Georgia's Will Moseley wows Idol judges with '(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay' performance

One Georgia native wowed judges with his cover of a Georgia legend's hit on Sunday's episode of American Idol.

Hazelhurst native Will Moseley sang "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" by Otis Redding, the Macon music icon, and was met with great praise.

"That was my favorite of the night," American Idol judge Luke Bryan said. Fellow judge Katy Perry agreed, saying "mine too."

"Your voice makes me feel safe," said Tori Kelly, a previous American Idol contestant who joined the judges panel for the episode. "You look like a seasoned pro. That was amazing."

Judge Lionel Richie told Moseley, "That is one signature voice you have, my friend."

Four contestants will be eliminated after Monday's episode. To vote for Moseley to move to the next round, text 11 to 21523. The show notes that there is a limit of 10 votes per contestant per method.
