Hmm... I see a few flaws

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   This seems to be written in American English, with the date format as "May 24, 2005", but "favourite" seems to have a "u" in it as in British English; isn't it supposed to be "favorite"? same with "cancelled", which supposed to have one 'l' if it's AE, despite the two ls are used a lot in American society; either that, or change the date format to "24 May 2005"; In the lead, why use the date of when it was first released on iTunes (August 26, 2005)? it's better to use the date when it was first released, which is May 24, 2005 as a vinyl single; why is Evan Rogers surname used as "Rogers' " throughout, after being used as "Rogers' wife"? so sentences like "Rogers' asked Rihanna and her two friends" don't make sense, unless you're talking about the couple as a family, which should read "The Rogers'" otherwise it should just read "Rogers"; in "and compared it to Beyoncé Knowles 2003 chart topper", "Knowles" should have the apostrophe at the end, to read "Knowles' "; "protoganists" should read "protagonist's"

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Evan Rogers is overlinked in the main body of the article, first being wikilinked in the Background section, but then again in the Composition section as "Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers"; should remove the second wikilink

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   good, but the display of ref#69 is a bit messed up; please fix

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   good

   C. No original research:

   okay

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   fine

   B. Focused:

   okay

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   good

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   no problems here

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   good

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   I think there should be an screenshot from the music video

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Please address the issues I mentioned

• The date format is fine. It is allowed.
• I can see FN69 is mucked up, but when I click edit to fix it, I can't actually see what is wrong?
• Have done everything else.

I fixed the reference part of it; seems you missed out the "http://" part of the url; since you changed everything to American English, the date format is now ok; I'll pass it; though I do find it weird that you put an image of Whitney Houston in the article instead of a screenshot from the music video-SCB '92 (talk) 18:24, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks and thanks lol. I put a pic of Whitney because I don't know how to upload pictures, and I thought I would add one sooner rather than later. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 18:47, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
