GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

Poor grammar, eg. "The church young people wrote" or "Performing in church broadened Bailey Rae's musical horizons, and her love for making music was solidified after the church youth leader offered to lend her the money for her first guitar. In her mid-teens, she was highly influenced by Lenny Kravitz, and through him she discovered rock legends Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. ", etc. It needs a top-to-bottom copyedit; The lead does not summarize the article; please read WP:LEAD

MOS fails, eg. — instead of --; poor structure in "2009–2011: The Sea"; paragraphs are far too small; try to merge them together. For example, you can merge "University life" with "Childhood".

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

Please use the citation templates; bare urls should be converted into proper references.

How reliable are [1], [2] (which is a dead link), [3], [4] (also a dead link) and [5]? Citations needed.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Especially the "Others Awards and nominations" section; how notable are awards like "American Smooth Jazz Awards" or "Kickers Urban Music Award"? Where are the references? "Notes" (actually it is trivia; I don't think the reader must "note" anything) should be deleted. There is an "unencyclopedic" tag
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
"was named the number-one predicted breakthrough" etc
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
ok
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
ok
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Quick fail. Please read WP:GNGA; I recommend you to request a peer review; request this on WP:GOCE/REQ

"Falling" song[edit]

What is her involvement in the first track on Konnichiwa (Youmou & Ohana album)? The Amazon.jp website suggests it was written especially for Japan? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:12, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
