Lead

 * 'Lyrically, the song finds Carey getting "her cry on with the connect-the-dots break-up track." She described old time she shared with her lover, and that even though "we said let go", and "inside she knows its over", she still "stays in love with him".' Ok, I'm completly lost here. I can't understand what you're trying to say.
 * I tried to clarify. Have a look please. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)


 * 'The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many considering it a strong ballad and a highlight from the album. Many reviewers complimented its production and piano-driven melody, while some criticized it for being too similar to Carey's previous song, "We Belong Together".' -> '"I Stay in Love" received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many considering the song a strong ballad and a highlight from the album, while complimenting its production and piano-driven melody, despite criticizing the similarities to Carey's previous single, "We Belong Together" (2005).' (I think it's better this way. If you don't agree, try to re-write the phrases, because I was completly lost the first time I read them.) ✅ Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Try to replace 'Carey' with 'the singer' and 'her' when appropriate. You repeated 'Carey' a lot.
 * I think Carey stands as a better usage. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Background

 * Ok, very good work, but I don't see how the beginning of the section relates to the song. This part has nothing to do with it: 'Throughout really 2004, Carey began conceptualizing and working on a new project, eventually titled The Emancipation of Mimi, her tenth studio effort. The album became the best-selling album in the United States of 2005, and the second best-seller around the world, with over 12 million units sold. It earned a myriad of music industry awards, and brought Carey back to the top of pop music following her decline in 2001.'
 * Thanks on behalf of Nathan. It actually pushed Carey to explore new things. She kind of bombed in the beginning of the 2000s. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Composition

 * Wikilink 'crescendo' as 'Dynamics (music)|crescendo'. ✅ Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, same issue as the lead. ✅ Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * If you feel the section is too small, merge it with the background. I think it would be better, but I want to know what you think too.
 * I have to disagree here. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Critical reception

 * "We Belong Together". -> "We Belong Together" (2005). ✅ Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:49, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * 'The Houston Chronicle described the single as a "gently grooving ballad that Janet Jackson should be recording" and wrote "It's the kind of gently grooving ballad that Janet Jackson should be recording instead of wasting her time on tired sex clichés. (It's doubtful, however, that Jackson could reach the notes Carey effortlessly hits at the end of the song.)"' -> 'The Houston Chronicle's writer Joey Guerra described the single as a "gently grooving ballad that Janet Jackson should be recording instead of wasting her time on tired sex clichés", while commenting, "It's doubtful, however, that Jackson could reach the notes Carey effortlessly hits at the end of the song".' ✅ Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:49, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Try to replace 'the song' with '"I Stay in Love"' or 'it' when appropriate.
 * I did this in the other section. However in a critical reception section, it is better to use the song's full name wherever possible. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:57, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Chart performance

 * 'Similarly, Entertainment Weekly's Michael Slezak described Carey's boots as "hot", and called the cinematography "gorgeous". He complimented several aspects of the video, writing "Mariah’s bod looks totally smokin’, even if her entire wardrobe should be donated to a charity benefiting teenage strumpets and/or truck-stop hookers. Also: That Wentworth Miller 2.0 ain’t hard on the eyes, either (in reference to the man who played her love interest in "We Belong Together")."' -> 'Entertainment Weekly writer Michael Slezak described Carey's boots as "hot", and considered the cinematography of the music video "gorgeous".

Critical response

 * 'Michael Slezak from Entertainment Weekly wrote that the song is "a slower, less addictive variation on "We Belong Together".[17] In separate reviews of the song, both David Balls and Nick Levine of Digital Spy compared the song to Carey's "We Belong Together",'. Michael Slezak also compared the song to We Belong Together, Glenn Gamboa also. Try to re-write this section, since various critics compared it to "We Belong Together".

Comments

 * I will continue this review later, Nathan. I have to sleep! :) - Saulo  Talk to Me 01:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sweet dreams. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 05:45, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Or a beautiful nightmare... Hey, I'll continue the review later today. :) - Saulo  Talk to Me 18:30, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You can have a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, either way do not wake up from it. Lol. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 18:45, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol, I love that song... Either way, I continued the review. - Saulo  Talk to Me 18:49, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It was the first article i promoted here. Even though it does not look great, i just love that article. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 18:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool! I think it looks great. I love this song since the demo leaked. By the way, the first article I promoted here was "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know". - Saulo  Talk to Me 20:45, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yours also looks great. I will give that song a listen. Jivesh 1205 (talk / Make sure you give 4 a try!!!) 08:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Important comments – There is nothing in the background that talks about "I Stay in Love" the song. Its just a bunch load of stuff about previous albums and singles. Remove altogether. A classic case of WP:UNDUE. The article cannot pass GA if such problems are kept. Sauloviegas, keep this in mind in your next GA reviews. Oh, and tracklistings needs time. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 12:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Removed undue stuff. Will add the duration of the tracks soon. Thanks for commenting Legolas. Novice7 (<b style="font-family:Arial; color:#B0C4DE;">talk</b>) 14:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I commented that they had nothing to do with the song, but I didn't know it was a case of WP:UNDUE! :) Thanks for commenting Legolas! Second look through soon... - Saulo  Talk to Me 17:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem Saulo, that way you learn also. Mags, I think those small two line sub-sections in Music Video appears to break flow of prose. It would be better to merge them if substantial content is not found. And also, the times of the tracklist are left. — <i style="color:blue;">Legolas</i> ( talk 2 me ) 19:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * All done! Take a look. Thanks Lego. <b style="white-space:nowrap; text-shadow:gray 5px 3px 1px; font-family:Arial; color:#4169E1;">Novice7</b> (<b style="font-family:Arial; color:#B0C4DE;">talk</b>) 06:41, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
