I am so pleased that they did convince Richard to make the trip and follow his dream. I think his life is going to be changed forever now that he's been seen and heard on AGT. Come on Richard go on and win the whole thing. You can do it!!! 🎤🎤🎤🥇🥇🥇❤❤❤
In all the years of this show this is by far my favourite surprise performance! 🎉 He so deserves it. He is incredible. I rarely watch anymore because so many acts are "professional amateurs". They just make the rounds going from show to show to show. This guy is what the show was originally when it was good.
Fun facts; He first sang this at his school and it got posted to Instagram where Steve Perry saw it and was blown away. Everybody is pulling for Richard, live shows in August. And Angie is a hottie, you go boy!
Fun fact: Howie also saw the viral video of Richard singing and commented Richard should go on AGT. That's why howies had a huge smile when he saw Richard
Since his audition I have watched his video over and over and probably a 100 times. Each time I watched the video my emotions would runaway with me and I would begin to cry. He is an amazing person and I wish him well
Everyone forgets that those of us in our 50s and 60s were going once! We're 80s kids! This is just one sample of iconic songs from our teenage years that lasted forever. I remember when it was released. I was 11 years old and loved Steve Perry! Richard wasn't a 55 year old man in 1981 when this iconic song was released. He was a 12 year old boy, with his Radio Shack 80s boom box, discovering music as a 6th or 7th grader.
To me, the best part is this is a humble man with an amazing talent. Completely unassuming person without any kind of cockiness which made it come across as a genuine down to earth individual. Looking forward to his next performance and maybe another BrittReacts to that performance.
I have watched this video so many times. It was amazing to me how Mr Richard went from nervous to in his element when the music started. And Simon's jaw dropping!
Thank you, Britt! Your comments about “no matter who you are, or what you’re feeling, God will try and give you what you can handle” really made my day, and were much appreciated/needed.
You hit on an important thing: the man did NOT oversell it AT ALL. He didn't dance, he barely even moved. He just stood there and let his voice do all the work, which is something only really good performers know how to do. Absolutely miraculous.
I moved to this town for college so i missed knowing him personally but all my friends who grew up here have nothing but good to say about the gentleman. I was so happy to see him succeed.
I am so thrilled that you brought the wonder of God into your conversation about Richard's performance. You are also a reflection of His Grace in the reviews you do. Thank you for your humanity on display, it is a wonderful example for all to aspire to. Bless you and your subscribers.
@@brittreacts There was an 11 year boy on this show about 4 or 5 years ago whose story was heartbreaking 💔 too and he also received the Golden Buzzer. His name is Tyler Butler Figueroa and I would be so pleased if you could one day react to his story. Thank you and have a blessed night❣️
What I love about him is everyone in that room was up dancing and singing. Because they recognize the voice and he was spot on. Richard probably has done small gigs before when he mentioned a long time coming. This was his chance and in front of people who would judge him. As you could see they gave him a 100% approval. That Golden Buzzer was the reward. Now he has a chance to show what he can really do. I’m rootin for him since I’m a custodian for schools😊😊
7:21 Right? When you can nail a song originally sang by by someone whose nickname is literally “The Voice,” (and maybe even better, because of the pure passion) you’ve won the game of life, no matter who/where your life is at. Both Richard and yourself are lovely human beings for recognizing that 🙂
Mr. Richard is a inspiration for the whole world! I am from Serbia 🇷🇸, and i love your reaction!❤ Richard, don't stop believing! Enjoy the journey!😊❤❤❤
Richard back in 2022 had a tick tok post of him singing to the kids in the auditorium of the school he works at for a sound check. Steve Perry himself commented on the post and said " I love this", it went viral very fast. Richard took a screenshot of the comment, posted it on his tik tok and pinned it saying in captions, "Are you kidding me??". Since that comment his singing career has taken flight. Richard is gonna win AGT 2024, i have no doubt. Thank you Britt for reacting to this AGT Audition, i appreciate it. @BrittReacts
He's a great natural talent. He's probably sang this song for the past 43 years and has perfected it to a "T". I hope he goes far in this competition and finds the confidence and validation to break through any walls that may have held him back for so long.
