Marry The Night
Hey do you think you could put an audio of Marry the Night on that page? Muthamonster (talk) 06:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- Will try. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:11, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- Cool thanks. By the way I have been reading some of your pages/posts and I should probably apologise for the trouble I have caused you. You have quite a portfolio for wikipedia I must say. Muthamonster (talk) 06:21, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- No problem and no harm done. Sometimes people learn it the hard way I guess, and as for profiles, I try my best that's all I can say. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- I have the song. If you tell me what part, I can do it now.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:33, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- I think from the beginning (when she starts singing and the accordion plays) till the main beat starts... that should do. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:58, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- I see, the time restraints make that a bit tricky. On this video, tell me what second to what second, I guess we have a full 30 seconds due to its length.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 07:20, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- From 18s to 48s would be splendid. — Legolas (talk2me) 07:51, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, so I added the audio sample. Tell me what you think. Don't forget to add whatever caption you'd like, its pretty basic as of now.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 21:19, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thnks a lot Nat. I will see to it. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:00, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Can this be true? Jivesh • Talk2Me 08:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Let's call a spade a spade here, of course there's high chance that its true. — Legolas (talk2me) 12:11, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Her label has confirmed the total opposite. However, i think Beyonce should put some uptempo and dance-pop flavored tracks for the deluxe edition. Jivesh • Talk2Me 12:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Use your brains, what choice does a label has to say in this rather than, "It's not trrrrueeee" — Legolas (talk2me) 12:27, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Do you think they are doing the right thing. Beyonce has admitted that she does not want than and she is flying back to the US to fight for her opinion but it seems Jay-Z won't agree. He is urging the label to convince Beyonce to record a new album. Jivesh • Talk2Me 12:45, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello :) Okay, I finished my work on Irresistible (finally!). If you're free, can you do a quick c/e and if possible, can you suggest which song's sample should I add/upload to Composition section?? Thanks.. Novice7 (talk) 13:13, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sureee. — Legolas (talk2me) 13:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks heaps! Don't forget about the sample, that is, if one is needed :D Novice7 (talk) 13:22, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, only if you can, would you be able to do give a Peer Review currently on the on the S&M article? No one has given one yet. I requested one to see what else needs to be done to the article before i nominate for GA again. Thanks. calvin999 (talk) 17:28, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes sure I will comment there shortly. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks :). When you say "wholly revamp and copy-edit the article", what do you mean by this, re-write the entire article?! calvin999 (talk) 11:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Not wholly revamp it, but remove redundancies and erroneous additions hindering it from GA status. — Legolas (talk2me) 13:32, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Such as? Or is that what you are doing now? lol calvin999 (talk) 14:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes exactly, please donot revert anything till I say so. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

You know you just reverted my edit reverting that IP User, how come you said it's a valid chart but removed it from S&M saying it's unnecessary? calvin999 (talk) 14:37, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Where have I removed it from "S&M"? Its still present. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:42, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- What was you saying was unnecessary? Because someone had added the "Brasil Hot Pop & Popular Songs" chart but now it is not there.calvin999 (talk) 14:49, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- I removed the Romania chart because there is no archive and peak position will be difficult to verify. As for Billboard Brazil Hot Pop, its also unnecessary to add it when the Hot 100 Airplay is already present. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Oh right okay. So that chart is only okay for someone to add fi the Hot 100 Airplay chart is not there? calvin999 (talk) 14:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- No, only if the song hasn't charted on the Brazil Hot 100 Airplay. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:58, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Okay. How is the Live performance section on the S&M article? I spent ages expanding that lol calvin999 (talk) 15:03, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Legolas you think you could check this little issue out?? [1] --MindyHall (talk) 02:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wait some time, any trusted user will come and check the file. I would also advice you not to upload these images, as they are kinda blurry and fade in their resolution. Its better you search for extreme high quality images, which I'm sure are available. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- So should that file be deleted and upload the actual one and you can crop it (the original one)??MindyHall (talk) 21:14, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Not delete and nor crop it also. Leave it as it is. But next time when you upload try to find a proper and good resolution picture. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Question
How can i verify whether BTINH has been added to Top40 radio? Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
This shows it is the most picked song on 7 radios. But there is no release date for radio. I checked the archives. Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:21, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Do you have access to Mediabase or Allaccess quick-cut info? If not, then no. Last I know, BTINH's totals were "65 46 BEYONCE Best Thing I Never Had 589 157 +432 6.745". — Legolas (talk2me) 06:24, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- No, i so not have access. What are you talking about in the lat part? The spins? Is it good? Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:26, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- It seems that "Party" has gone viral and "Countdown" is one of the top 10 most downloaded illegal songs. Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:28, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- 46 is its latest position, it still hasn't broken into top 40, 589 is its total spins, 157 is the spins increased (bullet) from last week, and 6.745 is its audience impression in millions. PS, Can you please not edit conflict? — Legolas (talk2me) 06:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- How do we avoid edit conflicts? I also have a lot of edit conflicts. Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- By stopping to post consecutively before the other person replies. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:33, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Okay. Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- And JonathanLGardner has continued history of uploading images not conforming to WP:NFCC and continued vandalism and sockpuppetry. I would suggest you not to encourage him to post images in his flickr account, which will of course be non-free. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- So who should i request? Jivesh • Talk2Me 06:55, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I have no idea, but don't request the wrong person. This is with your best interest in my heart. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:59, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

