Female Duets Karaoke Edition
“Telephone” – Lady Gaga and Beyoncé
Kicking off our popular duet songs section is Queen Bey and the quirky Lady Gaga with Telephone.
It is an upbeat tune with a short rap, and plenty of scope for dance moves, plus some sick accessories like cigarette glasses, Coca-Cola hair rollers, and a caution tape dress!
It was recorded in 2009 and released on 26, January 2010.
The epic video is akin to a short movie at just under 10 minutes long and starts with Gaga being arrested.
Beyoncé collects Gaga from prison and tells her she’s been a very bad girl then they set off to cause some havoc.
Apparently Telephone was written for Britney Spears but she rejected in resulting in Gaga claiming it as her own for her album, The Fame Monster.
“Me Against the Music” – Madonna and Britney Spears
A seamless link to the next option on our famous female duets list!
Introducing the Queen of Pop, Madonna and Britney Spears who sang Me Against the Machine together in 2003 (released October 14), five years after Britney smashed into the 90s pop scene with Baby One More Time.
The pair have remained good friends, Madonna even attended Spears’ wedding to Sam Asghari.
Altogether now – all my people in the crowd…

“When You Believe” – Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston
Let’s slow it down for all you power ballads fans.
When You Believe offers up equal parts to each female singer, so there is no conflict over the best part.
It is sung by two of the most unique and greatest voices in pop, which means a level of skill will be required if singing this seriously.
There can be miracles, when you believe, though hope is frail, it’s hard to, who knows what miracles you can achieve? – If this love song doesn’t give you chills, check your pulse!
Recorded for the 1998 DreamWorks musical animated feature The Prince of Egypt, When You Believe will always go down as one of the best duets ever.
Whitney also features in our guide to Céline Dion duets, documenting when Dion sang in honor of Houston.
“Tell Him” Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand
Continuing with category: goosebumps, we have Tell Him released on 3, November 1997, by the incomparable Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand.
Similar to the other great duet songs on our list, both singers have the opportunity to perform individually then there is a harmonization between the two friends at the end. Perfection.

“Somethin’ Bad” – Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert
While there isn’t much choice when it comes to popular female country duets, with a male/female duo taking precedence (unfortunately), we’re getting a kick out of To Know Him Is To Love Him.

It took the number one spot on the Country Billboard and received notoriety for being the first country female duet number one in over two decades.
