After Richard’s performance, Simon Cowell confidently shares that “America is going to love” him. Based on all of the amazing feedback fans are already giving him, it’s safe to say that he was right!
“If you told me this was Steve Perry and I was blindfolded, I would believe you,” a fan writes. “I’ve never been this blown out of my seat since Nightbirde’s audition 3 years ago. Richard deserves this shot. He didn’t stop Believin’ and now everyone is going to be on his side. Out of this stratosphere, Richard.”
“I can’t express with words how proud I am to be able to say that I am one of the kids who always told him how amazing his voice is,” another person shares. “My favorite part of walking through the hallway of Elementary school is hearing this phenomenon. Richard, you are indeed a true hero.”
