Hi, I'll be conducting the review for this album. Wow, it's pretty long, so I hope there aren't many problems to solve ;P
Files
[edit]- All have fair use rationales. Perfect! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 06:23, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]- " Following an international tour of South America which began in 2004 and presentations in the United States, Ivy Queen partnered with co-founder of Perfect Image Records, José Guadalupe to form her own record label Filtro Musik and signed a distribution deal with Univision Music Group in 2005. She was previously signed to Guadalupe's independent label Perfect Image Records which was distributed by Universal Music Latino."- How is this relevant album? If it is, then you must explain it in the lead.
- The album was released on Univision Music Group and Filtro Musik.
- That is alright and I know that because I read the Background section, where it is pretty clear. But mention it in the lead too. You can use a sentence like "The album was released on Univision Music Group and Filtro Musik. The latter label was formed by ....blah blah blah ..." --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 03:49, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm, but that takes away from the concept. She spent her 2002-2004 career on Perfect Image where she released her first two commercially successful albums. Then forming her own record label due to the fact that she was tired with major record labels all is relevant to the background section. In my opinion. — DivaKnockouts 12:38, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

- " it failed to debut upon the Billboard 200" - "upon" vs "on"- I'd prefer the latter.
- Done
- "At the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2006 it was nominated for "Reggaetón Album of the Year" while at the Premio Lo Nuestro 2007 award ceremony, for "Urban Album of the Year"."- to "At the Billboard Latin Music Awards 2006 it was nominated for "Reggaetón Album of the Year", and for "Urban Album of the Year" at the Premio Lo Nuestro 2007 award ceremony"
- Done
- "The album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics who praised its lyrical content and musical production whilst some curiously noticed that Queen's 1998 debut duet with Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean "In The Zone" was missing from the track list. Critics also noted the few new tracks the albums had to offer though praised the selection of hits used."- Critical review praise should be moved before the awards/nominations text.
- Done
- "Critics also noted the few new tracks the albums had to offer though praised the selection of hits used."- This sentence seems to be missing something. I'd rewrite it entirely. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 06:23, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Background
[edit]- Made some changes myself.
- "(Beginning in 2001, Queen began appearing on other artists' reggaetón compilation albums) from which many of the songs originate"- "many of the songs" on which album (I assume Flashback) You should mention that.
- Done
- "This was her first tour in South America which began in 2004 and led into 2005.[6]"- The ref you used here does not mention or imply this. Also, it is obvious that this would be her first tour to begin in 2004 (and maybe lead into 2005) because she can't have multiple tours at the same time. You can use a sentence like "This was her first tour to span into two different years" or something like that.
- The source says "La puertorriqueña Ivy Queen se apoderará por primera vez de los escenarios ecuatorianos para interpretar éxitos como Papi te quiero y Tú no puedes." which translates to "Puerto Rican Ivy Queen seizes her first Ecuadorian concert to sing hits such as "Papi Te Quiero" and "Tu No Puedes"."
- Sorry, but how is that related to what I'm saying? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- I've tweaked it.
- Sorry, but how is that related to what I'm saying? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
- "she performed songs such as "Papi Te Quiero" and "Tu No Puedes" to promote both Diva and Real"- Your ref doesn't mention that "Real" was promoted through the tour.
- The source is actually a bit mixed up there. Diva: Platinum Edition is not her fourth album as implied in the source. It is the re-release of Diva. Real is her fourth album, at the time (June 2004) she was promoting that album.
- "This stemmed from Guadalupe parting ways with the other co-founder of Perfect Image Anthony Pérez who in turn would launch his own label The Roof Records."- Ref doesn't mention this. I'd remove this entirely!
- The reference states "Anthony Pérez and Jorge Guadalupe, founders and partners in Perfect Image Records, have parted ways and are launching their own labels".
- I am blind, never mind. I didn't read the heading... oops.. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Songs and Repertoire
[edit]- "Flashback is a "fusion of the past, present, and future, consisting of a totally contagious medley of the best hits and entrancing rhythms"."- This sounds too glorified. You should remove this and instead talk about how the album consists past hits and some new material.
- This is coming directly from the source. ฿
- I noticed the same line was present on the Amazon editorial review, and basically they write this stuff to sell the album. Also anything prominent mentioned in the lead (why it is a studio and compilation album) should make an appearance somewhere in the article as per WP:Lead.--WonderBoy1998 (talk) 06:15, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- If you look more closely, the Amazon editorial review is just copied from the source I'm using. The editorial review is suppose to be for Sentimiento but it covers her whole career like a biography. So, I doubt the editorial review was written by an editor for Amazon. And it being a studio and compilation album is in the Critical reception section, though not explicitly. — DivaKnockouts 16:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Well alright. How about paraphrasing the quote? Also, make sure that everything said in the lead is in the body, nothing should be missed. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Do you have any suggestions? xD — DivaKnockouts 12:23, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

