Think about Sonny & Cher, Johnny and June Carter Cash, Brooks & Dunn, or Simon & Garfunkle and what comes to mind? A Singing Duo! A Duet! Keep that thought because here comes another music reality show along those same lines called, “Can You Duet?” This one has a twist though, because each contestant must compete with a partner (hence the “Duet” in the name). Partners seeking stardom will have to change each week, adding to the work and stress of adjusting to another person. We viewers will be privy to all the drama, on-stage and off! And thus a reality series will be born on CMT on Monday, April 14 at 10:30 p.m., ET/PT.
People Magazine’s 2003 “Sexiest Man Alive” Rossi Morreale (of “Temptation,” “TBS Weekend Extra,” and “Foody Call”) has been named host of the new series. The three people whose word is final are Naomi Judd, vocal coach Brett Manning, and "Amazed" songwriter Aimee Mayo will serve as the panel of judges.
