Lotus is expected to launch in NZ 16 November 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.56.108.94 (talk • contribs)

Thanks. This date has now been incorporated by another editor. I removed the link you added, by the way, per WP:ELNO, as it was a link to a commercial sales site. Begoon &thinsp; talk 21:21, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

"Songs" section
Does this really need to be in the article? Reading through it, it doesn't seem to add any encyclopedic value to the article, and it it remains, it needs to be rewritten. 68DANNY2 (talk) 22:26, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. An unencyclopedic mish-mash of various opinions and close rephrasing of other reviews. There's already a track listing. If nobody objects to the removal in a day or two, I'll just go ahead and remove the section, or you can. Thanks. Begoon &thinsp; talk  00:45, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit: actually - looking at it again. I took it out. Whatever it is, it was out of place there. Begoon &thinsp; talk 00:54, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

continued
And I removed it again after it was reinserted. I can see no encyclopedic value at all in this, sorry. Apologies to the user who says s(he) "worked so hard" to create it, maybe other editors will disagree with me and see some merit in it. I won't remove it again, that would be for others to decide - discussion should continue here if necessary.

Additionally, I think we need to remove all the heartfelt HTML comments that have been peppered throughout the source code. The unprofessional impression, and the confusion to the process of editing the content caused by all these hidden exhortations interspersed with real content is problematic, to say the least. Begoon &thinsp; talk 14:37, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

After a few minutes more looking at this, I'd propose to remove the whole series of edits by reverting to this version -, and then reinstating the adjustments to Single2 (that's all else there is at this point in time) - but I'd like some agreement here before doing that. There's a lot of other stuff that needs looking at, as the (removed) tagging indicated - but as a first step we should ensure it "gets no worse". Begoon &thinsp; talk 14:46, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The funny things is that, for example, in this GOOD ARTICLE "The Emancipation of Mimi", the section SONGS is there and it talks about every song on the album. I think you should reconsider my article, because I want to take credit when the article becomes a GOOD ARTICLE, so the SONGS sections is crucial for it. (FanofPopMusic (talk) 15:20, 18 November 2012 (UTC))


 * I don't think you understand. It's not the title of the section that's the problem. When I first saw the section I did a quick google search for the terms in it, and whilst I'm sure you haven't copy/pasted whole paragraphs there does seem to be a lot of close paraphrasing of other content from the web. But even that isn't the main problem.
 * The thing is, this is an encyclopedia, not a blog or a fan site, and the entire tone is wrong. We can't present a huge prosaic description of the album in a flowing collage of other people's opinions who we happen to agree with, synthesised into a sort of rolling commentary. It might be OK on an album sleeve, or in a coffee table book - but it's unencyclopedic. Really, this kind of content should be at Wikia, or on a blog somewhere, it's just not appropriate here.
 * If you can't see the difference between the section at The Emancipation of Mimi and the section you added here, then it's going to be very difficult for you to write appropriate encyclopedic content. They are as chalk and cheese. The section you have pointed to is, in fact, the kind of thing that would be fine here - factual, impartial, professional and pleasing to read. It doesn't try to take the reader on a frenzy of excitement about the subject, it offers facts for the reader to build his own opinion. It collects and presents all available information pleasingly, and attributes its sources factually. Your section reads as one long opinion with some references slotted in to show who the synthesised phrases were taken from. Utterly different style. Now that you've found it, though, The Emancipation of Mimi section could serve you as a good model for rewriting your section to something that would actually belong in a WP:GA.
 * As to leaving HTML comments throughout the code, asking people not to delete "your" bits - see WP:OWN, and the agreement you make every time you edit to release your text for others to alter. People don't own bits of articles.
 * Anyway, I've said more than enough here - I'm just one voice, and I only initially came here to look at an edit request - so I'll wait for others to comment. Begoon &thinsp; talk  15:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Disparate articles should not be compared to one another; each article has a different amount and kind of information available to it. In this case, unless a section on songs can be trimmed to a few short paragraphs, this shouldnt be included in the state that it's in. Phrases like "as Christina admits that she was born to sing." and "It's clear she's done wrong, but she's asking for forgiveness and wants to give things another go", seem like either copy/paste jobs or puffery.

