Dancing with the Stars: Mya leads with 87 out of 90 points

Singer Mya topped the leader board on Monday's semifinals of "Dancing with the Stars" with 87 out of 90 points for three dances. Model Joanna Krupa finished in second place with 81 points. She received straight nines from all three judges for all three dances. Singer Kelly Osbourne received 78 points and singer Donny Osmond earned 74.

One celebrity and his or her professional dance will be eliminated on Tuesday's results show. Monday's judges' scores will be added to viewers' votes to determine who has the lowest combined score. The lowest scorer will be eliminated. The other three couples will dance in the finals next week.

Here's a recap of Monday's performances:

For their final dance of the night, Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson chose the jitterbug. They earned 27 points from the judges.

Carrie Ann Inaba, 9: "You needed this dance to be good, and, thank god, you got your mojo back."

Len Goodman, 9: "This was another winner. Well done."

Bruno Tonioli, 9: "A party."

Donny and Kym earned 26 points for their samba.

Bruno Tonioli, 9: "Effortless. Carefree. Fun. Everything the samba should be."

Carrie Ann Inaba, 8: "It felt a little sloppy for you, Donny."

Len Goodman, 9: "You've come out strong. You've come out determined. Good job."

Donny and Kym earned 21 points for their tango. Kym experienced a problematic wardrobe malfunction when the hemline of her dress unraveled during the dance. In footage shown from rehearsals, Donny got some advice from former "Dancing" competitor Gilles Marini who told Donny that the tango needed to "make people feel uncomfortable." Osmond succeed, but not in the steamy, romantic way he hoped.

Len Goodman, 7: "It was a catastrophe."

Bruno Tonioli, 7: "You completely lost it."

Carrie Ann Inaba, 7: "Way to make it to the end."

For their final dance of the evening, model Joanna Krupa and partner Derek Hough performed an exciting salsa for 27 points.

Len Goodman, 9: "They're like little hors d'oeuvres these routines. And that one was hot, tasty and full of spice."

Bruno Tonioli, 9: "Delicious and flirtatious."

Carrie Ann Inaba, 9: "I'd love to see you in the finals."

After watching an emotional clip about her difficult upbringing in Chicago after moving to the U.S. from Poland, Joanna and Derek earned 27 points for their cha-cha.

Carrie Ann Inaba, 9: "You truly are a dancer."

Len Goodman, 9: "It was clean. It was crisp... Little bit more cheeky, it could have been."

Bruno Tonioli, 9: "I just can't get you out of my bed... You are just natural sex."

In their first dance of the night, Joanna and Derek earned 27 points for their Viennese Waltz.

Len Goodman, 9: "Your hold, when you're dancing together, is as good as any professional's... Overall, it was the most beautiful dance."

Bruno Tonioli, 9: "The grace of angels in heaven."

Carrie Ann Inaba, 9: "You took my breath away... Gorgeous."

Singer Kelly Osbourne and partner Louis Van Amstel earned 27 points for their fun cha-cha to "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."