H.A.T.E.U.
So are you saying that it could never be a GA because there simply isn't enough info to make it worthy? (Also, there is nothing to really say with regard to performance descriptions. It's just Mariah and a mic, nothing else). calvin999 (talk) 16:17, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I never said that, I said at present its a long stretch for it to be a GA, without any song info, background, composition etc. May be later when Carey talks about it more. As for the live performances, there are more aspects to it like the reception of the performance, the mood in which she sang it, the vocals, whether the composition varied from venue to venue etc. — Legolas (talk2me) 16:38, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Oh okay, that's how it read. I could talk about those things but there won't be any sources to back it up. She sang the song in the same style, key and mood every-time, although the one in Japan was lip-synced. calvin999 (talk) 16:43, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- There you go, you can research on the lip-synch. Maybe you can find how critics reacted to it. Since Carey is a good vocalist she is bound to be criticized for it etc etc. Calvin, there's no limit to what you can find by proper research. Try google news archives, try magazines in your local libraries, try magazines online. You will be surprised probably at the amount of info the song might have. Of course I did a basic search and found nothing. — Legolas (talk2me) 16:49, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Not really, it's not as critisized as Britney for example, because it is vocally taxing for Mariah to always sing live outside of the US in addition to the US. It's only been since 2008 that she has started singing live outside the US again, since 2002/2003. But I'll have a look. Thanks. calvin999 (talk) 16:59, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Nadia Ali GA Review
Hey there, not sure if I should be hassling you like this but I noticed you do a fair bit of GA reviews. I've just done a major overhaul of the article on Nadia Ali after a peer review. Based on similar articles in the Wikiproject Electronic Music I think it's ready for a GA status, so I've nominated it for that. If it's possible could you please have a look at it and suggest what other changes I need to make before it can get that rating? Thanks Hassan514 (talk) 20:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, I would love to take a look. One of my favorite personalities. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the changes you've made but I do have an issue with removing the Queen of Clubs image. Yes, it's copyright but it does come under the fair use criteria because the image is not an album cover neither is it replaceable. I strongly think that it helps understanding what Ali did with the trilogy where she has portrayed herself as the "Queen of Clubs". The image helps in understanding how she used the playing card and has taken on that identity. Hassan514 (talk) 13:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

- Yeah, that's one of mine too. I got it in my iPod and played it over 100 times in one day. After that I got "You Belong with Me" around its time of popularity and started looking into her songs from Fearless. I fell in love and bought the album, and here I am now. lol.

