Mya: 'The Pressure Is On' for 'Dancing'

Mya says that she's "having the time of my life" on "Dancing with the Stars" -- but that doesn't mean she's getting soft.

The singer, 30, has danced her way into the finals with Kelly Osbourne and Donny Osmond, and while she has "no complaints" about her experience, she's in it to win it.

"The pressure is on," Mya told "Extra" at Us Weekly's Skyy-vodka sponsored Hot Hollywood party Wednesday night.

"Because we're in the finals... we have to work ten times harder than we have before, and really dedicate ourselves and commit. I'm up for it, I'm up for the challenge," she adds.

The songstress has earned herself multiple perfect scores in the competition, is "grateful" for the scores, but thinks that it can be "intimidating" to keep up with her own high expectations of herself -- as well as the expectations of viewers.

To prep for the finals, Mya and her partner Dmitry Chaplin have been "going hard in the studio" -- and she hopes their work will please the viewers. "I hope I give a wonderful performance next week," she says.

"Dancing with the Stars" airs Monday on ABC.

I hope Mya wins and Donnie comes in second or vice versa. Joanna should
have been in the final three.

I have been watching DWTS and I think Mya & Dmity are the best in my opinion. Hope they will be the champions!!

Mya for the WIN!!!! She’s hands down the best. Joanna should still be there; she is also amazing; but her elimination clears the path for Mya to take it all the way.

It was SO WRONG that Joanne Krupa and Derek Hough didn’t make the finals.Joanna improved immensely in her dancing and took the challenge with the Future robot dance with high scores & raves from all judges. Mya was at the same level and didn’t take challenges.
