king_queen Posted October 18 Posted October 18 THIS should've been the standard front cover of 4. She's damn near shaped like the number and it gives plenty of room to add text. Such a great album shoot but 4 is by far her worst album cover out of all her studio albums. It also has the worst lead single too oof the absence of Mathew was EVIDENT This album cover + Countdown as the lead would've done NUMBERS 1 2
Joaco95 Posted October 18 Posted October 18 i tried to recreate the covers from year of 4 I'm sure the second and third covers are outtakes never released, but I chose the closest photos we have 1 3

Anvarie Posted October 18 Posted October 18 The girls today could barely handle platinum Beyoncé, was there any backlash at the time for how washed out she looked in these pictures?

ShouldersSideways Posted October 18 Posted October 18 (edited) Apologies to Xtina for catching this stray in advance, but... She sounds really dumb. I watched an interview with her, and you could actually see the wheels turning as she was speaking. I already know the answer, but I'm gonna put it out there anyway... Why does everyone call Bey stupid when she by all metrics shows the marks of being a highly intelligent person? I've never seen the "Xtina is stupid" drags, and people on this site bend over backwards to act like Britney Spears is in Mensa. Edited October 18 by ShouldersSideways 9
AxelFox Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I always felt like the 4 cover matches Run The World but not the album itself. The alternate version is better imo. As much as I love the music, that era was her worst in terms of imagery and looks until Cowboy carter came around. 1 1 1 1 2
Joaco95 Posted October 18 Posted October 18 btw the b&w tony duran photos seems to be a lil homage to diana ross everything is everything

Burn Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Bey and Justin's voices compliment each other really well here + this song is really underrated. I think out of all her collabs it's one that you don't often hear about. 1 1
