Talk:Fight for This Love

X Factor performance
Is this actually important whether she performed it live or with a vocal backing track for the chori or pre-recorded it or whatever it was she did? I don't think it is. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It's important when there is a citation stating one thing, and then uncited comments are made that contradict it. The new reference is fine.  Thedarxide (talk) 14:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not talking about the reference, I'm saying do we even need to say it was performed live contrary to reports that it wasn't? The important thing is that she performed it, not that reports said she pre-recorded the performance. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:01, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh I think it IS relevant to state that she did not sing live, in this day and age a live performance has become a thing of the past, and for a show whose premise is to find a talent who can sing and has to sing live, for a judge on the show to come out and do a performance it is to be taken for granted that she's supposed to sing it live, to show her pupils what they should aspire to, and singing on a backing track is NOT what the show is about.

Also, whoever wrote that the Maxi Single is on cd should check their facts, the quotation from amazon is only relevant for the downloads, the cd is only a two-tracker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.55.205.114 (talk) 00:25, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

BRIT 2010
she sang the chorus live but mimed the verses and so fucking what ! everyone mimes now and again just ask beyonce or shakira or florence or britney! they go un notced so why suld people pick on cheryl for having nerves and she had plans to sing it all live just as it happens a day before the award ceremony her love rat husband was caught cheating AGAIN and i think we all need to show her consideration
 * I've removed this criticsm section from the article for a number of reasons. Firstly Yahoo! answers and The SUn forum are not reliable sources for anything. The Daily Mail source only said Cheryl APPEARED to be miming in a caption and there was no criticism of her miming. Furthermore this metro article: http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/music/813618-brit-awards-2010-jonathan-ross-in-top-5-worst-moments also states that JLS were miming, making the start of the section, 'while everyone else sung live' incorrect. Finally an ITV cameraman has posted that there was a transmission error, so she may not have been miming - http://twitter.com/cameramanjimitv/status/9242079024

M Bison?
I seem to remember there was a little bit of coverage that one of her costumes was compared to M. Bison (specifically, the one she has on during the first pre-chorus)? Is this true, or am I imagining it? Sceptre (talk) 23:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * no its true. I've added two credible sources to the promotion section so that it can be mentioned. Thanks for the heads up. Regards, Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Sampled from Bruce Hornsby - The Way It Is
I am honestly surprised that this fact wasn't displayed. The song CLEARLY has the same tune. Usually Wikipedia's really good with these things. I wonder if it says that on the original CD's. The sample was also used in Tupac's song "Changes" AWDRacer (talk) 09:12, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It most certainly is not true. I have the album booklet and nowhere does it mention sampling "The Way It Is". --  Lil_℧niquℇ №1 &#124;  talk2me  18:23, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. What do you think? It's too similar to be a coincidence. AWDRacer (talk) 20:08, 20 February 2011 (UTC)


 * My Sweet Lord it definitely isn't. Wythy (talk) 14:15, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Fight for This Love
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Fight for This Love's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "platinum": From Street Fighter:  From 3 Words:  From Sound of the Underground (song):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:55, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Janet Jackson influence
I've found a few additional sources which mention an influence from Janet Jackson in Cheryl's performance on The X-Factor, from Hello Magazine and The Daily Mail. There's also another article from Hello Magazine noting a "Janet Jackson-inspired routine" and an excerpt from the online Grazia website calling her outfit "second rate Janet Jackson." Although they don't mention "Rhythm Nation" itself, they do observe Janet to be an inspiration. Would these be suitable for the article? Regards, User5482 (talk) 08:27, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
 * you can use the GraziaDaily reference to add to the music video section and say that Cole's outfit was compared to a "second-rate Janet Jackson" outfit. That woud be fine.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  21:07, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * , in the promotion section can I also add "Media had favorably considered the performance inspired by and reminiscent of Janet Jackson" .. it uses Hello Magazine and Daily Mail as sources, the latter site used for another source within the article. Thanks for your help. User5482 (talk) 06:57, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * up you can use the daily mail source to add that the x factor peformance to be inspired by Janet Jackson. Saying "favourable considered doesn't make sense"  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  23:12, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
