Dancing With the Stars held its first-ever Grammy Night on Tuesday, Nov. 10, bringing live performances by Brandy and Monica, Sheryl Crow and Maren Morris to the ballroom. The episode paired Grammy-recognized music with dance-offs, giving viewers a chance to watch the performances and compare the couples’ routines.
The guests performed some of their best-known songs as six pairs competed in side-by-side dance-offs, with each couple vying to remain in the ballroom competition. Brandy and Monica sang their 1998 hit “The Boy Is Mine,” a 13-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, while Amber Glenn and Ezra Frech performed simultaneous rumba routines with their professional partners, Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach.
Sheryl Crow played guitar and sang “All I Wanna Do,” her 1994 hit, as Connor Wood and professional partner Rylee Arnold faced Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas in a cha-cha contest. Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy also performed a cha-cha, competing against Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik as Maren Morris sang “The Middle,” her 2018 hit recorded without its original collaborators, Zedd and Grey.
Although Dewan and Chmerkovskiy won their dance-off against Ali and Ravnik, they were eliminated from the competition that week.
The episode was DWTS’ first Grammy Night, featuring songs and artists that had won or received Grammy nominations. “The Middle” was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2019; “All I Wanna Do” won Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1994; and “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 appeared in a video message for Dewan. Dewan’s other performance that night was to “All for You,” which spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001.
“I am so excited,” Janet Jackson said in the clip. “I cannot wait to watch you perform tonight.”
