It was a momentous occasion for him, as he flew on a plane for the first time to get to his audition. Backstage, he shared with host Terry Crews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>I\u2019m not a fancy person. I take out the trash, I wipe off the tables, I sweep the floors \u2014 I\u2019m just having fun, and I\u2019m trying to make people happy.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-81.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1490\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-81.png 1024w, http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-81-300x150.png 300w, http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-81-768x384.png 768w, http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-81-640x320.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodall felt understandably anxious as he stepped onto the stage, facing judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara. However, his nerves dissolved the moment he began to sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He aptly chose \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019\u201d by Journey for his audition piece, a song that highlighted his robust vocal ability and left both the judges and the audience spellbound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heidi Klum was particularly touched by Goodall\u2019s stirring performance, so much so that she chose to press the Golden Buzzer for him. Given that each judge may only use the Golden Buzzer once per season, this gesture underscored Klum\u2019s strong belief in Goodall\u2019s talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Richard Goodall Receives The GOLDEN BUZZER For &quot;Don&#039;t Stop Believin&#039;&quot; | Auditions | AGT 2024\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cffU0jSYJd8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Viewers at home were captivated by Goodall\u2019s performance, as evidenced by the nearly 8.3 million views on the official YouTube video of his Golden Buzzer moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AGT Janitor Embraces Sudden Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Golden Buzzer winner, Goodall bypasses the initial rounds and advances directly to the live shows, which commence on August 13. He now finds himself in the company of past notable Golden Buzzer recipients such as Darci Lynne, Angelina Jordan, Chapel Hart, and Nightbirde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the broadcast of his audition, Goodall appeared on WTWO and WAWV TV\u2019s Good Day Live to discuss his sudden rise to fame. He expressed his astonishment at the overwhelming response, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe support since the show aired has been incredible. I\u2019m overwhelmed and can\u2019t possibly respond to the thousands of messages I\u2019ve received.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"343\" src=\"http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-82.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1491\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-82.png 618w, http:\/\/dailygreenhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-82-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite millions having watched his performance, Goodall insists he remains unchanged by his AGT experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow could I possibly become a diva? That\u2019s just not me, and it\u2019s never going to be,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not a fancy person\u2014I never have been, and I never will be. I\u2019m just a regular guy like everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued, \u201cI am still the same person, working at West Vigo Middle School. It\u2019s hard to grasp how to reconcile that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodall also explained how he dealt with his nerves during the audition. \u201cI turned to my music. Listening to bands like Journey, Foreigner, and Survivor centers me, calms me, and reassures me that everything is going to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, everything did turn out okay after Goodall\u2019s brave decision to perform on AGT.
