Richard Goodall might’ve saved the best to last, as the 55-year-old singer competed in the finals of America’s Got Talent
The AGT season 19 fan-favorite, Goodall stood and delivered a cover of Journey’s 1983 song “Faithfully,” a Billboard Hot 100 hit lifted from the Rock Hall-inducted band’s album Frontiers.
Wearing an all-black ensemble, with a black flat-cap, Goodall belted out the ballad, with support from a full band — and nailed all the high-notes.
As his performance came to a close, Goodall was saluted with a standing ovation from the entire room, including the four judges.
“You are such an amazing man, you are so humble, you’re so kind,” Heidi Klum remarked. “You’re also a little bit quiet, but not when you’re behind the microphone. Then you’re a big rockstar.” She added, “I want you to win this so bad, Richard.”
Simon Cowell weighed in, “I could feel the energy behind me. Honestly, from the minute you came on the show.” We all “need a hero right now and you are our hero.”
Howie Mandel made a bold prediction: “I think you just sang yourself $1 million”.
