Gotta Be You (Sugababes song)

 * ... that "Gotta Be You", a track by English girl group Sugababes from their fourth studio album, is the first song by a British act to use the crunk genre?


 * Symbol question.svg This may be nit-picking but it's impossible to know every track of every act, even if we only consider those with record contracts. The article says the claim is sourced to one of the band anyway and the hook accepts this at face value. Secretlondon (talk) 01:54, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Secretlondon, I don't really understand. What seems to be the problem? Should I change "act" to "band"? Till I Go Home (talk) 06:29, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg No it's the claim that they are the first UK band ever to have played this genre. It's unprovable - and was just their claim anyway. You've turned their claim into truth in this hook. Secretlondon (talk) 07:25, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm should I write "...according to band member Keisha Buchanan, Sugababes are the first British band to use the crunk genre, present in their song "Gotta Be You"?" Or is that the same problem? Till I Go Home (talk) 08:52, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That's certainly better as we're not claiming that it's true anymore, we're saying that they say it's true. Secretlondon (talk) 15:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

* ... "that "Gotta Be You", a track by English girl group Sugababes from their fourth studio album, received numerous similarities by critics to "Try Again" by Aaliyah?" Till I Go Home (talk) 08:56, 29 May 2012 (UTC) Unnecessary apparently. Till I Go Home (talk) 13:37, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and long enough at the time of nomination. Article is completely supported by inline citations. Sound has fair use rationale.  Image has acceptable copyright tag.  Article reads as neutral enough to me. Plagiarism spot check here, here (long part is quoted in article) and here set off no alarm bells.  Hook is properly formatted.  He'll need a QPQ on the next one. Hook fact is not clearly stated in article but assuming the text is this: "is a crunk&B song that lasts for three minutes and 40 seconds.[4][5] Ben Hogwood of musicOMH described it as an "electric piece of club R&B". According to group member Keisha Buchanan, the Sugababes are the first British band to incorporate the American sound in their music" and the source supports this. --LauraHale (talk) 03:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
