The contestants have been fortunate to meet and work with several mentors this season.
Will posted on Facebook about his rehearsal with Shania.
Before that, he posted two photos and asked for votes.

excerpt from Mark Franklin's recap:
"From the opening note, I knew this was going to be special. I wasn't disappointed. That was the best performance of the night so far. Country rock works very well for Will. He even flashed a couple of smiles during the course of a fun, uptempo performance. Luke called the big note at the end the best thing he's done all season. Katy and Lionel praised the performance too. It was praise worthy. Grade: A (It's the only "A" Mark gave tonight.)

excerpt from MJ Santilli's Top 10 rankings article:
Will Moseley is the most laid back of the contestants. He seems to be MOSEYING along to at least a Top 5 finish with his soulful country and rock infused performances. Does this guy ever break a sweat?

MJ mentioned in her recap tonight that Will is lucky to be in a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" situation. She also gave him credit "for delivering the chorus with urgency."
In his TVLine recap, Andy Swift called Will's performances "excellent" and added that he's "already a country powerhouse."
In the GoldDerby live blog, Denton Davidson wrote that Will is "easily one of the safest bets to sail into the finale."

Total slayage.
Yeah. Will killed that vocal. He smiled more and seemed like he was having fun performing, too.

I'm interested to see Will's three options for Judge's Song Contest on Monday.
-
Yes, I saw after I posted.
Good guess! I'm sure he'll tell the story well.
The song's lyrics don't help Will, but the theme didn't provide him with many good options for this episode. I think he needs an emotional ballad and a "moment" soon.
-
I also came across this song, which was released on 11/14/2000.

I like this ballad, which was released on 04/18/2000 and became Creed's only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Scott Stapp wrote the song after learning that his wife was expecting their first child, so the lyrics aren't a perfect fit for Will.

I’ll tell you what tripped me up in that. It reached #1 in 2000, and I was focused on those songs.
Considering it’s been less than 3 months since he passed away, I think he could do well with any Toby Keith song.
TPTB probably won't be too strict about exact release dates matching the year of birth.
Yes, the fact that Toby is a popular country singer and died in February after a struggle with stomach cancer could help Will or another contestant who chooses to cover one of his songs tonight—regardless of the lyrics.
One of my favorite Toby Keith songs is "Should've Been a Cowboy," but it was released in 1993.

The only 2000 popular country song I can see working for Will and fitting into 2 minutes is, “How Do You Like Me Now.” By Toby Keith. It would be his 3rd mid to uptempo song in a row. He regularly covers Toby Keith.
According to Wikipedia, it was released on 11/22/99 and is about Keith's attraction to the beautiful valedictorian of his high school. While it's a popular song that was nominated for Single of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2001 Academy of Country Music awards, I've never liked it. I didn't think of a 2000 song that's a better option for Will, but I hope he has a good one.

I updated my Ole Red post (see link) tonight. The list has 33 past TV contestants who have performed at one or more of Blake's six Ole Red venues this year alone.
(It's possible that I might have missed names or dates. Ole Red changed its website and no longer shows previous events. Unfortunately, I don't always have time to check the calendars every week.)

Grace is opening for Stone Temple Pilots. That's pretty random but really cool.

Grace was excited about it when she wrote on Facebook April 10: "...I have the opportunity of opening for one of my favorite bands of ALL TIME..."
(See my April 18 post for more information about tonight's benefit concert. Bryan White and Keesy Timmer are also performing.)

This is a great cover.

excerpt from 04/24/24 article about Bruno Tonioli:
The judge also spoke on how his costars throughout the years encouraged him in the many career directions he chose to take. In particular, he mentioned the late Len Goodman, who passed away on April 22, 2023. "Len sent me a wonderful email just before he passed away, which is still very hard to talk about. I can't even speak about him not being here. But that email meant a lot to me."
