 * Remove the sentence for MTV, because it reviews the album, and not the single. — Tomica1111  &bull;  Question Existing?  21:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * To be honest, the section looks bad. There are too many quotes that should be reduced and turned into prose. If you can do that, please contact some c/e. — Tomica1111  &bull;  Question Existing?  21:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The song, the song, the song, the song ... it repeats a lot, use also "Lost in the World" — Tomica1111  &bull;  Question Existing?  21:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Now I also noted that for some references is not used cite web or cite news, please add to all of them ! Also ... Sometimes the work should be in italics (magazines, newspapers), but sometimes NOT (websites)! For that you should respectively choose where you should write your work/publisher. (For example work=Rolling Stones (its a magazine, it should be in italics)|publisher=Jann Wenner/ or/ publisher=MTV News. Viacom (cause its a website and italics is not needed). — Tomica1111  &bull;  Question Existing?  20:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

 * When I first looked on the article, I thought it was in good condition and will be easy with it. But on a second view, it really need a lot of work. I will put it on hold for 7 days, since its a small article and I really think you can handle all the issues in that period. Good luck — Tomica1111  &bull;  Question Existing?  21:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I believe I have addressed these issues, if not instruct me further. Bruce Campbell (talk) 19:55, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
