Paul McCartney is not really known for his great duets with other celebs, although they became big hits in most cases. Especially his efforts with Michael Jackson are usually slaughtered by Beatles fans.

Am I forgetting something?

Yeah, the Jacko ones are pretty bad. I haven't heard the George Michael one but I can imagine the title is accurate.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

'The Man' is just horrible. I'm embarraressed to even have Pauls name associated with it.

'Get It' is a great tune. Not sure why its even listed.

I gotcha on that account, but I was leaning more towards if it was snubbed by people before. I never heard anything bad about that tune and was just wondering if it was pegged as a crapper.

Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson did a duet on Wilson's album Getting In Over My Head called "A Friend Like You".

I hate to say it since I really really love both these guys, but that's probably Macca's worst duet...

If pushed I'd say 'The Girl Is Mine' just for the awful spoken bits in it. But really, all of them!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Ok, i'm sure we know that McCartney is a genius but what did we do to
deserve The Girl is Mine!!
I remember hearing it years back when i very young.
I never knew if McCartney & Jackson were being serious or having a laugh!
I always avoid the the track.
he's done much better duets. Used to be bad with steve miller for example.

Quoted Text
SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY will never perform his track EBONY AND IVORY again after it was voted the worst song of all time. The Beatles legend - who teamed up with Stevie Wonder for the 1982 song - is embarrassed the track topped the BBC poll for worst duet in history. A source tells British newspaper The Daily Express, "Paul now appreciates the songs hasn't aged well and the word is it definitely won't be on his playlist when he goes on tour next year."

I know he also sang Wide Prairie as a duet with Linda, but then his part was edited out to be included in Linda's 1998 posthoumous album. It would be great to listen to that recording, isn't it?

The Girl Is Mine is hideous.

However, I think The Man is brilliant, it strangely reminds me of the Isley Brothers.

Just keep on hoping that in the end all's well:

According to an 'internal source', Paul's voice on The Girl Is Mine will be replaced by Black Eyed Peas-rapper Will.I.Am. The album Thriller will be remixed on the occasion of its 25th birthday and has experienced some dramatic changes. As far as I'm concerned, Michael has made a good decision at last!

Dance Tonight sounded a bit too high for Kylie to sing. But she sure looked better than Michael Jackson.

yeah her voice is a bit monotonous and she was out of her depth style wise with that song she is more suited for dance numbers

bit off topic was watching the mccartney years last night and had never see nthe video for coming up such a good song and the video is hilarious esp the Ron Mael impression

I wouldn't blame Kylie too much. She was relegated to singing a high harmony over Paul's voice - not much scope for her to shine. Not really a good song for a duet.
Her solo spot (All that jazz?) demonstrated that she has excellent range and a very fine voice.
