RE: X-Factor 2013
I really don't think Alex and Sierra are minimal talent as compared to the rest of the pop market.
They aren't as great as some of the best contestants on these shows. But the contestants on these shows are far more talented than a majority of pop acts.
At the end of the day, Sierra's vocals (and I think her improvement is far more to do with confidence than training) >>>> Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, Carly Rae Jepson, Selena Gomez..I could go on and on.. Where they as good as The Voice's counterparts in Jacquie or Tessanne..absolutely not. But that's not necessary to be successful.
Sierra's vocals are distinctive, and that's what's important in a pop market. So long as the two of them have great songs and great promotion, they'll be fine. And this, simplistic style, that A&S go for is popular right now.
And Alex is more talented than any WGWG Idol has ever had, with the exception of Scotty (if he counts.).
I completely agree about Sierra and Alex not being similar to Haley and Casey. They're like if Philip Phillips and Caroline Pennell formed a duo..
