The performance started with Tommy Lee on piano as the band played the ballad “Home Sweet Home” with singer Vince Neil duetting with Underwood. Lee then jumped on the drums as the Crüe launched into the hard-rocking “Kickstart My Heart,” with Underwood’s powerful pipes giving the chorus some extra punch.

Back in 2007, Underwood joined Mötley Crüe onstage to perform “Kickstart My Heart” in Nashville, Tennessee. Additionally, a performance of “Home Sweet Home” performed by Underwood was used in the 2009 season of the talent search program, played for contestants who were sent off of the show after that week’s voting.
