During the highly anticipated premiere episode of the 19th season of "America's Got Talent," viewers were treated to an awe-inspiring performance by Richard Goodall, a 55-year-old janitor from Indiana. Goodall's rendition of Journey's iconic hit "Don't Stop Believin'" not only wowed the audience, but also earned him the coveted Golden Buzzer.

Prior to his audition, Goodall shared his journey with host Terry Crews, explaining how he stumbled upon his passion for singing after his talent was recognized by the children he worked with. Determined to showcase his skills, Goodall boarded a plane and landed on the "AGT" audition stage.

As he nervously took the stage, Goodall expressed that this moment had been a long time coming. However, the judges, including the notoriously honest Simon Cowell, offered words of encouragement, urging him to shake off his nerves.

From the first note, Goodall captivated the audience with his powerful performance. The judges were left astounded, with Cowell declaring Goodall as his hero. Howie Mandel, impressed by his 23 years of experience as a janitor, cheekily remarked that he had "cleaned up" with his performance.

Heidi Klum, visibly moved by Goodall's presence on stage, praised him for the pure joy he brought to the performance. In an emotional moment, Klum pressed the Golden Buzzer, instantly propelling Goodall into the live shows. Overcome with tears of joy, Goodall embraced the heartfelt recognition.

The impact of Goodall's audition extended beyond the "AGT" stage, as fans flooded the show's YouTube page with comments and praise for his exceptional talent. One comment expressed gratitude for being able to witness Goodall's remarkable voice and recalled their favorite moments hearing him sing in their elementary school hallway. Another viewer highlighted how his audition represented hope and inspiration for America.

Goodall's popularity is set to soar as the nation eagerly waits to see what he will perform next in the live shows. With his remarkable talent and endearing personality, he has become an instant favorite among fans and judges alike.

The 19th season of "America's Got Talent" promises to deliver more jaw-dropping moments and incredible talents, and with Goodall's Golden Buzzer-worthy performance, it's clear that the stage is set for an unforgettable season.
