Adam is awesomeeeeeeeeeee, i love him to bits. I heard there’s another album cover though, where it’s all black and white and they show his eyes and fingers.

Perhaps this “cheap and hilarious” execution was done on purpose. Which I think it was.
-
“How did they hold themselves from laughing??” Actually, on the Seacrest show this morning Adam was saying how he showed his friends the cover and they’re reaction was “Oh my god, no you didnt!”
They know. They get it.
He even said it directly: “I wanted people to look at it and laugh.”
It’s not that serious, you know?

It’s not the androgyny that’s offensive. Bowie’s album covers were stunning.

It’s the freaking terrible execution.

The font, the colors, the airburshing looks like it was designed then drawn by a 4th grader. So CHEAP and hilarious.

Why didn’t his management, friends, family…advice him? And how did they hold themselves from laughing??

I love Adam but there’s no way I’m walking into a shop and buying THAT lmao.

You can do OTT and camp WITHOUT looking TACKY. If they actually think this won’t damage sales BIGTIME, they’re lacking common sense.

You only have to look on Twitter and blogs to see how many fans have said they wouldn’t be seen caught dead with that cover.

I’m a senior art director, so I main concern myself with designing for sales. So far, I’m not in tune with the cover, and he may have lost some of his cross-over market to his cross-dressing market.

But then I remind myself, this IS Adam Lambert. And, with this much talent behind the songwriting and Adam’s ability to inject his own style into the songs, the CD actually should be RED HOT.

There’s alotta hype behind this guy because he has one of the biggest fan followings ever from Idol. So, the expectations are high. I’m gonna say, “Lets not judge a CD by its cover” and wait and see if he delivers the goods.

I am just super excited for the Lilith Fair. I was 8 when I went to the first one, and woefully oblivious to the mecca of gay that surrounded me. I want a do-over!

omg I love this from bestweekever.tv, and I thought I’d share:
“Unicorns may not exist, but gay ones certainly do, and this album cover is more of a warning to that endangered species: Step your game up, you cashmere soft, ivory horned, glittery hooved motherf**kers. Cause Lambert’s through f*ckin’ around, y’all. Thank you, you beautiful Lambert, you. You have not let us down.”

I love it.
