 * Fixed.
 * 3 Creative Commons images ok.

 * FFD'd.
 * What makes a reliable source? (currently cite #6)
 * Removed.
 * In "1976 – 1983", "medium-sized hits" - I'm not familair with this terminology. What constitutes a medium-sized hit?
 * Clarified. I also added a print source to verify the chart positions.
 * In "1984 – 1990", "the website also believed..." - this isn't clear. people believe, not websites.
 * Fixed.
 * In "Musical styles" (plural?), "Many music critics have often called her music to be "melodramatic," "formulaic," and "bombastic,"..." - the musicianguide.com reference is provided for this but none of those terms seem to be in that document.
 * A print review is also cited there. It seems to use those terms.
 * Conclusion
