'Mon amour, je sais que tu m'aimes aussi, tu as besoin de moi, tu as besoin de moi dans ta vie,
tu ne peux vivre sans moi et je mourrerai sans toi. Je tuerai pour toi'
When I saw the title for the thread I could not help myself but to laugh for some minutes. The cover is not bad, but they could have chosen someone more appropriate to represent America. What has this woman done for the States to be proud of? Autotune her voice to death on her single hit about partying? I don't even know what to think about V these days. Posted via Mobile Device
Is anybody else so tired of this "Americana" theme that's been overused by so many magazines for the past few years? It's such a boring theme to see for the 500th time.
The cover image is my least favorite from her photos, but it's still a somewhat striking image and not a bad cover overall.
I'm not a fan of Ke Dollar-Sign Ha (free cookies if you get the reference!), but I don't think she's inappropriate for the cover. She's from Tennessee (I think? Anyway, if she is, that's very "Americana") and her sudden rise to fame topping the charts of popular American music, invading the pop culture scene, etc..... it all makes her seem kind of a fitting choice. Besides, it's not as though she's overused on fashion magazines. Truth be told, even though I think her music is downright atrocious, I wouldn't mind reading about her.
Kesha really has no relevance anymore. She had ehr fifteen minutes. I don't understand what is going on with V lately and their crappy cover choices. I always am excited to see their covers, but Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and now Kesha?!!? It's like they're trying to get me to cancel my subscription. Having Kesha representing American culture is like a huge slap in the face, as if we want someone who probably has someone sewing used soup cans into a dress to represent America.
This sealed the deal for me. V is officially done.
Yet, another tacky editorial (Carolin Murphy's) with a cover star that has no relevance (Striking cover? Yes. Good? No.) with a theme that couldn't be more tired. Americana with American flag, original.