Thank you for listening to Richard he did an amazing job on the Steve Perry song the voice and for saying how God gives us what we need and will use it to show others the gift he has given us.❤
What a fantastic reaction, full of raw emotion. I cannot wait to see what Richard has to offer in the live shows but I bet it’s going to be worth waiting for. Love and Blessings to everyone out there ❤
You're right, kids don't lie! Aside from the fantabulous singing, I can't decide which moment I like better...Simon's jaw drop or big ol' Terry Crewes jumping up and down like an excited kid at Christmas! I can't stop watching reactors discovering him! It's so GOOD!💙
The song that they played after Richard sang was “ Turn The Lights Back On” ,the brand new song by Billy Joel, so perfect for the montage and the golden buzzer moment! It’s a song that Billy helped write and he recorded it and released it after someone talked Billy out of not making new music anymore, he performed it at the end of the Grammys this year. So perfect for Richard Goodall’s story…
I normally don't post, Richard was Fantastic, but I sincerely enjoy watching this with you. You are adorable!! I'm a retired senior citizen 😂. This was my generation, but loved, loved my visit with you. May our Lord continue to bless you richly.
I’am a long time AGT fan and there’s been stories that captivates you but this one really sheds you tears but tear of joy for this man, go Richard we all are rooting for you 👏
What he done was fearless, no one attemps Journey songs because Steve Perry ( The Voice). His bar is just set too high . But on a scale of 10, he gets a 9. Outstanding preformence.
Hi Britt... you're so right. This has been by far one of your best reactions and comments on a performance. Talent is a God given gift that doesn't recognize color, age, gender or anything else and we should learn to see it that way. Like you said, music will heal us all. God bless you.
In the day 15 of June 2024 my mother passed away at 92 yrs old and every time i see Richard Goodall video i cry because life is full of happiness and sadness at the same time.
This song.....there was a study on it and apparently at any time on any day you can find it being played at a radio station somewhere. The most well recognized American song on the planet.
Love your reaction video. I must tell you the first thing I noticed was your shirt. Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!! Kindness costs you nothing but so many people deserve it. Thank you for wearing it.
You really are so good in your reviews. Love your emotions not just here but others like Sydney. Just retired, I'm 69, and watching all the different reactors-you truly are the best. Praise the Lord...
I was crying when I saw it on the show, and I was crying right along with you during this reaction!!! And I loved your reaction, and for that, you have a new subscriber!!!
I love how real you are! So many other reactions, and you telegraphed that you already knew he was going to do good. But waited to break it down. Ps what your shirt says, has always been my motto! It costs zero dollars to be kind! Love it!
So many people hear that he's 55 years old as though he's ancient. We aren't ancient, we may be grandparents, but we are 80s kids! Richard was 12 years old when this song was released (I was 11) in the fall of 1981. WE were in middle school (junior high back then - 7th. 8th, & 9th grades). We all were listening to music on our Radio Shack 'boom boxes' in the early 80s! (Believe it or not, your parents and grandparents were young, fun, and annoying once too! That's how we know what you are going to do before you do. 😂) You are so right - if 13 year olds tell you that you can really sing, you can sing. 8th geaders will tell you that you are awful and not care. There is no one better in school than when you become buddies with the janitor. They know EVERYTHING that is happening in the school. He's seen at least two generations of students. I loved this and so happy for him!!! ❤❤
Love your reactions to Richard Goodall with your sincerity, passion, and enthusiasm. ❤
He's my grandson's janitor the kids love him. They kids had to talk him into auditioning.
They are some lucky kids to have him.
I am so pleased that they did convince Richard to make the trip and follow his dream. I think his life is going to be changed forever now that he's been seen and heard on AGT. Come on Richard go on and win the whole thing. You can do it!!! 🎤🎤🎤🥇🥇🥇❤❤❤
@@christopherrichardson5352 Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. Was the voice of Frank Sinatra. He won bigly. He washed cars.
