While people may not agree that Les Mis doesn't really deserve its spot so high up, I think it does.
Yes, Russell Crowe isn't the best singer as Javert, but I think it fits as the antagonist to Hugh Jackman's Valjean in the best way possible.
Javert has been looking for ValJean for years in earnest (in the Books he more just crosses paths with Valjean over the years) and you can hear the strained desperate need to beat ValJean finally in Russell's voice. ValJean just wants to restart his life and not cause issues or waves for the life he has left. Thus the more suprised sound to Hugh's voice, as ValJean is confronted with Javert once again, actively hunting him again. What makes it more impactful is ValJean is willing to come back and go with Javert again after doing one final act of mercy and show how much he has changed his life: while Javert is actively not listening and not trying to see ValJean as still a human man which grief and sadness.
Both their voices start off in a beautiful duet showing how separate the men seem, but as the song continues, they slowly realize they aren't so different: but due to circumstance can never bond over their shared similarities.
I know this is long lol, I just feel like it is beautiful in showing how they are both similar men: but on opposite paths and how tense it was during that time

THE PLAGUES should have definitely been over Love is an Open Door. There's no question about it. It's better in every way; the power, the emotions, the hard-hitting lyrics that symbolize the utter betrayal each other feels by way of each others' actions. It's my favorite song from Prince of Egypt, for sure. I'm not saying Love is an Open Door shouldn't be on here (even though I personally despise it, but it should be much lower on the list, shouldn't be over The Plagues, and definitely not #1.
Also, so glad Out There from Hunchback is on here! I love that one, every single aspect of it! Y-you know. besides Frollo himself
Also also, seeing the Aaron Burr, Sir on here just further reminds me I GOTTA watch Hamilton before I die

Now see here, my daughter was obsessed with Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures when she was 2-4. We must have watched the entire series on loop at least 30 times. I can quote episodes, map character story arcs, and pull inside gags from the ether at a moment's notice. It was absolutely maddening. I was sick to death of that show. I wanted to burn my Fire Stick. I had dreams of cancelling Disney+. I hoped I would never see or hear it ever again. That said.
. Ready As I'll Ever Be is the vastly superior hero/villain duet song and I will cosplay with my daughter in our little purple dresses and blonde wigs and fight with frying pans to the death over that one. Seriously. Get your crap together MsMojo.

My picks that arent in the list: (not in order)
- This Day Aria (My Little Pony)
- Seventeen (Heather)
- The World According to Chris or And Eve was Weak (and eve was weak is so chilling)
- Confrontation (Jekyll and Hyde)
Not sure if this counts but Biggering (the Lorax) is pretty close to a duet but its also a deleted song
Edit: now that I think about it, maybe This Day Aria and Confrontation arent on here because they were sang by the same actor/actress, but since theyre different characters it should still count. Otherwise itd be like saying Ariels singing is the same as Vanessas.

I dont understand all the hatred for Russell Crowes singing performance as Javert. He may be not the best singer, but he sure as hell does better than several other actors in more acclaimed movies (like i. e. Mel Gibson in Pocahontas or Emma Watson in the Beauty and the Beast live action. Personally I love his performance, and I think it more than holds its own against the other ones in the movie.

A Man's Gotta Do from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog I consider a Hero/Villian Duet. Penny is more of a background singer, and not a featured character in the song, so based off of that I think it counts. Anyway, I think that Love is an Open Door and Aaron Burr, Sir should be switched, but that's just me. shrug

ik a lot of people nowadays hate on the Les Miserble movie, but i still have a soft spot for it. Hugh Jackman has always been a talented singer, and Russel Crowe surprised me when i saw it in theaters. Honestly that was the best way to witness the movie: 3 glad to see it here, no matter what people say

I had completely forgotten about pretty women. I love Sweeney Todd so much and all the songs. It even having my 3 fav actors as the main characters I love. Its probably unhealthy for me to like it so much but its one of my fav Tim burton movies

I always consider Moses and Rameses has gotten one of the greatest hero/villain duet song of all time when God send the plagues to Egypt. Again Prince Of Egypt is still a masterpiece movie of all time.

The Prince of Egypt has arguably the most powerful soundtrack of any animated movie, but The Plagues takes it to a whole other level. Cant believe it didnt make #1 on this list.

The version of Out There done by Josh Castille (and his singing voice, whose name I cant recall. EJ) in Seattles 5th Avenue theatres production of Hunchback was INCREDIBLE

I honestly dont think confrontation should be here. It is one of my favorite duets and one of my favorite les mis songs, but I really dont consider Javert to be a villain.

My favourite has to be Mother knows best (Reprise) from Tangled. Even though Mandy Moore's lines were spoken and not sung, Donna Murphy was incredible during that song!

This Day Aria from 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and Savages (reprise) from 'Pocahontas' should've at least been in the honorable mentions.

The stuff about Burr being wicked and cruel is such nonsense, it makes me mad. If you think that, I recommend you do more research.
