For a night, Richard became the lead singer of Journey. Who does that??? Even if he hadn't won the show, he won so much. WOW!! I am so delighted about all of this. Just a regular ol' guy, middle of America, sweeping floors and singing his heart out, and he wins! It is the greatest story and I had tears when they announced him as the winner. Go go Richard!!!
I can just picture, he’s got his broom in his hand, working his way down the school hallway, singing his heart out. He closes his eyes for a moment, but for once in the thousands of times he’s done this, he wakes up on stage singing with the band behind him. Truly, a dream come true.
@Me-kael Richard Goodall is amazing. He is good at copying Steve Perry's singing, but his voice is not similar to that. Anel Pineda's voice is much like Steve Perry. And of course, Arnel Pineda sings better than Richard Goodall. I think fans of Richard Goodall should respect Arnel Pineda more. The vocalist of Journey is Arnel. P.s. I'm not Philippino, I'm Korean, and I'm a big fan of Journey.
SERIOUSLY AWESOME OF JOURNEY TO DO THIS!! They certainly went out of their way to make this mans dream come true. That will be the single coolest moment for Richard and his family and their future family legacy. What a moment!!!!!
And Journey made my dream come true by performing with Richard Goodall. When I heard Richard sing the first time, I thought that Journey absolutely needs to perform with Richard.
@@kimberlycooper4170 It would have been really cool if Steve Perry would have been in the audience like he was when Gabby Barrett sang this song on American Idol.
@@wizpoprI hope to see Steve comment again about this amazing moment for Richard. He had already posted a video of Richard singing at the school many many months ago because he liked it so much.
I know Steve contacted Richard early on and congratulated him but I do know that there is an issue between Steve and Neil that may never heal and that's unfortunate.
From working as a janitor to singing as the lead singer live on stage with the Journey band members, this is unbelievable! This platform, AGT, is truly amazing. Well said: Don’t stop believing ❤ 🇧🇩
he isnt band member, he got one song becuase thats what people wanted to see. its a show, lot of pretend no substance. he won, he will get a million - over 40 years - so 20k a year. he has to try to get something going fast or he will be back wiping floors in a few months and crushed dreams. that show is a relaly difficult starting point for a career. only a literal handful made it. i wish him the best tough
@@woswasdenni1914 Yes, he isn’t a band member, which is why I mentioned ‘with the band members.’ A tough journey lies ahead, but he has received a lot of love and appreciation through this platform, which wouldn’t have been possible just by mopping/cleaning floors as a janitor.
@@FayeAbram-h7s To be honest, this was his worst of the four performances. I think he was distracted by who was accompanying him, and he didn't put his usual level of passion into the song itself. His singing was fine, but just lacking the deep emotion that was present in the other three.
We all know Richard is a gifted and talented singer. But what Journey did was a real ROCKSTAR master class. They went to support their #1 fan and make his dream come true. I take my hat off for Journey. Gentlemen.
America finally got it right. Congratulations to you RICHARD GOODALL for winning AGT!!!! You deserve it. And playing with Journey what an experience. Kudos for members of Journey to come to AGT and perform with Richard.
REALLY awesome for Journey to do this. This is why people love Journey. They are never snobby when it comes to things like this, and It's why people love Journey. So glad that Dean Castronovo is back drumming with Journey. 🥰
My face from start to the finish 😊😊😊😊😊. What he said at audition its mind blowing "THE SONG SPEAK FOR IT SELF" What a Journey Richard!!!! Look at you now DONT STOP BELIEVING!!!!!!🙌🙌🙌
Neal shredded that guitar ... man this was once in a lifetime to witness and for richard to be able to introduce his own idol like that... you can only imagine all the emotion he was feeling and being sbl3 to see him play that guitar right in front of his eyes much less performing eith him ... congratulations richard all the way back in Indiana!!!!. You legend !!!
