{Best Backing Singing}
Can't say I have a lot for this category, but Annie has some rather nice backing/harmony singing throughout here over multiple layers.

2:57 - 3:49

{Best Vocal Duet}
Nice chemistry between the two singers, contrast between the two tones. Also (if I'm predicting correctly what Baronessa will pick) less John Travolta.

0:20 - 2:20

{Best Backing/Harmony Singing}

1:28 - 2:58. In my favourite Beach Boys song, Patton gets down to A1 while complementing the climactic lead C5 in the bridge. I've also left the fadeout in because it places probably the most emphasis on the harmonic layering while the lead vocal adlibs on top.

{Best Vocal Duet}

0:20 - 2:20. Olivia spans A3 - C6 with infectious energy in probably her most famous duet, showing off basically all facets of her voice in a deceptively quick manner. While Travolta isn't as much of a singer as Olivia is, I don't think he really gets overshadowed by her, because the point of the song is to showcase their cheese-filled chemistry in the movie as they trade lines and harmonize.
