Greatest Comeback Ever...wtf?!
 

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
  14. Jade Goody
  15. Paul McCartney
  16. New Kids On The Block
  17. Jamie Theakston
  18. Woody Allen
  19. Angus Deayton
  20. Michael Barrymore

.....WTF?! Damn Brits! :rolleyes:

:mad:

I was kind of hoping her 15 minutes were over

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.

No William Shatner :mad:

Im not sure if becoming the priceline negotiator is a comeback.:)

Agreed... have you ever seen The Experts or Two of a Kind? Talk about 80's cheese. :D

bad movies - but he was always solid

its funn y- but he's alwas had such a presence that i never thought of him as being out of the picture - but i guess he kind of fits. there was quite a gap between the series and the movies.

I am not affiliated with that list!

:mad:

Anybody...I mean, ANYBODY BUT her! :mad:

If anyone wants to know how i feel abotu britney spears, watch the "Britney's New Look" epsiode of South Park. I feel how the boys feel.

Travolta was an awesome comeback. He is an icon in the truest sense of the word. Hell, he is th eonly scientologist that i dont htink is a complete shithead. That has to count for something.

i feel nothing for britney spears ... i dont know her - i never will.
i dont watch ot read anything that would give me exposure to her.
all i know is second hand mumbling from other people discussing her as if they knew her intimately.

there are a lot of flawed people in the world ... and they love company - especially if it's someone in the limelight.

there's nothing that gives certain people more pleasure than tearing idols off their pedestals ... despite the fact that they put them up there in the first place.

i guess it allows people to feel a little higher, a little mightier for a while.

do these people seek attention ? not as much as they are seeked.
are they paying photographers 1000s of $$$ for candid pictures of them ?
no ... shitrag magazines are because it will sell - to the same fucking people dumping on these celebrities.


fucking cannibalism ... pure and simple.

I called this a long time ago.

Dennis Hopper - Blue Velvet.



Then he made Waterworld. :o

People on this list whose comebacks I actually find relevant:

1. Robert Downey Jr.
2. Woody Allen
3. John Travolta
4. Frank Sinatra
5. Jamie Lee Curtis

That's 5 out of their supposed "Top 20."

Therefore... This survey does nothing other than confirm my hatred for people.

Brits, my love.

Those damn Brits. :rolleyes:

Woody Allen had a comeback? Really?


That definitely goes on the list of things i wouldnt celebrate.

ALRIGHT I"M GLAD SHE CAME BACK!! I mean she doesn't desreve to but that's the beauty of it. I've always loved Britney. That list is rediculous.

Ah - See, he's one of my absolute favorites. :D

No i am talking about the release of the epic cd HASBEEN - not to mention his promotion of that digital crack WOW.

It strikes me as quite odd to see Spice Girls on the list of Greatest Comebacks, as they cancelled their big "return of the Spice Girls tour" and split up again within a few months. Is that great? Really?

I find it to be the most pathetique comeback ever. :rolleyes:

Some of these you may not know of. A few I don't agreew with, but many of these are English.

• 1. Britney Spears - I'm still waiting for this "comeback" to happen.
  2. Take That Boy band. Split in 1996, came back with a no. 1 single and keep making number 1s.
  3. Kylie Minogue Cancer
  4. John Travolta We All know
  5. Robert Downey Jr. We All Know
  6. Robbie Williams Left Take That a little while before they split and did some songs. Went away then came back. Makes an okay song now and then.
  7. Frank Sinatra We All Know
  8. Bon Jovi Same
  9. Kate Moss Dunno about this one. I don't really bother with the model's stories.
  10. Spice Girls Pretty much the same as take that, although their "comeback" song did terribly.
  11. Hugh Grant Didn't realize he went away
  12. Patsy Palmer A soap star who left for ages then came back. Hardly worthy of the list.
  13. Jamie Lee Curtis We All Know
  14. Jade Goody Why is this waste of space on the list?
  15. Paul McCartney We all know
  16. New Kids On The Block I don't Know
  17. Jamie Theakston Same as above
  18. Woody Allen We All Know
  19. Angus Deayton Don't Know
  20. Michael Barrymore A dead body was found in his pool at a house party. He went away for a long time then came back.

My guess that this is in reference of his comeback after the hooker thing.

Ah yeh, that'd make sense.
