Wikipedia:Peer review/Bohemian Rhapsody/archive2
Review for "featured article" criteria.— miketm - Queen WikiProject - 00:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Great song. My comments on the article:
- In the intro: "world's biggest bands" = "world's most popular bands" ?
- The second paragraph of "Recording" mixes various tenses and is generally poorly worded.
- "...but declares that he "need[s] no sympathy" because nothing matters." I thought he says he needs no sympathy because he's "easy come, easy go". No?
- easy come, easy go is something that you say in order to describe someone who thinks that everything is easy to achieve, and who therefore does not worry about anything.
- I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
- Because I'm easy come, easy go
- A little high, little low
- Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

- I think that's different than "because nothing matters": he needs no sympathy because he doesn't care, not because nothing matters. Maybe I'm splitting hairs... -- bcasterline • talk 03:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Some explanation or context for the lyrical allusions in the Opera would be nice.
- "This was a very small sum compared to the multi-million dollar industry music videos have become" commentary seems out of place to me.
- The section "Promotional video" would benefit from some more inline citations, especially:
"It was created for the sole purpose of allowing the band to be on tour and appear "live" on the BBC's Top of the Pops."- Removed "sole" and added ref.— miketm - Queen WikiProject - 03:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- "The "Bohemian Rhapsody" video is often cited as "the first ever music promo video.""
- The section "Live performances" has a lot of awkward wording -- for example, the sentence beginning "During the Jazz and Live Killers tours..."
- I'm not a huge fan of lists of trivia, and I think most of that information can be added elsewhere. (The first point is especially interesting.)
- Otherwise looks pretty good. -- bcasterline • talk 02:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
