I have added I'm a Slave 4 U in the list of songs as you can clearly hear and see the song being performed in the preview. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Obliteration69 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings[edit]

Britney's official site released a statement with the ratings. Xwomanizerx (talk) 19:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Yvesnimmo (talk) 21:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gueststars[edit]

Is it worth noting that Mark Kanemura from SYTYCD gueststarred as a dancer in Slave 4 you and Me against the music? fritte (talk) 10:00, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I think we noted it when SYTYCD contestants guested as Jane Addams members in "Hairography". I've found a mention of it in TV Guide, so I'll add it to the article now. Frickative 10:45, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 02:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It has been too long since I have given back and done a GA review. So, on first glance and read-through, the article obviously is not eligible for quick-failing, so the full review is to come soon. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 02:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Full review[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

Article is done very well in a similar manner to all the other Glee episodes (in their multitude) that have reached GA status. This has been a quick review, but after a few reads and a check of accuracy, references, and images, it is obvious to me that this article meets all GA criteria. So, a quick pass for this excellently done article. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 03:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
There were two or three sentences that I would have not worded the way they are; however, they are mostly from stylistic choice and certainly nothing to worry about in a GAN.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
All statements and references check out
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Everything covered here that is appropriate
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
One image properly dolled-up with fair use rationale; two free licenses images, all captioned well.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Possibly useful article[edit]

Didn't know if anyone may be interested in using this article from the Daily Mail in the article. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 20:47, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that and already notified the actively involved user above on her talk page. Thanks! Yves (talk) 21:15, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Meant to get on this a few days ago, thanks for the reminder! Frickative 21:38, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

blame it on alcohol[edit]

In the episode Brittany says, "Next week I will perform a number by Ke$ha." In "blame it on alcohol" she does perform Tik Tok. Blame it on alcohol should be in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.162.185 (talk) 23:39, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? I don't understand. The episodes are months apart and the mention is mostly likely coincidental. Yves (talk) 00:05, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Sailing" by Christopher Cross[edit]

My season two part one DVD is not readily accessible, so I can't check the episode myself, but while the article's AOL-based reference 17 (http://blog.music.aol.com/2010/09/28/glee-britney-brittany-recap-season-2-episode-2/) certainly seems to indicate that "Sailing" was performed, at least in part, and the entire Wikipedia episode page (barring the changed infobox today) seems to assume there were seven songs (including "Sailing") rather than six, my memory of the episode is of a direct cut after Will utters the words "Christopher Cross", and nothing more about him or a song of his. Memory being unreliable, I looked around, and the Erica Futterman review (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/i-glee-i-playback-britney-spears-makes-for-mixed-results-20100929) quite specifically says there was only one non-Spears song, "The Only Exception", and another regular reviewer (Semingren, I think) also individually mentions the six songs, five Spears and one not.

At the moment, the various Wikipedia articles are in a similar state of disagreement: the Glee Cast discography, for example, lists six songs; the List of Glee songs (season 2) lists seven. If "Sailing" ended up on the cutting room floor (or was only in the fevered imagination of Amanda Hensel), then the Britney/Brittany article needs to be edited throughout to refer to six songs, not seven, and both "Sailing" and the Hensel reference need to be expunged. Just changing the info box is not sufficient. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:39, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked my DVD, and Will does sing "Sailing" briefly, when about to take Emma for a drive in his new Corvette: the Cross song comes on in the car, and he's singing along with it (much like "Piano Man" in "Dream On", only quite a bit shorter). It therefore does belong in the article and in the infobox; the reason it isn't in Glee Cast discography is because the song was not released as a single. With any luck, the article will now remain stable with the newly readded entry in the infobox. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:05, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
