Talk:Baby Boy (Beyoncé song)

older entries

190.144.162.55 01:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC) I'd like you said the official name of the alternative version of the song, in which the song structure and Sean Paul's raps are left intact, while Beyoncé sings completely different lyrics, that was leaked to the Internet in 2003.

GAN

Hello guys. I've forwarded this article to GAN after improving. Thanks to those who created this and to those who helped this article before. Hope we'll make it. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 12:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Key

The article states, that the single is in E flat. However, listening to the song, I feel more compelled to say, that the song is in C minor. Or maybe some similar C key, like C dorian or C frygian. Anyone share this thought with me? Mulder1982 (talk) 22:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing but we can not change how much we're familiar with it as we depend only on the sources, the sheet music particularly. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 01:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I just changed it to C minor. The key signature can mean either Eb major or C minor. From listening to the song, it is obviously in C minor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.106.4.94 (talk) 07:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. But for non-music specialist like me, I referenced my edits to published articles or whatever. And besides, that either means that you're not one hundred percent sure and you only concludes because you felt its the correct key after listening to it. --Efe (talk) 07:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

GA on hold

• "It was written by Beyoncé, Scott Storch, Sean Paul, Robert Waller, and Jay-Z for Beyoncé's debut solo albu m, Dangerously in Love (2003). The track was produced by Knowles" - what are you referring to her as? Beyonce or Knowles? (Throughout the article...)

Y Sorry. Just an overlooked thing. I prefer her first name, like Madonna.

• "video features sexy footages." - we don't say "sexy" in an encyclopedia

 Question: Is sensual ok for you?

Yep. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 07:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

 Done --Efe (talk) 07:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Just "Paul" (as in, just surnames generally) except the first time, when you use his full name. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 07:38, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

His last name is Henriques. --Efe (talk) 07:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Y Done.

 Done --Efe (talk) 07:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

• is ShakingThrough.net a reliable reviewing source?

Y Ok. The source is not that notable. Anyway, that was just an opinion, not a fact.

Y Can't find. I'll browse over again. Maybe I can find.

• "most concert tours Beyoncé had" - had --> performed (or similar)

Y Done.

Y Fixed.

• "In the 2005 ASCAP Pop Music Awards, "Baby Boy" garnered the title as the "Most Performed Songs" of the year, along with "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl"" - reword this, since there was more than one song

Y Reworded.

Passing. Please consider helping out by reviewing another GA nomination :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 07:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll try. I have a fever now. Thanks for the review. =) --Efe (talk) 08:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Sean Paul is NOT A Rapper!

Why did the author say that Sean Paul is a rapper? He is a well-known dance hall and reggae artist.I'm changing it.--Princess Janay (talk) 23:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing. --Efe (talk) 01:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Now For Featured Article Status!!

Just joking. You guys did a great job trying to make this a Good Article. Glad you made it.--Princess Janay (talk) 15:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. We can make it. Just busy for "Deja Vu" and "Irreplaceble" now. But we can make it simultaneously. Can you help me? --Efe (talk) 00:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I would be glad to help!--Princess Janay (talk) 16:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh my. I am busy for Usher songs (five of them), gearing up for GA. One is already a good article. I'll be back for this soon. --Efe (talk) 08:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm here. Cleaning up, copy editing, adding content and images, etc. I'll pass this for PR. --Efe (talk) 07:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Image

Is there an image for use on the R&B and Soul Music Portal which is not a fair use image? SriMesh | talk 22:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, no. If there's any, I'll be happy to add them in the page. Currently, I'm looking for images. --Efe (talk) 00:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

There's one in the page; but its not that good. --Efe (talk) 00:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
