The other night on the ACM’s Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire sang a duet. I missed the show but was all excited when I heard it was going to be on the radio. I knew Kelly and Reba were working on a song, but hadn’t heard it.

Unfortunately it’s not a new song. It’s a duet version of Kelly’s Because of You. That’s a bit of a letdown for me as I like both singers and thought they could do something amazing. Instead, they just re-worked old music. Still it’s good, but not great.

Check out the song thanks to YouTube.

So far, I see no download available in iTunes.

Surfing around the video sites, I came across some great American Idol parodies. Here are my top 5!

5. Justin Timberlake trying out for American Idol on MadTV.

4. Saturday Night Live. Each actor gets their own contestant intro, but then they do a skit with Weekend Update that’s quite funny.

3. Since We’ve Been On. MadTV skit that makes fun of quite a few Idols. The most original I think.

2. Kelly Clarkson on Reba trying to be a weather woman and getting judged by the cast playing Simon, Paula and Randy of course.

1. The Simpsons animated sketch where they judge Simon. Homer is Simon, Marge is Randy, Lisa is Paula and Bart as Ryan. Awesome!

I mentioned earlier that a parody of American Idol shouldn’t be that hard to do and I was right. Check out this great clip featuring Kelly Clarkson on Reba. It shows Kelly trying to learn to do the weather, then the panel of judges give their opinion.

Brock is Randy Jackson, Cheyenne is Paula Abdul and Van is Simon Cowell. Everyone does a great job and it’s a funny skit.
