Ariana & John Legend fully under stand duets. I wish Kelly Clarkson & Ariana Grande's "Santa Cant You Hear Me" duet was in the good list. Kelly is another candidate that understands giving singers space.
@@laramiaizz it was rough at season 1 but she’s gotten so much better since then. Kelly admitted herself that being on the talk show she had to learn restraint with her big energetic personality. And all the guests and audience love her, why her show is still continuing today!
Mariah x Brian McKnight Mariah x Whitney Houston Mariah x Luther Vandross Mariah x Patti Labelle Mariah x John Legend Mariah x Trey Laurenz Mariah x Miguel Mariah x Neyo Basically Mariah's duets are all satisfying to listen to. She could've been in this video many times.
The fact that Mariah was a background vocalist before her rise to stardom and that she has one of the best musicalities in pop music (able to use scales, patterns, well-placed riffs and runs, etc.) should explain well why she has tons of great duets. She just understands how to complement other singers’ sound with her own sound.
JoJo and Tori’s friendship is adorable and you can clearly see how much respect they have for each other despite them being incredibly different music-wise and personality-wise.
@@slimjam2467 Of course I don’t know these women personally but based on their interviews and social media presence, JoJo is definitely more outgoing and outspoken, often times without a filter (not that it’s a bad thing), while Tori is much more reserved and shy. Love them both though lol.
Mariah could be here like 5 times , her voice just blends so well with males it’s just so soothing love i’ll be there with troy lorenv and endless love with luther
@@Rayquaza676 oh ye forgot about that duet loved it , neither where in their primes but they weren’t sounding too bad , loved the belts in the climax from both
A duet is a lot about mutual respect and being comfortable. The duets where they try to outshine each other end up being a mess and when someone is too nervous it's the same results. I would add Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston duet, it's just another level, my favorite duet of all.
Mariah + John Legend is probably my favorite duet ever! Onew + Rose is so cute! I wish I had a voice like Onew's Xtina + Ariana duet lacked rehearsal. It was a last minute thing. Xtina was supposed to duet with a Whitney hologram but the performance was leaked and received a lot of bad feedback because of the hologram.
Wow didn't know this. That would have been so rude, singing "with" Whitney as a hologram. Who knows whomever Whitney would have wanted to sing together with? Glad they changed their mind.
Xtina's and Ari's performance was prepared in the last minute cuz originally was only Xtina performing a mix of whitney songs. Also Demi had soar throat during Fall in line performance... to make xtina justice I recomend her performance with rascal flatts, Andrea Bocelli, a great big world, alisan porter, etc...
If you want to be honest the reason why Xtina does bad in duets is because she loves to scream over her counterparts and be the main focus. She doesn't understand that in a duet you have to hold back ( when its not her own turn to sing ) and let others shine.
@@lyd2460 you're really sure of yourself huh As if she didn't have amazing duets like the ones named here,plus with Stepping Out with Tony Bennett, Lady Marmalade (five way)
Honorable Mentions for good duets: Tori Kelly and Keke Palmer sing Christmas (Baby Please Come Home and Beyonce and Justin Timberlake singing Until The End of Time.
Best duets for me: 1. When You Believe (Oscar Awards) - Whitney ft. Mariah 2. We're not making love - Michael Bolton ft. Mariah 3. Superwoman - Dionne ft. Pati LaBelle ft. Gladys 4. You make me feel like a Natural Woman - Chaka Khan ft. Patii Labelle 5. Got The Be Real - Patti Labelle ft. Mariah Carey 6. All I want for Christmas is you- Mariah Carey ft. Michael Bublè 7. Home - Michael Bublè ft. Blake Shelton
Jessica Simpson is so talented and had a lot of potential to be a more polished vocalist but what happened and her singing style turned into this caricature thing 😭
@@bioniXking id say she was meant to be a britney x mariah hybrid bc she was controlled by mariahs ex husband at the time 👀 and she had a great voice especially before the label ruined her
@@dolphinriah6590 well she was managed by Mottola but they wanted to have the success bertney and xtine had at the time, her runs and some vocals choices were definitely xtina's. But yes Mottola wanted to have another mariah but he didn't polish her well
Xtina's and demi's performance was really unfortunate, demi was touring before that and she was really nervious, idk who thought it was a good idea to give her that high note (i think it a Bb5), i remember watching the behind the scenes of the mv and she even said she couldnt hit it live and that she practiced so much for it, maybe a slightly lower note would have made her less nervious singing the song that night
Plus if Im correct because of the touring, her vocal health was not the best and she was straining a little. Not to mention the health struggles she was dealing with at this time. (If I am wrong please correct me)
oh my gosh I remember watching that Jojo x tori kelly duet and falling in love with it and now don't talk me down is one of my favourite songs released in recent years...such a beautifully done performance!
