Watch Maren Morris, Sheryl Crow Perform Live on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Maren Morris, Sheryl Crow, Brandy, and Monica provided a live soundtrack for the contestants Dancing With the Stars‘ Grammy night. Morris revisited her song “The Middle” while Jenna Dewan and Tatyana Ali faced off to perform the cha cha.

Sheryl Crow performed her 1994 hit song “All I Wanna Do” for a cha cha competition between Connor Wood and Maura Higgins.

Brandy and Monica, who announced a joint Las Vegas residency yesterday, joined forces for their own hit, “The Boy Is Mine.” The 1998 track provided the soundtrack to a rumba dance off between Amber Glenn and Ezra Frech.

The episode got a surprise cameo later in the night from Janet Jackson, who sent a video message to Dewan. The actress danced a jazz routine with her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy to Jackson’s 2001 song “All For You.” Despite being eliminated, Jackson shared some words of encouragement for Dewan, a former backup tour dancer for the pop star.

I know you’re going to do an incredible job. Weren’t those such fun times we had back then in those days? During the All For You Tour. I miss you, I love you, I can’t wait to see you tonight. Like I said, you’re going to do an incredible job, I know it, and let’s get together when I’m back in LA.”

So far this season Dancing With the Stars has dedicated an episode to Mariah Carey, paid homage to Dolly Parton, and featured a Heath Ledger tribute by Julia Stiles.
