After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put this article on-hold to allow time for changes. Most of the article is fine and ready for good article status. However, there are some minor issues that I addressed below keeping it away from good article status that involve the prose of the article. I will give a week for these mistakes to be fixed and/or defend any items below that you believe do not affect good article status. - Rp0211  (talk2me)  06:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Pass or Fail:


 * Lead
 * "The song experienced strong success in several international markets, becoming Carey's eighth chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100." - For clarity, make it "...in several international markets and also became Carey's..."
 * "...topping the charts in Ireland the UK for three weeks..." - Fix sentence grammar


 * Background
 * "In 1989, Carey was discovered by Tommy Mottola, CEO of Columbia Records, and was promptly signed to the label." - Needs a reference
 * "...four other tracks were written and produced by the former..." - Instead of former, put last name of producer
 * "...the only hold over from her debut." - Unclear terminology
 * "Emotions contained influences from mostly 1950's, 60's and 70's balladry and gospel, as well as her continued work of R&B and soul." - Needs a reference


 * Writing and recording
 * No issues


 * Composition and lyrical content
 * "I call it the 'Spirit of God'that dwells within me." - Put space in between "God" and "that"


 * Copyright lawsuits
 * "This case has been thrown out of court thee times." - Fix spelling of "three"


 * Reception
 * "On November 8, 2008, following the release of the "Hero" by the X Factor finalists, re-entering the chart at number 100." - It should be "it re-entered.."


 * Music videos and re-recordings
 * "Additionally, a music video was filmed and released for the 2008 version, featuring behind the scenes footage of the song's recording, as well as Carey's writing music in the studio." - Needs a source
 * Traditionally, we don't require sources for music video synopsis, as it is readily verifiable to everyone, and is not always sourced by a high quality reference. See other article to see what I mean.-- CallMe Nathan  &bull;  Talk2Me   19:38, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
