Richard Goodall takes the crown! Americaā€™s Got Talent 2024 winner with record-breaking votes and $1 million prize

Richard Goodall wowed the judges over the past several months and wowed viewers of the show to keep voting for him after singing songs like Journeyā€™s ā€œDonā€™t Stop Believinā€™ ā€ and Survivors ā€œEye of the Tiger.ā€

The journey to this point has taken months. Back in May, we learned the West Vigo Middle School janitor was about to make an appearance as a contestant on AGT. It was all thanks to a Tik Tok video of him singing to students.

ā€œShe come up with the kindergarten teachers and they said that it was at 100,000 thousand views and I said is that good and she said that she didnā€™t even have 1,000 followers. By the end of that weekend, it was a million,ā€ Richard Goodall explained.

What Goodall could not tell us back then, was that heā€™d received a golden buzzer from AGT judge Heidi Klum. It sent him straight to the quarter-final round.

After succeeding in the quarter-finals, Goodall came home to a welcome back rally at the school heā€™d cleaned for many years. He spoke to students and staff sharing an inspiring message.

ā€œYou can achieve anything you want at any age and it donā€™t matter what you look like. It donā€™t matter what color your hair is, what color your eyes are. If you just keep going and perfect what you do, where youā€™re at eventually at some point, someone is going to notice,ā€ said Goodall.

It was then back to AGTā€™s semi-finals and onto the finale where he was much loved by the judges.

ā€œHe was a hero genuinely. Heā€™s like the man who stood up for every underdog out there,ā€ said AGT judge Simon Cowell.

ā€œHe touches my heart, my soul and I just know he touched everyone elseā€™s heart and soul at home too.ā€

Heā€™s also loved by many people, but he says, heā€™s not letting the fame effect him.

ā€œIā€™m gonna stay that humble person. No matter what Iā€™m doing or where Iā€™m at,ā€ added Goodall.

Richard Goodallā€™s journey has been incredible and watch the moment his name was called for the $1 million prize below.

I ASKED MY NEIGHBOR TO CLEAN UP AFTER USING MY BBQ ā€” THE NEXT DAY, SHE LEFT HER OWN “RULES” ON MY DOOR, BUT I SHUT THAT DOWN. So, about six months ago, a new neighbor moved in ā€” a woman (40) with her son (16). At first, she seemed chill. I even lent her some household stuff and let her use my outdoor grill station when we weren’t home. No big deal, right? Wrong. One weekend, me, my husband and our kids went to visit my parents. We came back, and boom ā€” MY BACKYARD LOOKED LIKE A FRAT HOUSE HAD JUST HOSTED A BBQ APOCALYPSE. Empty bottles, food scraps, grill left dirty like it had survived a grease explosion. I ask her about it, and she just shrugs, saying it was her son’s birthday, so you know, it’s just kids, it’s what kids do. Apparently, I shouldn’t make a fuss over something so minor. Lady, it’s my backyard, not a public park! So, I do the reasonable thing. I draft up three simple rules: 1. If you use something, clean it and put it back. 2. Please, clean up after your child. 3. That’s it. Just be respectful. I hand it to her, thinking we’re all good. THE NEXT DAY, I WAKE UP TO A LIST OF HER RULES TAPED TO MY DOOR. HER rules. For MY property. Spoiler: I didnā€™t follow her rules. In two weeks, her son knocked on my door and pleaded, “Ma’am, please, stop!” šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ Full story in the first comment šŸ‘‡

MY SISTER TOOK BACK THE CAR SHE GIFTED ME AFTER I UPGRADED IT, SO I TAUGHT HER A LESSON. My older sister sold me her old car for a symbolic amount. It hadnā€™t run in ages, with flat tires and rust under the hood. But she made a big deal out of gifting it to me. Knowing my way around cars, I invested $5,000 to upgrade everythingā€”new interior, fresh paint, new tires, and wheels. I was thrilled with the result. One morning, as I was about to leave for university, my sister stormed in, DEMANDING THE CAR BACK. I was sh0cked. She claimed her husband’s car had broken down, and since she hadnā€™t sent the sale documents, the car was still legally hers. She said she had changed her mind. My parents sided with her, arguing that she needed the car for her kids. My first thought was to call the police, but then I had a better idea. I decided to teach her a lesson she wouldnā€™t forget.

A POOR BOY’S LIFE CHANGES AFTER HE PULLS AN OLD, RUSTY CHAIN STICKING OUT OF THE SAND ON A REMOTE BEACH Adam is 13 years old and lives with his grandfather in an old trailer near the ocean. His parents passed away when he was just 3, and since then, his grandpa has been his only family. They don’t have much, but his grandpa has raised him wellā€”Adam is strong, smart, and way more mature than most kids his age. One afternoon, he rode his bike down to the beach, just like any other day. He wandered along the shore, letting the waves tickle his feetā€”until something caught his eye. A thick, rusted chain lay partially buried in the sand. Curious, Adam grabbed it and pulledā€”but it barely budged. Whatever it was connected to was massive. From that moment on, Adam became obsessed with digging. He had no idea what he was about to uncoverā€”or how it was about to change his life forever ā¬‡ļø

The rusted chain jutting from the sand seemed worthless to everyone else, but to 13-year-old Adam, it promised an escape from poverty. He couldnā€™t have known that…

THEY WERE PRAYING IN A CIRCLEā€”BUT NO ONE TAUGHT THEM HOW It was just after snack time, and I was washing out some paint cups when I noticed the room had gone oddly quiet. Too quiet for a group of 4- and 5-year-olds who usually treated volume like a sport. I turned the corner into the play area and stopped in my tracks. Four of themā€”Niko, Janelle, Izzy, and Samirā€”were sitting cross-legged in a perfect little circle. Hands held. Eyes shut. Heads bowed. They were whispering something I couldnā€™t quite catch at first. I thought maybe it was a song or one of those rhyming games they loved. But when I leaned in, I realized they wereā€¦ praying. Like, really praying. Asking for things. Saying ā€œAmen.ā€ Janelle even crossed herself at the end like she’d seen in church. Thing is, we donā€™t do any kind of religious activity in our classroom. Itā€™s a public kindergarten. No nativity plays, no Bible stories, nothing. And Iā€™d never seen any of these four talk about faith or even mimic that kind of behavior before. I crouched down and gently asked, ā€œHey, what are you guys doing?ā€ Izzy opened one eye and whispered, ā€œWeā€™re asking the sky to help us.ā€ ā€œHelp you with what?ā€ I asked. Niko just said, ā¬‡ļø
