Let’s see, now that I see this topic, my brain starts going dead. These are some I would like see have comebacks.  
Katharine McPhee-She does good in terms of television but I would like to release singles that make the Top 20 at least. Great voice.  
JoJO: Great teen singer who has some hits from 2004-2006, but really has not had much success, in part due to a shitty record label. She can totally do the type of music that is popular now.

Lady Miss Kier of Deee-lite, they had a top 10 in 1990 with “Groove Is In the Heart”, when I was a toddler. I wish she would do some songs and have a late in life comeback as a solo singer.

Not quite fitting for this subject, but if he has good songs such as “Millennium” and “Angel”, Robbie Williams should have success here in America, although the chance of it is low.

George Michael should have more hits states side, been many years.

Seems mine were all music, but I can’t think much of acting. I hope Megan Boone of the “Blacklist” will make it big after the show ends and onto the big screen.

> Okay, I’ll play. **Fountains of Wayne** - incredibly catchy, literate, fun power pop. They had their one big hit, **Stacy’s Mom** - a fine song, but their catalogue has so much more. It would be fun to see them get another single, or get a licensing deal to use a song which ends up going viral.

I’ll second that, but from what I’ve read Chris is ambivalent at best about making another album.

He was in GREATEST AMERICAN HERO, with William Katt.

And I would pay damned good money to see William Katt get the Tarantino bump.

My answer was provided by consecutive threads. The one above this one was Tom Lehrer is Still Alive!. That’s my answer.