@@christopherrichardson5352. And now he is inspiring those kids to do the same thing❣️
He's not their janitor anymore
I love richard,he is representing our small town in Indiana. He is loved by so many kids. ❤
In all the years of this show this is by far my favourite surprise performance! 🎉 He so deserves it. He is incredible. I rarely watch anymore because so many acts are "professional amateurs". They just make the rounds going from show to show to show. This guy is what the show was originally when it was good.
I am glad he did the audition now he'll be out here forever God really Blessed him my favorite song and Richard did it ausome !!!!
I cried as well. What a genuine person. He is my hero. And he is so sweet. And he sang that song perfectly. I watch his performance every day.
Fun facts; He first sang this at his school and it got posted to Instagram where Steve Perry saw it and was blown away. Everybody is pulling for Richard, live shows in August. And Angie is a hottie, you go boy!
Wow!
Fun fact: Howie also saw the viral video of Richard singing and commented Richard should go on AGT. That's why howies had a huge smile when he saw Richard
Like you
I am Australian
Incredible voice. One of the hardest songs to duplicate vocally.
Anyone that didn't tear up on this one, has no heart! Love you girl, and your reaction to this audition!
Richard has already gone viral around the world. Utter brilliance
I've lost count of how many of these reactions ive watched. They still make me cry happy tears
Me too❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too ❤❤❤❤
Since his audition I have watched his video over and over and probably a 100 times. Each time I watched the video my emotions would runaway with me and I would begin to cry. He is an amazing person and I wish him well
He definitely hasn't stopped believing!! He has all of us believing...
Hi , I’m a 52 year old man and I cried the 1st time I watched this. All I can say is that man rocked the house!! ❤
Ditto!
Steve Perry saw this performance and called it amazing could you imagine Steve perry and Richard singing this together❤❤❤
It'll happen
That's amazing
I'd ❤to see that.
Yes Ma’am!!! ❤❤❤
WOW ! To sing this song takes massive talent and he has it.
I have a feeling that Richard is going to win. Fantastic voice. When i watched it i cried too.
He is ...wow! Your reactions to him are just so beautiful and real!❤🙏😊

His level of humility is the only thing better than his incredible voice!
@@wolfepakt 100% agreed.
Richard Goodall is one of the best singer on agt 20/24.i watch his video whenever I open my mobile fon.(with love from india).
I have watched this video so many times. It was amazing to me how Mr Richard went from nervous to in his element when the music started.
And Simon's jaw dropping!
I watched this and I still cried watching you react to it. When they sing it from the heart, it will show.
Was wonderful to see your heartfelt reaction. He sounds just like Steve Perry. And Simon did a great job in making him feel less nervous.
I've seen it several times now and I cry every dang time!
Thank you, Britt! Your comments about “no matter who you are, or what you’re feeling, God will try and give you what you can handle” really made my day, and were much appreciated/needed.
Richard sings awesome! Beautiful voice and 😊👍🎤🎶🎵
You hit on an important thing: the man did NOT oversell it AT ALL. He didn't dance, he barely even moved. He just stood there and let his voice do all the work, which is something only really good performers know how to do. Absolutely miraculous.
He is absolutely amazing. That is a ridiculously difficult song to sing and he absolutely NAILED IT!
He hit the B4 note.
I moved to this town for college so i missed knowing him personally but all my friends who grew up here have nothing but good to say about the gentleman. I was so happy to see him succeed.
Someone posted a side by side video of him and the actual singer, and they sound almost exactly the same, it's amazing
That’s worth a reaction too🤓😻
I saw that…amazing
I saw that amazing
He does not sound like Steve Perry what a dumb comment
I watched that also it was like he swallowed the original artist!
His AGT video has been running nearly 1 million views per day.
Love your reaction!
You were right about Simon being so kind at the beginning. Great t-shirt choice for this reaction!
