Unfortunately, I was wrong about indie folk going out of fashion. The winner's song is basic as hell. It's just a folk song with little electronic wooshes. The beginning sounds like a bit in Feeding Line. The handclaps are the worst. Blargh.
It's not like I expect anything great from high school kids, but I even thought Tyler Touche and Jessica Cerro were both better. I bet that first guy might be able to at least make the next ridiculously catchy dance song and I wouldn't mind having an Australian knockoff of Fiona Apple. The hardcore band was meh, I think they picked them just so people would whinge less about marginalizing that genre.
