Dancing With the Stars welcomed a few extra stars to the stage on Tuesday (Nov. 10), with the show’s “Grammy Night” episode adding live music provided by Brandy and Monica, Sheryl Crow and Maren Morris to the program.
The special guests performed some of their most recognizable tracks as six pairs competed against each other side by side during dance-offs, each fighting for their ability to stay another week on the ballroom competition show. The two R&B icons stepped out to sing their staple 1998 13-week Billboard Hot 100-topper, “The Boy Is Mine,” as Amber Glenn and Ezra Frech tried to out-rumba each other with routines happening simultaneously on stage, accompanied by their respective pros, Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach.
Crow spent her time on stage playing 1994’s “All I Wanna Do,” strumming a glossy black guitar as Connor Wood and pro Rylee Arnold faced off against Maura Higgins and pro Mark Ballas, both couples showcasing their take on the cha cha. Jenna Dewan and pro Val Chmerkovskiy also cha cha’d, going toe to toe with Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik as Morris sang her 2018 smash “The Middle,” sans song partners Zedd and Grey.
Despite winning against Ali and Ravnik, Dewan and Chmerkovskiy ended up as the eliminated pair this week.
The episode marked DWTS‘ first-ever “Grammy Night,” which featured artists and songs who’ve either won or been nominated at the Grammys. “The Middle” was nominated for record of the year and best pop duo/group performance in 2019, while “All I Wanna Do” took home record of the year and best female pop vocal in 1994. “The Boy Is Mine” won best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocal in 1999.
Five-time Grammy winner Janet Jackson also made a cameo on the Tuesday episode, appearing in a video message to Dewan, whose other performance on the show that night was to seven week 2001 Hot 100 No. 1 “All for You.”
“I am so excited,” Miss Jackson said in the clip. “I cannot wait to watch you perform tonight.”
