Marina and the Diamonds
edit
- ... that singer Marina and the Diamonds (pictured) took up smoking in an unsuccessful attempt to get the voice of Brody Dalle from The Distillers?
- ALT1:... that Marina and the Diamonds (pictured) is not a band?
- ALT2:... that Marina and the Diamonds (pictured) estimates that 60% of people in her audiences are gay?

- Comment: Unsure whether first hook is too negative, as it documents a (rather odd) failure, but it's something she's joked about in interviews
Improved to Good Article status by The Almightey Drill (talk). Self-nominated at 23:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC).
I verified all three proposed hooks, and have a preference for the original hook (I don't feel that it is too negative). With 17641 characters the article is certainly long enough, and it achieved GA status on March 31. However, the Earwig tool is reporting 92% copyvio with this article. This article lists a date of Mar 9th 2016, and so is most likely simply regurgitating the content within the WP article, but I would like to hear from the article expander (or someone else) first. Care to comment? Thanks! Ruby 2010/2013 19:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