Oh my gosh! 😂😂😂 I can’t believe you used the AMAZING Jewel and Jessica duet. I’ve watched that so many times and shut down in second hand embarrassment every time. Oh Jessica lol
Only bad duets for Demi... you could also show the audience some good duets for example for the song "Monsters" or the performance she had with Jojo for "Lonely hearts"
Great video. Onew and Jonghyun has a great male duet with the ballad Please Don't Go. No oversinging, gorgeous harmonies and each one of them shone on their own.
Eh? I think Chloe and Halle were vibing. 🤷🏾♀️ Chloe is the more overt performer of the two, while Halle's stage presence has always been more subtle. So sometimes there's a mismatch, especially in more private performances like that one. As always, the vocals delivered ❤️
But without such context, that performance does look confusing. I mean, not everyone's going to look into the girls' showmanship archetypes to actually get Chloe's mannerism on stage. But it's not like that all the time so yeah
Yea no one can ever say Chloe isn't a great singer! She just to need to meditate a bit when doing performance that requires her to quiet her energy. She is just full of so much energy. She is all fire. She hasn't found her water space yet.
D.O. and Baekhyun - moonlight is probably my single favorite vocal duo, tones, harmonization, blending and chemistry excellent in all aspects imo, and both of them are technically sound vocalists as well
Great video overall! I just thought the choices for Christina Aguilera were a little unfortunate on this one. If you picked her duet with Tony Bennett, that would have been in the “very good” category. And her “live with me” performance with Rolling Stones would have been in the “legendary” category.
In the bad performances, nerves play a role however it seems like the greatest obstacle is *ego* (& grand ones at that). Eg. In *Jennifer & Jessie J's* duet, you could tell that Jennifer had a chip on her shoulder. Jessie J was rather trying to build some chemistry but Jennifer felt like she was better. *Christina* tries to show out because she's aware that she's "The Voice of her generation" but at times less is really more. Interestingly, *Ariana & Demi* were noticeably nervous whilst performing with her. Probably because they look up to her. I've only seen a meme of *Jessica Simpson & Jewel's* performance with Jessica singing "I'm tryna bust". She has always wanted to be taken seriously as a vocalist & a great one at that but these vocal antics have not helped. *Jessie J & Luke James* were both doing the most, both trying to outsing each other. I thought they dated so it would be a more seamless performance. Then again, maybe they were playing with vocal battles for entertainment purposes during their relationship. *Chloe & Halle* usually go together like PB&J, however ever since she went solo, Chloe has been doing the most. If you compare their performances before which were seamless to their performances now, it really looks like she's trying to be the main attraction & low-key (not so low) outshine her sister. I think another thing that doesn't work in *Demi's* favour is musicality, or better yet, not having great musicality. That is what mostly affected her performance with Adam. *Adam* mostly sung it like the version he recorded for American Idol; I'm surprised he didn't get distracted & end up having bad intonation due to her being quite off. With more musicality, Demi would have nailed that performance. Musicality was in full force during *Mariah & John Legend's* performance. Such a lovely performance, they complemented each other so well. *Ariana* was so comfortable performing with *Miley* & it's understandable because they are essentially contemporaries & acquaintances thus Ariana didn't feel as nervous as she did when she performed with Christina plus Miley gives of a very chill vibe. With how much ego gets in the way especially when two vocalists who are quite known for their vocal skills get on the stage, I'm very impressed & pleasantly surprised by *Tori & Jojo,* plus *Morisette & Jessica Sanchez.* It's like they were rooting for each other while excelling. *Rose & Onew's* performance was adorable. The original is such a beautiful song; Colbie Caillat & Jason Mraz sang it so beautifully. It's truly one of the most romantic songs & so pure at the same time. With how Rose was pacing "They don't know how long it takes" & "Every time we say goodbye", I wasn't sure if it would land well, yet it did. The way you come up with these concepts is awe-inspiring! Please do a part 2 of this video plus maybe even one with group performances (many artists singing together). One that comes to mind is Leona, Stevie Wonder, Aaron Neville & Martina McBride. There were musical veterans on that stage yet surprisingly Leona saved it. Another one is Patti performing on the oprah show, I think it was "Imagine" & they shut off her mic towards the end yet you could still hear her 😅 "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" at the inauguration with Mariah, Beyonce, Shakira etc. & the legendary Divas Live with Aretha & Celine (plus Mariah, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain & Carole King).
