He sang, he conquered, and now he’s a million-dollar winner! The AGT Million Dollar Champion is officially named Richard Goodall. AGT judge Heidi Klum had goosebumps on top of goosebumps, and it’s easy to see why….

“They said my name and flipped it open while I was waiting there. Whoa! The confetti drops. Holding the card that AGT host Terry Cruz used to declare the winner, Richard Goodall exclaimed, “Magic.”

It has taken a while to hear his name. In the spring, Goodall began the audition process. Everything started when a video of him singing to West Vigo pupils was uploaded on Tik Tok. Among those who witnessed it was AGT judge Howie Mandell.

Howie Mandell stated from the AGT red carpet, “When I saw him, when he stepped on our stage, you felt the love that not only I had for him, but the hope he would win.” “You just knew that everyone at home would feel the same strong urge to cast a ballot.”

And voters did. He ranked #1 according to viewer votes. That same engaging charisma won over other judges as well.

“In the competition, he made such progress. America grew to love him. the actual individual. the actual dream. After today, his life will change,” AGT Judge Sophia Vigara remarked.

“I get chills just thinking about him singing on that stage,” the person said. It truly is lovely. He has a lovely voice. He’s really delicious, Heidi Klum, an AGT judge, continued.

Goodall expressed gratitude to WTWO on the red carpet for sharing his trip.

“You guys have supported me the entire way,” “You guys have supported me throughout the entire process,” grinned Goodall.

Additionally, he commended the Wabash Valley residents for their unwavering support.

“Wabash Valley, Terre Haute, Indiana, is appreciated. In an emotional moment, Goodall bowed his head and murmured, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Goodall mentioned that one of her “top shelf” bucket list items was to sing with the band “Journey.”

Regarding his future goals, he mentioned going back to work as a school janitor for a short spell. In addition, he mentioned wanting to purchase a home with his wife Angie. Despite having strong ties to Terre Haute, he admitted that he could consider purchasing a home in Florida as he dislikes the harsh Indiana winters.

Family fostered a 12-year-old boy that nobody wants – But soon they realized who he really is

According to recent data presented by the Children’s Bureau, the number of children in foster care nationwide is approximately 424,000. In Tennessee only, there are slightly less than 8,000 children who are waiting to be reunited with their families or find a forever home with people who would love them unconditionally. The sad reality is that the number of foster families in this state is less than 4,000.

Up until recently, one of those kids who found themselves in the system was 12-year-old Andrew from Nashville. This lovely boy spent half his life going from one family to another. However, that changed when he was welcomed in by a special foster family; the Gills.

Kevin and Dominique Gill have a son on their own, Joc, who made very good friends with Andrew the moment they first met. The boys just love hanging out together. They spend their time playing games, taking walks, and doing a bunch of fun stuff. Realizing how close the boys became, Kevin and Dominique decided to let them be best friends forever by filing adoption papers.

Andrew had no idea he was about to become an official member of the Gill family. One day, as he was taking a walk at the park with Molly Parker, an employee at the Youth Villages, he was met with the news that his foster parents are adopting him.

“I just turned around the corner and saw everybody,” Andrew said. “They asked ‘will you?’ and I said ‘yeah!’”

Besides being best friends, these boys now became brothers. Isn’t that the most beautiful thing ever?
