Info box

• Recorded parameter needed
• I'd put the music video link as an External link at the bottom of the article like "Trouble (Leona Lewis song)".

Lead

• Described by Aguilera as the "heart of the album," the song was written by Aguilera and Sia Furler, with the song's producer Samuel Dixon. → Described by Aguilera as the "heart of the album," it was co-written by Aguilera, Sia Furler and the producer of the song, Samuel Dixon.
• Lyrically, the song talks about a cheating man, who has left the world in Aguilera's view as "infected". → This could re-worded, just isn't clear enough.
• with reviewers noting it as one of the album's highlights and complimenting the song for being a return to Aguilera in the time before the previous single, "Not Myself Tonight". → Same again here. The second paragraph could do with be re-written.
• Commercially, the song's performance was very weak, becoming her first single to fail to enter the → Poor phrasing
• Billboard Hot 100 → U.S. Billboard Hot 100
• Internacionally, → You should be able to work out what needs to be fixed here.
• percormance → And here.
• A music video directed by Anthony Mandler was conceived to embody the lyrics of the track, it featured Aguilera in several scenes. → This is even worse, very bad to read.
• First in a room full of damaged furniture, second in an area filled with charcoal on which she lies, and thirdly in a blue and white room in which a man attempts to pick her up of which she fights back, all the while in tears. → This is a bad brief synopsis, uninspiring to read.
• , and generally Aguilera's appearance was well received. → Poor phrasing.
• She performed the song on American Idol, the Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show, and The Early Show. → The wording here could also be improved. The entire lead is just like a list of hard facts, it's uninspiring to read.

Summary

Sorry but failing. The lead alone is poorly written with basic grammar and spelling mistake issues. It is boring to read and not engaging. Picking out an issue at random from the rest of the article: "Set at 50 beats per minute, it is categorized in genres" is also written poorly. I suggest you get someone from the guild of copy editors to go over the article, or ask some other friends or editors who are uninvolved with the article to help you. Considering they have also contributed greatly to the article, perhaps ask User:Status or User:Lil-unique1. AARON• ^TALK 17:16, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
