This week, Amber Riley and partner Derek Hough performed the rumba to Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.”

With a possible crippling knee injury, Riley forged through tough practices, put in time at home and put on an awesome performance. Two of the three judges loved her rendition of the rumba. However, Carrie Ann Inaba thought Riley didn’t give it her all.

In the end, the duo received 28 out of a possible 30 points, earning the highest score of the night making them safe from elimination.

Check out Riley and Hough’s sexy version of the rumba.
