“They said my name and flipped it open while I was waiting there. Whoa! The confetti drops. Holding the card that AGT host Terry Cruz used to declare the winner, Richard Goodall exclaimed, “Magic.”
It has taken a while to hear his name. In the spring, Goodall began the audition process. Everything started when a video of him singing to West Vigo pupils was uploaded on Tik Tok. Among those who witnessed it was AGT judge Howie Mandell.
Howie Mandell stated from the AGT red carpet, “When I saw him, when he stepped on our stage, you felt the love that not only I had for him, but the hope he would win.” “You just knew that everyone at home would feel the same strong urge to cast a ballot.”
And voters did. He ranked #1 according to viewer votes. That same engaging charisma won over other judges as well.
“In the competition, he made such progress. America grew to love him. the actual individual. the actual dream. After today, his life will change,” AGT Judge Sophia Vigara remarked.
“I get chills just thinking about him singing on that stage,” the person said. It truly is lovely. He has a lovely voice. He’s really delicious, Heidi Klum, an AGT judge, continued.
Goodall expressed gratitude to WTWO on the red carpet for sharing his trip.
“You guys have supported me the entire way,” “You guys have supported me throughout the entire process,” grinned Goodall.
Additionally, he commended the Wabash Valley residents for their unwavering support.
“Wabash Valley, Terre Haute, Indiana, is appreciated. In an emotional moment, Goodall bowed his head and murmured, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Goodall mentioned that one of her “top shelf” bucket list items was to sing with the band “Journey.”
Regarding his future goals, he mentioned going back to work as a school janitor for a short spell. In addition, he mentioned wanting to purchase a home with his wife Angie. Despite having strong ties to Terre Haute, he admitted that he could consider purchasing a home in Florida as he dislikes the harsh Indiana winters.
