And I imagine our US winners have had training also - certainly Jordon Sparks 17 year old voice has training behind it.

The point is - if they have not been singing professionally - getting paid for it, they are amateurs.

Sounds like he's perfectly legit.

Many of the people on America's Got Talent have had training and/or are semi-professional. I thought the point was being "undiscovered". Is the British show any different?
