They need to be looked at from a different perspective: these covers aren't just about her looking gorgeous but, rather, they're putting out a message. The downfall is not the tackiness but the fact the producers neglected to include a strong anchor within the cover art (eg: a sample of the lyrics that might help set the tone) that would ensure that only their preferred interpretation of the image would be put across - as a result they left the cover art much more open for a negative response.

I agree about how a lot of work has been done regarding the concept (because it's true; the lyrics and all that's been happening to her during the album's making), but I think it's unfortunate that the execution of how 'deep' (or 'profound' or whatever, coin your own adjective
) the album is is too subtle; it's something I suppose the general audience can't afford
I'm hoping she'd get more exposure on TV. Talks/interviews and performances will help, I believe.
PARTY QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
