Six-time Grammy Award winner Missy Elliott is the best selling female hip hop artist of all time. She is currently putting the finishing touches on her 7th studio album, which will be released in 2009.

Judges Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and Carrie Ann Inaba will select their favorite team of the night. That team will then return later in the season for another performance.
