Wow! I love this. It makes her look like ???. (Sorry. I don't know how to describe it.) But look at those lashes! I do agree with you. The font was horrible. A femme fatale is supposed to seem a little more classy than what they chose. (And they shouldn't have made the basic album's lettering in black. It just killed it.) I didn't really like the picture they chose either. (I always seem to hate the pictures they choose. For example, I perfered the alternate "Someday (I Will Understand)" cover over the offical.) I mean, if Britney's not going to wear a bra during a shoot where all she's wearing a very fluffy coat(?) (I don't know what it is. O.o) the pictures should at least be done tatsefully. It was such an easy little photoshoot too. Brit's naturally goregous, so if you only give her tousled up hair, natural looking makeup (except for that masscara!), and that coat thing, you're sure to get a very pretty picture. Several in fact! But you do have to choose the right pic and then choose the right font and color for the lettering. For the people who are all about creating her maketing image, they're pretty bad when it comes to actually marketing theat really matters. As far as I'm cocerned, you're better then them. If I had the power, I'd re-call all of her Femme Fatale albums so the covers could be replaced.
I agree with all what you said. I don't know what labels are thinking, but lately every major release has had a lame ass cover. It's like they do it on purpose lol.
