Is it time contestants did duets with each other?

I've only ever watched one series of American Idol. But one of the standout moments from that series for me was watching two of the contestants (Lee Dewyze and Crystal Bowersox) singing Falling Slowly together. It was a brilliant performance from the pair of them.

Is this something maybe X Factor producers should look at doing? I mean, celebrities coming in to sing with the contestants used to be something a lot of us looked forward to, but the days of Beyonce and Christina Aguilera seem to be over, and the duet partners are slowly getting more anticlimactic (as much as I do love Ellie).

It could be something seen in the semi finals. Have the top 4 all sing 2 songs each, and 1 duet (randomly paired together) bringing the grand total of performances up to 10. That way, if an artist feels like their partner let them down, there are 2 other performances to base your vote on.

After all, who doesn't want to see Sam Bailey and Rough Copy jamming together?

A nice idea, if they can be matched...imagine someone having to sing with Wagner, for example

*has a vision of Mary and Wagner duetting with a proud Wagbo watching from the audience*

Pairing up is very difficult, and duets are generally cringe, so no.

Agreed - imagine a Wagner-Diva Fever duet or a Rylan-Maloney duet.
