Reflect on The Grammys' strangest picks for duets.







 

The Grammys bring all of recorded popular music together under one roof. It's the only time you can see Snoop Dogg and Billy Joel at the same party (because Billy's a Piru for life).

Sometimes it works, oftentimes it doesn't. And that's why, leading up to the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on February 8, we've decided to take a look back at some of the strangest pop and rap combos the Academy has ever cooked up.
