Filed under: Kanye West > Amber Rose

Amber Rose appears on boyfriend Kanye West's revamped website emulating Grace Jones' iconic photograph taken by Jean-Paul Goude.

Amber gets an A for effort, but we think Grace owns the pose.

Thoughts???

Amber WISHES she had a body like Grace Jones. Too bad she suffers from Beyonce-Leg-Syndrome.

Grace wins it! i was just watching Conan the Barbarian the other day (she was in that), and she looked great! in this picture she looks like a yummy piece of chocolate, and i could just take a bite out of her ass!

jeez! that's crazy! I didn't even realize the 2nd one was a person! I thought it was a mannequin!

Grace seems to be more natural and Amber appears to be trying way to hard to hold the pose. I would do either of them in their prime.
RobinJC says – reply to this

21

Uh yeah Amber doesn't even come close to Grace… didn't anyone compare her pose to the picture as she was trying to get it?

Amber Rose = Joke.

GRACE owns it!!! Sorry Amber…

Nice try, thanks for coming out.

That's a hard pose to hold, but Grace makes it look effortless. Plus she has better skin than Amber.

Grace!!!!!!!!!
DollyLama says – reply to this

Agreed! Grace Jones is a living piece of Art.. shes carved from wood in this photo. Notice the slant of her neck, the deep twist in her torso, the placement of her hand by her foot, the gorgeous arch of her arms that look like an impressive "wingspan" … Amber is lovely, but its just a sexy pose.
EvaDiva says – reply to this

27

GOTTA GIVE TO AMBER - SHE'S GOT AN INCREDIBLE BODY! IN THAT POSE - IT LOOKS PERFECT - CAN'T SAY THE SAME IN SOME OF HER OUTFITS THOUGH. HONESTLY, I WISH THESE PEOPLE (ANY PEOPLE) WOULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL. EVERYONE COPIES EVERYTHING!

I laughed out loud when I saw this. She is wayyy to long and lanky. Gross.
Dixie77 says – reply to this

32

That Grace Jones pic is one of the most amazing photos I've ever seen. The other one? Epic fail, as they say. She's beautiful and has a great body…but that picture doesn't have the stunning artistic effect of Jones' pic. Some people look like art and others like hos…Amber favors the hos.

Grace, no question. Can't even compare the two.

35

What's up with hack artists and other people re-appropriating stuff from other decades? Is there no originality anymore?
I can't stand them says – reply to this

36

Notice how Amber has to grab her foot and is probably over stretching and Grace doesn't need any support, she just touches her foot. Also Grace has more back flexibility, she can show her torso.
Amber looks vulgar and Grace looks like a statue.
trinigirl123 says – reply to this

37

Oh my God! Is that Grace one real? Its too perfect, like a work of art. Look at her back. Look at that ass. If its real then WOW!

first thought was oh… thats kinda cool… then i saw the original… like they say on american idol - dont pick a song thats just far too big for you.. grace johns.. GRACE JOHNS, fail… FAIL amber rose.. FAIL.

I would not even have the gaud. Pathetic attempt at recreating something so original and one-of-a-kind.

Amber Hose & KanGAYE need to just come out of that smelly closet & get it over with.
vjp207 says – reply to this

Did anyone read the article that Perez linked in the post? Grace didn't actually do that pose as perfectly as it appears:
“Unless you are extraordinarily supple, you cannot do this arabesque,” Goude has explained. “The main point is that Grace couldn’t do it, and that’s the basis of my entire work: creating a credible illusion.” He photographed Jones in a variety of positions, using boxes to help prop up her body. These images were then pieced together to create a collage which served as the cover for her 1989 album, Island Life. Perhaps Kanye is planning to use Amber’s photo as the cover of his forthcoming album?

Either way, Grace's is far superior.

Hands down Grace owns that pose.
jaigirl says – reply to this

44

No contest. Grace is the epitome of her name…graceful! With those gorgeous long limbs she makes the pose look effortless. Her skin…her body…everything..WOW. You can tell Amber is obviously trying too hard in the pic to hold the pose….A for effort..but that's about it.

Grace Jones can not be replicated.

Wow, I thought the second picture was a statue! Impressive! Gotta say Grace!! That's a sexy pose and a HOTHOTHOT body! DAMN!!
Erendira says – reply to this

47

Jones def beats out Amber, no doubt about it. I never saw this photo before, but I literally thought that Jones was a sculpture. What an amazing body!
ShoeWhore says – reply to this

48

Doesn't that Amber chick have close friends that could've been taken her aside and said, umm, nice try, but, like, fucking forget it ?!?
isis_madjik says – reply to this

You cannot beat the original!
yovovi says – reply to this

Not original at all. Plus this butch has fat legs. Grace has a model's legs and physique, not a ghetto hoodrat's.
jasonjkyle says – reply to this

51

grace OWNS!!! and this was before photoshop hello!
sayswho says – reply to this

52

I'm pretty sure I read that even Grace's pose was photoshopped, or whatever it was called back then…
sushilover says – reply to this

53

Re: vjp207 – Guess what. Photoshop didn't exist when Grace too that pic.