- "Ivy Queen's interpolation of the lyrics tell a "story of a woman who looks back at a lover and wonders why she even loved the lout who abused her love"."- to- " ...... lyrics tell a story of a "woman who looks back at ......"
- Done

It was also one of the first songs Luny Tunes produced as a duo when Queen trusted their talent and gave them their first assignment". Also, be careful that in a list sentence with 3 objects, a comma always precedes the "and", in this case "Luny Tunes, Noriega, and DJ Nelson". It won't apply if their are more than 3 or less than 3.
- It already had the comma?

- Done
- ""En La Disco" ("In The Club"), originally from Escorpiones (2004) features an Arabic type beat infused with reggaetón."- I'm not feeling the words "Arabic type", also is the Allmusic reference given to listen to a sample?" It is perfectly fine if it is for listening to a sample, but I wanted you to know just in case there was some text there before as Allmusic has been facing the problem of displaced reviews and all that.
- Lol, well the sample is there if you want to listen to it, but if I remember correctly, there was a review there. I guess it has been displaced :/.
- What does "inflused" mean? :P --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 03:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

- No seriously you've put "Arabic-inflused beat" there and I've never seen a word like it --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 04:12, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oh man. xD I thought you were talking about something else. It's suppose to be "influenced". Hehe :) I don't know how I got "inflused" from "influenced" -.- — DivaKnockouts 16:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

It is perfectly fine if it is for listening to a sample, but I wanted you to know just in case there was some text there before as Allmusic has been facing the problem of displaced reviews and all that.
- The reference has "Rap" as the genre so I fixed reggae to hip hop. Rapping is implied if it is a rap song.

- Done
- All "angry lyrics" to "aggressive lyrics"
- "Angry" may or may not mean the same thing as "aggressive" in these instances.
- Then make it confrontational or something, because I'm really not feeling "angry" in terms of lyrics. Words like "aggresive", "defensive", "confessional", "confrontational..etc.... work better with lyrics than "sad" "angry" "happy" :\ --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 03:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Done
- I take it that the coverage order of the songs is in tune with the track sequence on the album?
- Yes, the coverage order of the songs matches the track sequence of the album.
- I personally think the coverage of this section was FANTASTIC! Superb work on this section! This reminded me of the article Love. Angel. Music. Baby --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 06:45, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
- Why, thank you! I really appreciate that. :) — DivaKnockouts 20:51, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Release and Promo
[edit]- ^ "Amazon.com: Reggaetón Queen: Ivy Queen: Music". Amazon. Amazon.com, Inc. Retrieved 2013-05-25.- This ref doesn't mention any release date, tracklist :\
- Yes? It does.
- Nothing for me.... Don't know if it location based or what.. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 03:11, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm, it could be. Where are you at again? I'll try to find the album in your region to cite it.
- Does it open for you? If so, then let it be. I'm at India currently and our Amazon site is pretty messed up. No one really buys records in India from online stores, so maybe they don't bother putting up any tracklist, especially of a foreign album. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 07:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it does open for me. Currently, no Ivy Queen albums are available in India on Amazon according to this. :/
- Not that anyone in India was going to buy them anyway :P --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

- "The former were released in September and December 2005 to radio respectively, while the latter was released to radio in February 2006."- Citation?
- These were released a radio singles (they were not released to digital outlets) so the release dates go by the week before they premiered in Billboard magazine. (Singles and albums released the Tuesday before each new magazine they will have had a week's worth of release.

