Kiss or Queen

[edit]

He is not necessarily dressed as a member of Kiss. He wears a catsuit which was worn by many glam rock stars most notably Freddie Mercury and Marc Bolan long before Kiss. He also wears white face make up which Freddie and Marc often donned.

The only distignuishing feature which would suggest Kiss would be the eye make up but it is probably POV to suggest that Robbie Williams is dressed as a member of Kiss. With the name being the same as Queen's hard rock/ glam hit it is more likely a tribute to all glam stars rather than just Kiss.

Thoughts?

'mon cher'

[edit]

I have deleted this line: "Either intentionally or not, through the lyrics the singer addresses the listener as 'mon cher', which is French for 'my dear' when speaking to a male." I don't see that it has any relevance. Also, if I remember correctly from learning French in school, 'mon' is used not only when speaking to a male, but also when talking to a group of people of mixed gender.

Comparison to "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones

[edit]

I removed this passage from the article: "The chord structure (F, Ab/F, Bb/F, F) and in particular the piano riff is almost identical to the Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil", the difference mainly being in tempo. "

The chords in Sympathy for the Devil are (E, D, A, E) or occasionally (E, D, A/C#, E).

If I am not mistaken, the chords are in roman numeral analysis notation Let Me Entertain You: I, bIII/I, IV/I, I and Sympathy for the Devil: I, bVII, IV(/VI), I

The piano riffs are also not rhythmically similar. mtreinik (talk) 07:42, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

– Even though this song isn't Robbie's biggest hit, it's quite clearly more notable than all the other songs, the TV episode and both of the short-lived TV shows Unreal7 (talk) 13:57, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So this article got 70% of all the "Let Me Entertain You" views last month - including the disambiguation page, which covers even the uses without articles. That makes this the clear primarytopic by usage. And since these are all recent popular culture usages, there is no long-term significance to worry about. Clear primarytopic by any definition.

How many times does this have to be said: Page Views Are Not Our Criteria - see the rest of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:05, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, none, hopefully, considering that usage is one of the two principal criteria listed at wp:primarytopic, and that pageviews is listed as one of the principal ways to determine usage. You do agree that usage is one of the principal criteria, correct? Dohn joe (talk) 23:11, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:In ictu oculi: you do agree that usage is one of the principal criteria, correct? Dohn joe (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dohn joe, you have all questions of every contributor to the RM all basically repeatedly asking everyone the same question. The answer to the question is this: How many readers looking for the Robbie Williams song will not know that it is a song by Robbie Williams? Therein is your answer as to why WP:NCM requires multiple song articles have artist names. A song (at least post the Tin-pan Alley era), as has been said many times before is not a person or a city or even a film where notability is inherent, but for most modern songs is derived from and inherently linked with the artist. If this had multiple covers you might have a case. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:40, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realize that the other editors had granted you their proxy in answering questions addressed to them. Dohn joe (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You made the same pageviews point under my comment too. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:04, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In case the question comes up again in the future, until further notice I am comfortable with the notion that, in my absence, IIO has the authority to respond as my proxy in Wikipedia Talk page discussions. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:BarrelProof, thanks I wasn't actually thinking of answering as anyone's proxy seeing as there are two outstanding questions to me above (WP:BLUDGEON?) but for the record, if you see any reader-confusing RM proposals over the Xmas period feel please fully confident to answer on my behalf. Cheers In ictu oculi (talk) 03:03, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Robbie Williams song has nowhere near the historical importance and widespread influence of the Sondheim musical song. The 1959 song was highly notable in itself, and has been covered or reinterpreted by many notable artists since then – a fact that remains true regardless of whether it has a separate article or not and regardless of the fact that, in this case, the article is only 6 months old and may not have attracted a lot of attention so far. The only reason that so many works have this title is that there is a highly influential older work with this title. If there's a primary topic, it's that one – recent page views nothwithstanding. If not for the prior work, Williams would not have a made a semi-notable pop song with that title. —BarrelProof (talk) 06:12, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response - I suppose we agree to disagree here. Dohn joe (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
