3 most 'memoriable' CD cover

Miriam Yeung - Actually I am happy

Janice - Wish

Aarif Lee - Start from totay

These 3 CD are published during the same period of time, the music style of three singers are different, but their CD cover have similarity. They are similar that they are not attractive and even ugly. For the first CD cover (Miriam Yeung - Actually I am happy), the style of the cover is very 'old-school', when I look at it, I feel I am going back to the 80s, moreover, the album title is about happy, but Miriam doesn't smile in the cover and even show an unhappy face, the photo used is really not suitable to be the cover. For the second CD cover (Janice - Wish49), when I looked at it, I laughed. Janice does yoga in the cover, no matter how hard it is, it is not beautiful and doesn't appreciate me! And again, what is the relationship between wish and yoga? Why does she need to show her great yoga skills in the cover? For the third CD cover (Aarif Lee - Start from today), I saw comments from a lot of people in a forum that they thought the CD cover was just like the cover of gay magazine. And I can't comment on the comments of them cuz I am not familiar with it.

But I want to say a CD cover is really important to a CD, cuz it is the first impression to the people, thus the cover should be attractive and meaningful to draw the attention of the people in the CD shops. Interestingly, the 3 CD are published by the same Music company, I think they should pay more attention on the art design of an album.
