Happy hardcore?
Should Aqua be considered Happy_hardcore?--x1987x 20:13, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Apart from a well-known unofficial Happy Hardcore mix of "Barbie Girl", no. They never made any tracks which fit the category. Hedley 20:36, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Aqua was mainly bubblegum eurodance. --Maitch 12:13, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Aquarius Singles
Could someone please fix the part concerning Aquarius? It talks about Freaky Friday as possible single, but no Bumble Bees nor We Belong To The Sea information is given.

Tarzan and Jane
There was question about a bonus track on Aquarium called, "Tarzan and Jane". But Tarzan and Jane was a single by another bubblegum pop Danish band called Toy-Box featuring vocalists Anila and Amir. Tarzan and Jane is on the CD: FanTastic. Toy-box wasn't as popular and FanTastic was released after Aquarium in 1999.
 * Don't know why this was moved to the talk page. The "Tarzan and Jane" similarity is already mentioned on Aquarium (album).

Questionable edit
Would someone in the know please check this diff? This editor made faulty edits to some of the Duran Duran articles I watch; I can't tell if it's mistaken or intentional. Thanks! &mdash; Catherine\talk 01:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Formation
There seems to be some wrong facts and some things that should be expanded on in the following text:


 * Although Aqua formed as a group called Joyspeed in 1994, their history together dates back to 1989, and the recording of the soundtrack for a little-known Danish film called Frække Frida. At the time René was working in Norway as a club DJ, and Søren and Claus were both starting out as producers. The three were brought in to make part of the soundtrack for the film, and after getting along well, decided that they wanted to work together again on a future project.

It says so that their history dates back to 1989 with the recording of the soundtrack for Frække Frida. If you click on the link it says that this film was released at the end of the 1980s. First of all the film was called Frække Frida og de frygtløse spioner and released in 1994 (IMDb). According to Aquarama it wasn't "the three" who were brought in. Søren and Claus won a contest and won the right to produce the soundtrack. Rene was then used as a singer on the soundtrack. My question is what happened in 1989. My guess is that it was the year that Søren and Claus met and started writing songs. It could be relevant how they met and where. When did they meet Rene? Was is during the recording of the soundtrack, which must have been around 1993.

I'm going to correct the facts for the Frække Frida movie, but I can't change the other thing due to lack of sources. --Maitch 17:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Dustin4528354
Dustin4528354 has been vandliazing the article with sections like Rene Dif's favorite video game and saying he likes playing video games with 50 Cent. Then, in the article where it describes Toy-Box's cartoonish videos and serious videos like Aqua, after the cartoony video copying was written, and the serious copying was written, Dustin4528354 put: Then again they have ones like the "sailor song" and "superstar" they are sweet! <3

It's good someone wants to help with Wikipedia, just don't put false facts, and help keep the article clean, and true.

??
"The success of the single was further proven when Aqua received a nomination for "Best Danish Dance Act", although the group wouldn't win." At what award ceremony?

Emo?

I never knew Aqua was emo.


 * ...it's not.

Female Vocals
The most distinctive thing about this band was the crazy, assumably studio-manipulated female voice. How surprising there's no mention of this, especially in the subdivision describing their style. Renfield 20:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't Cartoons be added to this section? Fjejsing 22:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Removal of image of Paul Benson
Image of Paul Benson was removed from the "Aqua the musical" section because the size of the image was disproportionate to the relevance to the main article. --Sivatma Maharaj 06:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Heh, a third album, they just interviewed one of them on tv who said "no new album". --IceHunter 16:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

4-Inch Subwoofer
Would people stop adding this rumour about their next album being called 4-Inch Subwoofer. It hasn't been confirmed by any official sources and the blog that people seems to be adding a source cannot pass as a reliable source. Wikipedia is not here to speculate. Please read Reliable sources for more information. --Maitch 14:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
There's been a large amount of "sneaky" vandalism to this article, it seems. For example, Joyspeed's formation year has been changed to 1989 from 1994, and "Cartoon Heroes"' chart position to #5 from #7. There's probably a lot more too. Esteffect (talk) 15:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of this was added by an anon user who I have now blocked, amongst it being declaring members dead, and so on. Their edits go back to October and reverting back to then would be difficult, so I suspect every version needs to be looked through. Esteffect (talk) 15:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Song in Movie Trailer "Bring it on"
Aqua's Happy boys and Girls is heard in the Movie trailer of "Bring it on". It is not part of the movie soundtrack... does anyone think this is relevant/important? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.252.88.157 (talk) 03:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
