When it comes to potential duet partners for vocal powerhouse Martina McBride , the singer's fans have some definite ideas about who they'd most like to see her record with. According to McBride's website, her fans think she should consider collaborating with Garth Brooks, 'N Sync, Tim McGraw, Jewel, Kenny Rogers , Santana, Harry Connick, Jr., and Cher.

McBride was a bit thrown by some of the suggestions, as she tells LAUNCH, "The Cher one is really interesting. I don't think that's gonna ever happen, but, you know. It's funny that someone would look at me and think, 'Yeah, Cher! That would be a good duet partner for Martina McBride -- Cher!' I love Cher, but you know."

McBride fans' top choice for a duet partner is the singer's good friend Faith Hill. A vocal collaboration between the two is much more realistic and, according to McBride, a real possibility.

"I would love to do that," she said. "Actually, I've got a song that I heard the other day that would be perfect for us…We've talked about it. It might happen sometime in the future, but no concrete plans. It would be a lot of fun. I would love to do that."

McBride's current single, "Love's The Only House," is currently at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
