Solo Duet: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

== [[Advertising]] ==

* One WeightWatchers commercial has Jennifer Hudson singing a duet with herself from her ''[[American Idol]]'' days, in part to show off her changes in weight from then to now.

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* In one episode of ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', the Black Beauty Sisters duplicate themselves and sing both of their songs at once.

* The ''[[Lucky Star]]'' ending theme collection album has Konata singing a full version of "Sore ga Ai Deshou", the opening theme from ''[[Full Metal Panic!|Fumoffu]]''. First she imitates the original version and then she invites herself to sing a duet. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYemOkyAliQ "Sugoi ne, atashi?"]

* Melfina sings a song that resembles one of the ending credits songs in one of the later episodes of [[Outlaw Star]] in a moment to herself.

* In [[My-HiME]] Fumi and Mashiro's character song is a duet with both parts sung by [[Yukana]] since she's the one who voices [[Talking to Herself|both characters]]. No such opportunities in [[Mai-Otome]] since Fumi's only in the back story.

 

== [[Film]] ==

* In ''[[White Christmas]]'', Rosemary Clooney sings both parts in the "Sisters" number she performs with Vera-Ellen.

 

* In Series 2, Episode 4 (Duets) of ''[[Glee]]'' - Kurt Hummel sings a duet from ''Viktor/Viktoria'' by himself.

** And of course, in season 1, episode 9, Kurt and Rachel have a 'diva-off' to see who will get the solo in Defying Gravity Wicked... even though it is a duet.

*** Although "Defying Gravity" is technically a duet, the other part sings briefly, so not a full duet like most of the other examples on the page.

** Similar to the above, Rachel and Kurt do the duet treatment to "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina", which Kurt singing to the Warblers while Rachel sings in an empty auditorium.

 

== [[Music]] ==

* Aled Jones recorded a cover of "Walking in the Air" from ''[[The Snowman]]''. Over 20 years later, the now-baritone singer recorded new vocals along with his child-tenor vocals, much like the Paisley example.

 

* "Guido's Song" in ''[[Nine (theatre)|Nine]]'' has the protagonist wishing for, among other things, "another me to travel along with myself/I would even like to be able to sing a duet with myself." He then proceeds to do just that, with moderate success.

* Almost any stage musical in which there's more than one actor playing a single character (usually [[Timeshifted Actor|as a young child and as an adult]]) will invoke this trope at some point:

* In the ''[[Daria]]'' episode, "Daria!", Quinn sings a duet with herself in the mirror about what she should wear to work. This being Quinn, her reflection tells her to just wear anything, she'll still look great.

** And, like the ''Mary Poppins'' example above, the duet with Quinn and Helen also counts in the "in production" sense, as the two share a voice actress.
