Stars Weigh in on Britney's VMA Comeback

As Britney Spears prepares to make her long-awaited comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, the biggest names in Hollywood are weighing in on whether the embattled starlet can pull it off.

Jay-Z, who is nominated for two VMAs, told “Extra” he has high hopes for the star.

“Look at Mariah Carey,” he said. “She had one of the hugest comebacks in musical history. So, you can’t rule anyone out.”

In fact, the rap superstar said he wouldn’t rule out teaming up with Britney.

“Well, she’s a talent,” he said, but would only work with her “if it was natural and organic.”

He continued, “I wouldn’t want to just do it for the sake of just putting out a single. If the song was incredible, if she was serious about the project, then absolutely.”

Jay-Z is just one of many music greats who are in Britney’s corner.

Alicia Keys said, “I think that Britney is going to do fantastic. I think she knows who she wants to be, and she’s ready to do it now.”

Country crooner Carrie Underwood added, “She never ceases to amaze us, good or bad, but I think she’s going to do awesome.”

Ashlee Simpson, who made a comeback after an embarrassing lip-syncing gaffe on “Saturday Night Live,” said, “I wish her the best.”

Added Carmen Electra, “She’ll be great. She always makes her statement at the VMAs.”

It looks like everyone has their fingers crossed for Britney.

MTV’s star-studded competition kicks off Sunday night.

She looked liked she didn’t even know where she was. Obviously the choreographer was smart enough to make sure her dance ‘moves’ were easy enough for a 7 year old. Her eyes were vacant and empty so it’s pretty much a guarantee she was wasted. She needs to check herself into rehab for good. Her ‘career’ is over.

Britney should just skip it and commit herself to a psych ward, she’s crazy to think people even want her back.

What she coming back from? People are so sick and tired of hearing about this trailer trash ho, I hope she get’s boo’ed off stage, better yet I hope she goes into crazy mode and walks off the stage. She’s a loser, and the only fans that want her back are losers too.

It is unfortunate that she chose to have a comeback in any awards show —let alone the Video Music Awards. This is taking (her smoke and mirrors opening, designed by Chris Angel) away from the other performers who have worked hard and deserve the limelight—not this publicity hype crap.

Britney Spears is in the spotlight SO DAMN MUCH that her comeback to music is INSIDIOUS!
She should’ve had time out of her slimy slimelight before ever attempting her shallow ‘comeback’.
She earns the Trashiest Comeback of the Year award from me.
I wish she’d go away.
