TFM isn't stripped down, and the brunette cover feels too simple almost. Plus, that wig is so clearly...a bad wig...that it feels very not-Gaga. 

I just always thought the blonde cover was SO SO SO much more iconic and unique. The angular bob, the vinyl jacket, the dark/light aspect. Plus, it conveys the sound of the album much more. Like this cover LOOKS like Bad Romance, DITD, Monster, etc. 

It's superior imo.

It's also her best cover, makes me mad that she didn't like it

Yeahh that's literally her on the album cover. Didn't you know her before???

I never even heard of that before but it makes the whole Lina Morgana thing even weirder now

Originally the blonde cover of The Fame Monsterwas to be the standard version and the brunette cover was to be the deluxe edition, however, it was reversed, and the blonde cover is now the deluxe edition, while the brunette cover is the standard stand-alone version. In most non-US markets, the covers are mixed, so one can have the standard edition with the blonde cover or the deluxe edition with the brunette cover.

Isn't this the cover for the sole TFM album?

The blonde one is for The Fame + TFM

I've seen the blond one for both version of the album (with and without The Fame) :poot:

Were you a fan when it was released?

This cover was shocking, it was like "wow omg, this is Gaga?" so vulnerable and not pop at all..

This cover is in the top for me.

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

I prefer the photo her in the black wig but with a bird clawing her head and the wig completely covering her whole head including her face. I think that shot was used for the single cover for Monster. It’s such a sick homage to Hitchcock.

Gaga invented Sia with that wig.

I was.

And not to forget that we havent seen her as a brunette before up till this day. Even most of her before TF footage was not or only a few of it released.

I think it is VERY Gaga. I always saw it as the dark side to The Fame album so that's why she has black and not blonde hair.

But my argument is if this is the "dark side of fame", where's the glamorous over-the-top decaying pop star tea? Like the blonde cover is serving DRAMA with that lewk, and the brunette is so...watered down.

It's her best cover i'd say. Like the blonde one too but not as much. The dark one has real soul. The only thing i don't like is her hair got caught on the right side and looks weird. Surpised it wasn't edited out

 

But yeah i love all the covers she has done but it is definitely the most iconic one

Also didn't she say in an interview at the time "everyone wanted to see the real Stefani so i thought i'd show them" or something along those lines. Like the idea was stefani and gaga were the same and people weren't getting it because of the blonde hair

It's the antithesis to TF, not the other TFM. TF was just a blonde Gaga with glasses, this is a dark Gaga with bleeding eyes.
