\u201cThey said my name and flipped it open while I was waiting there. Whoa! The confetti drops. Holding the card that AGT host Terry Cruz used to declare the winner, Richard Goodall exclaimed, \u201cMagic.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has taken a while to hear his name. In the spring, Goodall began the audition process. Everything started when a video of him singing to West Vigo pupils was uploaded on Tik Tok. Among those who witnessed it was AGT judge Howie Mandell.<\/p>\n

Howie Mandell stated from the AGT red carpet, \u201cWhen I saw him, when he stepped on our stage, you felt the love that not only I had for him, but the hope he would win.\u201d \u201cYou just knew that everyone at home would feel the same strong urge to cast a ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

And voters did. He ranked #1 according to viewer votes. That same engaging charisma won over other judges as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the competition, he made such progress. America grew to love him. the actual individual. the actual dream. After today, his life will change,\u201d AGT Judge Sophia Vigara remarked.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\u201cI get chills just thinking about him singing on that stage,\u201d the person said. It truly is lovely. He has a lovely voice. He\u2019s really delicious, Heidi Klum, an AGT judge, continued.<\/p>\n

Goodall expressed gratitude to WTWO on the red carpet for sharing his trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys have supported me the entire way,\u201d \u201cYou guys have supported me throughout the entire process,\u201d grinned Goodall.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he commended the Wabash Valley residents for their unwavering support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWabash Valley, Terre Haute, Indiana, is appreciated. In an emotional moment, Goodall bowed his head and murmured, \u201cThank you from the bottom of my heart.<\/p>\n

Goodall mentioned that one of her \u201ctop shelf\u201d bucket list items was to sing with the band \u201cJourney.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding his future goals, he mentioned going back to work as a school janitor for a short spell. In addition, he mentioned wanting to purchase a home with his wife Angie. Despite having strong ties to Terre Haute, he admitted that he could consider purchasing a home in Florida as he dislikes the harsh Indiana winters.<\/p>\n
