Has anybody got a good list of duets they would be willing to share? Everytime someone asks me what good one is I draw a blank spot. I can only reccommed "Picture" & "Summer Nights" so many times.

Thanks, Mojo

Off the top of my head -

Lady Antebellum and Black Eyed Pea songs are popular now.

Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy
Jackson
Summer Nights
Your the One That I Want
Time Warp
Unforgettable
Cruising
The Beat Goes On
I Got You Babe - I prefer the reggae version
Wild Night - John Melloncamp and Me'shell Ndege'ocello
Here Without You - Three Doors Down and Sara Evans
Mockingbird
Paradise By the Dash Board Lights - Aaaarg!

There are a lot of fun songs for 2 people to sing that aren't duets too. I aalways tell people they can sing anything together it doesn't have to be a duet per say. Just switch off singing the verses and sing the chorus together.

500 Miles
867-5309
Brown Eyed Girl

Thanks Babs, I think I'm going to make a seperate list that I keep out of the books. Only show the list when asked about duets again. I'm afraid if I put this page in every book I'll hear duets all night.

I think I have 4 pages in my songbooks just for duets, but here are some I've been singing that I haven't seen mentioned above:

Stumblin' In - Suzy Quattro & Chris Norman (I like the CB version)
All I Ask of You - Phantom of the Opera (I like the Karaoke Hits version better than the more popular Pocket Song version)
Phantom of the Opera - the title song (I like the Song Factory version over PS)
The Prayer - Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli (Pocket Song version)
Oiga - Joan Sebastian & Marisela (Multi-Karaoke version)
Fergalicious - Fergie (PHM version)
Don't Cha - Pussycat Dolls feat. Snoop Dogg (SC version)

Hope that helps, haha.

Good idea or if you don't want to be bothered by people asking for the list, you can put it in the back of your books. :D I seldom have people that go to the last page for anything.

I always enjoy "Like We Never Loved At All" - Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The harmonies aren't too difficult, and in a pinch the male singer can always drop an octave and sing the soprano line.

Does anyone else think that from a lyrical standpoint "We've Got Tonight" doesn't really work as a duet?
Author:  mrscott [ Mon Nov 08, 2010 11:15 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Duets
Here's a few others that come to my mind..

Forever Tonight - Peter Cetera and Crystal Bernard (for the tenors and sopranos)
You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma - David Frizell & Shelly West (baritone/altos)
Reunited - Peaches and Herb
Does He Love You - Reba and Linda Davis
Because of You - Kelly Clarkson and Reba
Highwayman - Highwayman (works for single, duets and group)
Hey Paula - Paul and Paula
Love is Strange - Mickey and Sylvia
The Girl Is Mine - Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney
Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer - Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes


I have heard or done every one of these songs before at either my show or someone else's . Some of them are done quite frequently.

One of my favorite duets is Suddenly by Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton John. I only saw one version ever published (I believe it was Zoom?)

From Broadway, I can never find someone who knows the female part, song I love is The Last Night of the World from Miss Saigon.

From country, In Another's Eyes by Trisha and Garth and also by the same artists, Squeeze Me In.
