Tamyra made it into the top 5. I think it can be argued that going on AI might actually hurt the careers of talented non-winners like Tamyra and LaToya, because they are branded as losers of a reality show.
When you think about it, AI is really nothing more than a giant audition before the country that goes on for months. If the public rejects you, it must make it that much harder to get producers to accept you after you leave the show.

I really hadn't thought about that. :(