Sure Lego, no hurry at all. Nathan, the albums link goes back to 2008 (choose older cache), here's 2007, 2006 2005, and 2004. For songs, use the Billboard URL and change '2009' to the year you want (dunno when it begins). I think Japan has other singles charts, but I'm not sure if there are year-ends for them. Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:41, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- In the albums one, google translate won't translate it. I can't decipher Japanese -.-. Thank you Legolas, I have seen that and then I see some FAs and they're not at the level of the candidates. I don't understand what's going on. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 05:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- Main reason the FA's arnt passing is About.com; two (possibly 3 i cant remember) users in particular have an issue with the website, which you have a few times in the article, it will get torn apart. It will take a few years probably for the websites reliability to be established, its fine for GA's (used in literally hundreds of them, consensus has established that its allowed) but FA is another story -__- - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 06:00, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

3-Way (The Golden Rule) is not a promo single
How can you call this song a promotional single if it's not even promoting anything.--Supergamer345 (talk) 21:45, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- How can you call this a single if its not even confirmed with a release by the label, sent to radio, or released physically? — Legolas (talk2me) 01:48, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- None of their songs are confirmed as official singles!--Supergamer345 (talk) 01:52, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry that's not how consensus works here in Wikipedia. A song needs to be released physically or sent to radio for it to be confirmed as a single. Look at releases like "Hair", "Dance in the Dark" etc. They are all promotional singles, since they were not sent to radio or released as a single. — Legolas (talk2me) 01:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Hey, I saw "The Edge of Glory" video... not good (sorry) If it helps, I hate Taylor's video for "Mean". How do you like Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" video? I'm in love with it. Also, I read the other day that you rejected Britney tickets because of lip synching. I was looking up videos and it's surprisingly LIVE! NOTICE HOW I'M WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 07:02, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hate Gaga's video, hate Taylor's video, absolutely loooooove TGIF. And she backtracked most of it, I'm not sure from the video how much of that is live. Gaga really disappointed me. — Legolas (talk2me) 07:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, well at least she took the liberty to sing something lol. She was never a good singer but she currently the only lip syncher in the music industry. Not even Kesha (who's songs are all auto tune). DAMMIT BRITNEY! And did you like "The Story of Us". I did haha. But TGIF is easily gonna win VMA video of the year. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 07:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

- I think Katy will get at least two nominations with TGIF and Firework. Gaga one with BTW. I dont think Judas will be nominated. Britney will take another one for HIAM and another would be probably Nicki Minaj or one of the horrible rapper videos. — Legolas (talk2me) 08:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Anyway, I feel the exact same way. It almost seems like GaGa went a little nuts in the filming with the sending everyone home and not using the amazing sets built. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:22, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- I know. I find that as a fan it's important to stay grounded and realize when an artist didn't do too well. I believe that this music video is her first since Just Dance that I just didn't like. It lacked a storyline, a interesting set, cool costumes etc. Just the sound of her being a mermaid with an army etc just sounds soo exciting. I know she left the project for something like artistic integrity but it definitely wasn't a good choice. I just hope she'll be able to find a way to release maybe of clip of the previous work, because as of now I will believe that no EOG video existed other than the one in my imagination with gaga has a mermaid and evolving into a human ...kinda like the Little Mermaid from Disney!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 22:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

S&M
What do you mean embedded between two paragraphs? That quote is the last paragraph in the Remix section. It looks like just another paragraph and does not flow from the previous. I wouldn't be saying this if it was not what I thought when I saw it. At least put "" at the start and finish to make resemble somewhat of a quote. calvin999 (talk) 15:45, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- You did not understand the point. See Calvin, one of the goals of developing a featured content is to make it accessible for all readers. In this case, the {{cquote}} is throwing the blockquote into the main section of the next para, because there is an image placed on the left. This will create problems for users with screen resolution < 800×600. Yes, we can put quotes and you are welcome to do that, but the template doesn't work here because of this reason, unlike the music video section. — Legolas (talk2me) 15:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

