Which Famous Musicians Have Amazing Musical Chemistry, And Which Ones Feel Totally Forced?

Nothing compares to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's chemistry.

As a humongous music fan, one of my favorite things in this magical world is when famous musicians get together and create something extremely beautiful.

Their musical chemistry can't be denied, and it makes my heart flutter like nothing else ever could.

But sometimes, there are musicians whose chemistry is pretty darn cringeworthy and almost feels forced.

This made me want to ask you, dear reader: Which famous musicians have amazing musical chemistry, and which ones absolutely don't?

We're talking about artists working together in a band, singers collaborating on a duet, musicians performing together live, artists playing on each other's albums — nothing is off-limits, folks!

Maybe you've always loved Brandy and Monica's chemistry when they collaborated on "The Boy Is Mine," and nothing could ever top such a duet.

Or perhaps you thought NSYNC's chemistry as a band wasn't all that strong, and anytime you watched one of their music videos, you had a hard time believing what they were giving.

Or maybe you've always loved Carole King and James Taylor's musical chemistry, especially when they played on each other's albums in the '70s and created one heck of a sound.
