I've been studying the pic (which I like for the most part) but some suggestions that might make better and appease some:

(1) Move the Britney Spears wording to the top of the pic (this would require more headspace at top or the lettering would cover her face.)

(2) Make the stars and corresponding color in the border a darker blue

(3) Have less stars - perhaps 2 or 4 - but make them bigger

But, listen Jive. Bottom-line I realize a re-do would cost a lot of money and probably in end not make much financial sense. Know then that the cover is OK. People are freaking because it's not amazing and Brit's fans want everything to be so for her. It's more than serviceable, so take feedback - even negative, which I hope is meant to be constructive (mine is) - with a grain of salt.

Also might suggest in future focus grouping some of this stuff with fans. Better to hear reaction earlier when not so difficult to change than when it's too late (or nearly so anyway.)

Thanks for listening - and keep up the good work!
