American Idol judge Randy Jackson called sixth-season winner Jordin Sparks "the most talented 17-year-old singer" he's ever seen. But she apparently had some help in achieving such lofty praise.

While there's certainly nothing wrong with perfecting a skill in order to attain your dream, Black's claim could be considered a downer for those fans who thought Sparks' vocal abilities were au naturel. According to Idol's website, when Sparks was asked if she had "any formal singing training" prior to appearing on the show, she simply answered "No."
Needless to say, Black reportedly said it "hurt for a week" to hear Sparks claim that she never had any formal training.
"Jordin didn't have to mention my name, but at least acknowledge you had training," she told Star, according to MSNBC. "But I've moved on, and I hold my head up high."
