You're still missing the point. Amateurs were welcome to participate. They never said it was "exclusively" amateur, nor could you truly find 10 "amateur" singers of the caliber of the finalists they have each year. If someone can sing really well, odds are in the day and age of iTunes, CD Baby and the internet, they will have earned some money. Unless you remove anyone ever connected to a commercial musical activity (which would also need to include musicals and other public performances) you can't have a totally "amateur" contest. And no one would WANT to see it anyway. As for the songwriting, for the most part, all the songwriter finalists were also unknown to the general public. Hell, most of them STILL are unknown.