So hope he wins it all! Such talent. And yes, he sounds so close to Steven Perry
God did bless him with such amazing talent.
Oh man, what a story. I love it! Richard is really fantastic. What a voice!
Macie powód, żeby być dumnym z takiego talentu.
Nie tylko Ameryka kocha Richarda.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so thrilled that you brought the wonder of God into your conversation about Richard's performance. You are also a reflection of His Grace in the reviews you do. Thank you for your humanity on display, it is a wonderful example for all to aspire to. Bless you and your subscribers.
Thank you so much 🥹 God is so good!
@@brittreacts There was an 11 year boy on this show about 4 or 5 years ago whose story was heartbreaking 💔 too and he also received the Golden Buzzer. His name is Tyler Butler Figueroa and I would be so pleased if you could one day react to his story. Thank you and have a blessed night❣️
I hope Richard sees all these comments.. what an amazing voice and talent and humble man!
He is amazing I agree with all you said. A man with humility and grace.
That man is an inspiration to every gifted person who has been in the shadows for too long. All the best to you, Richard. Live the dream.
Awesome rendition to a timeless song love his personal touch at the same time reminiscent of Steve Perry. Bravo!!
What I love about him is everyone in that room was up dancing and singing. Because they recognize the voice and he was spot on. Richard probably has done small gigs before when he mentioned a long time coming. This was his chance and in front of people who would judge him. As you could see they gave him a 100% approval. That Golden Buzzer was the reward. Now he has a chance to show what he can really do. I’m rootin for him since I’m a custodian for schools😊😊
Love, love, love your reactions, Britt. You are so genuine and infectious. Richard has a crazy, amazing voice.
7:21 Right? When you can nail a song originally sang by by someone whose nickname is literally “The Voice,” (and maybe even better, because of the pure passion) you’ve won the game of life, no matter who/where your life is at. Both Richard and yourself are lovely human beings for recognizing that 🙂

I've watched so many reactions to Richard❤

Mr. Richard is a inspiration for the whole world! I am from Serbia 🇷🇸, and i love your reaction!❤ Richard, don't stop believing! Enjoy the journey!😊❤❤❤
He is incredible. Your emotion was so touching!! 😊😊
Richard was the Bomb!! 🔥 🔥 Your school kids are proud, and so are we!! Yes, God is good All the time 💯
40 thousand views per hour. Unbelievable!!! A masterpiece of a performance. A kind gentle unassuming, unpretentious, person. Wow,Wow,Wow… 😂 😮 😊 👏 👏 👏

Thank you for listening to Richard he did an amazing job on the Steve Perry song the voice and for saying how God gives us what we need and will use it to show others the gift he has given us.❤
Someone in terre haute made a gofundme so angie can go with him next time and they raised over 19k
What a fantastic reaction, full of raw emotion. I cannot wait to see what Richard has to offer in the live shows but I bet it’s going to be worth waiting for. Love and Blessings to everyone out there ❤
The Billy Joel song in the background just makes it more tear jerking.
This guy is GOOOOD!!!
You're right, kids don't lie! Aside from the fantabulous singing, I can't decide which moment I like better...Simon's jaw drop or big ol' Terry Crewes jumping up and down like an excited kid at Christmas! I can't stop watching reactors discovering him! It's so GOOD!💙
He is so very awesome! I am sure Steve Perry is so very proud! Love your reaction!

So perfect for Richard Goodall’s story…
That last note was the keynote in the song that was the hardest to hold it came pretty close he did well somebody blessed that guy Blessing
It's true about the saying "The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune". As a 52 year from Ireland delighted for Richard, brilliant song.
He's 100% on pitch on style on everything with Steve Perry. It's uncanny. How accurate he is to Perry
That's greate moom, I wish Richard will be succes for his carrier. I love it couse he his a humble man.
How badly I hope he make it to the final and Steve Perry and Journey join him as a semi reniounion of Journey and sing this song together.
From your lips to God's ear!
