10 Worst Duets Ever: No. 5

'To All the Girls I've Loved Before'
--Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias (1984)

As if the pairing of a stoned country-music legend and a super-suave Latin lothario wasn't strange enough, this too-boring-to-be-funny song is basically a shout-out to every notch on their collective bedposts. Talk about your unpleasant images: Just imagine being in a room with all the girls Willie has loved before.

I disagree on this one. To all the girls I love is a great song. It worked!

It's never a good idea to pair two lead singers and expect a good outcome. They will never harmonize, just try to outshout each other. In this case, the two voices don't complement each other at all. In the other cases, there aren't even two valid voices.

I couldn't stand this when it came out and I still can't....this is some serious trash. It hurts my brain.

Scott, thanks for stating your opinion without resorting to childish tactics of trashing other posters. Your response was well written.

Bravo.

This is a great song. I'm not a big Willie Nelson fan, but this song still is great. It is not one of the worst duets

I wasn't going to comment on this list, out of professional courtesy, but I think i'll break formality and do so anyway. It seems that your criteria for a great duet rests solely on musicality and vocal dynamics, which is, in my opinion, a shallow rule of thumb. Example: the Nelson/Iglesias duet. Not only did the single cross genre boundaries (not unlike Eddie van Halen's ripping solo in "Beat It"), it also paired two vocalists at the top of their craft.
Pigeonholing this single because of its semmingy lopsided vocal talent and "overwrought" performance (a funny thing to say in the Days of Emo) is short-sighted. Take it from someone who has been in the music review game for 20 years: trashing someone's song is fine only as long as you have justification for it.
