Twelve contestants started the competition ten weeks ago and all twelve — Gavin DeGraw, Gladys Knight, Jack Wagner, Jaleel White, Maria Menounos, Martina Navratilova, Melissa Gilbert, Roshon Fegan, Sherri Shepherd, Levy, Jenkins and Driver — returned to perform on the finale. Empress of Soul Knight was also a special musical performer for the evening, performing her rendition of "The Way We Were." American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson also took the stage to perform her new single "Dark Side," as well as her hit "Stronger."

Finalists Levy, Jenkins and Driver danced one last performance for judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli Tuesday. Those scores were combined with their fan votes to determine the Season 14 champion.
