I thought people got the GLODEN BUZZER for being original. He is a complete copy of the original song. I respect his talent but someone came out with that same voice and style years ago!! Maybe 40+ years ago

Funny, but I was alive when the original came out, and I don't recall the original artist looking or dressing like this. Furthermore, the Golden Buzzers are supposed to be reserved for exceptional displays of talent. It is also incumbent on each judge to evaluate what that means to them. So you are wrong on everything you said. Also, his voice wasn't even a carbon copy of the original. For the record, there were impersonators that have gotten Golden Buzzers, and their entire act is based on mimicry of the talents and personalities of others. The same can be said of the ventriloquist Golden Buzzer recipients. They all do nothing more than Shari Lewis did with a sock and Edgar Bergen did with a dummy all those decades ago. You don't determine what criteria a judge gets to use to determine who gets a Golden Buzzer. The individual judges do.

​@@ston3dmom3nts63you've got a point. There were times when Simon would have put it down as Karaoke. But it's perfect Karaoke. I have heard maybe 3 covers that got close to the original but Richard's is the closest. The only piece missing is the top range that is Perry's signature. Richard avoided it by using a lower register variation. Still, a great performance.

I could listen to him all day.

He deserve that golden busher. As if I’m watching Steve Perry singing on stage with his voice. Amazing! ❤

Just love hearing original people with extraordinary talents. Mr.Goodall you’re just an example of older people who didn’t have American Idol and other television shows around in your youth. However because of your humility God has graced you with an opportunity to show to your reward for being a humble man. Pray for you a second successful career 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Can't stop watching this performance!! Amazing. Glad he's chasing his dream!!❤️❤️👍
