    That was really really bad.

  • FolkFan

    I guess I get to be the first to say that I will never change my profile photo to that album cover. Yuck.

    ETA: Dammit, Sybil! I guess that great minds think alike.

    I think she looks hot in that cover.

  • phdrmom

    Ugh! That’s really really awful! Can’t say I’m surprised though.

  • googletot

    Can’t say anything good about the cover!

  • iluvai

    No thanks!!!

  • ksgirlfordc

    As bad as this is, it’s better than Adam’s.

  • http://myspace.com/morganmadelynne marymagdalene

    My first reaction to the CD cover is that it is similar to Kat McPhee’s first album cover…

    In other words: NO THANKS!!!

  • Pam

    Just NO!

  • PattyH

    My first reaction to the CD cover is that it is similar to Kat McPhee’s first album cover’ ¦

    That’s the first thing I thought of! She looks really good, IMO.

  • blissful

    Woah..she looks like Halle Barry’s Storm in the X-men movies. Is it my computer screen or do her eyes look whited out?

    It’s eye catching, but she can look much better than this.

  • oceana

    Now that’s a little bit suggestive of light bondage and s/m. Maybe she has her eye on Adam LOL.

    Her arms are really toned.

  • wonderings

    I shall call the look California Vampire Ballerina.

    “Both of these seats are MINE! You can’t have them!”

  • wjmtv

    She looks like one of the characters from “The Dark Crystal.”

  • cookmerized

    um, i think i’ll pass thanks

  • t2

    Love the cover. I think it’s edgy without being over the top and is totally Kim.

    Like the song — catchy and has the best of her smoky voice in it.

    Wish her a lot of luck. She’s been a “slow starter” so I’m thinking she’ll need the luck.

  • bjames

    I think she actually has a ton of potential. That cover may have been a bit of a mistake, and singing that song in that setting is a little awkward, but I really like her and her voice.

  • Suzanne

    yes. . . with bleach.

  • SpenserJ

    Perhaps I’m crazy, but I think she looks totally hot in that photo.

  • FolkFan

    Nope, you’re crazy. Heh.

  • tinawina

    I like the cover. I don’t get the problem at all. She’s a pretty girl, and she looks like it here.

    I can’t hear the song. I just get a bunch of code on my screen :(

    ETA: LOL @ Folk! I guess we are not agreeing today!

  • SpenserJ

    Honestly Folkfan, I think we actually established that long ago. I should haven’t even left it open to question :)

  • Starr

    Um, she looks like a tool.

    The dress is interesting, I’ll give her that.

  • maturin

    Change your profile photo to my Without Regret album cover

    First thing I thought was that Cook should totally do that.

    I’m going to hell.

  • YankeeFan08

    The cover is awful. Kim always tries way too hard to be sexy. However, the cover could be the best part of the album … girl can’t sing.

  • leome

    Perhaps I’m crazy, but I think she looks totally hot in that photo.

    Not saying you are not crazy, but I think she looks hot too. I would just do something different with the hair.

  • FolkFan

    Tinawina! I hate it when we disagree!

    Heh, maturin.

  • bmms

    What a great cover for Kim. She was on the TV Guide Hottests Idol Contestants List. She is an attractive and sexy young lady. Congrats to her.

  • http://huckleberryfriend.wordpress.com/ huckleberryfriend

    I predict this will be Ms Caldwell’s last album.

  • jumpstart

    The cover is awful. Kim always tries way too hard to be sexy. However, the cover could be the best part of the album ‘ ¦ girl can’t sing.

    Yep, that pretty much sums it up. For me, her singing voice is just plain annoying. No thanks.

  • smellycat

    Adam’s album cover is beautiful ott art but this cover is wtf are you hanging onto a sofa? The chair is a distraction. My eyes go past her to the chair.

  • Sassycatz

    I shall call the look California Vampire Ballerina.

    ‘Both of these seats are MINE! You can’t have them!’ 

    Yes, I was wondering what the point of that was. Is she the Cerberus of the Law Firm Sofa, or did she just sorta slip off? Oopsie!

  • sunchick

    Yes, I was wondering what the point of that was. Is she the Cerberus of the Law Firm Sofa, or did she just sorta slip off? Oopsie!

