Hi! My review for "Blown Away" will start shortly. CyrockingSmiler (talk) 15:36, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Links

• Disambiguation: None found.
• External: They are okay.

References

The references are okay. But the link for Reference no. 1 is dead. Either remove it, or a find better source.

Prose

Lead

• "Underwood said that when she heard first the song, she already had ideas of a possible video for it, and wanted it to be a dark Wizard of Oz in 2012" A semi-colon would be better instead of a comma after "already had ideas of a possible video for it"
• "It earned the singer" It earned "Underwood" would be better

Writing and composition

• "...she started to work on her fourth studio album, then untitled." Which was should be inserted before then untitled

Critical response

• "elevate this cinematic tune to an instant classic." [They further commented], "When the girl shuts herself in the storm cellar, leaving her alcoholic father passed out on the couch in the path of a twister, you can almost feel the wind."
• "Chris Richards of The Washington Post gave the song a mixed review, deeming the lyrics as "gripping", but [negatively] comparing the instrumentation to the ones of Taylor Swift songs"
• "Bobby Peacock of Rough Stock" If "Rough Stock" is a printed publication, it should be italicized. If not, then it's okay.

Chart performance

• "Blown Away" also peaked at number 27 in Canada, and is Underwood's first song to chart in the United Kingdom, reaching number 155 [insert comma here] despite not having a proper release in the country

Accolades

• Everything is alright.

Music video

• "As her abusive father arrives, he asks if she needs help but she denies, gathering her things and leaving the room; however, as the *daughter stands up, he grabs her arm to make her stay, yet she pulls it away and leaves." This sentence seems odd. Try breaking it down into smaller ones.
• "The singer revealed" Underwood said
• "As the video continues, we see the daughter" the daughter is seen
• "The daughter enters the house and stares her father" stares [at] her father
• "alcoholic drink bottle" a bottle of alcohol would sound better

Live performances

• The name of author is Amy Sciarretto. It has been misspelled in both the text and the link as "Sciaretto".

Charts and certifications

• Everything seems fine.
• The order of precedence has only one entry, so it is unnecessary to collapse the table.