I agree, Demi is a super super talented vocalist and can do great things. Unfortunately, her musicality is her primary downfall. It stops her from doing as good in duets and it's the main reason she has a reputation for bad runs. Cuz she does have plenty good ones, but it's when she tries to make up something special that things go south, for the most part.
In terms of the Jennifer and Jessie J, I felt like one thing that was an issue was the mic. Jennifer was a hundred times louder than Jessie J, and so the only thing Jessie could do to get some time into there is a bunch of wild runs that were very out of place with Jennifer's booming voice. Overall, I think they naturally weren't the best combo to put together to sing
Also, side note, Jessie was way too loud and sharp. Her twangy / cutting voice just didn't fit the song especially nets to Luke's liquidy smooth texture. I don't think they'd sound good together on any song lol
@@Sloppyjoey1 I got that vibe as well & that's what made me say "Then again, maybe they were playing with vocal battles for entertainment purposes during their relationship." They were trying to outsing each other in a fun way. Ultimately it didn't work for the song. I agree, Jessie was quite loud & Luke James runs were out of place in certain parts. The failed whistle note from Jessie didn't help.
As a big fan of both, I feel like xtina was doing too much with Ariana plus she sounded like she needed to hear the song a few more times before preforming it, cuz she was going all over the place and not going with the flow. Ariana was singing the original while Xtina was preforming her own version if that's make sense.
I was expecting the legendary duet between Mariah and Whitney with"When You Believe". Oh, well! 😮💨 Oh, and also, Luther and Mariah's "Endless Love"! EDIT: OH! AND BRIAN AND MARIAH'S "WHENEVER YOU CALL" TOO! Although, I prefer her solo version, though. Nevertheless, it was still a great duet.
Christina needs to not sing with the young girls they get too nervous rightfully so. In her defense the Ariana duet came together in on day or so since it replaced the scrapped Whitney hologram performance
I know this are in spanish but check out, Amor gitano by Beyoncé and Alejandro Fernández, and Hoy tengo ganas de ti by Alejandro Fernández and Xtina I absolutely loooove how Beyonce and Xtina sound in spanish
Honesty I understand why Christina didn't give a shit for the Ariana Grande duet. She was supposed to do the Whitney tribute, which got cancelled last minute.
This video made me go back to earliest 2000's years when my religion was watching Mtv all day long. BTW, Kelly Clarkson and P!nk duet was one the most amazing duets ever. Their voices blended perfectly and they didn't try to outshine each other, you could even to smell the respect and admiration from both of them.
Jessica... hahahahahahhahha That crazy erratic behaviour while singing... That crazy mouth... She's crazy good when performing accordingly but in this performance I could Jewel was ABSOLUTELY afraid of her... HAHAHAHAHA
OMG ! Fall in Line was a MESS ! Duets between big singers always turn into sing-off battles, those singers try so hard to out-sing eachother that they end up ruining the song, which is ridiculous
Chloe tries so hard to be one of those legendary female performers like Madonna/Britney/Janet and Beyonce, she does everything on the stage to get everyone's attention.
Ok no Chloe is inspired by those artists & dancers so she samples it but she never tries to be em because she knows that Janet / Madonna & Brittney have already created a successful career for em and she wants to make her own. Sampling doesn’t mean u have to become the artist and Chloe doesn’t do that at all
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 I never talked about samples or inspirations, i just said that she indeed tries very hard to be seen as such and sometimes forgets what's the real point of performing that is enjoying and having sense of musicality and respect for the stage or anybody she's with, take her video with Halle in this video as an example, she needs to learn how to balance, i'm sure she loves music and performing and is working her ass off to reach such level no doubt but she's putting a lot of pressure into herself and not understanding what balanced perfectionism is like Beyonce's for example, what i meant is that sometimes overdancing or overperforming can look messy or cringy, she needs to find herself in the stage first before imitating so much, of course she can is normal cause those are her inspirations, but never too much to the point you are like them, she tries very hard on giving the Beyoncé vibe and its a fact, its not bad at all but also not that good cause she's a developed performer/artist who has credit as her own musician.
