Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Duets are my favorite!!!

Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men - One Sweet Day (if you feel up to it!.!. it's rough)

Nat King Cole and Natalie - Unforgettable

Umm choose your pick of signers - Baby it's Cold Outside

I hope I was a little help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

when doing an audition!.!.(this is from experience) a lot of people are going to be doing the slow songs!. best to always pepe it up!.
sing a song like "Summer Nights" in Grease or take any old song and split it like a duet!. do something fun and classic!. Jailhouse Rock or Burnin Love are awesome ideas (my younger bro got a recognition award when he sang burnin love at a big talent show)
If you still insist on doing a slow song: A whole new world (still classic), beauty and the beast, and there are others!.

to help you find some good duet songs, go to singsnap!.com and click sing & recored and click on duets!. it will give you a list of songs that are duets!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This might be a bit funny, and stupid, but it could work:
Search on YouTube Family Guy stewie and olivia!.
Its a duet with boy& girl, and I think its really good, also musical-ish!.
You could try finding songs from musicals, also maybe High School Musical!. Gabriella and Troy at "You are the music in me" would be nice!.

You've got to make sure that it's not too hard for you (because that would sound awful, so never put the bar to high at first!.!.!.), but you also got to make sure that it's hard enough to show your talent!.!.!. It's got to be perfect for you so look into quite a few and see what fits best for you!.!.!.

Try this one here: What I've Been Looking For

High School Musical!.!.!. If you manage to do the dance it's really cool!.!.!. that's actually the only song I know out of High School Musical because somebody actually did it on stage!.!.!.
Slow version here (though I like the fast one better):
http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=RuJgvULuR!.!.!.

Other than that you can always go for Grease:
Summer Nights
You're the one that I want

If you're really goof there is also the Phantom of the Opera!.!.!. but the girls part is rather high in the end!.!.!.

One of my favorites these days is "A little Priest" from Sweeney Todd!.!.!. well it might not be appropriate!.!.!. you got to look into it first before you consider it!.!.!.

May you could go with Sonny and Cher: I Got You Babe
Or even Elton John and Kiki Dee: Don't Go Breaking My Heart
"Something Stupid" is always a good one!.!.!. it's been sung by Nancy & Frank Sinatra and later Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman!.!.!. It's harder on the male part!.!.!. Nicole is even weaker than Nancy!.!.!. You could go ahead if you're a good soprano and outdo Nancy and Nicole!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say stay away from any shows that are on Broadway right now (and most definately stay away from "High School Musical")!. Most younger people won't know/perform songs from older musicals (Rogers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Lowe etc) so you will be unique if you pick something no one else will sing, you will stand out!. Here are some ideas for you:

All Er Nothin'

The Last Night of the World

The Sound of Music--
Sixteen Going on Seventeen
Something Good (from the movie and the recent revival)
