i think this is wrong, this states that it won 3 academy awards!

Headings
Why bother having the empty headings? -- trolleymusic 13:31, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Plot section
This section needs to be trimmed; I don't think the plot for this (or any other) film needs describing in sixteen paragraphs. Extraordinary Machine 00:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, i think it's repetitive as it outlines the plot and then gives Carey's version of it - there's no need, those two outline could be merged into a paragraph using her quotes. KZF 17:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thought this was the sequel to Legend, but she sleeps with a guy on the first date. WAAY BETTER A++ WILL SELL TO AGAIN!

An anonymous editor actually removed the opening scene outline from the Plot section. Is there a way we can appropriate (pronounced ap-pro-pree-eight this time around)that opening scene in a shorter way to not make the Plot section too long? Any answers are appreciated. Thanks.

Removed a thing
this bit:

(as well as unintentionally?)

looked weird. KZF 17:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

For such a terrible film, someone certainly put a lot of effort into writing the plot - the plot section is ridiculously long and should be shortened.

Merging
I merged and corrected the grammar of the two paragraphs about the "Loverboy" song and music video. There was too much repetition. Seriously, do you really need to say "legion of professional semi-nude male dancers" twice?

Release Date?
The info box says it was released September 21, but the "Reception" section, it says that Carey said the film was released on September 11. Clarification? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.220.163 (talk) 18:17, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Glitter was supposed to be released on September 11th, 2001, but was postponed in the wake of the terrorist attacks that happened on that day. The soundtrack album was still released on that day and and as a result of that, the sales of the album struggled to reach it's chart peak at #7 in the USA alone and sales of the Loverboy single struggled to make it to #2, though it took Virgin Records to reduce the price to a mere $0.49 to push the sales of the single. Despite the sales struggle for the album, it reached RIAA platinum certification. The film was released 10 days later and flopped. Not only that, the main reason why it flopped was because it wasn't promoted very much by either 20th Century Fox or even by Columbia Pictures, who would later release the film on DVD after 20th Century Fox decided that they wanted nothing more to do with the film and sold their rights to Columbia Pictures, who still own the copyright of the movie to this day.

I hope that this answers your question. Frschoonover (talk) 13:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Glitter (film)
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 Glitter (film)'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 "respect": From Mariah Carey:  From Boy (I Need You):  From E=MC² (Mariah Carey album):  From Bye Bye (Mariah Carey song):  From Glitter (soundtrack):  

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 ⚡ 17:28, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

This article says that the screenplay was written by Jess Mariano. There was a line on Gilmore Girls that said that "Jess wrote the screenplay of Glitter", but the actual author was Kate Lanier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:C343:4800:71E7:150D:6835:B21A (talk) 06:48, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
