Maybe they changed it this year because they realized they had two equally talented people up for the AI title.

I actually heard an interview w/Nikki McKibbin where she said they changed that rule b/c Tamyra was screwed over by it (the powers that be--and most everyone else--believe Tamyra should have been the true AI1). According to the rule, she has to wait until after Kelly, Justin AND Nikki release their albums--and it took Kelly almost a year to release hers...thus the wind went out of their sales when their 15 minutes were up. Look at poor Justin's album sales. Anyway, I think Tamyra will be OK, though b/c she has alot of talent & was able to stay in the spotlight w/Boston Public all year.
