Britney Spears' comeback appearance at the VMAs has been voted the greatest comeback ever,* ending two years of negative headlines for the 27-year-old star.

Her split from Kevin Federline in 2006 was hailed as a new beginning for Britney, but instead it sparked a very public meltdown, and the former pop princess cut a tragic, lost figure.
 
Confined to a psychiatric hospital, barred from seeing her sons, her reputation in shreds after a shambolic 'comeback' performance at the 2007 VMAs...it looked like there was no way back for Britney, but once again she finally has her life back on track and is out to prove everyone wrong.

We take a look at her comeback.
