Quote: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 Wink ), 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...
Last week, in the comments section of Slezak's review of the X Factor, someone made the Haley/Casey connection (which was immediately followed by the comment that no reality singing show has ever had a duet as good as
Moanin'. That person knew of what he/she spoke!)
While I completely agree with you, Tusk, regarding the A&S "lovey dovey connection" (what will happen to them when that fades?), I'd like to suggest that the "deeper connection" between Haley and Casey that you mentioned stems from a very deep and, likely, abiding mutual respect for the other's musical abilities.
That respect makes their (the Caley) relationship come across as sincere and, again lasting, whereas the A&S connection feels more like infatuation (and, perhaps, a contrived infatuation at that), and likely to wither.
Musically, Haley and Casey are light years ahead of Alex and Sierra. A&S just happened to audition for X Factor in what is likely its bleakest -- talent wise -- and -- also likely and hopefully -- final year.