If anyone ever deserved to win AGT it is Richard Goodall so humble and so talented. When I saw his first audition I almost fell out of my chair..he has an amazing voice. Congratulations Richard you really deserve this and I hope you get to read all the comments supporting your amazing win !!!
March 27: It was my second time back on the show, and I had twenty minutes to scarf down some breakfast at the hotel before my driver arrived to take me to LAX. Other acts were milling about, patting themselves on the back for their taping the day before for Season 19 of "America's Got Talent." Mine hadn't gone so well, but my mind was on the coffee and eggs. Richard Goodall, who had never flown in an airplane before, had just arrived for his taping, sat alone, and I joined him for breakfast. He informed me he was going to sing a Journey song, and he said, "Listen to this." As I listened on his phone, I said, "That's Steve Perry; where are you?" He said, "That is me." I looked over this simple, non-assuming 55-year-old janitor of 23 years from Terre Haute, Indiana, and told him he was going to go all the way. He just shrugged, but I knew it, there and then, and this night proved to be Richard's finest hour.
Thanks for sharing… just knew the first night he would win and was so excited. He is so natural at singing… can you imagine if he gets a coach and works with someone even more? Wow. He is a star w a song!! Tears are flowing. The people in home town helped him get a car and have money for trips… and he got married after his first wife died. God blessed this sweet man.
There isn't much in today's mind-numbing, repetitive, manufactured "entertainment" that can cause me to burst out in tears but Richard, his miraculous talent, energy, and the love bursting forth and pouring over him from the audience did it. This kind of person expresses more than just commercial "talent", he channels something from another space that, even though we can't fully explain it, reaches us and touches our hearts and souls. The effect he has on ordinary people says it all.
*Revelation 3:20* Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. HEY THERE 🤗 JESUS IS CALLING YOU TODAY. Turn away from your sins, confess, forsake them and live the victorious life. God bless. Revelation 22:12-14 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Unreal! He F****** DID IT!!! This entire night was like an Emmy-winning movie. I have watched this show since season 3 and I've never wanted someone to win as bad as I did with Richard. It shows there is still humility and something right and pure left in this crazy world and country we live in. Bravo Richard. You are an AGT legend now.
The only one I saw from Journey was Neal Schon. But how amazing for Richard to be able to sing with Steve Perry but also with Neal Schon one of the founding members of Journey and winds of winning AGT and million dollars. Congrats Richard.
Journey is so over-hyped, but it's nothing compared to the unbelievable gushing over this janitor. He is not that good and on this song, he sounds terrible. Everyone who is going crazy for him: would you pay to see him in concert? Would you buy his record? I can't imagine anyone paying to see him in concert (without Journey). He has no stage presence and his voice is just not that good or interesting.
@@lisakeith9359I unfortunately have to agree with you about the stage presence. Yes he is in tune and the pitch is okay but he just doesn't have that "zing."
Richard!!!!! Don't EVER "Stop Believing" because you have just been blessed as the 2024 AGT SUPERSTAR winner!! And dreams sometime DO come true! Thrilled for your journey. You are amazing. Congratulations on your marriage to Angie. Shine brightly, you incredible STAR!!!!
What a great moment for this gentleman. Even if the 70s & 80s bands don't look like they once did or aren't out touring anymore, there's a reason they "won't go away." It's cuz they stand the test of time. They just don't make 'em like they used to! Gen X really was lucky to grow up w/these bands.
Journey is still touring! Sadly not with Steeve Perry but with Arnel. Would be awesome for them to do with this guy what Queen did with Adam Lambert! Also still touring!
Arnel is really good, though. I think he's the best lead singer they've had since Perry left! Even in their newest album, it feels like an album that was actually MADE in the 80s! They're sticking with who they are and giving us what we want. I can't think of any other album recorded today that sounds like it was made in the 80s!