    Cerberus! LOL. Honestly? Considering the album title, and the odd stuffy office look of the sofa, and the major bed head hair, my first thought was “casting couch.”

    I am so going to hell.

    Bahahahaha, LMAO maturin, never leave! Seriously, I’m pretty sure they’re still friends (I think Andy follows her on twitter), and if the fandom weren’t so sensitive, DC seems to me the total type of smartass to do something like that and find it hilarious to mess with people, but alas, he’s too proper these days. Which, darn. Watching the fandom meltdown for those who wouldn’t get the humor would’ve been epic. Haha, I’m joining you, maturin!

    My first reaction to the CD cover is that it is similar to Kat McPhee’s first album cover’ ¦

    I had the same thought. Until I saw Jim Cantiello’s hilarious mock covers though, I had no idea what Kat’s album cover looked like. So then my next thought was that I need to see Cantiello do his version of this cover.

    Honestly, I think she looks pretty good, and it almost works as being edgy or whatever, but I’m never a fan of women’s crotch shots, covered or not. It’s a bit try-hard, which, let’s face it, is kinda her reputation anyway. So in that sense, does not do her any favors, and gives her haters much to mock. She could’ve done the same cover without sitting with her legs like that and it would’ve prolly looked way better. So Vanguard, fail.

  • movin2thabeet

    When your eyes go to the couch in this picture ’cause the photoshopped person on the floor looks way less interesting, well, I think you have a problem. I am ‘Without Regrets’ in saying that there is absolutely no way I would change my profile page to that pic, even if someone paid me a truckload of cash.

  • IdolThoughts

    My only interest in this CD is to see how many songs are devoted to David Cook. Because YOU KNOW that was a giant loss for her. He is like a unicorn amongst trolls. She’ll never find another guy like him. Unless he is fooling everyone which he may be. LIE TO ME!

  • Yvonne13

    IdolThoughts, are you inferring that Cook and Caldwell are still together?

  • druzilla

    smellycat says, “Adam’s album cover is beautiful ott art…” What?? This is about Kim Caldwell. How did *d*m F***ing L*mb*rt get in this topic?

    Anyway, I haven’t heard her sing since Idol 2 when she was “ok” but very pageant or theme park. That was many years ago so she’s had time to improve her singing. I wish her well. The hair on the album is just weird but it’s a good photo.

  • wand3rful

    she looks like a sexier Pink. im digging the colors, as well as the pose, very eye catching.

  • wand3rful

    Adam’s album cover is beautiful ott art but this cover is wtf are you hanging onto a sofa? The chair is a distraction. My eyes go past her to the chair.

    Some call it art, I (along with MANY others) call it a piece of shyt. As a person who studied art in school and worked for a museum, I find nothing about that carnival, cheap airbrushed cover cool, unique or beautiful. back to the topic at hand, i would say i like the edginess in Caldwell’s cover (the hair, moody makeup and such)….she has a good voice, I hope the music can match her talent. (and I’ve never been a fan of her on Idol).

    You can also enter to win the tickets through Twitter, as well, which is A LOT easier:

  • SybilTrelawney

    Folk Fan, when I said that was really really bad, I was referring to the song, and her (presumably) lip sync’d performance. Not because it was lip sync’d — virtually all performers lip sync in these parade thingies — but because the lip syncing presumably features her recorded and presumably autotuned, amplified and enhanced voice. And it was not. good.

    As for the cover? I had no words. None. And you know how many words I usually have.

    IdolThoughts, are you inferring that Cook and Caldwell are still together?

    Not at all. I’m inferring that a lot of inspiration comes from break-ups and this album could have remnants of their relationship and subsequent break-up in it. It would be interesting to see if that is true in this case. That’s all.

  • FolkFan

    Oh, I didn’t bother to listen to the song, Sybil. She hurtz mah earz, and really? Didn’t need the pain.

  • oceana

    She never could sing on AI either. She really never should have been on the show, but Simon or Randy liked her, I forget which one. She was cute and had spunk, I guess.

  • SybilTrelawney

    Simon liked her “unique voice.” My Siamese cat had a unique voice when she was in heat. It’s not always a good thing.

    No, it’s like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: “None shall pass.”
