Nominator(s): Aoba47 (talk) 23:50, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone. The above list is on the songs recorded by Jennifer Love Hewitt. For those of you only familiar with Hewitt's acting career, she has also recorded songs for four studio albums and a compilation album as well as for other projects.

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets all of the requirements for a featured list. It is comprehensive in its content, and I have styled its structure after similar featured lists. I would greatly appreciate feedback and comments on how to improve this and improve lists in general. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 23:50, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ChrisTheDude[edit]

I'll come back with a proper review later, but one quick point - it is not usual practice to include in these lists songs on which the person in question merely did something minor like backing vocals and wasn't actually credited as either the main or featured artist. I would therefore remove "Toy Soldiers" and "Pleasure".... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:31, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have removed it from the table and the lead. Aoba47 (talk) 21:42, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisTheDude: Hello again. I was just curious if you had any updates for this? Aoba47 (talk) 04:32, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I completely forgot. I'll try and take a proper look later today..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Further comments from ChrisTheDude
  • Pedantically, she didn't record any songs for the compilation album if it consisted (as seems to be the case) entirely of already-released material. Might be better to say "American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt has recorded songs for four studio albums as well as a number of soundtracks and other projects."
  • Expand Killeen to "Killeen, Texas", as I doubt many people know where it is
  • "Two years later, Hewitt had recorded " => "Two years later, Hewitt recorded "
  • Might be worth merging the next two sentences together as they are both very short
  • Might be worth mentioning that her first album was credited to simply "Love Hewitt"
  • Don't need to say "(pictured)" in all the image captions, as the relevant people are obviously pictured
  • First image caption is missing a "
  • ....as is the third one
  • @ChrisTheDude: Thank you for the comments. I believe that I have addressed everything. Have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 16:21, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from BeatlesLedTV[edit]

Love to see yet another song list up for FLC. Here are some comments:

  • I think the alt text should be better than just "a photograph" (especially when it's the case for every single image)
  • I have revised the ALT text. Aoba47 (talk) 22:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In 2013, she did record" → "In 2013, she recorded"
  • Add a top heading to the table (many other FL song lists have this)
  • "(Our Love)..." should be sorted by "Our Love" and be put in the correct alphabetical order in the table
  • Unfortunately, I cannot get the formatting to work correctly, and I would greatly appreciate any help with it. I have tried to use the sort template, but it keeps pushing the title at the end of the list when I sort alphabetically. Aoba47 (talk) 03:51, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @PresN:@The Rambling Man: Apologies for the random ping, but I was wondering if either of you knew a way to address the above issue. When I was working on the list in my sandbox, I have tried to use the sort template as I have seen it in other lists. However, it just pushed the song title to the bottom alphabetically. I was obviously doing something wrong, but I cannot figure out what. I was wondering if either of you knew how to do the formatting correctly. I would imagine that this issue must have come up in at least one previous FLC. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 22:34, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Aoba47: Yep, done. The issue is that you have to include the quote marks in the sort template, because technically all the song names start with a ("), so Our Love needs to start with one too to not get sorted last (since O comes after "). --PresN 17:05, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for clarifying that for me and correcting it. I am not sure how missed that lol. Aoba47 (talk) 17:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN: Apologies for pinging you again, but I was wondering if you would have the time or interest to do the source review for this. I am only wondering as you did the source review for the FLC for the list of songs recorded by Alyssa Milano and this is a similar list (i.e. List of songs recorded by...). I completely understand if you would prefer not to. I am in no rush for this. I am trying to better about not rush FLCs and FACs and just let it go its own natural course. Either way, I hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Thank you again for your previous help with this. Aoba47 (talk) 20:36, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Album(s) → Release(s) (song are non-album singles)
  • I notice Hewitt doesn't have a writing credit for many of these. Maybe color code (in the writer col) the ones she's credited as co-writer?
  • I don't think the artist col is necessary since she's solo'd every song besides two. Maybe just put a break under the song title and put it there? I did that for Daft Punk's list.
  • Revised. Thank you for the suggestion. Aoba47 (talk) 04:05, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Make a note of the acoustic version of "Never a Day Goes By" (doesn't need to be in the table twice) (something like "An acoustic version of "Never a Day Goes By" also appears on Jennifer Love Hewitt")

Everything else looks good. Great job so far! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 23:39, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @BeatlesLedTV: Thank you for the comments. I believe that I have addressed everything. I am uncertain on how to fix the "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" listing. Hope you are having a wonderful start to your weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 04:05, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sorting issue has been fixed. Aoba47 (talk) 17:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Soaper1234[edit]