Richard sings for the common people. The ones who would love to be a superstar but do the jobs that need to be done. He is one of US Proud of you Richard
@@scottsyoutubevideos guess you just don’t get it….. they were so much incredible talent on that show this year. And he just wasn’t one of them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Neal Schon has always been this cool and giving with the public. Back in the 1980s, he used to show up at a small club in Studio City, CA called Sasch's. He, Mick Fleetwood and other Professionals played for the love of it, basically, and they would invite any singers from the crowd to show up and give it a go with them. I always love Neal and Mick for this treasure. So, its no surprise to me that Neal showed up for this guy. He's always been about that. Love me some Neal Schon !!!
Neal Shone, an incredible person and still bringing it most excellently. He and Steve Perry were, are down in history. So great to see this Journey! ❤❤❤ Richard Goodall living his dream.
Man , I’m so happy for Richard Goodall , like others have said , this is what AGT is all about! Having a talented guy like him that wanted to see share his gifts finally get the chance to, and look at the blessing! His life will never be the same, and I’m sure the kids at school will miss him but are so proud of him !
I love how he went and SLAYED that high note in front of effin Journey and got a fist bump from Neil for it. Just damn living the dream. WOW what a night. Just fantastic.
I have been a huge Journey fan from the start. I closed my eyes while listening to this and it is the same as listening to the original song with Steve Perry. I am shocked and overwhelmed that someone else actually sounds that close to Perry's voice. The Journey band playing behind Richard with every note perfect is a once in a lifetime moment that will never be recreated. This is one the best things to happen in music history for AGT. Sweeping floors and dreaming of singing with Journey...now this man is a legend. Thank you, Journey... for kindness and support backing Richard, because the fans everywhere still love you.
Having Neal put his hand on him says amazing man and I am proud to be here for him, is a crowning pointing to a guy singing for kids and help keep the school clean. He sings from the heart and emotion truely amazing.
I love to see superstars do something as classy as what Journey just did for Richard. They should invite Richard to perform this song with them on tour because he nailed it! Good luck Richard and congrats for your wedding.
Man!!! I got chills watching NEAL! KILLED IT! I LOVE JOURNEY! RICHARD! THIS HOOSIER CONGRATULATES U! DONT STOP BELIEVING!!!! THE SONG U STARTED WITH U ENDED WITH AND LOOK WHO ELSE APPRECIATES U! FREAKING JOURNEY AND NEAL OMG!!! U song that song and believed it all this time and now ur a MILLIONAIRE!!!
Love for Richard from Terre Haute, IN, where the man himself lives. My mother's a pianist and has had the honor of playing along with Richard a handful of times when he would sing at some of the local churches.
I usually bypass these videos, but I've been enthralled with Richard and his road to this point. So happy for him, regardless of the final results, I think he would agree he's already won. This IS winning. What a great story, this is exactly what these shows should be about. Real people with real talent who would otherwise never have the exposure. Good for you, Richard. Good for you. ❤
This is definitely a legendary moment, wow. To get any band members together after such a long time is a feat within itself, but to also find someone who sounds so similar to the original vocalist after 40 years is a miracle. I can only imagine what he'd sound like with his teeth fixed, as that is really a handicap when it comes to anything speech related. Hope his winning AGT got him the treatment he deserves, and can't wait to hear him in future. That first audition, even the first word, was unforgettable.
This brought me to tears, and the fist bump from Neal, well that was the icing on the cake; we'll done you guys. I can't put into words what I feel as I'm watching this; sooooooo many emotions. When Journey came out with this song I was in my early 20's, and have loved it all these years. NEAL IS A PHENOMENON 🤩 I HAVE TO SAY I DO MISS STEVE PERRY-----HE WAS THE BEST.😍
What got me, when Richard first auditioned, beyond the stunning voice we weren't expecting, is how many people knew this song. This song came out when I was a kid! To see the entire audience, of all ages, all backgrounds, knowing this song and rocking out to this song during the audition, was incredible. For him to be able to sing with Journey - he must have been over the moon. Congratulations, Richard!
