Okay.... How many people actually admitted they were making a comeback? You know how indignant some artists when that term is used.

Yeah lol but they have a right to vent about it,,,its not their fault that the industry folks are ignorant about their activities.

For all we know, you can bust yo ass for 20 years and finally breakthrough in the 21st year and thats where they'll say that its yo DEBUT. Like how alot of people thought that Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" was her 1st album and that she's a new middle-aged singer

Harlepolis said:

Good call! I think about this when Prince snickers at the media when they talk about his comeback. It's like his attitude is, "Where you cats been. I'm always making music, touring, putting out albums...." But, I guess those folks only think about the next big thing: the Britneys, the Ushers, the Beyonces....

LaToya Jackson? You sure?

VinnyM27 said:

Yes, I'm sure. In fact, VH1 even did a special about her new album.

NWF said:

Everyone has had a VH1 special and she did a promo for that album last year...excuse me, two years ago, on Access Hollywood, with the promise of it coming out in the summmer of 2003. I don't think that album will ever come out.

Harlepolis said:

i think Tina would probably be glad if that was her debut album. sure beats the pants off the solo albums she recorded prior to it

dude, you missed one of the biggest comebacks..

Michael McDonald..

who would have thought this guy would have two top selling albums in one year?


heres hoping he gets out of the motown vault and starts doing his own stuff again...

Simply Red had a great year also....

and you missed the mother of all returns for 05..



okay everybody....say it with me...on the count of three...


one...


two....


three...

And I forgot about Nancy Sinatra.

ghetto boys are back. i wondered where willie d was.

You wish!

NWF said:

Someone needs to define comeback, please.

Latoya Jackson made a comeback?

VinnyM27 said:

around the corner...something great is coming...


who knows.....could be.....

just because someone put something out in 2004 doesn't mean it was a comeback. a "comeback" would imply that the new material had some success.

sosgemini said:

ohhh yeeeah.

NWF said:

I actually missed when VH1 did the English Beat on Bands Reunited Out of all of the ones listed though.....the Specials are the ones I really wanna see get back together. I'm not too excited about INXS...I don't I'll ever be, with no Michael.
