My personal thoughts are that it takes both lyrics & melody to make a good song. Casey writes the melodies, Haley writes the lyrics. To me this could turn out to be a match made in heaven. Who knows what may happen. I think their friendship is heartwarming & I think they are both very talented. I believe we are watching the unfolding of two great artists. Together or separately, Haley & Casey have a bright future...
Yeah, there sure is a lot of back and forth on that. Ultimately I respect the fact that Haley is quite comfortable working with Casey and wants their collaboration to continue. Their performance of Moanin' on AI was awesome by any standard and very professional. Casey is not some bum she found in the park, he has talent, and they have chemistry. I'm fine with that. Haley's been working with a number of songwriters recently, and she may click with some and not with others. But she already has a bit of a track record with Casey and I see nothing wrong with him being in the mix.