I can't see any major issues with this list. Overall, I think it would make a great featured list. My only comment is there are six instances of sea of blue ("When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link"). One example is in the opening paragraph ("the children's television series Kids Incorporated."). Once this is addressed, I will happily support this! Soaper1234 - talk 22:01, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Soaper1234: Thank you for the suggestion. I can sometimes get a little too link happy lol. I have removed the wikilinks for the television show and film genres as I am not sure if they are particularly helpful in this list. Aoba47 (talk) 22:16, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • As we all can! This looks better to me, so I'm happy to support this nomination. Soaper1234 - talk 12:45, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from MaranoFan[edit]

  • “Hewitt had recorded her first studio album Love Songs (1992), a collection of love songs” — Link to love songs
  • “Prior to the album's release, Hewitt released the stand-alone cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" earlier in 1992” — I do not believe the word “stand-alone” is necessary
  • I think it is necessary to avoid confusion and emphasize that the song was not released as part of Love Songs in any capacity. Aoba47 (talk) 14:22, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • “Despite finding commercial success with BareNaked, Hewitt has shifted away from music in 2004” — Clearly, the word “has” should be removed from this sentence
  • “During a 2009 interview, Hewitt's then-boyfriend Jamie Kennedy said she was writing a country song; he encouraged her to return to her music career. Despite Kennedy's statement, Hewitt has not recorded a country album” — This whole part shouldn’t be in this article if she didn’t actually record the song.
  • “In 2013, she recorded five songs for the television drama The Client List, in which starred as the lead character” — There’s a missing “she” before the word “starred”
  • “she also collaborated with Sophie B. Hawkins for a song for the comedy film Alpha Males Experiment” — I would replace the first “for” with “on” to avoid repetition
  • You’ll need to provide sources for the singles since liner notes for the parent albums do not cover single releases
  • Revised. Aoba47 (talk) 14:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good job with this list. I’d be glad to support once these are addressed.—NØ 11:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @MaranoFan: Thank you for the review. I believe that I have addressed everything. Have a great rest of your weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 14:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • One final thing, you should add verification codes for the liner notes (ASIN, EAN etc). ASIN codes are found on Amazon, and EAN codes can be found on eandata.com. I recently did it for all of the liner notes on this list if you want an example of how to use them.—NØ 15:12, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @MaranoFan: Added verification codes to everything. I had to use Discogs.com to get some of the codes though as Hewitt's releases are not as recent as Mendes' (given up to 10 to 15 years lol). Let me know if there is anything else. Thank you again for the help. Aoba47 (talk) 16:45, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support—NØ 17:56, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from A Thousand Doors[edit]

Resolved comments from A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:02, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments Looks good overall. These are my edits; please revert if you don't argee with them.
  • I initially thought that Music Speaks Louder Than Words was an Earth, Wind & Fire album, but having checked the album's article, I see that that's not the case. Perhaps it would therefore be worth describing it as "the 1990 compilation album", or similar.
  • "a collection of love songs". This seems a little redundant to me. The average reader is probably smart enough to realise that that's what an album called "Love Song" is going to be.
  • "pop star". I realise that you're quoting Rolling Stone here, but you can probably drop the quotation marks, as they almost look like scare quotes.
  • "Attracting further attention for her performance in the family drama Party of Five". I really wasn't sure what you meant by this. Are you saying that her earlier music career attracted further attention after she was in Party of Five, which then enabled her to release two new albums through Atlantic?
  • Revised. Atlantic signed Hewitt purely do to Party of Five and I do not believe it had anything to do with her earlier music. Let me know if it should be revised further though. Aoba47 (talk) 02:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do we know why she was dropped by Atlantic? Did one or more of the albums underperform?
  • Revised. She was removed from the label due to the album's poor commercial performance. Aoba47 (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "When I'm With You" and "When It Hurts" need to be above "When You Say Nothing at All".
  • Similarly, "You Make Me" moves above "You" when the table is sorted by name. Either "You" needs to be moved above "You Make Me" when the table first loads, or else "You Make Me" needs to be changed so that it stays put when the table is sorted.
  • That is odd. Thank you for pointing it out. I am uncertain on how to fix it. Apologize if it is obvious, but could you help with it? Aoba47 (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, my current open FLC is Radio Times's Most Powerful People. If you've got the time, I welcome any comments on it. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 01:48, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @A Thousand Doors: Thank you for the comments. I believe that I have addressed everything (except for one part that I am uncertain on how to fix). Please let me know if there is anything else that requires improvement. I will do a review for your FLC tomorrow (Sunday for me) if that is okay with you. Have a great rest of your weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 02:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Personally, I think the simplest solution would be just to swap round "You" and "You Make Me" (see here), but, if you'd prefer those two songs to be the other way round, let me know and I'll come up with a solution. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:02, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support One final comment from me: some of the double daggers have spaces in front of them, and some don't. All of the single daggers do, so the double daggers probably should as well. Otherwise, great work! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:19, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the support. I believe that I have addressed the spacing issue. Aoba47 (talk) 19:26, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
