Last week he was a janitor-known by a few hundred students/staff and today he's singing with Journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER stop believing in your dream. Way to go Richard!
Lol.. Also gotta have the talent... You seen those people on american idol and AGT? Many of them are delusional and have no talent... Some people are born gifted.. And some people are born dilusionals.
A friend of mine was in a band opening for Journey a couple of years ago, and we were backstage and I asked him how this tour was going. He said it was one of the best (out of 50 years!!) and would I like to meet Neil! HELL YES!!! Neil was absolutely one of the kindest souls I've ever met; quiet and humble and so gracious. He gave me as much time as I wanted and brought his wife out to greet me, too. Such a nice man, and showing up for Richard like this is now I realize, so typical of him.
There is something so undeniably special about Richard. It was the encouragement of the school kids that gave him the confidence to audition. Isn’t it amazing how some kind words can change people’s lives? Makes me want to point out the good I see in others, just so they know.
Journey was and has always been a class act, good people, Richard deserved to win this, now go live your dream Richard. But never forget where you came from, Be true, stay humble.
When Neal said in the package that he was coming to play with Richard for the finale he wasn’t gonna come alone that must’ve been really magical to be on stage with a iconic band like Journey
He won’t sing with Journey anymore. I wish he does surprise this man somewhere down the toad, but I don’t think he’ll ever share the stage with Neal Schindler again.
Go Richard Go, FLY HEIGHT! Thanks for reaching for your dreams! I'm 54, this proves to me anything is possible as long as we are still living. So cool Jorney came on the show. Our generation is not done yet.
Hat's off to Neil and Journey for doing something like this! You don't see things like that very often. I'm sure someone had to pull some strings to make that happen! Just so damn cool! Way to go guys! Richard was a little pitchy in a few spots, but hey, who wouldn't be! There you are, a janitor, singing on television, in front of America, with Journey! Atta boy Richard!
Good for him, that he won. But to maintain and sing professionally He could never do it. You could practice a song and be really good at it. But to sing bunch of Songs is hard but congratulations. And when you're with journey, you are gonna sound better They are pros.
@@garymartin1045 You don't speak for Richard Goodall, of what he can or can't do - that's his decision! The fact he came out - tried and won, speaks for itself!
@@joannedeborahchisholm9522 He wasn't speaking for Richard. He just made a very accurate point. Professional singing with a band of that caliber is grueling work. Not only the night after night pace, but the vocal chords cant't handle it. It takes a professional that knows how to maintain the voice. You may have noticed very few at his age can & it's only the top professionals that do. Not to knock him, he seems like a great guy, but doesn't look healthy enough for it.
I’m in Uganda, Africa. I’ve been at the lowest points of life several times, friends come, take and go, I’m a ‘family reject’ because at a certain time I wasn’t good enough. I’m Watching a 55+ old man finally making it at AGT, I won’t stop believing too, i can be with friends who will never leave, i can get a supportive family, i can be a darling somewhere and it doesn’t matter how long it takes, For all the pain I’m going through, I won’t stop believing😢.
Steve Perry set an unreachable standard, Arnel Pineda has protected the legacy, and Richard Goodall is doing every 80's teenager proud right now... got to live vicariously through him...
Watching this video, I trully believe Journey got as much fun out of this as Richard did. If you look at the smiles on their faces the whole time they were singing, they were having the time of their life. My hats off to you Richard, for doing what you want, and congratulations to winning AGT and getting married too. My you have a long life with your wife and wonderful career.
The confidence he has gained in this competition is wonderful to watch! I didn't think he could sing "Believing" better than the first time but he blew the roof off! What an amazing, genuine man and singer! I adore him!
Richard, I saw your audition on AGT. I was so moved by your audition. You've touched my heart. Since then I followed every performance you did on AGT by watching it on RUclips. Amazing things do happen as longs as you "don't stop believing". You definately deserved to be this seasons winner. Lots of love from the Netherlands
@6:36 "Ange I did it!" I cried.......lol I thought "Yo Adrian, I did it!" xoxo I love you Richard, you make me smile, laugh and cry all at the same time. Congratulations.
I am so happy that he won. I became a fan the first time I heard his song and his story. He deserves everything good that is happening to him. "Congratulations Richard"
In very rare occasions, life pay you back a good deal for all the pain you have suffered! Now Mr. Richard will keep that sweet taste beyond the times. Great singer. Well deserved.
I wish the runner up and her incredible, precious pup many , many wonderful things in life! Richard absolutely deserves the win!!! That voice belonged in Journey long ago! He has that sound that draws you in! May his humbleness, kindness and compassion never change. 💜
42 years ago I married a young man, just past his 18th birthday and this was one of our favorite, one of my most memorable song of my entire life. I love this song and I i love that Richard revived it.
