#2 Britan’s own Susan Boyle is living a modern day fairytale. Surely, you couldn’t forget her transformation in Harper’s Bazaar?! The adorable 48-year-old charmed audiences the minute she stepped onstage UK’s X-Factor. She may not have won the “X-factor” title, but in the end Boyle became an huge superstar.

It began when the the Brooklyn Rapper unleashed “D.O.A(Death of Autotune)” from the “Blueprint 3″, the murderous rap track caused quite a stir on the blogosphere and within the Rap community. Then there was “Run This Town” with good friends Rihanna and Kanye West. The track was a crossover success for Carter. Not to long after Jay-Z would have a third hit on his hands-the New York anthem “Empire State of Mind”.

The stylish duo were always dressed to impress at every and any event. But it’s not because of West’s relationship with Rose that made him the talk of ’09. It was when the outspoken rapper interrupted Taylor Swift’s winning at the moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Kanye West coined the infamous phrase “Imma let you finish but…”. which would later be spoofed by thousands on the internet.
