I watch several Got Talent clips, mostly America and Britain though. One thing I do notice is on BGT the judges hit the golden buzzer in the moment of emotion, like after the song when everyone is cheering, and on AGT the judges hit the golden buzzer while giving their summary of the performance, thus taking part in the emotional moment instead of giving the emotional moment to the performer.

On Canada's Got Talent all Golden Buzzers receive $25,000 (tax free) & top prize is $1,000,000 Canadian (roughly about $730,000 - tax free). Pretty disappointed that AGT buzzers don't win anything, He really deserves $25,000!

He spent 23 years cleaning as a janitor. At the age of 55, he rode an airplane for the first time to pursue his dream. Alone and nervous, he sang at one of the most prestigious talent shows in the world and received the golden buzzer. Mr. Richard didn't stop believing.

Hello ~ 🦋 I was a student in a school where Mr. Richard worked as a janitor. I can tell you that all the kids looked up to him. He inspired us to find our own talents & work hard. Mr. Richard is such a sweet, shy & humble man. And a great singer deserving of this opportunity on AGT! Everyone hearing him sing on AGT has been given hope that their dreams can come true if they, too, "don't stop believing & hold on to the feeling". THANK YOU so Much, Mr. Richard! 💙 And much gratitude to the songwriters - Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon & Steve Perry who inspired so many with their words! A special THANK YOU to Steve Perry for a song that will live forever in so many hearts! 💙

My Dad was the Custodian at a middle high school for 2 decades back in the 70s/80s. When he had a heart attack, several kids went to the hospital and said they were his kids in order to see him. They made a card that was 3 ft tall by 2 ft wide, and most of the school signed it with well wishes. I had the best Dad ever and I was so proud of him. He got better and went on to live another 30 years before passing. The kids at his school had a huge welcome back party for him, and they even all cleaned up afterwards. He was very popular in our city as he also did tons of charity work. I never felt shame of his job. Besides, here in Canada, he was making good money at that time since he was in a Union. 😊

Richard Goodall stole America's hearts last night on "America's Got Talent." I had the chance to have breakfast with Richard at the hotel on the morning I was on my way out after my previous night's taping, and he had just come in for his. The simple, genuine, and unassuming man I had the opportunity to get to know was just humbled to be there and had no lofty expectations. This weary nation needs a hero-it needs a dear soul like Richard Goodall, and he has stepped up to the plate and given it one. So many people feel as if they are without hope these days. Richard Goodall, a janitor from Indiana, just gave it to millions of them.

Richard, You Sir are absolutely the meaning of the Journey song "Don't stop Believin"! I'm 46, a disabled Military veteran and my daughter, family and friends have been telling me to give it a shot at singing too. Thanks to you, i will be taking what my family and friends tell me about my singing more seriously. Thank you for helping me gather the courage to get out there and show people what i can do by singing. I'm so proud of you for listening to those around you and the kids who look up to you at the school you work at. You worked hard for long enough, now its time for you to reap the rewards thru this golden buzzer making your dream come true. I will be following your story and i cant wait to see you continuing to make your dream a reality. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm HONORED to have found you. You are a blessing in disguise. As they say in the navy to others we come across " Fair winds and Following seas", Keep stepping forward and keep charging, don't let anything stop you. Your a rocket ship now, TAKE FLIGHT AND NEVER STOP BELIEVIN!!! P.S. AGT, Please make sure that Richard gets this message, id appreciate it.

The story of Richard is the whole package. It should be a movie. There are people, yes, that never go far from their hometown. This gentleman lives an honest life, works a hard--often thankless--job, but it's his courage to get on a plane, something he's never done even at age 55, fly to California to be on America's Got Talent to pursue a dream of singing. That right there is the American Dream come true.

The more I thought about his courage to get on a plane, it wasn't just that, it was to get on a plane to go to a national international TV show and stand up before a crowd of what 3,000 people and judges and all the sound and noise and everything in a television production you are not used to? I can certainly understand his nerves but aside from that he gave an incredible performance. I just hope that he takes his experience as far as he wishes it to and I hope he enjoys the experience. But more so I hope that people don't take advantage of him. He's in a very elite group of people that include Paul Potts and Susan Boyle and maybe one or two other people that came from nothing to be on that show and their whole life changed from all the attention and the accolades. I really hope he does well and enjoys his time in California and on the show. There are thousands of people rooting for him. Well done, Richard!!

I been watching this on and off, helping it reach its 34m views is baddd to the bone. I love his voice when he lets it all out and show who he really is inside👍👍 very old fashioned❤ I see a glimpse of that gem hidden inside shine and light up the room every time I hear him sing. Am I wrong? Crowd seems to agree he's one of a kind.❤

Props to Simon for making Richard feel comfortable before his performance too

Simon has come a long way from laughing at Susan Boyle in fairness. Age has mellowed him.

This went from an audition to a concert as soon as he opened his mouth. He had the entire crowd, including the judges from the very first note.

I agree. Richard truly deserved the golden buzzer, but so did the incredibly emotional performances from Nightbirde, Kodi Lee, and Putri Ariani, all equally deserving.

His upper register is amazing. All of us older people who had to take honest work to pay the bills are proud that he stood out and sought some limelight. Congratulations.

From his first note he had every single person in the audience, both in the room and watching from screens, 100% in his corner. Even the comments section is nice! That never happens!

It was definitely the first note, and a lot of times for me that's how it is with certain singers. It's actually very rare to start that way and them also to keep it up. There was hardly any moments that he swayed. He lacked a tad a few but overall he kept that momentum going and you could tell it was the crowds reaction that helped him feel confident to keep going strong. He's one of the strongest feeds off the crowd I've ever seen.

@@pns-12agreed. Saw Journey in "81 or '82, Steve had a cut off sweatshirt with a guy picking his nose with his finger coming out of his ear that said, Pick a Winner, lol. That man never stood still through the drum solo, every encore. What talent. Wish I'd seen Stevie or FM. Richard gave me chills.
