I really think the fact that he's had training and has performed is irrelevant. I used to play organ and won my share of competitions, as well as performed at various events. Training does not make you a star.
And who cares if there are people who are better at opera than he is. That's like saying John Mayer shouldn't be famous, because there are better guitarists in the world than him.
Paul Potts caught a break. And I say better a man like him, who is seemingly humble and unassuming, and will help further the arts than say a Paris Hilton who caught a break by being rich and having sex on home video.
