The TLC-alum brings forth an early contender for 2013's "Crappiest Cover" award. I feel like I'm staring at a tramp stamp of some wayward hussy who couldn't decide between Viner Hand ITC or some kind of oriental typeface to use for her beloved's name...

Good lawd this is awful.  So awful in fact I felt that the "5 ways in which Nicole Scherzinger's 'Boomerang' artwork is awful" rundown, was necessary.... 1) That logo. Why are they still trying to make that logo work? It's use in the...

So the better Simpson sister is about to embark on her comeback to the music scene - bursting out the gate with 'Bat For A Heart'. The song is killer...the artwork is filler. That type?!? I was hoping this was some awful fan made! It ruins that flawl...

Ugh...

Please tell me that all visitors to simonsez-CD out there know why this artwork is an ugly-ass, hot, steaming pile of wasted pixels. No? Then lemme school ya'. 1. It uses about a thousand fonts...none of which look any where near decent.

So, when it was announced a couple of months back that a new Destiny's Child release was in the pipeline, the blogosphere went wild...then it was announced that it was a new compilation album :/ The artwork looks like one of those godawful unofficial...

Hmmmm....Hmmmmmmmm... I am not sure if I like it. The 'Your Body' artwork felt sexy, subtle and well done. This feels so heavy handed, at first I thought it was a fan made! *Photoshop siren* :/ I know she's trying to go for 'Stripped'-er...

So, from Ke$ha making colourful and gaudy work...to a Danity Kane alum making it fall flat on it's ass for her latest EP release: p.s. What is it with chicks splashing around in the paint and thinking it looks hot??

I know it's only a promo single...but this artwork is seriously offending my sense of sight. Did not one of Brit's team think to step in and say "Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, holllll' up! This looks like shit!". No one?

I am only posting this as my gals Nervo are attached to it...this artwork DOES NOT get a simonsez seal of approval...it is a certified hot mess.

OHHOLYLAWWWWD :/ Mimi...whatcha gone and done? The type placing is just awful, the added bar for the "features" at the bottom feels clunky, the size of "Triumphant" is too big...it all feels like a less classily done, almost "fan remake" of the 'Eman...

So after I showed you how photoshop editing can be done well (a la JoJo) - I now show you how it can be overused and create something so unsubtle and nasty looking, it really makes you question whether you want to delve into the music within. Case: D...

Hmm. Hmmmmmmmm. Not sure. Not sure at all. I think it's the editing on her skin and (origami?) top, it looks a little cheap 'n' nasty - like a promo flyer for a DJ set at your local club. Ricki, boo, you're better than this.

Oh my(a) gawwwwd :( My-My, it'll always escape me how can you have such a fierce album cover (in 'K.I.S.S.') and have all the single artworks look a damn hot mess! Anyone else think that the words "Mýa" and "Mr. Incredible" could be exchanged for "B...

Oh, for goodness sake! I want to like Rita Ora so badly - like I actually find myself putting on 'R.I.P.' or 'How We Do', just to get a few iTunes play counts even though I don't particularly want to listen to either song -  but why is her team...

Hotmess.com... and if you don't know why I'm saying that, then you need to readjust your eyes and come back to me when you've thought about what you've done.

so ayy lotta people had been hating on chris when he unveiled the deluxe cover for 'fortune' (which i posted here), with it's bling/3D diamonds concept...so he's updated it and done a kelly rowland, by coloruing it purple instead of blue.

...

bleurgh! this cover looks icky nicki :/ so glad it's going to be a single though.

so after the mess of a poster for the US leg with enrique iglesias, j-to-tha-l-o has stepped it ever so slightly with the "world tour" version...it's still pretty weak though :/ i just don't understand why they're using an old promo pic...
