- There were no comments in two weeks so I closed it as per ]
Overall a well-written article, but I do have a few suggestions re the prose:
- "Clown" is an answer song that addresses comments rapper Eminem made about her in the media and on The Eminem Show (2002) track "Superman" → "Clown" is an answer song to the comments that rapper Eminem made about Carey in the media and on the 2022 track "Superman"
- Done
- and "The Night I Fell in Love" by the Pet Shop Boys → the Pet Shop Boys' "The Night I Feel in Love" to make it consistent
- Done
- Also consider adding release years to the said songs
- Added
- "Carey performed "Clown" in a circus-themed segment during the 2003–2004 Charmbracelet World Tour while two puppeteers controlled an Eminem look-alike on stage." → On the Charmbracelet World Tour, Carey performed... while...
- Done
- "while promoting the project" → promoting the album
- Done
- "It features background vocals by Carey and Trey Lorenz" → The song features
- Done
- I wouldn't cite the lyrics from the booklet (WP:NOTLYRICS) unless they were quoted and discussed by the scholarly sources/reviews
- I cut down on the lyrics
- "a worthy exception to the album's formula" any more context as to what "formula" means here?
- Added a note and changed "formula" to "theme"
- Not sure if "juxtaposed with" is the right wording... I'd just use "compared to"
- Done
- Rest of prose looks good! Kudos to the scholarly sources that you found :) Ippantekina (talk) 08:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC)]
