Syesha Mercado & Alicia Keys
"She really sings from her heart and from her soul," says Mercado. "And she really tells a story when she's onstage. She is really able to connect to whoever she's singing to ... As an artist, I want to do that every time I'm onstage."
David Archuleta & Natasha Bedingfield
"I love [her]," Archuleta says. "[I'd sing] a really fun song that had a cool beat. I love 'These Words' and her new song 'Love Like This.' She's one of my favorites. She's awesome because she has that cool mix of pop and soul, R&B."
Carly Smithson & Heart
"Two of my favorite bands of all time are Lynyrd Skynyrd and Heart," Smithson says. "I listen to anybody that's good – great singers, great melodies, powerful songs ... I love soul and soulful voices, but I've never gotten into the whole pop thing."
Jason Castro & Gwen Stefani
"It would be really cool to do something with Gwen Stefani," says Castro. "I have been a fan of her music since No Doubt and I just love her style. It would be really cool to partner with her."
Chikezie & Stevie Wonder
"The first popular artist I fell in love with was Stevie Wonder," Chikezie says. "I was so impressed with the imagery that he used in his music. It was so crazy with not just the lyrics, but the music itself paints a picture and that always impressed me and it's something that I take along with me."
Michael Johns & Stevie Nicks
"I would absolutely love to sing with Stevie Nicks or Annie Lennox," says Johns. "They are still to this day the best voices around."
Ramiele Malubay & Aretha Franklin
"If I was ever put next to Aretha I'd probably bug out," Malubay says.
David Cook & Raine Maida (Our Lady of Peace)
"I have been a huge fan for a long time and something about that dude's voice and stage presence is really unique," Cook says. "So to be able to perform with him would be kind of cool."
Kristy Lee Cook & Jason Aldean
"I would love to do a duet with Jason Aldean," says Cook. "I met him a long time ago ... and he's my favorite male country singer, so I definitely would love to sing with him!"
Brooke White & Carly Simon
"The artists that I feel the most inspiration from definitely come from [the '60s and '70s]," says White. "People find that so funny to come out of me, they go, 'How old are you?' That's because of my parents. As I got older I really took a liking to this music. It's very authentic – it was very popular music and yet it was still very artistic."
