TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The singing janitor Richard Goodall is headed back to Hollywood for America’s Got Talent live semi-finals that will air September 11th.

For now, AGT’s semi-finalist has returned to his everyday life being known as “Mr. Goodall” at West Vigo Middle School where the students have enjoyed having him back at school.

“I’ve signed so many tennis shoes, so many cell phone cases, and taken so many selfies,” said Goodall. “The kids are just eating it up. They love it. Just an overwhelming beautiful, wonderful response.”

While the Golden Buzzer winner has been back home in Terre Haute, he says he’s put a lot of thought into his song choice for the next go around.

“Just paying attention to the music, making the right song choice. I mean song choice is the is probably the biggest thing in the competition and there is a lot that goes into it.”

Richard Goodall has already touched down in Hollywood ahead of America’s Got Talent live shows coming up in a few short weeks, for the final preparations.

“You don’t just stand up there and sing,” said Goodall. “There is so much prep work. They have screens behind you, screens your standing on. They have creative people, story people, and of course the music team.”

As we are on the heels of the next America’s Got Talent live show, the singing janitor says he can feel the love and support from the Terre Haute community.

“I love y’all. I mean all of this means so much to me. I genuinely, I never dreamed I would be in this position. So happy and humbled that I am in this position, and I promise you whatever happens, I am going to give back as much as I have been given. So, it’s not all wasted on me.”