- Yes, she started with "Hair", then moved to "The Edge of Glory" (performance resembled the music video), then "You and I" and lastly, a medley of "Born This Way" and "Judas". I actually hate the video for the fact that its so uninspired and damn cheap. — Legolas (talk2me) 17:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- I really like the video, it's not swirling around with a million ideas, it matches the song. It's good to see she can do something "normal", but people are expecting so much of her now. It's not a bad video, it's just more simple than the others. Calvin • (999) 17:33, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't care that the MusicNotes source for S&M is "trusted"; it's WRONG. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Maybe you're not musically inclined and just don't get it. I apologize if I'm coming across like a total asshole but there's a reason why I keep changing the key signature for S&M. The MusicNotes source is WRONG. The original key is E-flat minor,. The MusicNotes source is a TRANSCRIPTION into E minor, (meaning IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN THE ORIGINAL KEY). Why make the change? Because E-flat minor has six flats in the key signature. E minor has one sharp. This makes the latter key a lot easier to play for the average pianist. So while the MusicNotes source may be pretty and "trusted" and all that good stuff, you're making a mistake if you're trying to cite a TRANSCRIPTION (DIFFERENT KEY) as the ACTUAL key of the song.
Maybe YOU need to do more research. Find a virtual keyboard and play the notes as listed on MusicNotes, then compare it with the source I cited and compare the two against S&M. Mine gives the RIGHT key signature, the ORIGINAL key signature. I do not give two shits about whether MusicNotes source is trusted because it is WRONG. And THAT is a stone-cold fact. And if I have to change it a hundred different times and go through a hundred different sources before you are satisfied, then so be it.

Nah i'll pass on the vodka but hand me a mojito and I'm happy ;) No its not my first job, i've worked part time before before and previously had a six week internship with the uK's biggest insurance company. However, I wasn't expecting to get a full year internship on my university course as only 50% of my course actually got internships and the competition was very high but yes.. I'll be joining walmart shortly. Im quite excited... but I wanted to at least finish OTF... and hopefully get this album which has been pushed back a million times, had two million names, three million producers and four million singles into some sort of good shape before its actually released, which actually goes beyond belief because I've been working on it for over a year and lost hope of ever seeing it being released. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 15:20, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I am really getting tired of your nonsensical rule over any and every page on this project regarding Lady Gaga and various other popular musical acts. 3-Way (The Golden Rule) is being treated as a single on every single page and template on the project and was considered a single until you changed the categorization of the infobox. It's listed as a single in The Lonely Island discography, as a featured song (or the equivalent "guest vocalist" section) on Justin Timberlake discography, and it's listed as standard (or featured) singles on those two musical acts' navbox templates. Consensus and common sense seems to dictate that it is a single and it is a single that features Lady Gaga. I have a further breakdown of why I disagree with your assertion that the song is a promo single Talk:3-Way (The Golden Rule), so I would appreciate if you did not revert everything I have just done.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Due to the actions taken by User:Tbhotch in response to my modification of 3-Way (The Golden Rule), Template:Lady Gaga, and Lady Gaga discography, I have opened up an ANI thread. If you would like to participate, it is located at WP:ANI#Petty templating and edit warring over an infobox. I would also like to apologize for the tone I initially took in my posting to your talk page. I still would like some sort of formal discussion should take place as to what template should be used, outside of the actions taken by Tbhotch.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes Ryulong, you really need to cool down and not lose your head over this. Its just a matter of time when the official release will be announced and then it will be changed back to single status. Untill then, sources indicate this to be a promotional release. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Judas GA
- Another GA for you! Such a great article for an awesome song. Too bad people didn't understand it so it didn't do too well. And yes I saw Britney's video. Only one of this era that I actually like, mainly because of the humor in the beginning. Once again great work, not only on Judas but BTW and The Monster Ball Tour as well! After this Gaga fiasco do you plan on starting Madonna's Like a Prayer era or American Life era?--Blackjacks101 (talk) 17:56, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

