"the soundtrack album to the film of the same name by two American recording artists Christina Aguilera and Cher"..... I don't think the "two" is needed
- Removed
"inspired by old-school musical style"..... "old-school" seems borderline POV, and I'm not too sure everyone would know what period of time this refers to. A certain time range (i.e. a decade) would be better here.
- Fixed
- Better, but should read "1920's", "1930's", and "1940's", rather than just "20s", "30s", "40s"

If comparing this soundtrack to Christina's previous works, how about some of Cher's?

- Very well Snuggums (talk • contributions) 16:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
The "respectively" at the end seems out of place
- Fixed
- Background
"In early-May 2010" → "In early May 2010"
- Done
"However, shortly afterwards, her management team revealed" → "However, her management team announced shortly afterwards"
- Fixed
"however it was never done"..... needs source, and would probably read better as "though the tour never happened" or "though the tour was later cancelled"
- There were no source for the 2011 reschedule, is it alright...?
- At least provide a source that states her tour never happened. If supported by ref 2, you can use that. I've placed a tag for now. Snuggums (talk • contributions) 10:03, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- How is it now? Simon (talk) 12:29, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- There we go :), now passing! Snuggums (talk • contributions) 17:51, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Daily Mail is not a reliable source
- Removed
"The film was met with mixed reviews from critics, who criticized it for being "campy and clichéd", yet praising Aguilera's acting debut"..... be consistent with tenses, they praised her acting debut
- Done
"Producer Tricky Stewart working with Aguilera on the soundtrack, stated that the collaboration on Burlesque soundtrack was 'a crazy opportunity different from anything [he]'ve ever done before'"..... something about this just doesn't read well
- Rephrased. How does it look now? Simon (talk) 02:02, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Much better Snuggums (talk • contributions) 16:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Composition
"old-school-influenced"..... as said before, "old-school" seems borderline POVsee point above"hit" in "previous hit" is POV- "lyrically speaks about sexual activities"..... which sexual activities are these?
Add "The" before "Two songs performed by Cher"
- Done all
- Promotion
"in early-November" → "in early November"- "from the movie was also made available"..... was also released
- Again, Daily Mail is not reliable
- "she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and performed 'Something's Got a Hold on Me'" → "she performed 'Something's Got a Hold on Me' on The Ellen DeGeneres Show"
- "Aguilera appeared at the American Music Awards of 2010 and perfored 'Express' on November 21, 2010" → "Aguilera performed 'Express' at the American Music Awards 2010
"the first song to made available from Burlesque"..... to be released
- Done all
- Critical response
Is Blogcritics really reliable?
- If being used for a GA then I think that it is okay
- Just checking Snuggums (talk • contributions) 16:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Try to expand this section with at least another paragraph's worth of reviews, and fill up that review box along the way
- Those reviews are all what I could find
- If you ever do find more, just add them Snuggums (talk • contributions) 16:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Track listing
The credits need to be sourced
- There is already the AllMusic source
- But that is being used to cite personnel, not the track listing Snuggums (talk • contributions) 16:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Replaced with the iTunes digital booklet. Simon (talk) 02:41, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- References
ref#43 (Mexican charts) is dead
- Replaced with Ultratop.be link, also a part of the Hung Medien system. Simon (talk) 02:12, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