I remember, over a decade ago, another incredible voice was discovered on a national talent show (Susan Boyle) and how Happy I was for her. Tonight, I could not be more happy for Richard! He, like Susan, are very humble average people that were likely overlooked based on their looks, confidence and stereotyping over their many years. Both are incredible talents and the World is a much better place when their God given talents are shared with the World. What a wonderful and talented man! May God bless Richard in his new marriage, life and singing career.
why are they so kind? Do you really think they are doing this to be kind? It's great publicity for this band and great exposure to a new generation of fans. Journey is doing this for themselves not for Richard.
Our Hometown of Terre Haute is soooo proud, your are so humble, set wonderful example for everyone!!! Congrates to you and Angie what a way to start your life path! Dreams can come true n singing w Journey😂🎉🎉❤❤
He made me believe in dreams coming true again. I have felt like giving up on my weight loss journey, but i feel it can be possible now. I look up to him and truly believe he changed lives across America with him reaching for the stars and telling us to never stop believing.
Neil Schon you can just know he still has it those first riffs sent chills i saw them in the early 80s .Neil your better than ever .Legendary Guitarist he owns that song ...
I've been watching this since he started in his performance audition with a quality of his voice like a genuine singer, and now he is a BIG Winner of AGT. God will always bless u Mr. Richard Goodall. your journey in your work as janitor is now a big journey. And now you are member of Journey Congratulations Sir Richard.
Congratulations to Richard! This performance was absolutely exciting! I felt as if I were at a live concert. Richard sounded incredible! He had a super star appearance. I appreciated his authenticity. What a honor to perform with Journey! The musicians are phenomenal!
This is the perfect example of living a dream! I am so very happy for Richard. Only a few actually get to LIVE their dream. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
That was awesome!! Thank you Journey. Time to start believing you will go all the way!! Routing for you Richard. ❤ Good luck to you and Angie on your new "journey" together 💕
That is SOOOOO awesome of Journey to do this! What a dream come true.

Shows the class and self-confidence of a great band !
For sure they are Class...
this performance is going to go down in history
Wth are you doing commenting on this, sweet surprise
It sure will !!!
You know it’s good when a Streaming Service comments.
Richard really could have auditioned for Journey back when Steve left. I believe he has a better tone and pitch than their current singer.
@@lemonon7149no he doesnt, shut up

SERIOUSLY! that will be the single coolest moment for him and his family and their future legacy. What a moment!!!!!
Couldnt have said it better myself !! 🎉
I'm like WHAT!! What a legend Journey to perform beside Richard. Double win. Wow😊from New Zealand. Thankyou
See that, he won out of emotion, people voted for him because AGT decided to publish his story. That's not fair.
I bet they will have him back again!!
Journey…..you guys displayed absolute class letting an ordinary man sing an extraordinary song with you.
Ele é sensacional é pura emoção ❤❤❤
Richard is Ordinary no more !

Love this!!
Great visual!♥️😊
Your comment brought tears to my eyes

Journey is so over-hyped, but it's nothing compared to the unbelievable gushing over this janitor. He is not that good and on this song, he sounds terrible. Everyone who is going crazy for him: would you pay to see him in concert? Would you buy his record? I can't imagine anyone paying to see him in concert (without Journey). He has no stage presence and his voice is just not that good or interesting.
@@lisakeith9359I unfortunately have to agree with you about the stage presence. Yes he is in tune and the pitch is okay but he just doesn't have that "zing."
@@kyleelvis3577 also Arnel......
You’re comparing Richard to Arnel ? Geez.. wake up everyone…
The most iconic night in history of AGT
HOLY HELL IT'S FREAKING JOURNEY::::: AND THE 2024 AGT WINNER 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Richard!!!!! Don't EVER "Stop Believing" because you have just been blessed as the 2024 AGT SUPERSTAR winner!! And dreams sometime DO come true! Thrilled for your journey. You are amazing. Congratulations on your marriage to Angie. Shine brightly, you incredible STAR!!!!
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on AGT! Thanks Journey!! Congrats, Richard!
