Last night on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, fans were in for a shock when Christina Milian, whom many imagined reaching the finals, was voted off. Above is her last dance on the show, with her pro partner Mark Ballas.

The irony was that their fiery and nearly-perfect Cha Cha Cha turned out to be their best dance so far, and also the highest scored of the night: 28 out of a possible 30.

It’s no surprise then that Christina was shocked to find out she was going home.

“I have to say it's true shock. I wasn't expecting that. We had I think the best performance tonight that we've had thus far,” she said.

The star recovered enough to be able to say that she was thankful for the opportunity. “I've made some great memories, some great friends here… I've learned a lot about myself just being here… I'm really happy I did this,” Christina added.
