7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

• Info box

1. Order of writers is different to that of the Lead.

• Lead info

1. No issues.

• Background

1. No issues.

• Composition

1. (Vocal range is wrong)
2. No other issues.

• Critical reception

1. "In his review of E=MC2" → You need a "²" here.
2. "it heavily to "Don't Forget About Us"" → Doesn't need to be wiki-linked again, it was linked in the Composition section.

• Chart performance

1. "the united Kingdom" → Need a capital 'U'
2. "select part of Europe" → "parts", not "part"
3. "in its third.[52]" → "In its third week" ?
4. "each country in charted" → think you mean 'it'.
5. " It debuted and peaked at number 70 in Germany, and debuted at number eighty-eight on the UK Singles Chart.[48][49] Six weeks later, on July 5, 2008, the song peaked at number thirty, due to the release of the song's music video.[50]" → 70 should be seventy, and I assume you are talking about the UK when you say it peaked at thirty?

• Music video - Background

1. No issues.

• Music video - Synopsis

1. No issues.

• Live performances

1. "Carey took to Europe to perform on several programs" → You only mention T4, so you should re-word the sentence to fit in with the United Kindgom, as you give two promo appearances for the UK.
2. "Tamara ones of" → ? Not sure this is mean't to be.
3. "one of which included a live rendition of "Bye Bye"." Where ? If you are talking about T4, when you should mention with T4 in the same sentence. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 21:25, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

   I know you're not going to like this, but its not dead. I don't know why it comes up like that. Click on the link in the article :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 23:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

   Why does it do that? Maybe it you remove it, then add it back in and format it again, it will trick the system lol. Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 23:41, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
