How to choose a karaoke duet
A good duet gives both singers a real part, swaps lines often enough that nobody waits around, and has at least one moment where you sing together. Short lines and a lot of back and forth (like "Don't Go Breaking My Heart") are the safest, and slow, quiet duets are the most forgiving for people who are not confident.
Match the song to your range rather than to the singer you like most. If one of you sings low and the other high, pick a duet written for a low and a high voice. If neither of you is sure, choose a duet with a famous chorus: the room will help, and nobody is exposed.
Match the mood to the room too. A romantic ballad lands with a quiet table and a couple, an upbeat duet works best when people are already warmed up, and a silly one is the right call when you want the whole group laughing together instead of listening politely.
Duet ideas by situation
For a couple: pick the romantic filter. Slow songs let you sing to each other instead of at the screen.
For two friends: pick upbeat or silly. A duet you can act out is more fun than one you have to sing perfectly.
For coworkers or a team night: pick well-known pop or classics, because the whole room can join the chorus.
For a first-timer: pick a classic with short lines and a famous chorus, and let the other singer carry the verses.
No partner at the table? Add two or three friends, and every pair can pick their own duet. If you would rather everybody sing in short turns instead of in pairs, Grab The Phone Karaoke is a free party game where one phone gives out a word and the first to grab it sings.
Tips for singing a duet well
Decide in advance who takes which verse and who starts the chorus. Two people trying to lead at the same time is the most common duet problem.
Look at your partner, not the screen, whenever you know the line. It makes the performance feel like a conversation and the audience follows your eyes.
Sing the choruses a touch quieter than you feel like. Two microphones at full volume sound louder and sharper than one, so leave room for the other voice.

Frequently asked questions
What are good duet songs for karaoke?
Good karaoke duets give both singers an equal part and have a famous chorus the room can join. Classics such as "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee, "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper all work well. The generator above has dozens more to choose from.
What are the best duet songs for two friends?
Upbeat or silly duets work best for friends, because you can act them out instead of worrying about notes. Try "Summer Nights" from Grease, "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, or "Jackson" by Johnny Cash and June Carter. Use the Silly or Upbeat mood filter to get more ideas.
What are romantic duet songs for couples?
Slow, warm duets suit couples: "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, "Perfect Duet" by Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé, or "A Whole New World" by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. Pick the Romantic filter for the full list.
How does the duet song generator work?
Choose a genre, a decade and a mood if you want to narrow things down, then tap Pick a duet. You get the song title, the original artists and a one-line tip. Tap Pick 3 options to get three candidates and let the pair vote. Everything runs in your browser, with no sign-up.
Can more than two people sing a duet?
Yes. Groups often sing duets with the verses split between two lead singers and everybody else joining the chorus. Songs like "Summer Nights" and "Under Pressure" are especially good for this because the whole room knows the shared parts.
Are these the original artists?
The artists shown are the ones credited on the best-known recording. Karaoke versions are usually re-recorded backing tracks, and the exact key and the lead assignments can differ, so check the version before you start singing.
