Richard Goodall has competed on the “America’s Got Talent” stage for the last time.
The Season 19 favorite from Terre Haute bookended his run on the NBC show with another Journey hit during Tuesday night’s final round. He adds that to a stellar run of performances that’s included covers of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” the Michael Bolton classic “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” and Survivor’s iconic “Eye of the Tiger.”
Now that the curtain’s down, it’s up to fans of the reality competition show to decide Goodall’s fate.

What did AGT judges say about Richard Goodall’s final performance?
Judge Heidi Klum, who has supported Goodall since his audition, said that the humble, kind janitor may have a quiet presence, but he becomes a “big rock star” behind the mic.
“Richard, I have been faithfully your biggest fan since the very, very first day we met, all the way through this competition,” she said. “I want you to win this so bad, Richard!”
Howie Mandel made a bold prediction: “I think you just sang yourself $1 million.”
