What is your favourite Celebrity Duet in the Final?

Id say Joe Mcceldery and George Micheal performing "Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me" was mine it gave me goosebumps and i thought it was an amazing performance although Alexandra singing "Listen" with Beyonce was also an epic duet

    Alex and Beyonce 100%. They really created a special television moment with that performance and it sealed her win.

    Honourable mention to Matt and Rihanna. It was HAWWWT

    I have a soft spot for Stacey with Micheal Buble. I think that's a really underrated one.

    Alexandra and Beyonce obviously.

    But I actually LOVED Nicole and Jahmene doing The Greatest Love Of All. It was a really special moment, despite the microphone failing. It gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it.

    Nothing has came close to Beyonce and Alexandra. Beyonce was incredible and Alexandra was obviously a nervous wreck, but Beyonce still allowed her to shine and Alex held her own up against her (as much as anyone could with Beyonce). It was a fantastic pairing. The thing is, since then they've never got the duets right. They just try and get big stars...they don't think about whether the person they get is suited to the act they'll be singing with. I thought Nicole and Jermaine, Nicole and Sam Bailey was awful...Nicole was doing her damn right best to outshine them and didn't give them a chance to shine.

    In the duets the star usually performs (purposely) a little worse to make the act sound better.

    Robbie Williams and Olly Murs was alright but hate how Olly tries to be Robbie

    Nicole and Sam Bailey was actually uncomfortable to watch, both desperately trying to out-sing each other. It wasn't a duet, it was like one of those battle rounds on The Voice.

    Leona and Take That. The only one I think of as a 'Duet' when I look back. The harmonies, the chemistry, everything just went together perfectly.

    Same although Joe sounded a bit nasal in that duet, George was being very kind in not trying to steal the limelight from Joe.

    I agree. it seemed like a proper duet rather than one contrived for the show.

    Another one which I think worked really well was Leon Jackson and Kylie Minogue.

    Either Leona & Take That (Gary Barlow stanning was amazing) or Alexandra & Beyonce (amazing moment)

    Other standouts include Stacey & Michael Buble, Matt & Rihanna.

    The last few years have been terrible although Jahmene and Nicole was good.

    Alexandra and Beyoncé was great. Joe and George Michael also but then again don't Let The Sun is a brilliant song.

    Another one I remembered that isn't getting much praise on here was Kelly Rowland and Amelia Lily. I remember thinking that was fantastic actually.

    Beyonce & Alexandra will never be beaten imo. It was an extraordinary performance and one of the few X Factor moments where I've gone back and watched it again on YouTube years later.

    I doubt any of this years celebrity duets will come close to even being half as good as the level of excellence Beyonce & Alexandra showcased with their duet.

    Leona and Take That. I can still remember Mark looking at Leona in awe. Gary and Leona's voice blended so well.

    Alexandra & Beyonce was incredible. I also really love how much Take That were in awe of Leona during their duet, it was a beautiful performance and she nailed it.

    Honourable mention to Stacey Solomon & Michael Buble, it was such a fun duet and I really think she should have made the final 2 after it.
