Wednesday October 29,2008

GWYNETH PALTROW and HUEY LEWIS' rendition of CRUISIN' in 2000 movie DUETS has been voted the worst vocal collaboration of all time, by an online music magazine.

The pair played karaoke champs in the film, and went on to release the Smokey Robinson cover as a single. It reached the number one spot in Australia, but has been singled out as the top flop duet by editors of Spinner.com.

Paula Abdul's pairing with MC Skat Kat for Opposites Attract was named second worst, followed by Sir Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson's 1982 release The Girl is Mine.

No legend is spared in the top 10 - with even Frank Sinatra, Sir Mick Jagger, Madonna and Mariah Carey featuring.

Spinner.com's top 10 worst ever duets is as follows:

1. Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis: Cruisin' (2000)

2. Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat: Opposites Attract (1989)

3. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson: The Girl Is Mine (1982)

4. Bono and Frank Sinatra: I've Got You Under My Skin (1993)

5. Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias: To All The Girls I've Loved Before (1984)

6. Mariah Carey and Busta Rhymes: I Know What You Want (2003)

7. Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley: I've Had The Time of My Life (1987)

8. Hilary and Haylie Duff: Our Lips Are Sealed (2004)

9. Mick Jagger and David Bowie: Dancing in the Streets (1985)

10. Madonna and Justin Timberlake: 4 Minutes (2008).
