The example you gave with Novel, at no point in the track do they sing together excluding ad libs.”
I'm no expert on keys so i can't really say what anyone is hitting, though funnily i can play by ear, go figure. What i do know is Leona's voice sounds great with a male voice to my ears personally. Her rendition of over the rainbow with matthew morrison may be a better example.
