I'm not totally spazzing over the cover, because I agree with dreamcrushed. American single covers are usually fugly. The only way they look good is if whoever made it got lucky by choosing a random font or something.

David Archuleta's "Crush" single had a horrid cover. And it was his debut single. Katy Perry's "Hot N' Cold" had a really bad cover for the US, same with Kevin Rudolf and Lil' Wayne's "Let It Rock." Both of those songs got pretty decent - good covers when they were physically released in the UK though.

No one ever sees single covers in the US, unless they download it off iTunes. And, I, for one... If I heard a song and was interested in it enough to run over to iTunes and buy it, the single cover isn't going to make or break my decision. XD

American singles are a whole different ballgame than Japanese ones. I'll admit, the covers are whether or not I decide to buy a single most of the time with Japanese ones, cause I'll physically own it. But with American ones? Not at all.
