I was just about to say something like that! I could just see the bees swarming around that mess.

Damn, the bitch is serious about this look!

Hell it doesn't even look like her. It looks like someone trying to look like her. And the hair does looked flickted as all get out.

I know she means to look dazzling but that hairdo is just too for me.

I somewhat dig them "unique" boots, though.

Don't know if they gave it much thought but perhaps they did.
She's cropped so close to the edge that it's not inviting but her gaze is fixed on her future.
It's almost as if she's saying I've come a long way (all the space behind her), I don't have time to stop and play, and I'm fixed on where I'm going. She claims to want to be taken seriously. Maybe that's what she's trying to convey with this cover.

Would it be wrong of me to wish she would walk too close to a ceiling fan?

By the way her shoes look like she raided P's old clothes closet from the Purple Rain Tour.

Or, you know, she's in a field, she just stepped on a cow patty. Maybe it just ain't that deep. Maybe it was done in 2 seconds, considering the record was done in 2 weeks. Which is more likely? Uh huh.

Too bad they scrapped the original cover.

I like Bey but the bleaching and blonding and changing of the eye color is REALLY turning me off. She looks like a hispanic imitator of herself.

I get the feeling this is going to be a LONG thread.

Very B-52's! Is this real? It may be one of those fan made ones.

I always say it's about the music inside, not the album cover.

I definitely agree there but nothin' wrong with pokin' a little fun every once in a while.

VoicesCarry said:

Just some basic composition stuff so it isn't that deep. Maybe that's how the art director or who ever translated. It could all be accidental but in a traditional sense, that's how it would read.

BlaqueKnight said:

Well, then you won't like these. She looks like a tanned white chick.

anon said:

You read waaaay too much into this shit.

Nick715 said:

Well, then we can't accuse her of false advertising.

VoicesCarry said:

Or maybe you don't see enough. I did preface that by saying "I don't know if they gave this much thought". Anyway, this is basic composition stuff that any art director worth anything would know. It's not meant for people to "get it". It's more subliminal.

Are u getting the Eva Mendes vibe???

VoicesCarry said:

Perhaps you should hang out at a museum and/or flip thru some art history books before you laugh publicly.

OK. Now I'm about to burst
Please, say that you're just foolin' around...

Nah, he's totally serious. I just remembered he thought Justin Timberlake's SexyBack somehow redefines male-female sexual politics.

rushing07 said:

If you are then you must be an alias or Voices Carry. It can't be that two would find it so hard go grasp that simple concept. It nothing deep.

rushing07 said:

Yep. She's utrned into Beyoncessa...or Beyoncez. Christina Milian and damn near every other black R&B pop chick has done the same thing at some point. I call it the Tommy Mattola makeover.

anon said:

Of that I'm sure.

VoicesCarry said:

And you got that wrong, as well. That was merely your take on it.
Of all people...I'd think you would be the last to want to bring that one up.

anon said:

Honey, I just can't get enough of your philosophy. Now come over here and whisper in my ear about how From Justin To Kelly was merely a brilliant exercise in contemporary nihilism.
