In addition to Goodall and the Israeli duo, other contestants who made it to the Top 10 Finalists on the talent show were Airfootworks, Brent Street, Dee Dee Simon, Hakuna Matata Acrobats, Learnmore Jonasi, Sebastián & Sonia, Sky Elements, and Solange Kardinaly. Prior to this incredible feat, Goodall stole the hearts of netizens with his soulful vocals on TikTok nearly six months ago.
Following his AGT win, Goodall expressed his gratitude in a Billboard interview, saying, “Being who I am, a janitor for 23 years, now singing songs on TV and singing with Journey. I mean, you can’t make that stuff up.” “This is beyond surreal. I couldn’t dream up everything that’s happened to me. I mean, there’s a bucket list, and then there’s a bucket list that you didn’t even know existed,” he added.
Goodall, who is now famed for his signature paperboy hat, auditioned with an emotional rendition of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’. His soulful vocals left the judges impressed, with Heidi Klum giving him the coveted Golden Buzzer that instantly sent him to the live shows. “She just loved hugging my neck and telling me, ‘Well, what a wonderful job you’re doing’ every single time I’ve seen her. She’s an amazing lady,” Goodall said of Klum.
