Infobox[edit]

To keep citations out of the infobox, list the recording information in the background.
The other, is Carey and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony gambling in a casino. --> "The other features Carey and...."

Background[edit]

I would put the quote that Carey made in a box, then merge the blockquote into a prose.

"backbone. --> "backbone."

Controversy[edit]

four new song --> four new songs
Alot of this information is about #1's rather than "Breakdown." Also almost all information near the end is about Greatest Hits (Mariah Carey album) which didn't even include the song.

Compostion[edit]

Link hip-hop and Contemporary R&B

Critical reception[edit]

I know you hae probalby searched all over, but making sure, could there be any expansion to the critical reception?

Chart performance[edit]

October 1997, however... ---> October 1997. However,
"My All"/"Breakdown"; however, --> Breakdown." However,

Music video[edit]

Just a suggestion, considering NFCC rules, is there a better scene with more involvement in which you could explain more? Also could their be just a little bit more explanation of the synopsis.

Formats & track listings[edit]

Good work! Fix the minor problems and I'll check back. Candy o32 21:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