What a great moment for this gentleman. Even if the 70s & 80s bands don't look like they once did or aren't out touring anymore, there's a reason they "won't go away." It's cuz they stand the test of time. They just don't make 'em like they used to! Gen X really was lucky to grow up w/these bands.
Well said, ❤❤❤
Journey is still touring! Sadly not with Steeve Perry but with Arnel. Would be awesome for them to do with this guy what Queen did with Adam Lambert! Also still touring!
Arnel is really good, though. I think he's the best lead singer they've had since Perry left! Even in their newest album, it feels like an album that was actually MADE in the 80s! They're sticking with who they are and giving us what we want. I can't think of any other album recorded today that sounds like it was made in the 80s!
You go, Richard!!!!! Thanks to Neal Schon and Journey for being there with him! Congratulations to the Love birds on their nuptials!
Exceptional performance. Journey comes alive. An iconic band, iconic song, and iconic performance.
What a way to end the AGT singing together with his idols And winning the AGT. You nailed it all Richard ❤❤❤
Tangkhul😂
Journey, you made Richard's day. Thank you! 😉👍
History is done in AGT ! with Richard Goodall and Journey !
Música linda vocês são incríveis ❤❤❤
Richard sings for the common people. The ones who would love to be a superstar but do the jobs that need to be done. He is one of US Proud of you Richard
💯 nailed it man.
Underdog should not have won….so many talented acts this year..this is total B S
@@MaryPennington-v7b hahahahaha.. wake up.. he dserved this win ..
@@scottsyoutubevideos guess you just don’t get it….. they were so much incredible talent on that show this year. And he just wasn’t one of them. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Neal Schon has always been this cool and giving with the public. Back in the 1980s, he used to show up at a small
club in Studio City, CA called Sasch's. He, Mick Fleetwood and other Professionals played for the love of it, basically, and they would invite any singers from the crowd to show up and give it a go with them. I always love Neal and Mick for this treasure. So, its no surprise to me that Neal showed up for this guy. He's always been about that. Love me some Neal Schon !!!
That’s a really cool story, no sarcasm at all. Not a bleeding heart liberal at all, but we should ALL pay it back when we can.
Thanks for sharing this lovely story!
@@charlesford2888Richard Goodall went back to Indiana after the Gold Buzzer and set up a scholarship at the high school for singers and musicians!!!
Neal Shone, an incredible person and still bringing it most excellently. He and Steve Perry were, are down in history. So great to see this Journey! ❤❤❤ Richard Goodall living his dream.
Man , I’m so happy for Richard Goodall , like others have said , this is what AGT is all about! Having a talented guy like him that wanted to see share his gifts finally get the chance to, and look at the blessing! His life will never be the same, and I’m sure the kids at school will miss him but are so proud of him !
I love how he went and SLAYED that high note in front of effin Journey and got a fist bump from Neil for it. Just damn living the dream. WOW what a night. Just fantastic.
So true...
And NO ONE gets a fish bump from Neal Schon...
No one 😍
fish???
@deanb024 how do you know??
@@lisakeith9359
I see that you missed the joke...
I have been a huge Journey fan from the start. I closed my eyes while listening to this and it is the same as listening to the original song with Steve Perry. I am shocked and overwhelmed that someone else actually sounds that close to Perry's voice. The Journey band playing behind Richard with every note perfect is a once in a lifetime moment that will never be recreated. This is one the best things to happen in music history for AGT. Sweeping floors and dreaming of singing with Journey...now this man is a legend. Thank you, Journey... for kindness and support backing Richard, because the fans everywhere still love you.
Don't ever stop believing. DREAMS DO COME TRUE. You did it Richard. I can't stop smiling. JUST WHAT WE NEEDED.
This is antisemitic
@@Squadron_Bodron Get a life, clown.
Thank you journey for taking time to show your support with Richard amazing performance and agt's new winner
Andiamo … farmi piangere così … a 38 anni … hai un dono immenso meriti felicità amore e tanta gioia! Dall’Italia
Richard did that song proud! Steve, Jon and Neal must be so proud!
