GA review 1

[edit]
  • "in its first week, the most copies ever sold in a week" - repetition (a week)...can you reword
  • "dominate the chart." - should that be plural?
  • "A classic R&B album" - NPOV, does anyone actually call it this?
  • "claimed the record his story." - missing word? The record is his story?
  • "Usher "didn't look too far" when he started working on Confessions." - I don't get what this is trying to say...
  • "to give the new record with personal touch" - huh?
  • "thought of doing it would let the people knew Usher introspectively" - huh again? this is sometimes very unclear
  • "For instance, "Burn" was built around a situation like that of its lyrics" - that tells nothing to someone who hasn't heard the song
  • "Same through with the supposedly title track "Confessions Part II", they were conversing and its concept was written down" - same again (and second word appears to be a typo, and comma should be semicolon)
    • Which one? Fixed semicolon. Added info bout the lyrics/concept. (Actually its supported in the following lines but to not break the story, I put it in here, as suggested.) --Efe (talk) 07:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "When "Yeah!" came in, however, Usher and the label were plagued by marketing strategies" - the however makes no sense at the start of the section
  • Early reaction and lyrical interpretation section needs a good copyedit...
  • "Although songs like "Burn" is a reference to his dying relationship with Chilli" - were there any other Chilli-related songs, or just that one?
  • "prevented it to happen" - prevented it from happening would read better I think
  • "With strategies to keep the album boosts its sales" - huh?
  • "However, it actually began when American R&B and soul singer Alicia Keys, who is featured on the track, that "brought in that the talk of repackaging started"" - rmv "that"
  • "The success of the album has put Usher in the mainstream for becoming the biggest artist of the year" - needs past tense
  • More critical response (what reviewers said) would be good
