• Note - Thanks for reviewing Calvin. A quick comment so you know ahead of time. I know the song was performed live on Top of the Pops, The Paul O'Grady Show and a UK concert of some sort, but I was unable to find references for any of these. For this reason a 'Live performances' section was not added.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 10:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

  It's so annoying we can't use youtube videos for references lol. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 12:54, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

  I know lol. I mean, a performance is a performance. All of them were lipped (badly lol) anyway.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 14:02, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

  Yeah they were lip-synced badly. However, at the very start of the performance on Paul O'Grady, whilst Mariah is behind those doors and just as the track staartes playing, she does hit two whistle notes, which were live. Little fact lol.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

• Info box

1. No issues.

• Lead info

1. "was released as the third international single from Carey's tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005)." → You might want to say along with Shake It Off as the A-side. I know you say this in the second paragraph, but I feel like it should be in the first.
   • This is the only one I have an issue with. While I agree its important to mention it in the beginning, it also goes hand in hand where I placed it, due to the fact that it was only in the UK and Ireland. See my point?--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 15:07, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
     • Yeah okay. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹
2. I don't think you need to say "Thursday and Friday". The wording of the days, then the month, then the dates, then the year is a bit of a mouthful.

• Background

1. No issues.

• Writing and recording

1. No issues.

• Composition

1. ""Get Your Number" is a mid-tempo song lasting three minutes and fifteen seconds, while drawing influence from pop and R&B music genres." → Is this apart of ref 9 in the next sentence?
2. Musicnotes here says it is 126 bpm?
3. "B3 to the high-note of A5" → *Takes a deep breath* haha.

• Reception - Critical reaction

1. "however, with criticism aimed at some of its lyrics, and Dupri's verses." → Hmm, re-word, doesn't flow.

• Reception - Commercial performance

1. "The Emancipation if Mimi" doesn't need to be wiki-linked again, and you don't need to add the date again either, like how you haven't in the Writing and recording section.
2. "Shake it Off" doesn't need to be wiki-linked again either, it has been mentioned multiple times before without it.

• Music video

1. "Shake it Off" doesn't need to be wiki-linked again.

   You haven't done it but I'll let it go.

• Formats and track listings

1. No issues.

• Credits and personnel

1. No issues.

• Charts

1. No issues.

• References

1. No issues.

• Great work. On Hold. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹
