Tammy, I may be mistaken but I think your wrong about last year. Im pretty sure we as members voted last year for AOY. Now if Im right when was the policy changed and why? Don't you think we are intelligent enough to vote for AOM/AOY ? My problem with all of this is I TOOK the time to vote. Now my vote is unworthy? I hope you know that whoever you pick as AOY, it will now be tainted. And that's too bad because every artist that won AOM is deserving of the accolade of AOY. It was tough to pick.