@@moonlightespt3818I don't think Chloe is trying to imitate anyone else, she's just trying to find herself. She's always been more extra and expressive than Halle, and as they get older it's becoming more prominent. All the women you named recieved the same, and similar criticism. You just have to give them time to perfect their craft.
Wheein "Forget Me Now" at Duet song Festival has got to be one of the most beautiful duets I've heard in korean music. Wheein's versatility as a vocalist & perfect pitch partnered with a powerful belter partner. Ugh *chefskiss* I hope you take time to listen to it :) and maybe, just maybe, it could be part of your next video if you ever decide to do a part 2 ;)
IIRC the christina and ariana duet was really last minute. Christina was supposed to be performing with the Whitney hologram. But then the family felt the gram was not ready. So they brought in ari. It does feel like christina just learned the song and ari was trying her best to impress lol. Also wtf is Jessica Simpson doing?! 😂😂🤣🤣💀💀LMAO
Honorable mention: Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross "Endless Love". Pure perfection.
Or Whenever you call, Mariah and Brian McKnight
PUREEEEE PERFECTION one of the best of all time
Or I'll be there MC and Trey
Luther Vandross? Thought that was Beyoncé
When You Believe.
Mariah Carey has some of the best duets.
PERIOD!!!!!!
True
Ariana & John Legend fully under stand duets. I wish Kelly Clarkson & Ariana Grande's "Santa Cant You Hear Me" duet was in the good list. Kelly is another candidate that understands giving singers space.
I wish she knows how to give space to her talkshow's guests..
They outdid themselves on Santa Can't You Hear Me
Beautiful duet
@@laramiaizz it was rough at season 1 but she’s gotten so much better since then. Kelly admitted herself that being on the talk show she had to learn restraint with her big energetic personality.
And all the guests and audience love her, why her show is still continuing today!

Fun and true fact: Mariah's all duets were all unforgettable and one of the best.
Mariah x Brian McKnight
Mariah x Whitney Houston
Mariah x Luther Vandross
Mariah x Patti Labelle
Mariah x John Legend
Mariah x Trey Laurenz
Mariah x Miguel
Mariah x Neyo
Basically Mariah's duets are all satisfying to listen to. She could've been in this video many times.
Mariah just on different leaque.
mariah x aretha
The fact that Mariah was a background vocalist before her rise to stardom and that she has one of the best musicalities in pop music (able to use scales, patterns, well-placed riffs and runs, etc.) should explain well why she has tons of great duets.

You forgot Olivia Newton john
Mariah x Micheal Bolton is also so underrated
JoJo and Tori’s friendship is adorable and you can clearly see how much respect they have for each other despite them being incredibly different music-wise and personality-wise.
How would u describe the differences in their personality

@@chikoritaleaf Exactly! It's adorable how often they mention each other and talk each other up on the internet, too!

Mariah and Whitney represent the most awaited and legendary duet ever.
The rest are just footnotes.
true they are the true assets of vocals

John Legends has like some of the best duet songs Like I'm Gonna Lose You, Lay Me Down, the song with Wendy, the one with Mariah.
Glad you gave Jojo and Tori the recognition! They deserve it
Oh my gosh! 😂😂😂 I can’t believe you used the AMAZING Jewel and Jessica duet. I’ve watched that so many times and shut down in second hand embarrassment every time. Oh Jessica lol
Lady GaGa & Christina Aguilera Do What You Want also is quite good
I love Chloe but girl match the energy of your stage partner, that was wild
Only bad duets for Demi... you could also show the audience some good duets for example for the song "Monsters" or the performance she had with Jojo for "Lonely hearts"
Irresistible with fall out boys is amazing !
Not to mention her Disney breakout was a duet she’s performed live a million times.
Where are Kelly’s duets???! John Legend, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, Ledisi, Reba, P!nk
Mariah Carey & Luther Vandross
Mariah Carey & Olivia Newton John
Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston
Mariah Carey & John Legend
On jojo and tori, their voices are both angelic and have beautiful head voices! They compliment each other! Great powerful voices as well
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston the best duet ever.
