Wow. There have been some really stellar duets in the history of the show. I loved when Mike and Tina did "Sing!" and I'm crazy about Matthew Morrison and Neil Patrick Harris on "Dream On" and Lea Michele and Kristin Chenowith on "Maybe This Time," as irritated as I was in both cases that, yet again, all of this attention was going to an adult guest star rather than the enormous cast the show already had. "The Boy Is Mine" blew my mind last season, and so did "4 Minutes." The electronic pitch correction/autotune was too much for me on Sunshine and Rachel's duet of "Telephone," but they both have killer voices and I laughed for-basically-ever at Rachel stalking her around the girls' bathroom.
After much deliberation, though, I have two finalists. Surprisingly, they're both from season 2; unsurprisingly, they're both from "Duets," aka "the only episode I have liked in a really long time." The options are the "Get Happy"/"Happy Days Are Here Again" duet between Rachel and Kurt, and Mercedes and Santana blowing the roof off of "River Deep, Mountain High."
The sweetness of the gesture from Rachel to Kurt can't be overstated for me; that was the moment that I solidly (if slowly) started to like Rachel again. I loved the staging and the costumes and everything that was done as a callback to Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland's original, and how perfect and in-character all of those touches were for Rachel and Kurt to have taken. The recording is gold, too; I love their voices together.
But I think that, in the end, they're just edged out by the pure joy and sense of fun (and sauciness) of their competitor.
Favorite duet: "River Deep, Mountain High"
(I found a supply of gifs from the performance and I couldn't pick just one!)
Seriously, this performance was just ridiculous. Mercedes and Santana getting their Tina on all over the chorus room: epic. That is the only word for it. The dancing, the huge vocals, the attitude, and the two of them getting fanned with a towel by the guitar player mid-song all combined to make this pretty much a no-brainer. Mind-blowing. There is no justice in a fictional world in which they did not win that competition.
It's the third annual "Mr. Schuester has no new ideas" duets competition, and Mercedes says, "No," before Santana can open her mouth.
"You don't even know what I'm gonna say, Claire Huxtable." Santana rolls her eyes, sliding along in the lunch line to Mercedes's right.
"Seriously? Seriously," says Mercedes flatly, grabbing a sandwich. "Are you really just gonna keep naming me after black eighties sitcom characters."
"Bitch all you want, Aunt Harriet, but you've got to admit we tore the roof off during the competition last year." Santana's ponytail flings with the force of her head jerk; she follows Mercedes to the cashier. "The only reason we didn't win is that somebody got suckered in by the Double Mint twins and their whole 'we're so innocent and virginal' hand-holding act," she sneers. She snorts. "Please. I'm pretty sure that was incest."
"I am not singing with you again," Mercedes says, handing the lunch lady $5 and glaring at Santana. "I'm dedicated to winning and showcasing my fabulousness, but midnight dance rehearsals are crazy. Besides," she turns her back on Santana and walks away with her tray, "I've already got a partner."
Santana's mouth is opening to call the perfect cutting insult after her -- then Brittany falls into step beside Mercedes, smiling and shooting a very obvious smug look over her shoulder.
Santana narrows her eyes.
