I'll be reviewing this article.-- N Ø  17:11, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Lead

 * The cover artwork used in this article seems to have more faded colors than the one on iTunes . I also suggest replacing it with a PNG file.
 * I don't quite know how to change the format of an uploaded file on Wikipedia. Any chance you could do that for me?


 * "Lena performed on a dark stage enhanced with rays of light" -- Just say "light rays" instead of "rays of light"


 * "the recording contradicted Lena's past good girl public image" -- "the recording strayed from Lena's past good girl public image" or "the recording was a departure from Lena's past good girl public image"


 * ""Taken by a Stranger" has been covered by acts such as German group The BossHoss in 2017" -- You really don't need to mention the year here
 * ✅ Removed

Background and release

 * "while Stefan Raab and Reinhard Schaub handled production" -- Add an "its" before "production"


 * "With a length of three minutes and 25 seconds" -- Per MOS:NUM, use all numbers or all words, but not both.. aka "three minutes and twenty-five seconds" or "3 minutes and 25 seconds".
 * ✅ I know that you should write out only numbers under 11, but I'll do it your way...

Composition and lyrical interpretation

 * with is instrumentation consisting of "weird, spooky and confusing sounds" -- You can take "sounds" out of the quote


 * "The woman leaves though the man wants a relationship" -- This would read better as "The man wants to pursue a relationship but the woman leaves"


 * "Abou-Dakn felt the mention of chairs and blindfolding in the song" -- Just say "he felt the mention..." because his full name is mentioned in the sentence right before.

Reception and accolades

 * This section would be better titled just "Reception" since it doesn't make mention of many accolades
 * Accolades are awards, which are definitely also part of this section. I think the section name should stay like that...


 * "Before the Eurovision contest, oddsmakers had Lena reaching the top ten." -- This sentence can be removed, it doesn't fit in this section


 * "At the 2011 1Live Krone Awards, "Taken by a Stranger" was nominated in the Best Single category." -- Since this award show doesn't have a Wikipedia page, I would suggest removing it from here per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. They're not notable awards
 * This award is notable and has a Wikipedia page in German: . It is "Germany's biggest Radio-Award".

Promotion and other usage

 * "Wolf Gresnz filmed it "in a hurry" in Berlin, Germany" -- "in a hurry" is completely useless in this sentence, remove it


 * ""Taken by a Stranger" was promoted by several live performances" -- Replace "by" with "with" or "through"

At Eurovision
Points awarded to Germany is just made up of two lines and doesn't need to be a separate subsection

Conclusion
The article is placed on hold and will be promoted if changes are made. Cheers!-- N Ø  17:11, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