Critical Reception
Why did the critical reception section change? It seems like before it included everything that everyone was saying about the album but now it's been edited down to make most reviews seem negative, when those were just parts of their overall positive reviews. Before, it showed all the different sides of what critics had to say. Why did it need to get changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shikaidou (talk • contribs) 04:32, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The "view history" tab above the article will lead you to this and consequently the answer to your question. BTW, what "negative"? It received mostly mixed reviews. Dan56 (talk) 06:28, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This section could do with a huge trim! &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  15:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I did, and then one of the article's main contributors reverted it; username: "FanOfPopMusic". Dubious (but positive) reviews from: 4music and Virgin Media, among others. Dan56 (talk) 16:37, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * According to Fanofpopmusic (diff), 4music, Virgin Media, Digital Spy, and HitFix are reputed review source (though they're not used by either Metacritic or AnyDecentMusic? aggregates, and their profiles hardly have anything to do with professional music journalism/criticism (WP:ALBUMS/CRITICAL) He also argues that the positive reviews should be presented ahead of the mixed reviews' prose because "basically" (as he stated in his edit summary), even though Metacritic and any other sources out there (perhaps Idolator too?) verify "generally mixed". This would be an open-and-shut deal, but high-profile female singers usually have this following of fans that gets frustratingly in the way of reflecting reliably published articles with a neutral point of view, pretty much the encyclopedic aim of Wikipedia (WP:STICKTOSOURCES, WP:FANCRUFT, etc.) The point is not to "balance" the section with the "positive" and give equal weight to minority views; no weight should be given to the aforementioned sources to begin with. I'm pretty annoyed at this point. Would any neutral parties care to comment? Dan56 (talk) 19:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Having the fact that the album received 60 average score on Metacritic I have to agree with Dan that that is mostly mixed to positive reviews or "generally positive reviews". It's good having some favorable and mixed reviews. — Tomíca (T2ME) 19:40, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Artwork
Can anybody really see the need for the Artwork section. Maybe a sentence or two comment somewhere, but do we need this list of quotes from different reviewers, presumably self selected by whoever added the content? Begoon &thinsp; talk 01:18, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with reception of the album artwork? Would you support removing reviews of the album as well, as they were also "self selected by whoever added the content"?  Statυs ( talk ) 03:31, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, as I said, it's probably worth a mention, but that is a huge amount of quoted comment concerning album artwork, in my opinion. There's practically no prose, just a load of selected quotes. If it had won some kind of award for it, or was a notable cover for some reason, then maybe the length could be justified.
 * In answer to the second part of your question, no - that seems to be a well balanced, well written section, to me, and I can't imagine an article on an album without an album review section. I can certainly imagine one without this artwork section as it stands now, though. So I don't really understand how you relate the 2 things in your question, sorry.
 * But it's all just my opinion - if that's what people feel should be there, then it should be there. Begoon &thinsp; talk  03:48, 23 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok - so I looked at it a while, and I'm probably being too strong.
 * Why not keep the first 2 sentences, then say something like: Critics gave positive reviews; and then pick the most notable 2 or 3, leaving the others as references to support that reviews were positive. At least that way it doesn't look like a list of praise only, and leaves room to comment on any other reviews, positive or otherwise. Begoon &thinsp; talk  04:26, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Genres
In the intro, where it says the other genres she explored (dance-pop, rock-tinged empowerment anthems, etc.) should someone add that Just a Fool is a country-inspired track as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shikaidou (talk • contribs) 01:11, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

My (less than) two cents, as a passer-by, for what it's worth. The article looks a lot better, since the recent work. The previous "Music and Lyrics" section was, indeed, a "mess", and disproportionate, as others have said. If brief, sentence, descriptions of each song can be added, with maybe a couple of supporting review comments, that would be cool, even make the "special" songs a couple of sentences, but really it would be much better if the kind of stuff that was referred to in the "Songs" section above didn't overtake the article again.

Orphaned references in Lotus (Christina Aguilera album)
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 Lotus (Christina Aguilera album)'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 "MC":<ul> <li>From Alex da Kid: </li> <li>From Burlesque: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: </li> <li>From Christina Aguilera discography: </li> <li>From CeeLo Green discography: </li> <li>From Hurt (Christina Aguilera song): </li> <li>From Mi Reflejo: </li> </ul>

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 ⚡ 06:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Genres
The review from AllMusic in the prose mentions that the album is a pop album. It doesn't mention soul or disco extensively.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  14:01, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree, "she's sticking with the belting soul ballads, hard disco, and pop that made her a star" just means that there are these genres in the album, not that they are main genres.Blueberry72 (talk) 14:06, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've removed disco and soul because the user who added them was a sockpuppet. Blueberry72 (talk) 09:29, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

, apparently every user who had added soul and disco in the infobox was a sockpuppet of MariaJaydHicky: it means that nobody wants those genres in the infobox except a single person who pretends to be a lot of people. Blueberry72 (talk) 22:29, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Electro-R&B
I added a source that calls Lotus electro-R&B. Has any one got any objections to it? 62.252.205.73 (talk) 03:40, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

main genre should be dance-pop
Labeling the album as pure pop as its main genre is inaccurate, the first half specifically is filled with dance songs and their respective sub-genres, the album has been referred as dance-pop several times (one example: https://www.redonline.co.uk/reviews/music-reviews/a511210/christina-aguilera-lotus-review/). I think labeling it as pop is inaccurate given multiple songs aren't even pop (such as cease fire or make the world move).
