Hi, could someone please browse through the web for reliable sources about the composition? (Themes, styles, vocal ranges, etc.) Thanks! --

Discogs
Just as a note, I don't believe Discogs.com should be used as a source as all it's information is user-submitted, which would be against
WP:RS. This information should be removed before it passes it's GA review.

Well for now, the Allmusic credits will do. I squeezed the tidbits about her playing the instruments from the other sources, too bad I couldn't find sources for the organ and flute and stuff... This OK? --

Should be good. Sorry for the trouble on the discogs stuff. It's usually correct, but it doesn't make us look good when we use it. Allmusic is fine, but maybe use the Allrovi site as Allmusic will be moving to Allrovi soon anyways.

Names/Things without wikipedia pages should not be linked as they appear in red showing that there is no Wikipedia page for the name/thing. There are many names/things that are linked but have no WP page. These names/things are:
In the second paragraph of "Background and composition", this line: "inspiration for the song while reading Indian erotic literature on her balcony on a hot summer day." should be changed to " inspiration for the song while reading Indian erotic literature on her balcony on a hot summer's day.
Yes, you're right it could have been summer day but many readers might consider that wrong due to it usually being said "summer's day".

In the first paragraph of "Critical Reception", in this sentence, "He complimented "En haluu kuolla tänä yönä" as "a brilliant pop song, suitable to be sung by a [then-]27-year-old Jenni Vartiainen who is enjoying her life", this line, "by a [then-]27-year-old" needs to be changed to "by a then 27-year-old".
Not done Why I put the brackets is that "then" is not used in the actual source text. In other words, those are supposed to tell the reader that at the time the review was published, Vartiainen was 27 years old. Ie., brackets are used if the editor adds information inside the quote...or have I got that wrong? --

It could really go either way but it wouldn't really look sufficient in a reader's view. You can keep it with brackets but if you do that then you should erase the dash and put a space between "then" and "27".

In the second paragraph of 'Critical reception" the sentence, "MTV3 gave the song four and a half stars out of five, criticizing the inclusion of "Nettiin" for the sake of consistency and saying none of the songs is particularly catchy", needs to be fixed. It should not be "none of the songs is particularly catchy", it should say "none of the songs are particularly catchy".
Not done Ummm. My computer says no. None/No-one/No one is a singular pronoun, therefore the verb is in the third person. On the other hand, it can be either way, singular or plural, at least according to
Wiktionary. --

Yes, per Wiktionary it can be like this. But the colloquial use would be "are". Many readers might question the use of "is" and I anticipate they will edit the article and change it.

(Though writing are for now, I still strongly disagree, since neither of the words joined by the copular verb be (neither none nor catchy) is singular, and, therefore, the "either way" grammar rule doesn't apply, IMO. I'd suggest some sort of basic grammar should be adapted from pretigious sources to create an actual Wikipedia guideline, to avoid possible edit wars in cases like these where the grammar allows little to no variation. I admit, 'cos I'm not a native speaker of English, my grammar isn't always perfect, either.:) --

This line in the second paragraph of "Critical reception": "though it regarded many of the songs as "hypocritical" or even "tasteless" would be better as "though it regarded many of the songs as "hypocritical" and even "tasteless". That should be changed unless it was a direct quote.
This line in the second paragraph of "Critical reception": "Keskisuomalainen deemed the album worth four stars out of five", does not sound right. It should be "Keskisuomalainen gave the album four stars out of five. Alternatively, you can make it "deemed the album's rating as four stars out of five.
Done I chose the wording deemed the album's rating as four stars out of five. Ummm. according to
Wiktionary, deem seems (in some contexts) synonymous with consider (She deemed his efforts insufficient. = She considered his efforts insufficient.). So, does deem just sound awkward in this context? --

I am putting the review on hold so the nominator can assess the problems. Please fix these issues and then I'll continue on with the review. To make it easier for me, I would prefer that after you fix each issue, you put the "done" template ( Done) after it or the "not done" (Not done) template but explaining why you didn't make the change. Looking forward to finishing the review...
