SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: 'American Idol' Season 22 contestant Will Moseley took the ABC show stage to perform Lynyrd Skynyrd's song 'Gimme Three Steps' during the Top 7 performance. During the episode, each performer received dance tips from guest mentor Ciara but Moseley seemingly failed to take notes and slammed for his moves.

Moseley claimed that he had never danced and called dancing 'out in left field' for him. Ciara still tried to teach him a few basic moves. The aspiring singer tried some new dance moves on stage. After the performance, Luke Bryan quipped that Moseley's Apple Watch is going to say 'two steps' following that performance.

The ABC show judge suggested, "I tell you what, it’s so fun watching you have fun and try new things." Despite the effort, Moseley failed to impress the viewers and received trolls over his dance moves. A social media user commented, "Will is cool, but not dancing.. at least a little 3 step skip.. Disappointing to me."

Another person added, "Will Moseley hates the dance theme more than he hates feral hogs." Another critic noted, "Ciara showing Will the 1,2 step 😆." Another internet user penned, "Will is just walking around the stage lol." Another viewer said, "Will dancing in 3 steps was really hilarious... 😆."
