Blackout cover wasn't horrible. It really stands out when you look at any store's CD shelves. It's just that were already sick of that picture by the time the album got released.
The Cover is blah, im tired of her poses, she should try something different, and not a black backround or just make her more noticable, its just not exciting or noticable....
Frankly speaking, i hate the cover. Her best cover is the Emancipation of Mimi. But well, what matters is her music and not the cover. The cover is just like a bonus to buyers to attract ppl.
