- (SINGING) Darling, give me something I can hold on to. Let's put this back together before we become [? unglued. ?]

KYLIE MAR: Hayley Orrantia, best known as Erika on the hit ABC sitcom "the Goldbergs," joined the season 2 premiere of "Songland" Monday night to help out her friend Tim Halperin. Orrantia and Halperin had collaborated on a handful of songs in the past. But the duet for Songland wasn't preplanned.

Halperin's solo act wasn't quite cutting it. And guest superstars Lady Antebellum made the call.

- (SINGING) It feels like I'm losing you. It feels like I'm losing you.

- Oh my gosh.

- Let this be the duet. They're both saying it to each other, feels like I'm losing you. So it's like--

- If y'all are in an argument right now, you're like, do you feel this, too?

- You're right.

- Because it feels like I'm losing you.

- We've got to make this a duet.

KYLIE MAR: Orrantia and Halperin are no strangers to reality show competitions. She appeared on season one of the "X Factor" USA. And he was an early fan favorite on season 10 of "American Idol." And bringing Orrantia in for a duet proved to be a stellar idea.

KYLIE MAR: But unfortunately, even Orrantia's help wasn't enough to boost Halperin above the competition as the big winner Monday night was Madeline [? Marlowe's ?] Champagne Night.