HOW CAN I CITE THEM WHEN I HAVE ADDED SIX WEEK SALES... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afrazrasheed (talk • contribs) 23:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- A + B + C + D + E + F is not equal to G. You need a source(s) that states its sales. ۞ Tbhotch™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 23:48, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Afraz, what Tbhotch meant was that you cannot just add sales from the links and report it as one million. You need a reliable source saying that it reached one million per SoundScan. Untill then please stop adding unreliable sources for verification. — Legolas (talk2me) 04:43, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Picture
I'm confused, please help haha. Calvin • 999 18:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- There are many problems with File:Rihanna and Eminem - Grammys 2011.jpg. First, it portrays two living individuals, and when free images of them can be found, non-free image is not acceptable. Secondly, you haven't mentioned any license of the image, whether its non-free or free or public domain etc. And lastly, it cannot be accepted in Wikipedia for the above two reasons. — Legolas (talk2me) 04:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
- How do I know if it is free or non free? I was told that I didn't need permission. Calvin • 999 11:17, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
- Huh? Whoever told you that clearly made a fool out of you Calvin. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:33, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
- eeek, I won't say who then :/. I'll just leave the pic, I don't get how it works. Calvin • 999 23:01, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Lego
Is there anything we can do about him? He's removing Forbes data from pages again. And tbh, this edit [3] kind of scares me. Xwomanizerx (talk) 03:18, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- It seems its his personal opinion that Forbes isn't reliable or that they are just not providing facts. Have you considered leaving a WP:OR and WP:EW warnings? As for the image change, leave a hidden warning note in the article, that only the recent most image should be used and any change should be discussed in the talk page. Violators will be reported. That way anyone changing the image is simply violating this consensus. — Legolas (talk2me) 04:46, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: W.E. (film)
Heyyyy! Sorry it took so long to reply =/. I just had a quick look over the article (I'm going to give it a better inspection very soon) and there does seem to be quite a bit of useful information about the film's production and release. My only concern is the source of material: The Daily Fail. I've seen several GAs use it as a source but if you ever wanted to try for FA status, some editors might bring up replacing it with a more trustworthy publication. Crystal Clear x3 01:02, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Some useful things:
- You can mention in the development section that Madonna had previous directing experience with a 2008 short film release
- This film marks her first feature production
- It will also showcase her as a serious filmmaker (in the release section: As one publication pointed out, W.E. will be a platform for Madonna to prover herself as a serious filmmaker)
- When making this picture, Madonna had in mind that it would establish her artistic credibility and give her success in the movie field after appearing in several critical failures in the past several decades
- A test screening that was kept under wraps was said to have drawn up negative reception from its audience. Viewers believed the movie did not add up and seemed more like a fancy advertisement than what its production values were. Other observations were that W.E. had no heart to it and was more style over substance. This led to Weinstein re-editing it in the hopes of having it be more commercially marketable.
- (if this isn't already in the article) Madonna spoke to friends and associates of Simpson, such as socialite Nicky Haslam, to help gather more information on the subject
- Producer David Parfitt and casting agent Nina Gold removed themselves from the project shortly after becoming attached to it, citing creative differences
- Just days after working with Madonna, Margo Stilley pulled out of W.E.. Reports have suggested that the actress found the filmmaker to be too "overbearing and controlling"
- (if you want) Clothing featured in the movie came from big name designers like Galliano and Issa and its jewelry was recreated by Cartier.

S&M
I was reverting S&M for the second time in 2 minutes and it didn't work, and i got really annoyed, thinking the IP had edited again, then I saw you had reverted, which is cool lol. Calvin • 999 18:00, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed that too. Good you reported him and hey, you got to use Twinkle! :) — Legolas (talk2me) 05:33, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Album ratings template
Would you like to add your opinion to an ongoing discussion regarding the Template:Album ratings? It concerns the number of reviews/scores included in the template and whether or not to keep in the template the reviews with no ratings given, termed "(un)favorable", "mixed", "positive", etc. Dan56 (talk) 22:28, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Re:Glastonbury
Hell yeah! I think that that was her best performance of "Single Ladies". And BTINH/EOT was really good too. Her voice sounds better than on the studio versions. She always has the same crowd-wooing techniques in the middle of songs, though. Eg 1,2,3,4 clapping in "Crazy" and the eh-eh in SL... but yeah, AMAZING! Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:22, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah that part kinda effed me off too. I like the whole album, except "Love on Top" - I don't really get it. BTINH, "Countdown", EOT, "I Was Here" and "Dance for You" are my faves. And the deluxe remixes aren't too bad, at least they don't use the same beat as every other flipping song at the moment. (Party Rock Anthem, anyone?) Lol this episode of The Big Bang Theory just screened over here :P. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wow, that is a way behind. (It's only a 30 second snippet, if you're tempted...) Urrgh, I am quite disgusted at what's been dominating the charts lately. Thank goodness for Adele (Someone Like You #1 here and Aussie). "I Was Here" reminds me of "Save the Hero"; I can't believe that STH was only on the Platinum IASF, it should have been traded for "Satellites" or something...smh. Yep, I was suprised to find I didn't really miss Gaga on "Telephone"... it was after the DC medley. GLastonbury doesn't screen here (except maybe on pay TV), so I watch em all on YouTube. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:41, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- I really wanna get 21, too bad I cbf getting an after-school job to pay for shit... oh well. I was thinking 'who the hell is Kathy Beth Terry? Is she some new groundbreaking artist?' Lol obviously I didn't pay much attention to the video. I hated LFN until I saw the video, now it's so-so. Katy doesn't really do much for me, but I'm sure that EMI is loving her right now. She is on fire. When will the deluxe edition of TD come out. :-) Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Legs, I'm kind of confused as what to do with this article. I don't think it could be expanded enough to warrant its own article. Whats your opinion? Maybe a merge or delete? If merged, to which article? Thanks :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 21:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, it seems there really isn't any info at all about this release. Best bet is to merge the tracklist with Rainbows, since chronologically Rainbow is the parent album released in 2000, when this was released, right? — Legolas (talk2me) 04:43, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. Maybe merge to #1's? Well, Calvin already nominated it for deletion. I think that's best. It really is of no improtance and was just a deal with Wal-mart.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 13:53, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Whichever release of Mimi's was chronologically closest to this one, is the one where it should be merged. If its #1's, so be it. — Legolas (talk2me) 13:57, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- In reality, Rainbow. I guess then I'll merge it. Can you help? I'm not really sure how.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 14:07, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well you need to wait for the Afd to close, then merge. We cannot remove the tag, untill an admin closes it or Calvin999 withdraws the nom. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:29, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

