Subject 1: Cheryl Cole

Oh dear. First of all, someone explain the cheap Microsoft Photo Editor blur effect that is going on here. Someone also explain the cursive font that looks like it was done on the 1998 edition of Microsoft Word. Someone also explain the unflattering wardrobe and the fact that it looks like Cheryl NEEDS TO CHOW DOWN A SANDWICH OR THREE. GOOD GOD WOMAN.
Also kudos to Cheryl for having probably the worst album title of the year..
Subject 2: Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sophie. Sophie, Sophie, Sophie. For a woman who almost always gets it right from a stylistic standpoint, this cover is especially disappointing. The woman is gorgeous, and this photograph does not exactly showcase that. The outfit is absurd (what is she posing for, Good Housekeeping?), the font is ridiculous, and if that "Features the hit singles 'Bittersweet' and 'Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer'" disclaimer is actually part of the cover we're going to punch whoever is responsible. The fact that it's taken approximately 2,000 years for this album to come out (it's not even released until November 29) makes this all the more frustrating, but once it does reach our iTunes we're sure the horror of this cover will be all but forgotten.
Ladies, why don't you observe someone who knows how to make a proper album cover?

There we go. Perfect.
