    10 Worst Duets Ever: No. 10

    Speaking metaphorically, keeping in mind that 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce, perhaps one of these duet partners should have ditched the other at the musical altar. Stating the same concept in mathematical terms, sometimes 1 + 1 = 0.

    '4 Minutes'
    --Madonna and Justin Timberlake (2008)


    Madge and J.T.'s overwrought performances and Timbaland's marching-band-on-meth production are so over-the-top it's almost hilarious. Meanwhile, in a move that reeks of substance and integrity, '4 Minutes' had its official debut in a Sunsilk shampoo commercial. So, apparently, the song is saving the world from frizz and split ends.

    I can't honestly say if the duet "4 Minutes" was any good. Why? Because I could never get past "1 Minute" of the song.

    No, what's idiotic is that you didn't realize that timberland made the beat for that song...he meant to say timberland not timberlake

    No Timbaland is the producer. You know the guy who did Apologize by One Republic and who did all those Aaliyah songs?

    I believe the writer was referring to the producer of the single, Timbaland, and not to the performer, Justin Timberlake.

    I LOVE "4 minutes"...and obviously a lot of others did too. My friend who is very picky about songs liked this one.....so I think whoever wrote about this one is completely wrong and should get more in tune with what others think about it too. lol
