Her career was over right?  Cutting off all her hair.  Bizzare moments. Dating paps.  In and out of rehab.  Def over, right?  Wrong.

Britney somehow, someway made her return to the top of the charts in 2008 with a smile and a knack for losing weight. She has lost a step in her lipsynching abilities but has regained her edge with smart interviews and promotion and a smoking video for Womanizer.

This is why Britney gets our comeback performer of the year award for 2008.  Amy Winehouse, it could be yours in 2009.Dr.FB
