OVERALL REVIEW

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put this article on-hold to allow time for changes. Most of the article is fine and ready for good article status. However, there are some minor issues that I addressed below keeping it away from good article status that involve the prose of the article. I will give a week for these mistakes to be fixed and/or defend any items below that you believe do not affect good article status. - Rp0211 (talk2me) 06:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Lead
  • "The song experienced strong success in several international markets, becoming Carey's eighth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100." - For clarity, make it "...in several international markets and also became Carey's..."
  • "...topping the charts in Ireland the UK for three weeks..." - Fix sentence grammar
Background
  • "In 1989, Carey was discovered by Tommy Mottola, CEO of Columbia Records, and was promptly signed to the label." - Needs a reference
  • "...four other tracks were written and produced by the former..." - Instead of former, put last name of producer
  • "...the only hold over from her debut." - Unclear terminology
  • "Emotions contained influences from mostly 1950's, 60's and 70's balladry and gospel, as well as her continued work of R&B and soul." - Needs a reference
Writing and recording
  • No issues
Composition and lyrical content
  • "I call it the 'Spirit of God'that dwells within me." - Put space in between "God" and "that"
Copyright lawsuits
  • "This case has been thrown out of court thee times." - Fix spelling of "three"
Reception
  • "On November 8, 2008, following the release of the "Hero" by the X Factor finalists, re-entering the chart at number 100." - It should be "it re-entered.."
Music videos and re-recordings
  • "Additionally, a music video was filmed and released for the 2008 version, featuring behind the scenes footage of the song's recording, as well as Carey's writing music in the studio." - Needs a source
    • Traditionally, we don't require sources for music video synopsis, as it is readily verifiable to everyone, and is not always sourced by a high quality reference. See other article to see what I mean.--CallMeNathanTalk2Me 19:38, 30 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