Look at her shoulders…perfectly parallel.

More importantly, Grace and the artist had the idea. They win on originality and execution.

no comparison. amber looks trashy, grace is beautiful.

Are you kidding me? Amber does not hold a candle to Grace's FIRE!!!!

57

Oh please, Grace owns it and always will.
Doubous says – reply to this

58

Wow this picture shows just how subtle differences in posture and grace can really make and break a picture. It can either mean you will look like a stupid skank like Amber, or a work of art like Grace. GRACE JONES FTW. Plus Grace's skin tone has to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
Devan_W says – reply to this

59

wow that grace jones girl definitely wins it doesn't even look like a real person!!
Caraqueñita82 says – reply to this

60

Are you kidding me???? This lady needs to find her OWN identity, this whole Grace Jones wannabe situation is pathetic! I mean look at Grace, she's a wild panther!! other-worldly! you can't even compare this…

Amber isn't shiny enough. Bitch should not touch things that should not be touched.

Not even… Grace would tear her in two.

63

Never been a Grace Jones 'fan' but she looks like a beautiful sculpted piece of artwork here. Amber Rose should have not tried to copy it- it loses all of the purpose of the pose….

Grace looks 100 times better than fucking attention whore Amber!

Amber looks like a fantastic ad for an exercise video - she really looks great but the photo is nothing terribly special. On the other hand, Grace looks like an African goddess!

I WANT TO DRAW A BIG FART CLOUD COMING OUT OF AMBER'S ASS. Long live Queen Grace.
Slutstick says – reply to this

72

Grace's is more artistic. The way the limbs are shaped and her pose is much more statuesque than Amber Rose. Also, Grace is longer and leaner than Amber so it looks more, I guess beautiful. To me Amber's looks sloppy.

and amber rose is one of the ugliest women to ever grace this earth, she cant hold a candle to any model, let alone grace

The Grace Jones photo is a composite. I've seen the «making of» years ago, So naturally nobody can compete with such a photo. Research, Perez, research.

Bitch ain't got nothing on Ms Jones …

Can this cheap whore please go away! It's just like a 2-bit whore to try and recreate something/someone as original as Grace Jones. BIG FAIL!!! Go back under your rock, you nobody! And take Gay-Fish with you!

Amber is nowhere close to Grace Jones.
AlineaTroy says – reply to this

81

People are dumb or what? That Grace jones's picture is photoshoped. Jean Paul Goude is know for that "les retouches photo". A human being can't stand like the way she does in the pic.

Amber really likes showing off her naked butt. I guess that is her thing.
goodtasteishardtofind says – reply to this

Well like everyone else said. NO one, not Gaga or Rihanna could ever hold a candle to the original shock queen Grace Jones. Grace has got to be the most influential and original inspiration of the current style landscape. Try again Rose.

Figures. She's trying to steal the spotlight, just like her pathetic boyfriend, Kanye. Amber Rose is just..EWW

Grace Rocks… Can't touch that photo with a 10 foot pole.. ps, do something original, stop copying shit that's already been done and done better than anyone else.

Grace wins hands down. She just looks more natrual in the pose and frankly the photo looks more beautiful.

92

Whitey has a nicer rack though.
VictoryLap says – reply to this

93

Wow. I love that photo. The original. I think this girl could have pulled it off if she put just that last extra in it. She's done so much to emulate and she could just bend over over a bit more, turn her shoulders toward the camera, and bought a jar of vaseline? I have a goal now! If only I had that freaking booty. Another goal!

Grace looks like a bronze statue its perfection, Amber not so much.
liltrt says – reply to this

95

Of course Grace's pic is much better! She has better lines in the photo, she looks like buffed cocoa (a great thing) and it's just an overall better photograph. Whereas Amber Rose's looks like a picture, Grace's is a statement.
lovin' it! says – reply to this

Grace is amazingly beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

She doesn't compare to Grace, but she does have a great body.

Grace owns it totally ! She's got such beautiful skin and her body is totally bangin'. Amber only wishes.
Gambitgirl says – reply to this

amber looks like a stripper doing yoga in a half ass way.

grace looks like fucking ART!

there is something so beautiful in the way her dark dark skin is oiled and the way her muscles shine…so powerful and sensuous at once.

The two look NOTHING alike. Grace Jones's pose and photo were designed by Jean-Paul Goode, her former partner, father of her son, and former French Vogue Art Director. It is a work of Art.

The other photo is a joke.