Move Cristina after this.
- I tried to keep it by the order of events. The Christina Show appearance occurred before the 2006 Premios Juventud performance.
- It's fine now :) --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Retrieved 2013-06-20."- Lang parameter needed. Also, are you sure the ref mentions that they kissed? I don't understand Spanish and so Google Translate had to translate it for me, and it's very likely it misinterpreted the kissing part.
- Actually, the FW-66 doesn't support that they kissed, it only supports that DJ Urba was her boyfriend at the time. FN-65 supports they kissed. — DivaKnockouts 16:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oh! Okay! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 09:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Commercial performance
[edit]- "On the cover of the album, Queen appears in a "low-cut, cleavage-showing little black dress".[27] Similar to the cover for Real, the album's jacket is more sexually provocative. Overtly sexual, the viewer is looking directly into Queen's cleavage area. She is wearing various gold bracelets which cover up her right eye. The change in image for Queen is attributed to Universal Latino feeling that the album Real had crossover potential to U.S. mainstream audiences.[75] This is also attributed to Queen responding to the criticism she has received in the past for looking like a tomboy, wearing baggy pants and larger shirts, from the Puerto Rican press, middle class and members of the older generation,[75] a subject she Queen addresses in her autobiography, Detrás Del Glamour (Behind Glamour).[76][77] However, Queen takes responsibility for this change in image as she attributes it to a "new growth in person".[75] She confessed the makeover stemmed from a "crisis" and "female vanity".[27] Seeking to recontour her figure, Queen enlisted the help of a Colombian plastic surgeon.[27] Her breast were enhanced from an B cup to a C cup.[75] The album cover also features Queen's signature long nails which she sports in a variety of colors; in this case they are light blue and white.[78]"- Does this fit here? I suggest making an entirely new section for the cover or adding it into Promo.--WonderBoy1998 (talk) 03:30, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
- I changed the section a bit. Also, are you sure that "Her breast were enhanced from an B cup to a C cup in July 2004, during a promotional tour of the country" is really important? You can add "had her breasts augmented/enlarged" somewhere else. And doesn't the ref mention A cup to C cup? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 10:24, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- I've tweaked the sentence. And oh, yes it does! It doesn't matter though, I removed it :) — DivaKnockouts 12:29, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

You can't combine quotes, in case that's what you've done. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:12, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Fixed. For the record, I didn't do that xD. The editor who reviewed Diva (Ivy Queen album) for GA did. As you may tell, my English is not the well anyways. — DivaKnockouts 17:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oh I can surely see that :P --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:58, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
- Rest of the section is good. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:49, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Reception
[edit]- Just a general thing I noticed (which occurs in some previous sections too), is that some refs are archives that you need to pay/need an account to view, which I don't think is a good thing :/.
- That isn't prohibited, though. Right? I haven't seen any guideline against the use of these types of references.
- No they aren't prohibited. I was just saying.
- Made some changes myself.
- Well, the album is pretty old ;) — DivaKnockouts 18:15, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you. Can I say, you are the most involved reviewer I've ever met. You go the extra mile to help out with the article. Thank you so much.
- No problem! Thanks for the compliment! :) --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 05:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- "He noted that the CD/DVD edition features music videos for "Quiero Saber" and "Quiero Bailar."[1]"- This doesn't offer any piece of critical reception. Best to remove it.
- Well, he included it in his review, so obviously he thought it was interesting enough to mention it.
- Ya but it is not related to Critical Reception. He is not criticizing or appreciating that, he's just giving some info. Allmusic usually provides info about all this, they are not necessarily reviewing it. I don't see any point in including this here. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 06:50, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Removed. :) — DivaKnockouts 18:13, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

