I don't think it should matter if an amateur or a professional songwriters song was chosen for the finale

I think you guys missed the point, They are looking for the song that best fits the WINNER,Whether that comes from an amateur songwriter or a professional

This isn't a songwriting contest looking for the best written and produced songs as much as American Idol is a contest for the best singer

Which doesn't always mean the best singer or song gets chosen but they will be the right one

They're looking for a singer as well as a song that will fit the winning combination and thus making them millions of dollars
Do you really think they care if it's a pro or a beginner or even a struggling writer thats been trying to break through for years?
