Artwork

Hey, if the current artwork displayed official?! If so, could someone provide me with a source XD Theog101 (talk) 17:48, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Probably not, the person who uploaded it didn't specify a source, so I'm going to tag it as unsourced. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :D Theog101 (talk) 17:46, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Alternative video

There is alternative video, that is uploaded to Cheryl's Vevo page. link It should be mentioned in article.--SveroH (talk) 23:51, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Even Worse, the homepage of Haycock (vincenthaycock.com) shows only the other version of the video, so I guess the version described here is NOT done by him. What's the source that identifies him as connected to this video? And who did the other video? Are they both done by him? Cisz Helion (talk) 03:03, 13 July 2010 (UTC) - Turns out someone fixed the bit about the videos now, and even managed to find the director for the second version. Great job.--Cisz Helion (talk) 16:12, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

it says that it is "the making of", but I've seen some tv stations playing this video--SveroH (talk) 20:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Issues Part 1(Resolved)

Opening: ""3 Words" is a song by British recording artist Cheryl Cole (of Girls Aloud) and, is both the opening and title song from debut studio album." Rewrite to say: "3 Words" is a song by British recording artist Cheryl Cole (of Girls Aloud). The song is both the opening and title song from her debut studio album, 3 Words (album).  Done The uptempo synth and dance music-inspired pop song was written by Cole, George Pajon and will.i.am; the latter of also features on and, produced the song. It was cited by Cole as her favourite song from the album for being different to what people expected. Where ihave in bold needs to be re-written, it doesnt quite make sense.  Done Musical composition and style: "3 Words" is a uptempo synthpop,[1] dance music[2] pop song[3] featuring vocals from and produced by will.i.am who also wrote the track alongside Cole and George Pajon. Rewrite to say ..... "3 Words" is an uptempo synthpop,[1] dance music[2] pop song[3]. The song was written by Cole, alongside George Pajon and will.i.am who produced the song and also features in the song. Something like that, couldnt quite figure out a great wording.  Done Noticeably missing is the standard "verse-chorus-verse song structure"[3], and makes use of a sparse but complex chord progression of C♯ m–G♯ m–C♯–A major/C♯ ..... Missing a word somewhere.  Done The production featuring features loops of acoustic guitar[5] with a piano melody[6] to form an "atmospheric love song"[7] in the vocal range of G♯3 to B4.[4] Critics stated that the "sophisticated love song"[8] is difficult to class by genre because it is it's "unconventional", something which<no comma> Cole agreed when she said, "[its] totally different from anything I've done [with Girls Aloud] or liked before". Incorrect commas.  Done The industry noted how it was "unlike many things currently [at that time] on radio or being released".[6] The industry? Everyone single person noted this? lol. Needs rewritten.  Done Other: Dab links. Please see here for how to correct  Done

Issues Part 2(Resolved)

Critical Reception: "David Balls of Digital Spy writes, [...]" Wrote because its past tense.  Done "Louise McCudden of Inthenews.co.uk, however, argues that although "her voice sounds pleasant" Argued as its past tense.  Done Music Video: Background and Concept: "The first The music video was a viral verson version directed by Vincent Haycock in the week begining beginning 19 October 2009". Spelling and other mistakes, removed/replace where ive striked out.  Done "The video was described as being distinctly different to that of previous single "Fight for This Love",[34] drawing comparisons with to Madonna[35] and Lady Gaga.[36] " To not with  Done Music Video Synopsis: "The video begins with Cole sat sitting alongside will.i.am, wearing a "Lady Gaga-inspired platinum blonde wig" .... Incorrect tense. In these the early scenes she "swaps her bronzed tan for alabaster skin, smokey eyes and pale lipstick". ... incorrect tense both issues have been fixed. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC) Reception: I would start with a line indicating the videos reception which by scanning seems to be mixed or negative. Ill let you decide which one it is. I would say mixed to negative. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me issue resolved. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC) Chart Performance: Needs to be rewritten. Needs expansion as it currently is basically listing the charts sections. re-write complete --Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC) "A day before its digital release[14] and two days before its CD release[15] the single climbed to number fourteen[16] although it and then in first week of 2010 it would go on to peak at number four.[17]"..... huh? lol. needs a re-write. fixed... sorry! --Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC) "It was more successful than fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue's second single "Success", which reached number eleven in 1991[20] and Cole's protege, Alexandra Burke's second single "Broken Heels" which peaked at number eight.[21]" Not needed, its fluff. removed, i thought it was a good comparison but on second thoughts it could be seen as fancruft --Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
