ITA. It makes me wonder if this was done on purpose? Kinda like saying, "Well, we put a plus-size Black woman on the cover and no one liked it. See? Told You you so!, ".

Anna Wintour must go!


That was the second thing that crossed my mind the first was 'What in the Hell?'. Those photo's sans the one of Jennifer lounging against the piano could not possibly- by any stretch of the imagination-be the best in the bunch. *sigh* If Anna & Co. were so on the fence about having Jennifer on the cover than why go through with it at all?. There's a little saying that I remember and its goes like this 'If you can't do it right...then don't do it at all'.

This ^^^ to me looks more like a photo that represents Vogue's Power Issue. I just don't understand the purpose of Jen's cover. Is she singing or is it a photo that is a representation of her having the last laugh? :blink:

Whatever the case if they just had to use that photo then they should have reserved it for the inside to accompany the article. The hair, the makeup and even the dress all are an A+ to me but that pose? Oh no. I'm even starting to get a bit annoyed with the phrases 'Our Biggest Spring Issue Ever'...'Over The Top!' . :unsure::lol:

Anna seems to have definitely reached her limits. :innocent:

The Essence cover is beautiful. Why couldn't they have done something like that?

I think I am the only person in America that didn't really like Dreamgirls. I had heard such great reviews on it, then saw it.... I just wasn't blown away or anything. Eddie Murphy was great, and Jennifer Hudson was good, but.. I don't know, I didn't leave the theater amazed or anything. :)

I didn't like the movie either. The only things I liked about it were Jennifer Hudson and the amazing costumes and hair and makeup.
 
I am so disappointed in the cover!

If they weren't happy with the first set of pictures then they should have re-done the shoot. Such a shame.
 


Regarding the rumors about whether she was or was not going to be on the cover:
I think (it's obvious) that the photos were taken with the intention that Jennifer was just going to be in a regular editorial, and not on the cover.

So, nice idea (or the idea we made of it), poor execution. Still, I stand up for Jennifer because come on, it's a great achievement for her! Although I'd really dig Oprah again.
But, before Trentini turns into a movie star, do we or do we not have her in this issue? :rofl:
 
Biggest spring issue ever? Sounds good to me! But unfortunately they could have done sooo much better with the cover....

Somebody please tell me that there is at least one of Freja's Chanel ads??? Please please please?
 
This one just does not have the Vogue quality.

If you want to use a full figured girl, show her curves.

This cover picture looks like the Vogue team was trying everything they could to make her look slimmer. The only things show are her face (with her mouth open so that you can't see her face clearly) and her breast (which is a standard show item for magazine covers nowadays-and they pretty much look the same with the push-up bras anyway). The shoulders and arms are completely covered by letters as if the Vogue team is ashamed of them. What a disaster!
 
^That's exactly what they were trying to do. I think it is cruel.

Note to Anna: The majority of women in the US look like this, deal with it.
 
I simply don't understand Vogue's reluctance to use actual MODELS on their cover... particularly for the March issue which is intended to introduce the spring/summer collections. I get that celebrities sell, but Vogue is supposed to be for fashion and couture, and no one can really sell that better than the models. I'm especially disappointed since there seemed to be a huge hype for the "return" of the supers.

Cover specific... I just saw the British Vogue March issue with Daria on the cover (and this is following a super cover with Stam), and US Vogue just looks terrible.

Edit: scratch that... I just saw the cover of Vogue Italia, and THAT is a cover.

Why...Why that picture? Vogue ruined a potentially groundbreaking thing.
 
this discussion is so interesting. Which is ironic since US Vogue has to be the most boring out of the bunch, such a big magazine with such disappointing results.
