Hi! My review for "Drive" will start shortly. Prism △ 23:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Links

Disambiguation: None, as usual!
External: You need to correct one link's address as it changes the sub-domain.

I'm not sure why it says that, because when I clicked on the link it pulled up the article and the URL didn't change. Would this be alright to leave as-is?
- Sure. Prism △ 20:54, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References

FN5 has Huffington Post typed out in italics, which is incorrect, as it isn't printed media.

Done

There is a problem with your references here; the authors should be typed out as (Last name, First name) per WP:CITE.

Done

Mstarz looks a bit unreliable, as does On the Red Carpet. Couldn't you possibly find more reliable sources? Just an example: 1 (this one may allow you to further elaborate on the lyrical theme)

I added in the MTV Buzzworthy article, although would it be alright to keep the others in because this more reliable link supports what they say? (I've also replaced the use of Mstarz when talking about the leak with another, seemingly more reliable source, although it doesn't look like the leak was talked about in as many "big" publications as I would think.)

FN10 could have Los Angeles Times wikilinked.

Done

I'm sure there's a better reference for Drive being performed in MTV Unplugged, in fact you could use Cite episode (wrong name possibly) for it. Wetpaint isn't reliable, I'm guessing.

Done

Prose

Lead

Looks good, but could you add 'contemporary' before music critics?

Done

Background and composition

The introduction about the album may be a problem in the future, considering you may want to make Bangerz a WP:GT. However, Lotus has one of those intros in every article and nobody asked to remove it, so there's no problem for now.

I've heard mixed things about this particular paragraph for Bangerz; some editors seem to think that it's better off only in the album article, although I think that it gives some background information that is important for setting up why the song exists in the first place.

The rest is fine, although I hope you can work on it a bit considering you get reliable sources.

I hope I've addressed your concerns with the fixes you've highlighted above; much of this section cited by Billboard, the liner notes, and (now) MTV.

Critical reception

"on the album"' she further commented that the song" – missing semi-colon

Done

"while also suggesting that its chorus was too similar to that of "Wrecking Ball"" – I don't think this interpretation is very accurate, he is probably just saying the chorus is missing the impact of that of Wrecking Ball.

Done

Live performances

Since I gave you the idea of having the Cite episode template, you can elaborate on how she was dressed during the performance, what she did, the lights, etc. I saw the special and there isn't a lot to talk about during that performance but surely something is. If there are sources, do the same for the MTV Unplugged performance please.

Done

Credits and personnel // Charts

Everything is alright.
