Thank you so much for doing this article. I had never heard a few of these! very informative…didn’t know what I was missing out on.
Brandy and Monica. Dont like them 2day but thy started the mainstream diva double team. Ever since, they haven’t had any diva double team to match their single.
Queen Whitney and Queen Mariah!
Some of those aren’t even duets
You missed Donna Summer and Barbra’s song called “No More Tears” and as for this post…I have no comment.
Brandy-Monica & Whitney-Mariah!!!!
Ciara and Janet Feedback?

Always shading xtina…beatiful sets her apart from every even stripped album. If she had her ups or downs she has always pulled throughy like a true champ and singer…..true talent always shines….

Tell us some of your favorites? What diva duos did we miss?
Britney Spears/Madonna – ‘Me Against the Music’
whitney is mentioned 5 times… she still is a queen, whitney -mariah and whitney deborah the best..
Sorry, but T all the diva duets are whack. There’s not a decent one in the mix. Divas shouldn’t duet because it’s always a let down. The only memorable “duet” was THE BOY IS MINE but that’s more of a straight forward collaboration.
Love don’t live here anymore is my all time fave, much as i love Alicia that song w/ B wasn’t the deal, whitney and mariah when u believe, whitney and deborah c**, boy is mine, alicia and xtina- impossible!
oh yea, “Count on me”, my graduation song! Sniff, memories!
Beyonce/Shakira
Mary J./Aretha Fr
!
Whitney Houston/
Mariah Carey – ‘When
You Believe’ They SLAYED This Song Even Though Whitney Kept Trying To Snatch Mariah’s Wig I’m The Live Performances 😉
#Deal
Am I the only one who would love to see Beyonce and Christina do a duet and than perform it together??? Best duet has to be the Monica and Brandy the Boy is Mine and the worst has to be Rihanna and Britney. Loved Me against the music video and song.
I don’t know why Beyonce and Alicia didn’t release the video for their collabo.
I’ll go for BRANDY & MONICA.
Aside of the fact that the song came out during one of the best years of my entire life, that duet had EVERYTHING you could dream of: two up & coming young beautiful ladies of the same age, with equal success, looking the same, singing the same, loving and fighting for the same guy and killing them harmonies!
A lot of the other duets where expected by the audience and by critics: Whitney/Mariah, Beyonce/Alicia, Beyonce/Lady Gaga, Celine/Barbra. But BRANDY/MONICA is an ALL TIME WIN!
And BILLBOARD agree with me:

Britney y Madona a sido el dueto de la Historia, Britney y Rihanna, Beyonce y shakira.
It´s so OBVIOUS Whitney/Mariah and Cleine/Barbra are the best duets on here and BY FAR. I mean, did you see the QUALITY of those songs? The REAL voices, in fact some of the greatest EVER?
Anything Britney, Rihanna, etc involved can´t hold a candle next to those 2 duets. And also sorry for Brandy or Monica fans but they just can´t compare to those 4 DIVAS
I´m glad there are still people with common sense and agreeing
Whitney/Mariah
Celine/Barbra
are the best. the rest of that list can´t make you shiver. Those 4 ladies are on the highest league
telephone & me against the music >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Brandy & Moinca = EPIC
Whitney & Deborah C** = BIG
Whitney & Mariah = GREAT
MJB & King B = HOT R&B
Jen & Fanny = Powerful
Celine & Barb = Class
That Rihanna/Britney remix has to go down as the worst duet of all time…..lmao
#icant
Britney Spears & Madonna is full of epicness.
ITS BRITNEY B**** ALWAYS RULES
Brandy & Monica is the best duet! everything from the singing, production and lyrics. The opening intro gets me everytime.
I’m sorry but the Beyonce and Alicia song was horrible. Severe let down! Brandy and Mo are second to anything WHitney has done, and that is a huge compliment!
1. Telephone – Lady Gaga / Beyoncé
2. Me Against the Music – Madonna / Britney Spears
3. Put It In A Love Song – Alicia Keys / Beyoncé
4. Feedback – Janet Jackson / Ciara
5. Same Script, Different Cast Whitney Houston / Deborah C**
6. Trust – Keyshia Cole / Monica
7. The Boy Is Mine – Brandy / Monica
8. When You Believe – Mariah Carey / Whitney houston

