As a singer, I can tell you that it's actually not very difficult at all, especially when you're not really singing on top of each other and you're harmonizing with your partner.

Well if this isn’t the most adorable, tragic, beautiful thing I’ve witnessed in awhile. God bless their wonderful hearts. There is just something they can’t take away from us and this duet is one of them.
