Can Kanye make a comeback?

Is it OK to like Kanye West again?

It's time to come up with an answer for that question. It's been almost a year since Kanye's big I'll-let-you-finish-later moment at MTV's Video Music Awards.

I just re-watched that infamous (and much parodied) clip from the VMAs, when the then-19-year-old country singer Taylor Swift won her first VMA. While she's happily and excitedly starting her acceptance speech for best female video, Kanye hops on stage, takes the microphone and interrupts to say that Beyonce had the best video of the year.

Eleven months later, there's still nothing else to say about that except what a jerk.

Seriously, man? Do you like taking candy from kids, too?

So afterward, he did the whole apology circuit and took some time off.

His name has been popping up for the past few weeks. He's released a new single, "Power," which is fine, but not on my must-download list.

It's a nice departure from Kanye's recent auto-tune obsession and all, but it's no "Golddigger," "Stronger" or "Touch the Sky."

Some critics have totally dug the song, and it's hanging out at No. 16 on the Billboard rap songs charts. It's also featured in one of the trailers for this fall's "Social Network" movie, a drama about the development of Facebook.

The last big songs he collaborated on that have been on the radio lately were huge hits, including "Forever" with Drake, Eminem and Lil Wayne as well as "Run This Town" with Jay-Z and Rihanna.

He signed up for Twitter (twitter.com/kanyewest) about a week ago. I'm personally not a fan of Twitter, but he certainly is, considering he's Tweeting every 15 minutes it seems.

Tweets to his 375,000+ followers cover his clothing interests, latest purchases, his whereabouts and his latest music projects.

He's been making appearances at big name offices such as Facebook and Rolling Stone.

Basically, Kanye's making his comeback. And I'm OK with that.

Kanye's put out some catchy songs, and I'm all about second chances. He has to avoid controversy, at least for a little while.

The handful or so of albums he's released since becoming a solo artist in 2004 have all had at least a few radio and bar hits, whether it's "The College Dropout," "Through the Wire," "Jesus Walks," "808s & Heartbreaks," "Love Lockdown" or "Heartless."

As a producer, Kanye has helped make tons of hit songs by artists, including Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.

Even though he gets annoying and flirts with the line between being arrogant and confident, he's been doing something right musically.

He's been debuting music and spreading information via Facebook and Twitter, so he clearly has social media working to his advantage.

As long as Kanye sticks to making music, I don't see why he can't have a successful "comeback."

If he has to stir up drama, it'd be awesome if he picked on someone his own size next time.
