Each have benefited from their collaboration, but Haley's got her own path, her own destiny, and Scott, his PMJ's a HOT ticket... he strikes me as extremely loyal, I imagine he'll have his hands full with all the past singers (with less exposure than Haley) and new ones (who'll want to get in on the PMJ wave) that he'll have more than enough 'parts' to mix and match for his arrangements.
(Although I wonder how hard he'll push to get Haley to be part of his International tour?... You KNOW Haley would be in demand, all the Overseas Haliens hoping to hear her sing live......ALOT of traveling, will Haley's schedule allow for that?)
I'm not sure Haley expected the HUGE impact that her collab w/ PMJ has garnered, but I expect she has personal, solo goals she's been working towards and will want to see them met. She's had plenty of opportunity to be part of a 'group' with Casey, but outside of BICO, and their obvious chemistry/popularity, it hasn't really been anything more than jamming with her friend... I think she has plans to make it as a solo act, sometimes join in with others, but primarily solo.
I can see Scott and Haley getting back together if this "PMJ thing" continues to grow, gaining opportunity for some kind of nation wide broadcast (American Idol? Christmas/Holiday special?), but other than that, they both have a bountiful of opportunity and potential to work on their own projects.
I agree with you Tusk. At some point, Haley needs to move on with her own music. But this has been such an amazing collaboration for Haley and Casey both. She's gotten some great exposure and been able to tour without the fuss and expense of organizing and executing one on her own (although it's not her own music). She's made new fans, woken up some old fans, and made her long time fans very excited about the future.
I'll be sad to see Haley go her own way from PMJ, but with an EP on the horizon, IMO its only a matter of time before that happens. Hopefully, this experience will make her WANT to tour with her own band, and Ole will back that up.
