Really ugly cover. Derivative work. Looks like a high school art project. Time to move on. (Yes, Adam, Glam is still dead.)

November 14 2009 at 3:07 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWell....needless to say.......Adam picked the right picture for the front of his new CD because EVERYONE is talking about it. Some like it.....some don't. I don't think you need to try and read anything to deep into it. Adam is a wonderful businessman as well as an unbelievable singer/entertainer. He wanted a "campy" photo and that is exactly what he's chosen. He is show business to his core.......he likes to have people discuss his work.......and this just proves he knows what he is doing!

November 01 2009 at 2:30 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyContemporary art is about meaning. Art cannot live in autonomy. Self sufficiency is a delusion. Without context there is no meaning. Artists narrate their contingency in their attempts to transcend self conciousness and awareness and sometimes transcend this process in their acknowledgement of it. Adam does both. Look at everything he did on AI. He gave contemporary meaning to old songs with multivalent references to preceeding artists. The art of his alblum cover, like every aspect of his performances is part of his artistic statement and there is no accidental similarity.

ADAM, HOW ABOUT A VIDEO OF YOUR ELVIS RENDITIONS? HE,TOO, WAS TRUE TO HIS REAL SELF. KEEP GROWING. YOU ARE STILL IN PROCESS.THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT.
"hard to deny"? ACCORDING TO WHAT BLIND PERSON?