- " released by Queen during "Reggaetón's Golden Era" which lasted between 2003 until 2007."- comma before "which"
- Done
- "Ramiro Burr of Billboard stated that "Quiero Bailar" shows how effortlessly and quickly she alternately sings and raps, claiming that she has a distinct vocal style that evokes Gwen Stefani."- This review seems to be more inclined towards the single, and is reviewing it in respect of Diva. Can you find one that is more towards the album?
- If you notice, the top part is reviews of the album while the bottom part is reviews from the singles/songs which is generally accepted.
- Oohlright. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 06:50, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- " Queen ended up with three nominations wining two of them"- "wining" -> "winning", comma before "winning".
- "Among others nominated were "Rompe" by Daddy Yankee, "Dale Don Dale" by Don Omar, and "Rakata" by Wisin & Yandel.[111]"- Not needed.
Legacy
[edit]- Covers and all don't seem to be part of the Legacy of an album. Legacy (usually written as "Impact" in album articles, but "legacy" is fine too) best refer to the aftermath of the album- the effects it had on other artists (not covers), the effect on the genre, did it open new doors for other artists, record breaking and all that. See album articles like Dangerously in Love, L.A.M.B, Like a Virgin, True Blue (Madonna album) to see what it actually is about. If you can't find such information, then you can remove this section, not all albums leave an impact. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 05:55, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- I disagree with that entirely. Obviously, an album and its singles had to have an impact on somebody for them to the cover the song. — DivaKnockouts 12:29, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Kinda knew you would. But I've never seen covers in a legacy section before. It generally includes what I listed above..covers? Not so sure.... Also many singers cover even the most obscure songs. Doesnt necessarily give them a heavy word like "legacy" to hold. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 13:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Comparing a Beyoncé or Madonna album, two artists who are of high caliber to an album by Ivy Queen, an artist who is virtually unknown to people other than those who speak/understand Spanish is unfair and not accurate. It would be more accurate to compare Flashback to an album by Olga Tañon or even Selena. I've never heard of those albums by Madonna, what may have an impact on someone or something else may not have an impact on others. This is a reggaeton album. A genre which, at the time, was just getting popular within the United States and other nations. — DivaKnockouts 18:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- If you want you can have second opinion about this from another user. If they say it is fine, I have no problems. What I think is that "Legacy" is not an appropriate section to sum up the covers of the singles off the album. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 18:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Would a different heading work? — DivaKnockouts 18:36, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- A different heading would be perfect! :D --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 02:08, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

- "Coverage by different artists" maybe? By the way, why don't you just remove this section and all these covers can be included in the songs' individual articles? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 02:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- They already are. Removed :) — DivaKnockouts 02:57, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

- A different heading would be perfect! :D --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 02:08, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

- If you want you can have second opinion about this from another user. If they say it is fine, I have no problems. What I think is that "Legacy" is not an appropriate section to sum up the covers of the singles off the album. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 18:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Comparing a Beyoncé or Madonna album, two artists who are of high caliber to an album by Ivy Queen, an artist who is virtually unknown to people other than those who speak/understand Spanish is unfair and not accurate. It would be more accurate to compare Flashback to an album by Olga Tañon or even Selena. I've never heard of those albums by Madonna, what may have an impact on someone or something else may not have an impact on others. This is a reggaeton album. A genre which, at the time, was just getting popular within the United States and other nations. — DivaKnockouts 18:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Kinda knew you would. But I've never seen covers in a legacy section before. It generally includes what I listed above..covers? Not so sure.... Also many singers cover even the most obscure songs. Doesnt necessarily give them a heavy word like "legacy" to hold. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 13:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Track listings
[edit]- No problems.
Charts
[edit]- No such problems except this one-
Singles
[edit]- Why is Quiero Balar included as a single here when the infobox and lead mention only "Cuéntale", "Te He Querido, Te He Llorado", and "Libertad" as the singles? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 07:56, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- It was a single from Diva, but was included on this album. The term "Single" in this usage is quite ambiguous as in the table "Song" is used. — DivaKnockouts 18:10, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- It can be on the page for Diva I believe. Why not just let the singles off Flashback remain here? I think Quiero Balar should be removed. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 18:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Alright! Removed. :) — DivaKnockouts 18:30, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Sales and Certifications
[edit]- No problems.
