They need to re-think this... seriously.

As a Janet Jackson fan, I'm probably not one to talk but..

The cd has leaked too. 10 tracks, 38 mins long.

caught her on Letterman last night. The song was OK, something like "When The Beat Drops"? It was forgettable, but had a nice beat. The music seemed to drown out her voice, though. You'd never know she had strong voice from that performance. And her legs looked stick thin....she always had a...er, unique body. I didn't know she had a baby last year, though...she looks pretty good considering.

Oh, and Dave kinda poked fun of that horrible scarf thingie (seriously, wth is that? It looks like a big rope!) she's wearing.

That gets my vote for the worst CD cover this year. Hands down...just lol

I still like her first couple of cds.


now she's gone to this gangsta B thing...so silly

Yeah the cover is not working for me. And I'm tired of the introspective album titles. Mariah seemed to started the latest round, then the Evolution of Robin Thicke, Monica with the Makings of Me. What's next.. Whitney's Junkie Confessionals, George Michael..Thoughts from the Tea Room. LMAO

Monica is trying to look like Eve. All she needs now are the paw prints by her cleavage.

I'm biased, because I've never liked Monica, but this is such a tacky idea.

She's a pretty girl -- and had actually maintained her class. This isn't offensive, but it's unnecessary.

And, WHOA, the airbrushing that went into this!

Yea, the same photographer that did Mariah & Mary's artwork for their latest albums, shot these. All of them are excessively airbrushed, I think it's just his style.

they could have done a better photo album cover with her being naked and all... it could have been tastefully done..

here she just looks like "LOOK AT ME!!...I THINK??" like she's unsure. Not her best photo.

The composition is good but the execution isn't. It's the head that ruins the whole thing...especially the hair color and excessive retouch. If you're going for the "natural thing", at least make the piece appear convincingly natural.

It's been done many times before and the snake probably doesn't work with the "Makings of Me" concept, but they should have used something more meaningful than a fat scarf to cover the nudity. They should also have gone for a real poster image like this:


A cleverly placed/painted vine could have worked.
Nudity is good, but nudity for the sake of nudity, is usually desperate and boring.

i say get rid of the jeans and the horrible font and it wouldnt be all that bad...

but, with them thats worse then an npg era album cover.

Tacky. It looks like it was done at The Picture People in the mall.

horrendous

LOVE IT!!!!!

There really should be a worst album cover of the year contest. There are some strong candidates and this would be one of them. What the hell is that thing around her neck? It looks like a giant soap-on-a-rope with no soap.

Very Barbie-skin at this stage

CinisterCee said:

well couldn't they have added more to her thighs....lawd...its about the size of her arm.

Is there some kinda cloth over the bottom extended leg? It looks really thin? What is the cloth and why is it there? And sorry but laying like that, her bottom boob looks very fake.

Monica on David Letterman last week:
