PREVIEW: Yes, I used the word Fierce (Tyra would be proud) *finger snap* - but there is truly no other way to describe the new C-ute single covers, they truly are FIERCE! I'm feeling in a playful mood so now that the larger versions of the covers are out, let's rate each C-utie's FIERCE FACTOR!

Limited - Regular

Erika: Erika looks great, no doubt about that, but she isn't really getting the whole boyish theme for these covers. Hands on your hips, weight on one leg, with a sweet innocent smile isn't really a boyishly fierce look. It's cute, yes but not FIERCE. On the regular cover she looks slightly more FIERCE but she could do much better.

FIERCE FACTOR: 7.5/10

Maimi: On the Ltd cover, Maimi is looking very cool. The jacket slung over her shoulder, hand rested on her belt, glaring at the camera: very cool. Reg cover is not as FIERCE unfortunately. Maimi suffers from the awesomely debilitating condition of extreme attractiveness. She just looks far too lusciously girly on the Reg cover, sweet but not FIERCE.

FIERCE FACTOR: 9/10

Saki: While she isn't my favourite C-utie, no doubt Saki is a gorgeous girl. Unfortunately for her, this gorgeousness doesn't translate well into photos and she often ends up looking extremely awkward Eg: every photo of her ever taken. She has the posing spot on, especially in the Ltd, but the face says confused, not FIERCE.

FIERCE FACTOR: 8/10

Airi: Ltd cover is Airi's best shot. Belt adjustment makes another good showing and clutching at her jacket is a very cool look. Reg is awkward, she looks like she's in the middle of changing her pose. The elevated pinkies don't help either. I'm not sure what they were thinking with the hairstyle, I can't recall the last time I saw a dude sporting a high ponytail.

FIERCE FACTOR: 8/10

Chisato: While Chisa is often known as the 'boyish' one in C-ute, she is also a devilish, little munchkin, and she's homing in on both those traits in these covers. The cocked up head in the Ltd version is very nice, but she looks like she's about to burst out laughing while in the Reg she has that 'intelligent guy' look about her. Kinda FIERCE, almost there.

FIERCE FACTOR: 8.5/10

Mai: Hagitty is growing up so fast! She looks really great in the Ltd except that her hip is pushed out a bit too much, a tad girlish, but still FIERCE. The mischievous grin works because she is the youngest. In the Reg she stands out, the leg on the chair is great and her death glare could burn a hole in your soul. I like that she's giving two different looks in both covers, mischievous and mean - Tyra would call that versatility. I call it FIERCE!

FIERCE FACTOR: 9.5/10

Kanna: Kanna is totally channelling the 'sensitive guy' persona in these photos. I really like the tugging at the tie on the Ltd cover and her slight smile would make any fangirl's heart melt. In the Reg she looks more sad rather than FIERCE, as if somebody just ate her cookie. Thankfully this works for her 'sensitive guy' image as fangirls are already lining up to wipe their future husband's tears: " He's so dreamy! ^_^ "

FIERCE FACTOR: 9/10

So there we have it, they all did pretty well, even though some girls can't help looking adorably cute; They are C-ute afterall. To remind us of this fact let's have a look at the girls all being incredibly Cute:
