Greatest Comeback Ever...wtf?!

[_____V_____]

September 11, 2008


Los Angeles, CA (BANG) - Britney Spears' recent MTV Video Music Awards appearance has been named the greatest music comeback ever.

The troubled singer picked up three awards at the ceremony last weekend and appeared healthy and relaxed - in stark contrast to a year ago when her shambolic performance at the same event saw her criticised for being out-of-shape and disorientated.

She beat boy band Take That - who split up in 1996 but returned in 2006 with a sell-out tour and chart-topping album - into second place and Kylie Minogue, who was recognized for overcoming breast cancer, into third.

John Sewell of Onepoll, who carried out the U.K. survey, said: "Brits love a success story and eight months ago it looked all over for Britney."

"In February we were gripped by reports she had been admitted to a psychiatric unit and yet she managed to put in a controlled, composed and glittering appearance at the MTV awards."

"We're now all hoping a chart-topping album will prove that Britney really is back on form."

In the past two years, 26-year-old Britney has gone into meltdown, suffering breakdowns, being hospitalized, divorcing Kevin Federline and losing custody of her two sons, Sean Preston, almost three, and Jayden James, 23 months, while her once-glittering career has floundered.

However, in recent months she has strived to turn her life around, regaining visitation rights to her children and getting back into shape.


Here are the complete list of Top 20 Big Comebacks:

• 1. Britney Spears
  2. Take That
  3. Kylie Minogue
  4. John Travolta
  5. Robert Downey Jr.
  6. Robbie Williams
  7. Frank Sinatra
  8. Bon Jovi
  9. Kate Moss
  10. Spice Girls
  11. Hugh Grant
  12. Patsy Palmer
  13. Jamie Lee Curtis

I was kind of hoping her 15 minutes were over

[urgeok2]

her fame was never over .. when did whe world stop paying attention to her ? - never ...

who's fault is that ... hers ? not from where i sit.


anyway ..

i think Travolta as the greatest comeback of all times. I always thought that guy was a good actor ... way back in the day ..

was glad to see that Battlefield Earth didnt bury him.

i normally could care less about Britney or any other pop singers. She wanted attention, she got too much, then she went nuts. happens.
