4. Kayne West Get Political and Reaches Out to Gays.
Kanye West not only made headlines because of his top-selling second album. He also criticized the Bush administration in a live telecast that was held to raise money for Hurricane Katrina Victims (watch it here). A weeks earlier, he was in the news when he denounced homophobia in hip hop.

5. Antony & The Johnsons Win British Mercury Award
Antony's controversial win of the coveted British Mercury Music Award showed that it is okay to be your own person and make unique artistic choices, and still receive such a high-profile "vote of confidence." Antony told me later that much of the controversy about his win was made up in the media.
