Schoolin' Life edit
( )
- ... that Beyoncé Knowles' song "Schoolin' Life" was produced using 100 tracks, from which 50 were for music and 50 were for the vocals?
- ALT1:... that in "Schoolin' Life", Beyoncé Knowles sings in whistle register while additional background vocals can be heard in the background?
- ALT2:... in "Schoolin' Life", Beyoncé Knowles employs guttural vocals to address many life lessons to "20-somethings", "30-somethings", "40-somethings", and "50-somethings"? Aaron • You Da One 16:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

- ALT3:... in "Schoolin' Life", Beyoncé Knowles channels the friskiness of American singer Prince in his prime and employs guttural vocals to address many life lessons to everyone from their 20s to their 50s? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 17:10, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
The original nomination does not make sense. 100 songs were used to make just "Schoolin' Life?" Also, the ALT1 is factually inaccurate. Katherine St. Asaph, who wrote the review, said "and if it’s her in the background with the whistle register". Emphasis on "if" in this sentence, meaning that she does not know whether or not she is hitting those notes or if they are part of the instrumental. Plus, I am telling for a fact that Beyonce does not hit any form of whistle note. I have given you an ALT2. Aaron • You Da One 16:14, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
ALT3 preferred. References are good. Paraphrasing is okay. 1, 2. Aaron • You Da One 17:19, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Just so that someone else does not think that the first one does not make sense, I wish to make it clear that it does becuase we cannot contradict what the producer said. And the source never used songs It used the word tracks. Tracks are used to mix songs. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 17:20, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