3:02 It’s always seems like JHud is trying to out sing everybody.. unsuccessfully 😩
How did I not know Jessica and Morissette did a DUET ?!! I feel like my whole life is a lie!
Literally
Omg that titanium is awkward af
Great video. Onew and Jonghyun has a great male duet with the ballad Please Don't Go. No oversinging, gorgeous harmonies and each one of them shone on their own.

Great video overall! I just thought the choices for Christina Aguilera were a little unfortunate on this one. If you picked her duet with Tony Bennett, that would have been in the “very good” category. And her “live with me” performance with Rolling Stones would have been in the “legendary” category.
MAriah Carey and Whitney Houston now
That was fun. You should do a version of group performances (more than two soloists, i.e. Grammy tributes and the voice coaches).
Mariah and Luther?
The first duet is probably my favorite duet I have ever heard omg
Kelly clarkson and Pink should've been included singing everybody hurts. They were awesome!
This made me laugh so hard this is why you're my favorite vocal RUclipsr 😭😭Chloe was killing me tweaking out there next to Hallie.
Mariah Carey x Whitney Houston is unmatched. When You Believe is one of the most underrated duets ever. I have no idea why it did not go #1
Christina and Demi is one of the best ones.
The two Xtina’s duets you showed were objectively bad but you could have shown at least one of the many great ones she has had throughout her career..
for real
He doesn't have to because there's no such rule. He picked those little clips from the ones that had been suggested by the viewers as well.
yes he’s a fan who turned to be a hater. nothing new.
I don't know how could they consider Fall In Line bad
The studio version is a masterpiece
Sometimes live performances just don't go as expected
@@davidao2551 The studio version is great but this live was not giving. That's why he said it was bad. Which makes sense obviously.
For me the best Christina Aguilera duet is her Do What U Want with Lady Gaga.
Thanks for including My Rosé and Onew , such a good duets ❤️
Demi and Christina was a screaming contest
Unsurprising! They both often do tooooooooo much as solo artist, so when u combine two car accidents, well...

Ariana and Miley’s duet got me through some hard times, and I wasn’t even a fan of either of them 😭
As a big fan of both, I feel like xtina was doing too much with Ariana plus she sounded like she needed to hear the song a few more times before preforming it, cuz she was going all over the place and not going with the flow. Ariana was singing the original while Xtina was preforming her own version if that's make sense.
I think Aretha and Mariah singing Chain of Fools is one of the best ever live duets
Mariah and Patti’s diet was good too
I was expecting the legendary duet between Mariah and Whitney with"When You Believe". Oh, well! 😮💨 Oh, and also, Luther and Mariah's "Endless Love"!
EDIT: OH! AND BRIAN AND MARIAH'S "WHENEVER YOU CALL" TOO! Although, I prefer her solo version, though. Nevertheless, it was still a great duet.
Jewel was fighting every breath in her body that wanted to come out as a laugh and I can hardly stand it 💀
One thing I like about Demi is she goes for it every time. She doesn’t try to dodge notes even if they’re not 100%. I can respect that.
There are definitely clips of her dodging notes
@@MotoGPForever4527 Sure but I always see ones of her going for them and not hitting the mark
Definitely!
and NEVER uses lip-sync! Major respect
The JoJo and Tori performance is everything! So so good!
Christina needs to not sing with the young girls they get too nervous rightfully so. In her defense the Ariana duet came together in on day or so since it replaced the scrapped Whitney hologram performance
Tori Kelly and Jennifer Hudson’s duet was incredible
The song HALLELUJAH so perfect.
I feel like Christina doesn't want to share the spotlight with anyone, she doesn't do well in duets 🤷🏻♀️
Whitney and Mariah was the ultimate duet
I know this are in spanish but check out, Amor gitano by Beyoncé and Alejandro Fernández, and Hoy tengo ganas de ti by Alejandro Fernández and Xtina
I absolutely loooove how Beyonce and Xtina sound in spanish
Honesty I understand why Christina didn't give a shit for the Ariana Grande duet. She was supposed to do the Whitney tribute, which got cancelled last minute.
