On tonight’s (July 5) episode of ‘Duets,’ the superstars and amateurs were asked to sing standards — classic songs that have stood the test of time. Sugarland singer (and expectant mother) Jennifer Nettles and her ace partner J. Rome offered up their rendition of Billie Holiday’s ‘God Bless the Child,’ which was penned in 1939. How’d they do?
Just two hours into the ‘Duets‘ series, and trends are forming. For Kelly Clarkson, that means choosing duet partners that are tall on talent, but a little short on confidence. Much like Jason Farol earlier, Jordan Meredith was trembling when she first joined the pop superstar. Her performance of ‘Stronger’ was anything but lacking in swagger, however.
Who doesn’t love when their favorite singers cover a popular ’80s song? Last week, country duo Sugarland and singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles performed ‘Come On Eileen,’ as part of their show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.
Bareilles is currently touring with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, who make up the bubbly country duo.
