Or she just doesn't like the right side of her face lol. I like the plastic "R" which they used. I think I like the cover.

[Rico Shameless v2]

It's metallic

And I wonder if "R" will be her name now. She looks like Prince..

[Harry]

It looks like some pics she did with Italian Vogue few months ago..it's dark and edgy...
But there's something wrong about it..lol..definitely..It's FIERCE but...
I think it's her lips..It doesn't fit the whole look..maybe other color or it shouldn't have been that bold.

and I juz can't see any similarity between Ri's Rated R cover with Bey's I Am...people who said that are juz too ignorant to evaluate...

They mean some of the photoshoots, not Beyonce's album cover. But still it's stupidity.

It does give me that feel.

Love it. She looks fierce, but with a human/vulnerable feel to it. And I don't see any big similarities to Beyonce...if anything it looks like an outtake from her Vogue shoot a couple months ago.

The "Fierce" thing got old before it started. I don't think I'm going to like this era.

I think Rihanna killed the anticipation, while she was trying to milk as much from the incident with Brown as she could. I love entire GGGB, I think I'm a fan, but I'd prefer the "normal" Rihanna.

exactly. and rihanna cover is grainy.

ellen von also did rihanna GIANT magazine cover in 2008. she is a really great photographer.

the only i dont like about the cover is the font.

i like the cover. I actually love it. But i hope rihanna is taking the right direction with everything. Whenever I see pix like this, I remember wendy williams saying "Rihanna doesn't smile anymore, or atleast not as much as she used to". I wanna see that beautiful smile, or some light to her.

[KarlosVzla]

The "Rated R" font is so cheap. But i like the whole cover.

[starstruck52]

Oh and the cover only adds to the Illuminati rumors.
She's always wearing an eye-patch or covering one of her eyes these days....

[Rated R]

I like it but it's not as good as the GGGB or Russian Roulette covers though. Now those were

The same thing crossed my mind... It could be a calulated move to perpetuate the whole thing about the Illuminati to get people talking.

Or maybe it's true.

This is, by far, the WORST album cover of the year.'

And that's including The E.N.D.

I wouldn't go that far. Are you forgetting The Fame Monster? But yeah, I think this cover kind of screams "desperate to look hard" the way she did in the RTT video. And Linnen was right when he pointed out the similarities to Beyonce's style. The worst aspect of the whole thing is that it's too dark and easy to overlook on store shelves.
