Sheryl Crow Visits 'Big Brother 3'

Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow had a little fun when she made a surprise visit to CBS' "Big Brother 3."

The HouseGuests, whom were unable to listen to music or TV for the duration of the game, were shocked to find Crow in their backyard ready to give them a private concert. The Early Show news anchor and Big Brother's host Julie Chen reports.

In this surprise luxury reward for the HouseGuests, Crow, the winner of eight Grammy Awards, performed three songs with her band, including "Soak Up the Sun" and "Steve McQueen" from her current album "C'mon, C'mon," plus her 1994 breakout hit "All I Wanna Do." In addition to performing, Crow was given a tour of the interior of the Big Brother house by the HouseGuests.

Crow says she was a fan of "Big Brother" and wanted to participate on the show in some way.

"Big Brother 3" is broadcast three nights a week Wednesday, (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), Thursday and Saturday, (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. The original performance was streamed live on the Internet Tuesday through the show's Web site.
