Anyone else feel like running up some art museum steps after Richard Goodall’s amazing America’s Got Talent performance?
The singer brought plenty of big cat energy to the AGT Semifinals as the janitor-turned-Golden Buzzer superstar delivered an unforgettable cover of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” As movie lovers know, the iconic pump-up jam that continues to play at sporting events all over the world was originally written for the Rocky III soundtrack.
“Every song that I sing means something in my life,” Goodall explained ahead of his performance. “I’ve been singing in the halls for 23 years. I know how lucky I am to be here and it’s not wasted on me. Hopefully, this song connects with people.”
When asked why he chose this track specifically, Goodall answered: “I’m fightin’ for it, plain and simple. I got this shot. I’m like Rocky, I gotta go for it.”Goodall will officially be moving on to the Finals alongside dance group Brent Street, stand-up comedian Learnmore Jonasi, dog-human dance duo Roni Sagi & Rhythm, drone-happy Sky Elements, and quick-change magician Solange Kardinaly.
