It appears that Yoko Ono's PR firm wrote this article. Never mind the blatant attempt to present herself as a gifted artist in her own right, there are also factual misrepresentations. First, Yoko did not contribute a lead vocal on the song The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill. She sang with the chorus (Paul, John, George and even Ringo) and she sang one line (6 words) by herself in the third verse, plus she doubled John on a line. The lead vocal on this song is clearly John Lennon. For Yoko to present this as "the only occasion in the entire Beatles catalog where a woman sings lead vocal" is simply absurd, not to mention embarrassing for her, as obvious self-promotion (to what end?). But the article travels further into the realm of sillyness by attempting to paint Ms. Ono as a serious musician. Please. Yoko Ono is a musician like Paris Hilton is a wit or Snooky is an actress. Yes, a bunch of her vomitous songs were remixed into successful dance tunes by very skilled artists; the kind that are very easy to hire when you have $200 million in the bank. The fact is that absent her relationship with John Lennon, Yoko Ono would have led a life as unknown as the guy who dries cars at the car wash. Why not be happy with the fact that you inherited all John's money and stick with the very good work you do towards advancing peace? Then we might take you seriously.208.236.9.10 (talk) 13:29, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, that's... not exactly what 'reviewing an article' means. We don't revise content based on how artistically worthy or not the subject may be. Shoebox2 talk 20:14, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