This video made me go back to earliest 2000's years when my religion was watching Mtv all day long. BTW, Kelly Clarkson and P!nk duet was one the most amazing duets ever. Their voices blended perfectly and they didn't try to outshine each other, you could even to smell the respect and admiration from both of them.
Demi was nervous and also sick during the duet with Christina.
Jessica... hahahahahahhahha That crazy erratic behaviour while singing... That crazy mouth... She's crazy good when performing accordingly but in this performance I could Jewel was ABSOLUTELY afraid of her... HAHAHAHAHA
Oh my god Jessica Simpson what are you doing??? How is that clip of her not on every Cringe Compilation on RUclips? 😂
When talent isnt enough to make a great duet, and R.E.S.P.E.C.T is equally important
Honourable mention: Céline Dion and Andrea Bocelli THE PRAYER live
OMG ! Fall in Line was a MESS !
Duets between big singers always turn into sing-off battles, those singers try so hard to out-sing eachother that they end up ruining the song, which is ridiculous
okay but the way you say "and Onew" its utterly adorable
Where's Faouzia and John Legend duet ?
I loove the 'Don't Talk Me Down' duet!! And part 2 please!!! Keke Palmer and Tori Kelly's 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)?
Mimi and John Legend - magical! 👍👍
but I Love fall in line so much!!!!
Tori Kelly and Jojo's duet is iconic!! Two of the best singers of their generation!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They know how to use their instruments really well.
Chloe tries so hard to be one of those legendary female performers like Madonna/Britney/Janet and Beyonce, she does everything on the stage to get everyone's attention.
i mean she doesnt even try too hard shes already on that level tbh
Ok no Chloe is inspired by those artists & dancers so she samples it but she never tries to be em because she knows that Janet / Madonna & Brittney have already created a successful career for em and she wants to make her own. Sampling doesn’t mean u have to become the artist and Chloe doesn’t do that at all
@@grandeflamesbutera3949 I never talked about samples or inspirations, i just said that she indeed tries very hard to be seen as such and sometimes forgets what's the real point of performing that is enjoying and having sense of musicality and respect for the stage or anybody she's with, take her video with Halle in this video as an example, she needs to learn how to balance, i'm sure she loves music and performing and is working her ass off to reach such level no doubt but she's putting a lot of pressure into herself and not understanding what balanced perfectionism is like Beyonce's for example, what i meant is that sometimes overdancing or overperforming can look messy or cringy, she needs to find herself in the stage first before imitating so much, of course she can is normal cause those are her inspirations, but never too much to the point you are like them, she tries very hard on giving the Beyoncé vibe and its a fact, its not bad at all but also not that good cause she's a developed performer/artist who has credit as her own musician.
@@moonlightespt3818I don't think Chloe is trying to imitate anyone else, she's just trying to find herself. She's always been more extra and expressive than Halle, and as they get older it's becoming more prominent. All the women you named recieved the same, and similar criticism. You just have to give them time to perfect their craft.
'Body and Sou'l by Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse is a masterpiece
Yes part 2!
Don't dream is over is literally my favourite duet.
JoJo and Tori💗💗
Kelly Clarkson also has many great Duets, including with some of the people here.
Wheein "Forget Me Now" at Duet song Festival has got to be one of the most beautiful duets I've heard in korean music. Wheein's versatility as a vocalist & perfect pitch partnered with a powerful belter partner. Ugh *chefskiss* I hope you take time to listen to it :) and maybe, just maybe, it could be part of your next video if you ever decide to do a part 2 ;)
Morissette and the other guy singing “you are the reason” i really cried😭
If you ever get a chance check out Hyolyn and Ailee 'Let it go' performance if you haven't already. I really love it.
We want a part two.....
Add perfect Beyoncé and Ed
Onew is great at duets, mainly with the other Shinee members
Opening the video with Miley Cyrus I KNOW THATS RIGHT
I remember Tori and Jojo use to sing a lot together on RUclips.
You check out Jennifer Hudson and George Huff duet of I'll Be There. Its very beautiful 👏🏾
IIRC the christina and ariana duet was really last minute.
Christina was supposed to be performing with the Whitney hologram. But then the family felt the gram was not ready.
So they brought in ari.
It does feel like christina just learned the song and ari was trying her best to impress lol.
Also wtf is Jessica Simpson doing?! 😂😂🤣🤣💀💀LMAO
It would be also amazing if you include Davichi in the future videos.
They are bombs in Korea
