Talk:Angélique Kidjo

YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 05:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Should be corrected...
Some words require accented characters in this article but they were not used. When a word require an "é", it should NOT be replaced with an "e"

Should be added...
That she will be the opening act for Josh Groban on his Awake tour, and that he collaborated with her on the song Pearls for her new album?

Simpsons episode
I read this online. I would still love it if anyone can verify this. Thanks!

Unicef song
The link given for the UNICEF song on the Pampers site does not work and I cant find it at the Pampers site. Is the campaign over? This is the url to the UNICEF part of the Pampers site but I cant find Kidjo's song there. --ojs (talk) 14:40, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Place of birth
"Kidjo was born in Cotonou, Benin." If this is correct the infobox should not give her place of birth as Ouidah.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

NO MERGE
The proposition to merge this article with Batonga Foundation should be cancelled. Angelique's page needs order in concordance with stipulated Wikipedia style. This will reduce its advert style like appearance amongst others. Clairenova (talk) 00:56, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Early albums ?
The discography lists two early albums which are not mentioned in the article.

"Pretty" is listed on her official website - http://www.kidjo.com/discography-source/2018/1/23/pretty - but not "Ewa Ka Djo (Let's Dance)" -- Beardo (talk) 22:05, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Lede
I think there should be mention in the lede that she has won four Grammys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.156.246.252 (talk) 12:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Is this the longest Wikipedia article ?
Just asking DLord36 (talk) 00:50, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
