Talk:What Makes You Beautiful

Live performances
The way that the song was performed at Red or Black? is relevant to readers. See the FA "4 Minutes" for a good example of writing about live performances. —  Andrew s talk  22:40, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Going a little overboard?
This is an encycopedia article, not a news story or a magazine feature. Using pictures of other artists such as Pink and the Spice Girls to illustrate minor facts or points is a bit ridiculous. I mean, the song peaked at #4 behind three other artists. Why not have pictures of them as well? 66.26.95.207 (talk) 16:19, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 17 February 2012
One Direction released What Makes You Beautiful in America on February 14th and it's peak position on the charts is #9, as of February 16th, 2012. As it is still rising, this information will have to be updated soon.

Edit request on 22 February 2012
Under the "Music Video" section, I think the fact that the music video is #30 on the YouTube 100 is worth mentioning. Also, the video has 56, not 55 million views. You can see all this information on the YouTube video's page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJO3ROT-A4E&ob=av2e

Beats per minute
'i dont know where else to put this, but the tempo is actually 125. Not 120. I'm making a mashup of the songs and 120 is too slow. Page is protected so i can't fix it. someone please can you fix it? Love, a directioner <333333'''

Capital FM ban
According to this article "What Makes You Beautiful" was the first of their songs to be played by Capital FM following the station's unofficial boycott of their tracks as a result of the group's BRIT Awards gaffe. Worth adding somewhere, perhaps? Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:51, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Stupid minor "controversies" like things should not even mentioned. See Beyonce and Adele Adkins article they don't cite their minor controversies (Beyonce's "fake baby bump" and Adele's middle finger at the 2012 BRIT Awards) AdabowtheSecond (talk) 18:32, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

June 2012
I made three edits (two major) that regarded the chart performance section. The first one was removing the Spice Girls picture. User:AdabowtheSecond undid this the next day, saying "it gives info which isn't in the text". Exactly – you should never add trivial pictures in articles especially if it isn't even mentioned in the article. Second revision was cleaning up the chart performance text. I removed the sub-sections which weren't needed (it now looks much more professional), but also removed some unnecessary parts – Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information. User:Adabowthesecond also undid this. I have since reverted his edits, as IMO they were done without sound reason, but brought the issue here because I don't want to start an edit war. Per WP:OWN: "If you create or edit an article, others can make changes, and you can not prevent them from doing so. In addition, you should not undo their efforts without sound reason."

Praised for it's chord progression?
No. It was praised for having an easy-to-play riff, which lends itself to sing-a-longs. However, no-one said "Oh man, a I-IV-V progression, that's pure genius", and if they did, they'd be laughed out of the industry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.92.1.32 (talk) 01:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * In the critical reception section an editor did commend the chord progression, I have removed does look bit weird. AdabowtheSecond (talk) 22:39, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

uk sales
Its pointless having the sales figures listed under certification because unless it has been certified they should be under their own section listed sales? --Onlythetruthisappropriate (talk) 15:59, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
