Lead

 * Usually, if there is a translation (there is), we place it in the lead in bold next to the title, so readers know what it means right at the top. ✅ Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I would consider Knowles a singer-songwriter. She might be singer and a songwriter, meaning she occasionally writes some music in her songs, but a singer-songwriter is someone that writes and composes all of their own material, McCartney, Lennon, Carey, Dylan, Morissette etc. I highly doubt she does that. ✅ Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

 * hints of flamenco-pop as strong lyrics dominate the entire track _> flamenco has nothing to do with "strong lyrics" ✅ Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  13:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * hints of pop music for which Knowles is generally known -> A). You said she' known for her R&B B). She does nothing to the song to add pop.

 * From Walmart? -> This is not a high quality review. We need newspaper articles and magazines, not some employee from Walmart  Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  13:42, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry to butt in middle of the a review, but this song did not reach number-one on the Hot Latin Songs chart. It does not appear in any of the lists of number-one Latin Songs nor on Allmusic. In fact, it did not chart on the Latin Songs at at all. Instead, it reached number twenty-three on the Latin Pop Songs chart. Source. Magiciandude (talk) 04:56, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * But i have also sourced the chart position. Wait i will verify in Billboard archive. Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  07:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Jivesh, what Billboard says definitely overrules Walmart. Adabow (talk · contribs) 07:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed it. Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  12:09, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine now. I'm passing it.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   16:52, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
