- Paul Mac Cartney and Stevie Wonder: "Ebony & Ivory" (I've just heard on this one recently, the lyrics are a cliché contest ) or
- Paul Mac Cartney and Michael Jackson: "Say, Say, Say" (this one is funny when you think of what will become of their future relations)
And the winner is...

Paul McCartney has a knack of turning stuff to shite.

Rick James and Teena MArie "Fire and Desire "
Rick James and Smokey Robinson "Ebony Eyes"
Rick James and Chaka Khan "Slow Dancin'"

I think Rick James is a horrible singer who
oversings on ballads.

Madonna and Prince

enrique iglesias and whitney houston ::puking:::

I think "The Girl is Mine" is crappier than "Say, Say, Say".

Raven said:


Amen! That's the worst track on Thriller.

Ricky Martin and Madonna- Be Careful

and it's not a duet but that Lady Marmalade remake makes me want to kill something.

Raven said:

i think 'say, say, say' was awful. but i like: the girl is mine.

PFunkjazz said:

you aren't too Popular with Me today.Rick James might not have a Great or Good Voice but I can think of a Million Worse Duets than anything Rick has duet with easily.Rick is one of My-All-Time Favorite Artists Ever, but I shouldn't be Shock you are the Person who Champions Bruce Springsteen??

Bing Crosby&David Bowie "White CHirstmas" talk about Odd-Pairings?

Donnie Walhberg & Seiko - "The Right Combination"

Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney- The Girl Is Mine
Sting, Rod Stewart and Bryan Adams- All for Love

PFunkjazz said:

I agree with you, but I haven't heard his duet with Chaka Khan.

Raven said:

I think you're absolutely right.


Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand...whateverthebloodyhellthatsongwascalled.

TRON said:

Actually,I like both of the duets that MJ did with Paul McCartney.I think the weakest track on 'Thriller' is the silly title track ("there ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes,girl"???).

Um anything with Ja-Rule in it. One word for you bro: ENGLISH!!!

Can you believe 'The Girl Is Mine' was actually the lead-off single for THRILLER?!!!

Being "poular" with a fellow p.orger +0.0001
Having Rick James as an "All-Time Favorite Artists Ever" +1
Totally missing the point I made about Bruce Springsteen AND bringing it up again!! -500

Total points -498.999

Some others choices for me:
- any duet involving the Elton John of these las 20 years (so, not "Don't go breaking my heart"), or Tom Jones
- the Robbie Williams / Kidman nonsense (even if I respect Nicole for "The Others"), I believe that Willams has made another crappy one with KMinogue...,
- one of the countless duets of Celine Dion ( with Streisand or R-Kelly or...),
- the terribles wanna-be-pop grotesques duets of Pavarotti

Dunno who sang it but it was something like "Tonight I celebrate my love for you..." makes me ill to this day

jnoel said:

Elton & Kiki Dee?
It's but...it's good ...

TheSkinMechanic said:

That's Roberta Flack & Peabo Bryson.

I like every duet I've ever heard by Roberta and Donny Hathaway.

Supernova said:

Elton John sucks hot cheesewhiz, I kinda liked that little guitar riff Davey Johnstone squeezes out.

PFunkjazz said:

Even 1970s Elton?

Supernova said:

I went thru and purged his stuff out of my collection. I think I kept MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER, but I don't play it much anyways.

PFunkjazz said:

To tell you the truth I don't own anything by Elton anymore either. Right now there are much more important things for me to replace in my music collection, but I like some of his '70s music.

PFunkjazz said:

You Got alot of Nerve.George Clinton While a Genius No Doubt&I have alot of His Stuff, Vocally He makes Nate Dogg Sound Like Billy Eckstine.George Clinton on "Holly Wants to Go to California Sounds like a Frog getting Pimped Slapped.trying to talk about Rick James Singing with a George Clinton Logo -1,000&Half.Clinton is Badd but His Slow Jams,Fast Jams with that Voice? are down Right Laughable.if you had a Arthur Prysock or Lenny Williams or Jackie Wilson Logo I might Listen at you dissing on Rick but George Clinton with that Voice? that is too Funny. BTW Elton John 70's Stuff is tight.

Mary J. Blige & Shakira When they did Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" on that DIVAS Las Vegas show...I'm sure a lot of the audience members thought they were in a battlefield!!! One or the other should of sang it. Or found voices that complimented eachother.

mistermaxxx said:

ROTFLMAO

In all honesty though,I don't consider Rick James or George Clinton to be great singers.They're "funksters" so it really doesn't matter,except when they attempt to do a "serious" ballad (although Rick sounds pretty decent on "Ebony Eyes").

mistermaxxx said:

Funny how you're tossing GC into the argument when we're talking about duets. That's supposed to hurt my feelings? I know Clinton's voice is hoarse. You ain't telling me nothing new. When have you heard GEo. Clinton sing a "give up the panties" ballad like Rick James? ANSWER NEVER. Everybody with half a brain knows "Holly" was a joke played on that piano bar rotuine. GEEZ!

I ain't really into choosing one artists' music over another because an imagined fanboy competition. I like whomever I like because I do. Though, given a choice, as I was recently, of paying to see Rick James or George Clinton's band I chose PFUNK and really only went out of my way once to see Rick James (tix were free). I don't dig listening to his tortured, strained singing on ballads. Surely you don't place Rick in the mix with PRysock and Wilson?

James, like GC, is best at singing funk ditties cuz he just can't sing those ballads. Now there are plenty of bros in PFUNK who can sing those songs like Paul Hill, Garry Shider, Steve Boyd, Lige Curry as well as a few outstanding female singers too!
