• Grabbing for a review. Aoba47 (talk) 23:23, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

• For the ALT text for the infobox image (i.e. “The singer's head appears in a black and white photograph.”), I think that the following part “The singer’s head” reads a little strangely as it almost gives me this horror image of just her head appearing in the picture with nothing else. I would revise this to make it read clearer.

Done

• For this part “in some countries”, I would clarify that you mean “in some European countries”.

Done

Background and development

• For this part “her twenty-seventh studio album”, do you think that you should put the number in numerals as it is larger than ten?

Like I mentioned in a previous GA review, I would prefer to spell it out if that's alright with you. Carbrera (talk) 04:21, 3 February 2018 (UTC).

• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles#Major works, AllMusic should be italicized. (I just found this out recently, and I did not know it myself either).

Done

• Otherwise, wonderful work here.

Thank you.

Critical reception

• Remove the link for AllMusic was it was already linked in a previous section.

Done

• Revise “Considering it comprehensive” to “Considering it comprehensiveness”.

Done

• I would suggest moving the Santopietro section to the end of the paragraph to go from praise to criticism. Right now, it jumps around from positive to negative back to positive reviews, and it is a little confusing.

Commercial performance

• I could not find any issues here. Great work with this section; I always have difficulty with writing these parts, but you have done well, and made the information interesting.

Track listing

• No issues here

Charts

• Great work here

Certifications

• Wonderful job.

Release history

• Do you think a section like this would be needed?

Done

Credits and personnel

• Do you think a section like this would be needed? The AllMusic link here could be used.

Done

References

• Wonderful use of sources

Final comments

• Great work with this article as always! I could not find much that needed improvement. You have done wonderful work with the Streisand articles, and it actually inspires me to maybe one day work on a single musician’s articles to the same degree. Aoba47 (talk) 23:45, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Carbrera: Just reminding you about this. Aoba47 (talk) 02:38, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• Aoba47 – Is there anyway I could have some more time for the two reviews? Carbrera (talk) 05:07, 22 January 2018 (UTC).

• Of course. Take as much time as you need. I just wanted to check in with you. Aoba47 (talk) 05:17, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Carbrera: Just a reminder. Aoba47 (talk) 04:57, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• Aoba47 – Just to keep you aware, I should be getting to this this Friday afternoon or Saturday at the latest. Thanks for your patience. Carbrera (talk) 05:29, 1 February 2018 (UTC).

• Sounds good to me; thank you for the response. Aoba47 (talk) 05:34, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

• Aoba47 – Done and done. Lemme know if there is anything else I can do. Thank you, Carbrera (talk) 04:21, 3 February 2018 (UTC).

Verdict

• Thank you for addressing everything! I will ✓ Pass this. Aoba47 (talk) 04:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
