The Worst Duets We Know

8. “Almost Paradise (Love Theme From Footloose)," Mike Reno and Ann Wilson (1984)
Even in the big-ballad '80s, this one stands out for its vicious, unfettered emoting; the chorus sounds like its singers are in physical pain. Meanwhile, “Love Theme” is a part of the song’s official title, which prompts us to wonder whether No Country for Old Men has a love theme, and if so, if it happens to be Napalm Death’s “Suffer the Children.”  
 
7. “Our Lips Are Sealed,” Hilary and Haylie Duff (2004)
A duet in name only, as the Sisters Duff sound so indistinguishable as to steer this Go-Go's remake into karaoke territory. In a way you have to pity child stars like Hilary. Either they stick with what made 'em big (in Hilary’s case, G-rated balladry and a surprisingly adept pratfall) and bore themselves into an early grave, or they try to scuff up their image and end up like Elizabeth Berkley (of Saved by the Bell and Showgirls fame). Hannah Montana, you’re on the clock.
