Talk:Sky Ferreira

Discography section?

Why was all the information that was once in this section unceremoniously cut? While I would agree that it was taking up lots of space in the article, the commercial singles she issued, as well as her music videos, guest appearances and so forth, are no doubt relevant information. I suppose it might make more sense to include these in a separate article, but outright deleting them all makes little sense, especially given that relatively minor filmography (it's mostly composed of cameo roles or near-cameos -- though the article's text currently [humorously] refers to her Kaycee role as a "starring" role) has been allowed to remain intact.24.107.201.207 (talk) 02:30, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Personal Life

This section (which should be "Personal life", in accordance with capitalization in the other headers) is in serious need of editing and/or trimming down. Also, especially given the content of Sky's quotes contained within, it seems strange to devote ~90% of this section to her sexual assault.24.107.201.207 (talk) 05:43, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Photo of Sky

We really need a good photograph of her somewhere that isn't under copyright. Anybody have any? User:Cprice1000 User:Cprice1000 () 18:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Aeroplane

Someone needs to add the fact she's on Aeroplane's new album, on track 6, "Without Lies". Psilocybin (talk) 04:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

If you have a source, add it. The page isn't protected. Fixer23 (talk) 07:40, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Biographical Information

I'm not sure if it's a prank, but Ferreira was not born in North Carolina. She states in many interviews that she was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5. The first two are the most credible sources. All of these links are full of valuable information for an improved biographical section, if someone could do it.

Also, Ferreira's birthday is not in March. It is in July. Ferreira's personal networking pages have records of people sending her birthday wishes on the 8th of July. Thesablephoenix (talk) 06:51, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I learned how to edit, so I went ahead and fixed the falsified information to the best of my ability. Thesablephoenix (talk) 18:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

17?

Why there is no info or a single page for "17"? that was at least some promo single or something and have a music video, or at least name it on the bio — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.142.246.169 (talk) 03:01, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Because it failed on the charts and did not make any cultural impact.155.69.2.13 (talk) 13:04, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

So? P!nk demo didn't make any cultural impact and still is on her wikipedia page

Music Videos

There's missing the video for "17" and "Traces" on the information box about music videos

Genre

Her music is way, way too diverse to be labeled only as "indie pop" "synthpop" and "dance pop". "Sad Dream" and "Ghost" do not have a pop tempo, at all...they are definitely acoustic/folk. Sky has stated that her new album will consist of many "stripped down" "acoustic" songs. Her music is not even indie pop...in fact, "indie pop" shouldnt be on her genre list, as she is signed with Capitol, a mainstream record company, so her music isn't indie, its alternative to the other pop music currently being released, so it's alternative pop, not indie pop since its being released by a major record label.

How is her music "indie rock" when she is signed to a major label? This doesn't make since. It's ridiculous how often the label "indie" gets thrown around when she isn't even independent. Please change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.225.3 (talk) 22:27, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

WikiRedactor, I'm very happy and inspired to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:

• I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis for the Early life and career beginnings.

Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 08:36, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I added a bit more about her connection with Michael and the fact that she dropped out of high school, which I think gives a little more background about where her career started. If you'd like me to add anything else, I certainly will! Thanks again for your time! WikiRedactor (talk) 20:43, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks --Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
