Talk:Beautiful Girls (Sean Kingston song)

JoJo's version
I read somewhere JoJo's is the original version but her song never made it to her album so it was passed to Sean Kingston in a different version for him. Still isn't Jojo's the original? -24.92.43.153 15:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Line removed
I removed the following line from this article: The same week the song advanced from #23 to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making 17-year-old Kingston the first person born in the 1990s to top the chart. Kingston's Wikipedia entry lists him as being born in 1989. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackwarrior (talk • contribs) 05:13, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

'Crime' mentioned in song lyrics
Added details of charges brought at age 11, which may be the 'crime' referred to in song lyrics. Onemorepromethean 21:46, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

So Wrong
I'm rather disturbed by this song. I'm middle class white, 31, and I don't like the word suicidal being used to excess like this. I also don't like the self-promotion of criminal behaviour.

If this is what record companies can come up with, then DOWNLOAD PIRATE MUSIC! It is clear morality is not something the recording industry association has any interest in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.6.33 (talk) 20:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm disturbed for a different reason. Hearing this damned song over and over again, ad nasuem, could easily drive someone to suicide! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.164.186 (talk) 18:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Where is the substantiation for the Taranee Cook factoid? It was sung by a character in a French cartoon? More explanation and documentation is necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.51.168 (talk) 13:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

When my 3 yr old daughter starts singing "suicidal" it kinda pisses me off. I don't even know where she heard it, but it's so popular it could've been anywhere. It is a song aimed at an age group that has a higher suicide rate (Teens). Will it take a kid to include this song in a suicide note to get this junk off the air? Where's Tipper when you need her? Teens are probably more likely to kill themselves over a relationship like in this song than when listening to Ozzy or Judas Priest. This song might suggest to some to be suicidal when depressed over a relationship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.252.114 (talk) 03:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

How is the word "suicide" inappropriate for children? They show murder and child abuse in 90% of kids' shows and fairy tales anyway. And besides I attempted suicide at 8 and had suicidal thoughts at 6. Am I "inappropriate" now? 68.4.255.36 (talk) 20:24, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm the most conservative guy in the world and don't understand the problem with this song particularly and it's references to "suicide". I think references to drugs and sex are much worse than using the word "suicide" ... its not like the use of the word "suicide" drives people to kill themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.252.140.14 (talk) 20:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Anyone who kills themselves because Sean Kingston made it sound appropriate is an idiot. I think it is nearly impossible to promote suicide out of a religious / suicide bomber / kamikaze pilot context; no-one's gonna kill themselves because a song references feeling suicidal. I removed 'notoriously' from the first line, stating it 'notoriously' samples Ben E King, because that's a pretty loaded word. Earfetish1 18:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

The fact, that "Due to the lyrics containing references to suicide, the track has been removed from many radio playlists" only shows the, excuse me the expression, stupidity of American thinking. They censore anything disturbing out of everything public in such way that then they really need all the psychiatrists to help them express all the anger and despair that would normally go out if they were able to speak honestly and frankly to their friends about their problems instead of just smiling stupidly and saying "It's great! Everythings all right! You look good! I'm OK" all the time.

People from other countries often say that Czech people complain all the time about everything and when you ask them (us) how they are, you would hardly hear a possitive answer. But at least we don't have these problems so much. So take care and don't be afraid to swear often! It's good for your health! :-) Martin from Czech Republic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.228.235.12 (talk) 06:22, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Irish Radio
In Ireland the song has been banned in some radio stations because of the word suicidal being used so much. I will try and get a link for this. 89.100.184.159 18:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)Eoin89.100.184.159 18:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Notability of unofficial remixes?
as I understand it, unofficial remixes are not notable. this has been wikipedia's policy with reguards to the fan remixing scene in general. i'm not saying i disagree with that but if we follow the rules then unofficial remixes don't belong here. the parody and the JoJo cover is notable though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.252.140.14 (talk) 20:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Australian Version
For the past week in Australia the version they have been playing says "In Denail" instead of "suicidal". Before last week it was Suicidal, has anyone got any info on the change? How? Why? etc, is it every radion station in Oz? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.113.45 (talk) 00:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

first person born in the 90's
how was he born in the 90's if he is 18?? 81.129.241.132 18:39, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Citation on digital pitch correction?
"The song uses digital pitch correction technology on the vocals."

Anyone got a cited source for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.8.104.62 (talk) 06:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Change/censored lyrics
If this is of any interest, I just saw this video on E4 (+1) in the UK, about 7:30 am, and they are not censoring it at all, the word "suicidal" is left in. Fadsfaslkfhsdkfh (talk) 06:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Removal of lede info
User:AutisticAndrew, I think it's import to leave the short radio edit blurb and bit about the sampling of Ben E King's "Stand by Me" in the lede. If it's going to be removed, than a reason should be given. As per WP:MOS, while Edit Summaries aren't required, they do help others figure out the reason behind a change or nature of the edit.
