Who won AGT Season 19?
Richard Goodall, the singing school janitor who stole America’s hearts with his unforgettable rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” early in Season 19’s Auditions, was ultimately crowned the winner of Season 19. He’s even returning as special guest during tonight’s Finale for an epic performance.
The soft-spoken 56-year-old with a larger-than-life singing style effortlessly channeled bands like Journey and Survivor through the competition, giving viewers countless memorable moments every time he stepped onto the AGT stage.
Goodall’s AGT success translated into a heartfelt real-world victory as well. On August 10, the star revealed that he finally met his biological father!
“My friends, I’d like to introduce an amazing man; his name is Hubert,” Goodall wrote on Instagram. “Thanks to ancestry and Angie I found my biological father. He is a retired K9 police officer in Indy not to mention a retired army veteran. He has no children so you can imagine his shock to find out after all these years? He has a son. While I can’t tell you the whole story, but he wasn’t even told I existed.”
Goodall also gave a shout-out to his wife, Angie, who helped him track down his dad.
“A huge thank you to my Angie,” the 55-year-old continued. “Had it not been for her I wouldn’t have tried to look.”
