General

• There are some dead/suspicious links.

  I removed the dead link.  — AARON • ^TALK 20:56, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Info

• Put Euro dance before synthpop
• Might as well remove the Certification parameter as it is blank and not used anymore.

Lead

• I think I'd write singer-songwriter instead of recording artist as you say 'recorded' a few words before, feels slightly repetitive. Usher bio says singer, songwriter too.
• "After their joined performance at the 2011 American Music Awards," → I don't understand what you are saying here, in context. Plus, it would be 'joint', as joined is more when you are physically attached to something. Like conjoined twins lol.
• You say electro-pop here, but the Info box says synthpop.
• "The song received generally positive acclaim from contemporary music critics with many of them praising its club-oriented production and labeling it as a potential single release." → Probably best to say that this was when the album was released and critics reviewed "Numb" as a part of the whole album, as this it is a single already now.
• "lying towards a woman in a hospital." → Not really sure about word choice here, 'lying toward'.

Background

• "In an 2009 interview with People Magazine, Usher, whose private life has been highly documented after filing for divorce from wife Tameka Foster, told that his sixth studio album will be" → In an interview for People Magazine in 2009, Usher, whose private life had been highly documented after he filed for divorce from wife Tameka Foster, revealed that his sixth studio album would be"
• "racy, risky and edgy, and sometimes about personal experiences." → Put the full stop after the quote.

Critical

• Ooooooh remove Lava Lizard. Trent used to work for That Grape Juice. Laza Lizard is self published, like That Grape Juice.

Music video

• "who all previously held the same positions for Usher's video for "Dive" (2012)." → ; all three reprised their roles for the video as they had previously worked together on Usher's video for "Dive" (2012).

Charts

• I'd put Hot Dance before Pop to alphabetise.

Release history

• Country column needs the shaded part.

References

• The BoomBox is not in italics in the Critical section but is here. (FN9)
• Time Inc was already linked in FN2 (FN16)