- Lol, is this a joke, or he was serious?--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 14:42, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

- Wow, it sounded so stupid of him, that I thought it had to be a joke lol. People think so highly of him, that they sometimes forget he too was a regular person, with selfish and arrogant characteristics. I never liked him much, he's IMO overrated.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 14:48, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think of him as overrated much as a man with actually limited vision, after reading all the bios on him. Talk about re-hashing the same choreography for years and trying to hold on to laurels bestowed on him. — Legolas (talk2me) 14:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Micely said. At least Madonna evolved and re-invented herself several times! Oh well, it worked for him all the way to the bank lol--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 14:55, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well was he able to really enjoy all that cash? No, his last few years were really bad, with Vitiligo eating his skin, his family (even Trannet Jackson) turning away from him, the media hating him and his father trying to steal money at all cause. His is a story of a man who let go the hold of what could have been a tremendous empire. King of Pop or not, he just has himself to blame. — Legolas (talk2me) 15:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Nope, he wasn't. He honestly had one of the most F'ed up lives and careers out of all of them! Its pretty sad. BTW, on another note, what do you think I should do. Novice has been gone for like 12 days already, and I signed on to review Irresistible a while ago. Thing is I don't want to post the review, and then he isn't here to make the fixes :S--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 15:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed that, I actually had tried to find him on Facebook, but little boy is not there I guess. I hope everything is fine with him. As for the review, you can fail it, but post the comments and it will help him in the second nomination when he comes back. Anyways 12 days are up, so wait another two days to make it two weeks, so then you can post. — Legolas (talk2me) 15:13, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yup, I don't know where he went :( Are you friends with him of Facebook? I have one too :D I just tried finding you under Avinava and Avi bhaiya (yep I'm a stalker :P) but to no avail! BTW, have you ever heard of this? I tell you, tat J. Lo and Tommy, uch!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 15:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

- Yes sure, its F#m7-Bm-G/A-Bmaj7 in the verses, with the last bit changing into Gmaj7 for the bridge, so well, its not exactly a basic progression, lol. Btw, Nathan that Flickr image you are trying to incorporate might be a case of "Flickr Washing". Better you let an amdin like User:Martin H. check it before you upload it. — Legolas (talk2me) 10:23, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much :) What does that mean? Is the photo his own? Let me first have him change the license.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 17:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well he can change it, but don't upload it just now Nathan. Flickrwashing is a case when users change the metadata of a file and upload it to their name, even though they might not be the author of the file. That's a serious copyvio and hence I'm asking you to consult User:Martin. H for clarification. — Legolas (talk2me) 04:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