I love your reaction. I love this song and Steve Perry and now love Richard ❤
You ain't lyin. Middle School kids are brutal.
I normally don't post, Richard was Fantastic, but I sincerely enjoy watching this with you. You are adorable!! I'm a retired senior citizen 😂. This was my generation, but loved, loved my visit with you. May our Lord continue to bless you richly.
I’am a long time AGT fan and there’s been stories that captivates you but this one really sheds you tears but tear of joy for this man, go Richard we all are rooting for you 👏
From Indiana too.First time heard this,I was impressed.
Richard, be proud of who you are and all of the joy you have and are giving all of us. Your school children will remember you for decades to come.
What he done was fearless, no one attemps Journey songs because Steve Perry ( The Voice). His bar is just set too high . But on a scale of 10, he gets a 9. Outstanding preformence.
on his age factor 10.
Richard is America's Susan Boyle...what a wonderful surprise.
Sweet humble people are often the nicest people, heartfull audition🙏❤️
Absolutely love your honest heart felt reactions don't we all wish we could have just one moment like this amazing
Hi Britt... you're so right. This has been by far one of your best reactions and comments on a performance. Talent is a God given gift that doesn't recognize color, age, gender or anything else and we should learn to see it that way. Like you said, music will heal us all. God bless you.

This is by far my favorite reaction to Richard, Britt you are adorable!
What a great one! Goosebumbs! Richard is someone to watch! By the way Britt; i love your shirt! ❤ kindness is so important in life!
Yes! Thank you!
This song.....there was a study on it and apparently at any time on any day you can find it being played at a radio station somewhere. The most well recognized American song on the planet.
Never judge a book by its cover!
I cried before he sang and smiled through the whole performance and cried like a baby afterwards 😭😂❤️🔥
Same here.
Guess I have to thank Richard for leading me to this reaction video.z what a delightful young lady this is. I'm sure I'll watch more if her stuff
Love your reaction video. I must tell you the first thing I noticed was your shirt. Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!! Kindness costs you nothing but so many people deserve it. Thank you for wearing it.
i feel like he could easily be the voice of an animated movie for a character that sings very easily
You’re beautiful Britt, inside beats a true feeling heart and soul. Thank you for all you do. ❤
I just subscribed! You go girl! God is good, so are you and so is Richard! #300k
You really are so good in your reviews. Love your emotions not just here but others like Sydney.
Just retired, I'm 69, and watching all the different reactors-you truly are the best.
Praise the Lord...
Richard wow amasing wow hes got a voice and yes Britt God is good❤
Young Lady, you yourself are amazing 👏 for the kind words that you have said about him. An for us older generation. Thank you 😊
You are so amazing and beautiful inside and outside !!!
I love watching your reactions !!
As a former middle school mathematics teacher, I agree. I’ve been brutally told off many times.
Raging hormones all dressed up and no place to go. Puberty is a crazy time for them at that age.
I was crying when I saw it on the show, and I was crying right along with you during this reaction!!! And I loved your reaction, and for that, you have a new subscriber!!!
I love how real you are! So many other reactions, and you telegraphed that you already knew he was going to do good. But waited to break it down. Ps what your shirt says, has always been my motto! It costs zero dollars to be kind! Love it!
You're very kind person thank you be blessed❤
So many people hear that he's 55 years old as though he's ancient. We aren't ancient, we may be grandparents, but we are 80s kids!
Richard was 12 years old when this song was released (I was 11) in the fall of 1981.
WE were in middle school (junior high back then - 7th. 8th, & 9th grades).
We all were listening to music on our Radio Shack 'boom boxes' in the early 80s!
(Believe it or not, your parents and grandparents were young, fun, and annoying once too! That's how we know what you are going to do before you do. 😂)
You are so right - if 13 year olds tell you that you can really sing, you can sing. 8th geaders will tell you that you are awful and not care. There is no one better in school than when you become buddies with the janitor. They know EVERYTHING that is happening in the school. He's seen at least two generations of students.
I loved this and so happy for him!!! ❤❤
