Idolator

A tough one, but Celine wins because I fear her hair might reach out through the computer screen and strangle me like some Japanese/Korean horror movie.

i forgot celine's pez-dispenser neck

I can't believe this is so close. The Bangers and Cash cover was clearly intended as a joke, but someone actually thought it was a good idea to make Celine look like that.

No one should ever be forced to view Celine Dion's sideboob. EVER.

not to mention that the album cover is for an album called "taking chances".

Greased-up butts has been done, done again and overdone.

Celine Dion looking like she's up for the role of the Cowardly Lion is new to me. That is a mane.

Surely there have been enough shitty homages to iconic covers of older albums this year to warrant its own bracket? Either way, Spank Rock should win this one by a much wider margin than it is right now.

Spank Rock appears to be kidding about their vintage Miami Bass sleaze, while Celine looks positively undead. Doesn't your hair continue to grow after you die?

Oooh, a close race. Unnaturally shiny ass cheeks or zombie Celine? I went with "Taking Chances" because undead Celine is more obscene by far.

You got it all wrong: The Spank Rock cover is one of the year's BEST. Just look at the backdrop, which is clearly just a folder poster tacked to the wall behind them. It's brilliant, I tell you!

It was hard. I flipped a coin and had to go with Spank Rock. I mean, I know it's supposed to be an homage/joke, but the oil. Too much oil. I can deal with Celine's cold dead eyes, because when aren't her eyes cold and dead?

ps. Idolator, I love the names you use for most of these imagessssss.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Celine is fierce with an extra "e" and a lisp.

celene dion automatically wins any contest with the word "worst" in the title.

The elephant in the room: Did Celine's hair extensions alone cost more than J-Lo's album cover?

By voting Celine, does this render my moral outrage towards the horrible sexism of The Nuge moot, by applauding another terribly sexist image of the Bangers & Cash? Or is Banger's a celebration of sexuality in the face of Celine's assault on sexuality by being Celine Dion?

unlike celine, i think spank/benny wanted their cover to be spectacularly awful.

I vote Celine.
Take that Canada!
The Bangers and Cash pun / 2 Live Crew motif are too cleverly done. It's as loving a tribute as the Aeneid is to The Odysee. Smashing!

Celine Dion IS..."POWDER."

The 183 people who voted for Bangers and Cash must be confusing this for the Single Most Awesome Album Cover of the Year Tournament.

i concur.
