We caught up with Scherzinger and her pro partner Derek Hough following their triumphant set, and asked them what made the night -- which featured dances inspired by different decades -- click for them as it did.
"Well, the 50s was a rock n' roll era, so I could definitely, as a musician, relate to that, and stylistically, it was just so cool," Scherzinger told RadarOnline.com's Tina Malave. "It was a really intense week for us, we had a lot of fun, but it was still intense, and I care so much about everything, all of our performances, that's just how I was feeling ... I'm just taking it all in."
Scherzinger -- who judge Carrie Ann Inaba last week said was "by far, the best dancer we've ever had on this show" -- left Inaba nearly speechless with her poise and grace on the ballroom floor Monday. Even the notoriously hard-to-please Len Goodman told Scherzinger, "there was nothing I could see to criticize."
Trailing Scherzinger on the scoreboard Monday were Evan Lysacek (who received a perfect score last week) and Erin Andrews with 53 points a piece; Chad Ochocinco with 45 points and Niecy Nash with 43.
We'll see who made the cut when Dancing With the Stars returns at 8/7c Tuesday on ABC.
