On Caley's Stageit "Island in the Sun"
Quote:I just don't get why they together or individually can not catch the attention they deserve. The current American sweethearts on the X factor, Alex and Sierra, don't have anymore chemistry than Caley and they are not as talented. If these 2 could get some national exposure as a duo on the Voice, X factor, Idol I think they would take off.
For whatever reason, I have been less and less inclined to watch any of the reality show singing competitions... In fact, I'd guess I watch them even less than I did before I happened on Season 10 of American Idol....
Each time I've 'tried' to watch, I inevitably turn them off within 10 minutes or less, and go doing something 'better'. I don't know, I'm more turned off by the judges/coaches/mentors than interested in the 'talent' they want to impress me with....
I've watched Alex and Sierra, maybe one and a half performances, so I admit not having 'grown' with them as some may have, but it just appears to be an act to me, the shy sideways glances, the proverbial 'sending kisses through the air' way they perform.....
The affection that comes through with Caley comes from a deeper connection, they are not sending lovey dovey glances to each other (well, Haley isn't, anyway
), theirs is an 'understood' affection, not as blatant as what I see with A&S, their connection looks even more like an act in comparison...
Am I being too much of a 'homer' to think that maybe these two 'borrow' from what Caley have organically? The comparisons are hard to ignore, even coincidentally, that there is a market, for this type of pairing, an "America's Sweethearts" niche that needs filling?
Bums me out that A&S are receiving attention that more deservingly should go to two more talented, more organically connected, musically and viscerally connected individuals as there are in Caley
But, I understand, they (Caley) need to find what they are capable of doing, individually, before they 'marry' themselves (
) to the idea of becoming a duet...
(Full admission of 'typical' Halien jealousy of loss opportunity & overuse of 'quotes' )