Having Neal put his hand on him says amazing man and I am proud to be here for him, is a crowning pointing to a guy singing for kids and help keep the school clean. He sings from the heart and emotion truely amazing.
Thanks Neal and Journey for backing up Richard. Congratulations on your marriage and let's win AGT!
I love to see superstars do something as classy as what Journey just did for Richard. They should invite Richard to perform this song with them on tour because he nailed it! Good luck Richard and congrats for your wedding.
they dint' do it for Richard. They did it for themselves for publicity & exposure.
@@guitarexpert2245 brother, they don't need that after so many years of journey.
@@gabrieldossantos3282 Really. Everyone wants money when appearing on TV. there is too much money being made for them not to get paid. Get real dude.
2.9m views and I’m about 1,000 of those! Can’t get enough of this awesome and emotional performance.❤
congrats Richard such a humble man, im so happy he won 🥳🥳!!
Thanks Neil and Journey for supporting this amazing man!!
Really you're thanking them? they are NOT supporting him it's great exposure for Journey. That's the reason.
Says it all the best band ever
Anyone else keep coming back to watch this again? As a MASSIVE Journey fan & a huge fan of Richard, this was amazing!!
10th time
Man!!! I got chills watching NEAL! KILLED IT! I LOVE JOURNEY! RICHARD! THIS HOOSIER CONGRATULATES U! DONT STOP BELIEVING!!!! THE SONG U STARTED WITH U ENDED WITH AND LOOK WHO ELSE APPRECIATES U! FREAKING JOURNEY AND NEAL OMG!!! U song that song and believed it all this time and now ur a MILLIONAIRE!!!
What a feel good story. God picked this gentleman out to share his gift with all of us. Amazing!
Yes, one of my exercise songs ❤
God is a pigment of your imagination, but nice sentiment anyway.
He really doesn't have a great gift. His voice is mediocre at best and he has no creativity or imagination to do something interesting with the song.
@@lisakeith9359 Your shallow comment is mediocre at best.
@@lisakeith9359He is a great gift for the world at this time! Your comment reveals your own heart! I pray for you!
Neil Schoen fist bumping Richard Mid guitar solo was such a class act.
From a high school janitor to singing with the actual band, the Journey (pun intended) is amazing for Richard.
Don't Stop Believin', Richard.
I love this guy. He showed me to never give up and never stop believing
Tis made me cryyyy not only its my favorite song it the way he sang it n the guitarist oh muh ghaddd richard i loove you for this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How wonderful of Journey to take a part in letting this talented yet humble man fulfill his dreams! AWESOME!
Love for Richard from Terre Haute, IN, where the man himself lives. My mother's a pianist and has had the honor of playing along with Richard a handful of times when he would sing at some of the local churches.
Journey needs to ask Richard to be their lead singer. He definitely brought life to that song.
I usually bypass these videos, but I've been enthralled with Richard and his road to this point. So happy for him, regardless of the final results, I think he would agree he's already won. This IS winning. What a great story, this is exactly what these shows should be about. Real people with real talent who would otherwise never have the exposure. Good for you, Richard. Good for you. ❤
Time to start believing!!!! Soooooo awesome seeing this full circle moment for Richard Goodall.
This is definitely a legendary moment, wow. To get any band members together after such a long time is a feat within itself, but to also find someone who sounds so similar to the original vocalist after 40 years is a miracle.
I can only imagine what he'd sound like with his teeth fixed, as that is really a handicap when it comes to anything speech related. Hope his winning AGT got him the treatment he deserves, and can't wait to hear him in future. That first audition, even the first word, was unforgettable.
This brought me to tears, and the fist bump from Neal, well that was the icing on the cake; we'll done you guys. I can't put into words what I feel as I'm watching this; sooooooo many emotions. When Journey came out with this song I was in my early 20's, and have loved it all these years. NEAL IS A PHENOMENON 🤩 I HAVE TO SAY I DO MISS STEVE PERRY-----HE WAS THE BEST.😍
This just shows Neal and Journey believed in Richard too! This is so wonderful! 🎉 Congratulations!
