Ya'll are assuming that everyone is a drooling Madonna fan. Sorry I'm not one of those so again I say I have no idea what the Rain video is.
Even if you're not a Madonna fan, Rain is a must. Piece of art.

it's not just that though, it's the same haircolor and cut, same retro eye makeup and lipstick, same pastel coloring and soft lens look.

not saying whe's ripping her off, just saing it's very similar

Similar, yeah, but when Madonna's album came out I instantly thought of Monroe. Of course, I still have the original printing of the album cover that was done upside down, so I always think of this image the other way around.


Me too. It's still odd to me to see the cover the right way.

Yes, a lot of people have done Madonna's 'Bedtime Stories' pose before she did which was already shown in an earlier post.

Eh, I don't care for Madonna that much so I'm not really interested. Re: Christina album cover, and all myself and others are saying is that the pose she chose also says Madonna -- been there done that.

I know that but that's not my point. And just for shits and giggles I just looked up the Rain single cover to see what people were talking about and that's not the pose nor the old fashined mic that I had in mind.

these types of mics and she would actually be facing it and singing not coyly looking past it

It could have been a direction to go...and maybe you'll find some of that in the CD booklet or one of the videos.

But going from "Dirty" to "Basics", the current choice seems a better transition.

Anything could signify being "basic" compared to the hoochie mama cover she did on her last album. Recreating a cover a lot of people seem to associate with Madonna (even though it's an often used pose) just seems well... uninspired or copy cat-ish so to speak.

No more uninspired than the microphone. Either could have worked especially as she went completely retro. That's the good part...the part that makes it work.

My point was not that it signifies "basic" as much as it signifies "sex". She may be attempting to "elevate"...but she knows that sex sells.

Better transition.
