“America’s Got Talent” winner Richard Goodall never stopped believing in himself.
Goodall was named the winner for singing his cover of Journey’s hit “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
The singing janitor told Fox News Digital that he was able to check off an important item on his “bucket list” as he was accompanied by the band Journey at his last performance.

“There’s a bucket list and then there’s a bucket list at the top of the shelf that you never dreamed was there,” Goodall said in disbelief. “I got to touch the bucket list at the top.”
Goodall went on to say that it was a great honour for him to be crowned the winner as several memorable events had recently happened in his life, including his wedding and winning the million-dollar cash prize.
“The sky is the limit. I had no expectations when I went to the auditions and the same was true for the finale. I just give it my all and leave it all on the stage.”
While saying that his wife is an “absolutely amazing woman” and his biggest supporter, Goodall also chatted about his plans for the future.

“The sky’s the limit,” he told Fox News Digital. “I had no expectations going into the auditions and the same was true for the finale. I’m just going to give it my all and leave it all on the stage.”
Goodall then proudly held up the “America’s Got Talent” card, which identified him as the winner of the popular competition show.
Goodall plans to return to his job as a janitor “for a while,” and “America’s Got Talent” judge Heidi Klum predicted he will throw the “biggest welcoming party” at the school where he works.
At the beginning of the season, Klum pressed the coveted Golden Buzzer for the singing caretaker, which sends a candidate directly to the live shows.
