'Cruisin'' --Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis (2000)
Lewis and Paltrow play a singing father and daughter in a movie about the professional karaoke circuit? What could possibly go wrong? Well, there's the film's signature duet, a tone-deaf cover of a middle-of-the-road Smokey Robinson hit from 1979, which sounds like it was recorded by a has-been singer and a professional actress. Oh, wait, it was! The single did hit No. 1... in Australia.

Really? I admit some of these were bad, but it just sounds like you wrote down watever duets you could think of.
kkrisekrisat 10-20-2008
i concur whoever put this countdown together missed the really bad ones

I agree, how could anything Huey do be even close to bad. Ppl just hate when a big movie star can also sing

Seriously?????!
Wheres the contribution to Freddie Murcurie (sp) where Eminem sang with Elton John.... For whomever's sake! Then the group singing at the end led by a who knows how messed up Liza Minelle (sp)....
Spelling errors do not take from the point ;)

I agree with Katie. Some of those were good. I think whoever rated these all poor doesn't really appreciate music, REAL music. They weren't great but they were meant to be fun songs.

I have to agree a few of the duets were atrocious but Paula Abdul's Duet and Willie and Julio's were 2 songs I honestly enjoyed. The worst duet I've ever heard and consider Willie Nelson has sounded good with 90% of his singing partners and Dolly Parton always sounded good with her singing partners BUT Dolly and Willie should NEVER have collaborated on the song "Everything's Beautiful"!!!!!

Seems to me that Dolly parton did a really bad remake of Baby its cold outside with someone. I could never listen long enough to find out who.

Yes, I agree that some really bad ones were forgotten. What about Nelly and Tim McGraw? That was very bad!! However, I do agree with the number 1 choice.

Cruisin was a good duet. Paltrow is very popular singer overseas.
kevkoomerat 10-20-2008
Yeah and Slim Whitman was popular overseas as well.....

Aw, I like that song :)
dancingdrama17at 10-20-2008
i think this song was very good because each of them were popular singers or still are. i think the creator thought of the first duets that even came to mind and just typed them in and made up a lame excuse to go with it but all i really have to say directly to him is shame, shame on intagonizing great musicians/artists like frank sinatra who i guarantee has been around longer and knows a lot more about music then the creator himself, unless the creator was simon cowell who really knows his stuff!
lovextheexlifeat 10-20-2008
i kinda liked the girl is mine most of those songs arent THAT bad

Content? It seems internet articles really have to scrape to get topics. Some of these duets weren't amazing but none were really bad........ Dancing in the Streets was FUN!
I wonder if Mozart and Beethoven could have gotten together - would they have made this list?
mberry7at 10-30-2008
No doubt they would. Most of the duets listed are SO far from the worst - I liked several.
rihannonh909at 10-20-2008
i disagree on 4 minutes that is an awesome song!
