... that Leona Lewis' cover of "Run" was the inspiration behind "Don't Let Me Down"?

I think that a hook about the song's leak (and how her label was hacked) would be more interesting. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 16:23, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Leaks happen all the time though, there's nothing exceptionally interesting about this case. I think that the fact that JT was inspired by "Run" which resulted in "Don't Let Me Down" is more interesting. Lol. — AARON • ^TALK 16:34, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, but as it's sort of hinted at in the article, most leaks actually come from the record companies, producers, etc. In this case, they were hacked. Or...

ALT 1: ... that Justin Timberlake was inspired by Leona Lewis' cover of "Run" to create "Don't Let Me Down"? — Statυs (talk, contribs) 22:24, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

That is kinda the same. I wanted to keep it short and snappy, not too long-winded. — AARON • ^TALK 22:28, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Needs full review, preferably by someone familiar with music articles. Striking ALT1 as it is not really accurate: he wasn't the sole creator, as is implied here. (Adding Timberlake in some way might get more views, though, and Status has a point about the hack being a more effective hook than the current "inspiration".) I've done a copyedit and reduced the "one cite per sentence" to something more readable that still includes all necessary source citations. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

ALT2: ... that Leona Lewis became a victim of internet hacking when her song "Don't Let Me Down", a collaboration with Justin Timberlake, was leaked? — AARON • ^TALK 18:10, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Good to go with ALT2. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 18:47, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
