}}It Takes Two, a music singing competition show, was an Australian music talent show, which ran for three seasons from 2006 until 2008.[1] It was based on the original UK programme Just the Two of Us. ConceptThe show pairs celebrities with professional singers who each week compete against each other in a sing-off to impress a panel of judges and ultimately the viewing public in order to survive potential elimination. Through both telephone and SMS voting, viewers vote for the duo they think should remain in the competition. Judges' scores are also taken into account and are combined with the viewer votes when determining which duos stay and go each week. The show was originally referred to in the media as Singing with the Stars, partly because of the similarity in concept to Dancing with the Stars. Grant Denyer hosted It Takes Two between 2006 and 2008 with a various of female co-hosts such as Terasa Livingstone, Kate Ritchie and the most recent host from the 2008 season Erika Heynatz. All three grand finales ended with all contestants, judges and hosts singing the show's theme song "It Takes Two", originally performed by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston. On air- Regular judges
