== Filmography ==
I've expanded a bit, putting in the discography.
Further work: I don't know where to find highest-chart achievement information for the singles and album. If you do, please add it in.
I know I should have a reference for the album's chart performance, but I can't find one. So if you know one... [[User:Pomegranate|pomegranate]] 16:12, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)

Does appearing in Strictly really count as "filmography"?![[User:Gymnophoria|Gymnophoria]] ([[User talk:Gymnophoria|talk]]) 10:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Do we still call #1 singles "hits"? I thought the singles market was waning significantly, so to be a number 1 single wasn't all that difficult to orchestrate.


== Awards ==
Maybe the use of the word 'singer' is dubious too. I've never actually seen her sing - only mime. Presumably it is her voice?. I remember that she once swapped voice-boxes with Jo O'Meara for a time; Jo's powerful voice still being audible whilst Jo herself was absent from the stage with back trouble.


She hasn't won any of these awards!

[[Special:Contributions/203.215.103.7|203.215.103.7]]'s edits on 30 October, whilst I am sure was done with good intentions and does contain some new information, is horrendous and makes the article unreadable.

I found this under the ''personal life'', which may be true to some degree: ''"Much of this section is speculation and unfounded rumor.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
Do we even need this section? It seems stalky and gossipy. And the bullet about her eye colour is redundant, since you can see the color clearly on the pictures in the article. [[User:145.97.225.227|145.97.225.227]] 18:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

90% of this section seems to be unverifiable and unreferenced, i agree that it needs an overhaul. Also, I am removing the 'vandalism' which says she is the daughter of Shakin' Stevens and neice of Cat Stevens. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.108.174.24|81.108.174.24]] ([[User talk:81.108.174.24|talk]]) 00:03, 14 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: I think the whole section should be removed. It's not encyclopediac information who she's dating and who she's split up with etc. If she got married perhaps it might be briefly referred to in a summing up of what she's doing now. On a seperate note, I found an article from the Guardian: "1000 albums you must hear before you die". It includes "Come and Get It" and I've included it in the appropriate section with a link.--[[User:Tuzapicabit|Tuzapicabit]] ([[User talk:Tuzapicabit|talk]]) 03:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

== Behaviour ==

Interesting that there is no mention of her legendary awkwardness - a fact which could explain her sporadic musical output, as she often has trouble finding producers that are prepared to work with her. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.95.99.103|85.95.99.103]] ([[User talk:85.95.99.103|talk]]) 14:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== heya ==

heya i am just wondering why we havent heard of rachael stevens for ages i think it is kind of weird that a good singer like her would just disappear

== Education and religion ==

The article mentions her having studied at the London School of Fashion- there's no such institution, but there is a London College of Fashion. Is that what's meant?

Also, why does the article not mention that she's Jewish- i think this is notable?

:She is categorized twice (English Jews & Jewish singers) as far as her religion as concerned. As for the London School of Fashion thing, that is the name the source provided. I had a hard time finding reliable sources regarding the subject, so if you have one, feel free to add it and refactor the article accordingly.
