I LOVE HER. SO MUCH. :wub: kudos to her for sticking by it!

 

It's a crap cover, agreed. But people really are investing too much into it haha.

Artists have changed album covers in the past due to feedback and I *really* hope Kelly does with this, it's horrific. But judging from her comments to peoples reactions; not gonna happen.

I thought the earlier comments were OTT before I actually saw it with my own eyes. Absolutely diabolical, one of the worst pop covers of recent times.

 

Having said that, I'll still be ordering the box set. Not a bad price for some nice content, a lot better than the usual "5 exclusive images".

I actually don't really like that response from Kelly. It seems defensive and ignorant.

 

It's not random internet trolls that are telling her her album cover is bad, it's her fans - people WANT her to pull off a successful era. And while she's right - it is about the music - smaller things like artwork all factor in to how you pull off a campaign - and she's been in the business long enough to know that.

 

Like it or not, all fans do get invested in what is good or bad about whoever they Stan for - that's the point of being a fan - she should be just as invested - and if I were her I'd take on board that 99.9% of the feedback has said the album cover is awful.

Yeah but I think it's simply a case of Kelly and her fans being on completely different wavelengths. Who's to say she should listen to her fans' opinions on her artwork? Unfortunately for them it appears she's winding down as a popstar and, as such, isn't overly concerned with maintaining success and prominence through clever marketing campaigns, promotion etc. She seems to be doing things as she wants and at her own pace and has worked hard enough in the past and made enough sacrifices to be in a position now to do just that. As difficult as it may be for some, I think people need to lower their expectations somewhat and be grateful she's releasing another album in any capacity (provided the music itself delivers, of course).
I don't know if it's just the stan in me jumping to her defense, but I don't get what was so bad about her response? :unsure: she's probably seen the final product and maybe it's one of those cases where it looks so much nicer in physical format. She has a point about listening to the music and not looking at it. The cover being good is just a major bonus to me. I'm not not going to buy it just coz it looks terrible. Lol. But maybe that's just me :P
I will still buy it too. But I just think it's just words 'you're too invested' probably just annoyed me - even if people had been slightly rude to her beforehand. Because when you're a popstar anyone that is remotely invested in you is a positive thing!
The album is available to pre-order on Amazon but its over £26. Ridiculous price.

26 pounds?! That must mean it'll be nearly 30 in The Netherlands given the fact that the UK is always cheaper than The Netherlands... :drama:

Does she want this to flop?

That's probably the deluxe box thing, it's not going to be that much for the proper normal album :lol:
I'm sure they will change the price at some point
WowHD are selling the deluxe edition for £7.99 and the standard is strangely more expensive.

The cover looks like the amateur practice of a 17 year old on Photoshop for a youtube background!

 

However she's right - too invested.

 

Everything from the cheese lead single to the cover makes this look like it'll all be shat but who goes aroond staring at album covers really? Especially online? Only a small % on Buzzjack etc to care aboot covers and that.

I'm just grateful we are getting another album. Yes, the cover is awful but heartbeat song isn't awful and I'm sure there will be better stuff on the album.
She might do what she did with Stronger and have a killer second single (not that I don't like Mr Know It All, but Stronger is so widely appreciated).

Piece by Piece (the song) is also out now. A nice album track, not single material though.