BRANDY + MONICA ——————->
The Rest Can NEVER
Whitney + Mariah duet did slay thought
My favorite duets of all time are:
Brandy/Monica “THE BOY IS MINE” &
Donna Summer/Barbara Streisand “NO MORE TEARS”
One that is actually a trio but still a great fave of mine:
Whitney/Faith/Kelly Price “HEARTBREAK HOTEL”
* Sorry just had to chime in that I am sooooo glad that AKeys/Bey duet (video) NEVER saw the light of day. The worst use of 2 superstar singers ever!
Oh yeah, this is the best article. Here we go.
1. Whitney & Mariah
2. Mary J & Faith
3. Mary J & L Boogie
4. Monica & Brandy
5. Whitney, Faith, Kelly Price
6. Lady Gaga & Bey
7. Mary J & Bey
8. Whitney & CeCe Winans
These are my favorites in no particular order, just saying.
BRITNEY and MADONNA of course
Anything with Ms Whitney Houston will do.
All the other songs are too inferior for THE GREAT LACEFRONCEs good taste
T***** Caca and BLEACHonce had the worst duet out of them because they were GIMMICKS and the song sucked like THE GREAT LACEFRONCE predicted.Also to make things even greater , BOTH their albums FLOPPED LMAOOOOO
Also Manfreds new single Gimmick all your Luvin is a FLOP and he is stale.Queen Khia doesnt have to bring GIMMICKS like Dicki GARBAJ in order to stay relevant.TBH THE GREAT LACEFRONCE was not impressed by his RASPY vocals on Britneys track .Manfred should go sit down and take his GIMMICKS and his nephew Steven with him.
Queen Ri and Janet will slay as a collabo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Jennifer hudson ft fantasia im his only women

OK…..good night
EXACTLY!!
I like the collobarations of Whitney/Deborah, Keshia/Monica, Monica/Brandy(the boy is mine), Mary/Faith. But the best as of now, right now is the one by Mary/Beyonce “A Woman’s Love” their vocal’s are crazy and both sang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and put their feelings all in the song.
I’m sorry but I thought When You Believe was one of the most boring duets EVER, even though both ladies vocals were pure perfection on the track and during live performances.
Out of this I would go with MATM by Pop Queen Madonna, and the Princess of Pop Brit. Also, TBIM by Bran, and Mon. Ah yeah….Count On Me was one of the greatest duets ever. There is no way WYB by Mariah, and Whit tops that one. CeCe and Whit threw it down on that one.
I thought the duet between Mariah, and Whit could have been better than what it was.
The best by far is Celine/Barbra and Whitney/Mariah but in Pop Music, real Pop that’s would be a duet by Cher and Madonna or Madonna and Lady Gaga, the Britney Spears duet with Madonna is great is part of Pop music now but will lost in front of a due by Madge/Gaga.
My opinion is:
Lady Gaga and Beyonce collaborations doesn’t fits together despite the success of the singles, i mean is like Madonna would duet with J.Lo or Rihanna but everything could happen (see Nicki and M.IA. collab.), Aretha and Whitney are classic, but i would like to see a collaboration between Celine Dion and Whitney Houston that would be Epic.
@onyx
Wow have u noticed we totally agreed again? I said on my comment the two best BY FAR are those two… Whithey; Mariah, Celine, Barbra…wow. By miles. And of course Madonna/Gaga would be better than with Britney. Come on… that´s obvious
@JohnVidal
could this mean something, you and I had more in com…that we think….
How come I don’t see Auto-tune listed here? He’s done MANY collaborations.. L’il Wayne, Drake, Rihanna, T-Pain in da Ass, Britney … the list goes on and on!
here we go with another poll with britney stans voting multitudes of times. there’s no way in hell she would be busting out the way she is without cheating stans. Brandy & Monica mops the floor with mdna & britney.
the best duet by far is Brandy & Monica! i haven’t heard them all but the ones i’ve heard don’t even come close.
i agree with ‘4flopstay’ barbra s and donna summers ‘enough is enough’ should have been on here. they’d be my next pick.
@ xtinaco,ing2012…
i agree that xtina is always getting shaded but what does that have to do with this post. did she do a duet with someone?
Xtina with Britney
Xtina with gaga
Xtina with Mariah
Impossible things to happen.. but im hoping…
britney and madonna Best duet
me against the music was a f****** flop you f***** ass stans of pop music make me sick!!!!! F*** will vote for their fav no matter what.
I love Rihanna but I will always keep it real.
Beyonce artist of the decade and anything but them terrible pop duets wins best duet.
I HAVE SPOKEN B****.
IF ME AGAINTS THE MUSIC IS FLOP SO WHY IT HAVE MORE VOTES SORRY BUT BEYONCE WILL NEVER WIN BECAUSE HER FANS WAS LAZY
FOR YOU IRENE BRITNEY STAN WAS NEVER CHEATING WE ARE JUST MORE AND ACTIVE TO VOTE BRITNEY
Impossible by Christina Aguilera & Alicia Keys>>>> every song on this list.
I think the best duet is Brandy & Monica.
Whitney and Mariah has the most musically impressive one.
Beyonce and Shakira visually was perfect (as far as blending two artists goes). I still wish that duet happend between Janet and Aaliyah, that would have been so hot!
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
britney n madonna ….. sensasional in the world…
it think it has to be brandy and monica….. they started it and that song is the most successful
ME AGAINTS THE MUSIC BY BRITEY AND MADONNA BECAUSE ITS TOTALLY ENTERTAINING WITH A COMBINATION OF SING AND DANCE 100% EPIC
I THINK MORE PEOPLE CHOOSE AN TRULY ENTERTAINING ARTIST THAN A SUPERTALENTED ARTIST THATS WHY ME AGAINTS THE MUSIC BY BRITNEY AND MADONNA IS ON THE LEAD
Whitney & Mariah!!!! And brandy & monica
Monica slays!!!!!
