ABC/Frank OckenfelsMonday night’s season premiere of Disney Channel alum Skai Jackson showed off her incredible moves dancing to Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass." Along with her partner Alan Bersten, the 18-year-old actress brought her high energy and flexibility to her Tango performance, along with a split, earning one of the highest scores of the night: 21 out of 30.
With numbers like this, Skai could be one of the youngest winners in DWTS history and Twitter was buzzing with words of support.
Another stellar performance fans can't stop talking about is Nelly's hot salsa performance to his Country Grammar single, "Ride Wit Me."
Mr. "Young Swivel" himself showed the judges his fancy footwork, wearing a red ensemble during a routine with his partner Daniella Karagach. Their performance opened with the two on the back of a motorcycle, a nod to the song's music video.
The Grammy-winning rapper even managed to pull off a backflip while wearing retro Jordan sneakers during his performance instead of ballroom dance shoes -- all with a smile on his face. Even after all that, the judges rated Nelly and Daniella's performance a 16 out of 30, prompting boos from what seemed to be virtual viewers.
