R&B singer and Dancing with the Stars finalist Brandy will serve as a special correspondent on Fox's New Year's Eve Live special, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Brandy will hit the streets of Las Vegas while Plain White T's and dance crew Jabbawockeez ring in the New Year. As previously announced, Travie McCoy and David Archuleta will also perform.

It's been a few days now since Brandy's shocking elimination let Bristol Palin waltz her way into the Dancing with the Stars finals.

Time for heads to clear, tempers to cool and reason to return to discourse...

I could be objective about Brandy's elimination from Dancing with the Stars in the semi-finals.

I could try to come up with reasons to explain why Bristol deserves a place in the finals more than Brandy. I could pretend that it's just another elimination and no big deal. But I won't.

There was anger, outrage and sadness in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom Tuesday night. Brandy, who did such a magnificent job this season, was told she would be going home, knocked down by the seemingly unstoppable force that is Bristol Palin.

Brandy broke down in tears as Bristol Palin controversially pipped her to a place in the Dancing With The Stars final.

The 31-year-old singer could not hide her distress after learning she and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy had been eliminated in the public vote - despite getting a higher score than Palin and Mark Ballas.

The singer Brandy Norwood, who topped judges scores four weeks in a row on "Dancing with the Stars" and earned her first perfect score of 30 Monday didn't fare as well with home viewers in the semi-finals.

In a shocking move, she was cut from the competition Tuesday despite having the second highest scores for the season.

In anticipation of the "Dancing With the Stars" semifinals, we're assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the final four.

And after turning our attention to Bristol Palin and then Kyle Massey, it's now time to check in on Brandy.

"Things have changed since we last spoke," Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba told TV Guide Magazine as she headed to her trailer after Monday night's show.

Inaba is referring to Brandy's surprising power surge, while early favorite Jennifer Grey seems to be hanging on to the top spot by her fingernails.

A 200th show celebration on "Dancing with the Stars" returned many former participants to the show, as well as Jennifer Grey back to the top of the leaderboard.

She was tied with the leader for the past two weeks, Brandy, after each got 37 out of 40 for their dances, combined with the 37 each got for being part of the winning side of a group dance.

Brandy got straight 9s for her quickstep to the theme from Friends to top the scores on Dancing with the Stars Monday for the first time.

At the same time, Bristol Palin fell to last place on a night dedicated to TV theme songs.
