Terre Haute’s singing janitor, Richard Goodall, sang “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor during “America’s Got Talent” semifinals Wednesday night, and the crowd — and judges — quickly gave their enthusiastic approval.
When show host Terry Crews asked how he felt about performing such an iconic song, Goodall answered, “I am so blessed and I was ready.” He said he was willing to fight to make the finals.
Heidi Klum, who gave Goodall the Golden Buzzer during his initial audition round earlier this year, enthusiastically encouraged viewers to vote for Goodall.
Judge Sofia Vergara commented, “I love that you picked such an iconic song. The people love you … It was amazing. I’m so happy for you.”
