Check out the official album cover for Alexandra Burke’s debut ‘Overcome’, which was unveiled today. While I think she looks great, I can’t help but wonder aloud at how her team opted for this pic – which was lifted from the ‘Bad Boys’ single shoot. I mean it doesn’t correlate with the album’s title. Still, I guess it’s the LP’s content that matters most. Here’s hoping she delivers the goods.
What do you think of the cover?

Oh my, not a good look for Alex. That wig/weave? is just atrocious. Not to mention her complexion looks so oily. I do like her song Bad Boys so let's see what she can do.

NOOOOO ! What are they doing with this ? Look at the difference between hers and Leona everything from the cover looks just cheap and rushed !
The better not even think about using this

I'm not feeling this one at all. A lot of the album covers this year seem to be a very low budget and not very artistic. I do love the artwork for Amerie's project and Kid Cudi's as well though.

The treatment is disgusting, but, as usual, Cowell's puppets go along with it. Not only she is have to be sex kitten while Leona is the angel of Islington, Leona got two music videos for her first single while Alexandra has the same photo from her video shoot as her single AND album cover.
Simon is a real IDIOT sometimes. Why can't Leona stand with her legs open and her tits hanging out?
Someone needs to take Alexandra aside and warn her about this. People won't be listening to her voice but looking at her body instead. Others who rely on sex, i.e. Cassie and Rihanna, never sell as much or as fast as those who keep their clothes on like Alicia Keys and Taylor Swift.

I Like it, I think they were going to try and make it like Jennifer Hudson album cover but more sexier

What, i don't see any similarities between this one and jennifer's. This one is trashy and cheap low budget looking.

J-Hud's looks classy: the black&white, the dress with the belt, her legs not in the picture and probably not spread with her hands sliding down.
So what exactly about this one reminded you of j-huds?

I don't like it! She has a great voice, but is she supposed to sell her body first?…..easy

I haven't heard any of her music yet. But judging by the song titles and the pics from her music she probably won't be as big as Leona.

@ivorys intellect, you are right..she has such a powerful voice and dnt understand wanting to sex her up..that cover looks terrible..why are they turning her into a disaster..sex makes you more popular but does not sell that much..like you said on less albums and less over doing it..A keys and taylor have outdone rihanna and those other gimmicks..yuck!! simon needs to change this asap!! she it too talented for this crap!!
