If you have melodyne....

Go ahead and sing the harmony parts. It can be used to fix the parts no matter how bad they may be. If you clone a track and then use ME to create the harmony, the parts can sound very fake if you're not careful.

I have used it to create a totally melodyne harmony part when it was evident I was not able to get the singer to do harmony or she was not knowledgeable enough to sing harmony..... but it's my last resort option.

Here's a link to a song where I cloned the lead and used Melodyne Editor to create a vocal harmony track:

I have kept the harmony low to add more ambiance as opposed to BGV.

I prefer to try to sing the parts and if the vox is bad, use ME to fix it. ME, with a bit of patience, can fix an amazing span of vocal faux paux.... I will use a piano to play the part, and learn it, and record it one line at a time if I need to. Then, put ME to the job of fixing what needs fixing.
