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!

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! 💙

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.

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. 😊

Made me tear up but not one of hollowness per usual but one with hope✨️Cause if he can go out there and not give a crap about what others think of him and just show his true self/talents; then i can to.

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’ve been in the business all my life and as a Broadway professional I can say this performance blew me away. This guy represents every American with a dream the little engine that could God bless you, Richard I watched your video over and over and it brings tears to my eyes every single time, I can honestly say this is probably the most incredible performance I’ve ever seen or heard. Regardless of the outcome from here on out just remember you have already won. You’ve won the hearts of millions of people around the world. I think the world is thrilled. You never stopped believing enjoy the ride. You deserve it.

Man felt the same way. People give up on their dreams everyday. He is proof just to keep pushing and believing. Tears streamed down my eyes from this performance.

He really enunciates EVERY word. That is what makes him different. I’ve sang in several choirs, and the emphasis was always on making each word heard. Even if you over emphasize it.

He didn’t just work one school either. He worked with the whole school corporation with much respect for many years and he’s earned this

A true definition of "Talent hardly meets Opportunity". Mr. Richard conquers at 55.

He reminds me of Susan Boyle where she got her star and big break on her nearly senior years!!! Richard is such a charm! His innocence and talent is heartwarming ❤️

Does anyone actually LOOK at the video. The sound is great, it does not match the video. If this guy can sing he has been cheated.
