Hi! My review for "Blown Away" will start shortly. CyrockingSmiler (talk) 15:36, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Disambiguation: None found.
  • External: They are okay.

References

[edit]

The references are okay. But the link for Reference no. 1 is dead. Either remove it, or a find better source.

Prose

[edit]
Lead
  • "Underwood said that when she heard first the song, she already had ideas of a possible video for it, and wanted it to be a dark Wizard of Oz in 2012" A semi-colon would be better instead of a comma after "already had ideas of a possible video for it"
  • "It earned the singer" It earned "Underwood" would be better
Writing and composition
  • "...she started to work on her fourth studio album, then untitled." Which was should be inserted before then untitled
Critical response
  • "elevate this cinematic tune to an instant classic." [They further commented], "When the girl shuts herself in the storm cellar, leaving her alcoholic father passed out on the couch in the path of a twister, you can almost feel the wind."
  • "Chris Richards of The Washington Post gave the song a mixed review, deeming the lyrics as "gripping", but [negatively] comparing the instrumentation to the ones of Taylor Swift songs"
  • "Bobby Peacock of Rough Stock" If "Rough Stock" is a printed publication, it should be italicized. If not, then it's okay.
Chart performance
  • "Blown Away" also peaked at number 27 in Canada, and is Underwood's first song to chart in the United Kingdom, reaching number 155 [insert comma here] despite not having a proper release in the country
Accolades
  • Everything is alright.
Music video
  • "As her abusive father arrives, he asks if she needs help but she denies, gathering her things and leaving the room; however, as the *daughter stands up, he grabs her arm to make her stay, yet she pulls it away and leaves." This sentence seems odd. Try breaking it down into smaller ones.
  • "The singer revealed" Underwood said
  • "As the video continues, we see the daughter" the daughter is seen
  • "The daughter enters the house and stares her father" stares [at] her father
  • "alcoholic drink bottle" a bottle of alcohol would sound better
Live performances
  • The name of author is Amy Sciarretto. It has been misspelled in both the text and the link as "Sciaretto".
Charts and certifications
  • Everything seems fine.
  • The order of precedence has only one entry, so it is unnecessary to collapse the table.