Richard deserves everything coming his way. He's an amazing human being!
This look on Richard, you just know it that he's a star! it shows, he can feel how big he is and yet he manages to stay so humble! good for him
I really loved how his confidence has grew since the first audition, he's an inspiration
What got me, when Richard first auditioned, beyond the stunning voice we weren't expecting, is how many people knew this song. This song came out when I was a kid! To see the entire audience, of all ages, all backgrounds, knowing this song and rocking out to this song during the audition, was incredible. For him to be able to sing with Journey - he must have been over the moon. Congratulations, Richard!
I had hoped Journey would have seen his performances and get in touch with him! Just amazing! I’m sure this was a dream come true for him. ❤
I remember, over a decade ago, another incredible voice was discovered on a national talent show (Susan Boyle) and how Happy I was for her. Tonight, I could not be more happy for Richard! He, like Susan, are very humble average people that were likely overlooked based on their looks, confidence and stereotyping over their many years. Both are incredible talents and the World is a much better place when their God given talents are shared with the World. What a wonderful and talented man! May God bless Richard in his new marriage, life and singing career.
Very well said GOD'S gift to the world ❤❤❤❤❤!!!
Yes, but Susan Boyle has an incredible voice; Richard does not.
This needs to be in a movie 🎉🎉❤❤❤such a beautiful real story 😍 😩 ❤️ 😭
É pura emoção sensacional!!❤❤❤❤
Journey, you are so gracious! May God bless you for being so kind!
why are they so kind? Do you really think they are doing this to be kind? It's great publicity for this band and great exposure to a new generation of fans. Journey is doing this for themselves not for Richard.
@@guitarexpert2245 Sorry, Heidi Klum and 174 people agree with me.
@@sharonsolana Dude, get real. It's TV, it's exposure for the band. Also they are probably getting paid too. kind is NOT the reason.
@@guitarexpert2245 Well, we believe Journey is being kind and gracious.
I understand that you do not believe Journey is being kind and gracious.
Our Hometown of Terre Haute is soooo proud, your are so humble, set wonderful example for everyone!!! Congrates to you and Angie what a way to start your life path! Dreams can come true n singing w Journey😂🎉🎉❤❤
He made me believe in dreams coming true again. I have felt like giving up on my weight loss journey, but i feel it can be possible now. I look up to him and truly believe he changed lives across America with him reaching for the stars and telling us to never stop believing.
He has turned into a showman right before our eyes.
Neil Schon you can just know he still has it those first riffs sent chills i saw them in the early 80s .Neil your better than ever .Legendary Guitarist he owns that song ...
I've been watching this since he started in his performance audition with a quality of his voice like a genuine singer, and now he is a BIG Winner of AGT. God will always bless u Mr. Richard Goodall. your journey in your work as janitor is now a big journey. And now you are member of Journey Congratulations Sir Richard.
So incredible!!! Journey making Richards dreams come true. I bet Richard is singing at one of their shows soon. Much love and hugs to Richard.
Congratulations to Richard! This performance was absolutely exciting! I felt as if I were at a live concert. Richard sounded incredible! He had a super star appearance. I appreciated his authenticity. What a honor to perform with Journey! The musicians are phenomenal!
This is the perfect example of living a dream! I am so very happy for Richard. Only a few actually get to LIVE their dream. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
He is America's newest sweetheart. Congrats richard! I've loved you from the start!
Things like this don’t happen in many places in the world. America’s a great place to follow your dreams to
What about Israel? It's the greatest country in the world.
This is the most memorable season of the History of AGT..🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻
That was awesome!! Thank you Journey. Time to start believing you will go all the way!! Routing for you Richard. ❤ Good luck to you and Angie on your new "journey" together 💕
One of the great acts ever on AGT. And I am so proud of Journey coming to perform with him!