I am like so happy right now! Iv'e always listened to Journey! Alway's will! They are so amazing to do something like this! I alway's knew they were are a great bunch of guy's and for them to do this make's my heart explode! You guy's are wonderful!!!!
He’s so happy !! This is wonderful to see a man his age get to live his dream. 1 in 10,000 people have perfect pitch. He is one of them. The ability to match these notes the way he does is a rare skill and he deserved to win
That was a phenomenal performance! So glad that Richard got to perform with his idols and that he won AGT!!! Richard is what the show is about… a normal everyday person with a dream. Richard may not be a “perfect” vocalist, but what rockstar has ever had a perfect vocal? It’s the heart and soul that counts, that connection to the audience…Richard has it in spades. ❤ That was just a hark back to Steve Perry’s time in Journey when times were about the music…. ❤
He is such a joy to listen to. He is a natural and to be able to sing in front of a huge crowd with the infamous Journey and be so relaxed is unbelievable. We are so proud of him!
Journey has to be a band of wonderful people, for them to do this . Loveed the whole show . Richard you are a wonderful person, God bless you and journey. Hugs
WOW! So amazing & well-deserved! Hits your heart in the best way! Congratulations to you Richard & your new Bride! Best wishes, love, and happiness always! Good luck in your new home also! 🎉❤
He’s got it! What a true gift!! I watched his every move on AGT this year and I am wowed!!!! Congratulations Richard Goodall you climbed that mountain 🏔 right to the top 🎉🍾🥇🏆🎤🎸🥳 Heidi knew he would win!!!
I thought it was so cool that journey did this for Richard! I realized it's good pub for the band as well but still... Epic iconic moment. Neil's fist bump with Richard in the middle of the song what's epic! I've been a journey fan since forever! I think because of this moment they moved into the number one spot as my all-time favorite!
I am so very happy for you, Richard❣️ you never gave up your talent of singing…loved all the Journey songs you sang! What I learned from you is that our lives may not be how we dreamed / planned but NEVER give up!!! I am in my 70’s now and you have given me a gift of “never stop believing”! Congratulations on your WIN…especially, your marriage to the love of your life❤️❤️
Dear Richard Goodall, Big congrats on winning AGT! Honestly, I’ve never been a huge fan of the show… until now! You’ve proven that God’s delays aren’t denials-it just took some time for the world to catch on to your magic! My life’s a journey too, and what keeps me going? Not stopping believing! Now, when are you coming to Uganda to serenade us? We need some of that Goodall magic here! Oh, and congrats on marrying your beautiful wife! Clearly, you're winning on all fronts! Cheers!
Imagine a man that has been singing these songs for his entire life, getting this opportunity to be on stage and singing lyrics that are etched on his soul, words that defined his youth, now vocalized in a way he never would have dreamed of and celebrated by more people than he could have hoped or dreamed of. Sometimes life is more surreal than we think.
Wow! I'm really so excited and happy for Richard Goodall! 🎉 To perform with his musican heros - and then to win the million. 🎉 Congrats for alles that and all the best for the fresh married couple. 💐
This was destined when Richard Goodall first performed on the AGT stage! Godspeed to you now and always! You auditioned, you got married, AND you realized a dream! "Don't Stop Believing" indeed! Truly inspiring! You performed live before the world with Journey...OMG! You nailed it, Richard! Rock on! My heartfelt best to you and your lovely bride!!
I love this man. By the way: 2024 is the first year I know of when you knew the competition was over after the Audition. Sydnie Christmas BGT---Abby Carter American Idol----Richard Goodall AGT
Máximo!!!!!! Máximo!!!!! Grande!!!! Grande!!!!!!.....y que respeto el de los jueces!!!! Grandioso.......todos de pie ante la banda!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤desde Venezuela!!!
Congrats Richard you deserve this win. I have been a fan from the very first of seeing you perform on AGT. I voted n voted n voted and so did a whole lot of people. Congrats to your marriage. Wishing you the very best life ever.
I believe this was one of the best years for this show I knew from the audition he would win. No question in my mind. He absolutely deserves everything life has to give.
Last week he was a janitor-known by a few hundred students/staff and today he's singing with Journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER stop believing in your dream. Way to go Richard!
And deserves everything he wants
This!!!!❤
Lol.. Also gotta have the talent... You seen those people on american idol and AGT? Many of them are delusional and have no talent... Some people are born gifted.. And some people are born dilusionals.
Still have dreams!!!
This is what people want to see on AGT. A small town everyday man who's talent gets to shine. I wish you all the best, Richard!

wtf do you mean Journey has always been a class act, look at Neal Schon/Jonathan cain feud
