Bidi Bidi Bom Bom

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I would like it to be a WP:GA article soon. I already fixed all concerns that were brought up in the first nomination of GAN. I also subsequently expanded the article with sources. Before [1] and now after.

Toolbox

  1. Check diambig links & fix.
  2. Check external links & fix.

Infobox

  1. De-link Texas. Already available at previously linked term: Corpus Christi, Texas.
  2. Genre: go for generality rather than be overly-specified. These can be expanded upon in the Composition section (or similar).
    1. Why is Selina described as a Tejano pop singer but the single does not have this genre?
    2. Why is Columbia Cumbia piped to Music of Columbia – why not just use Cumbia.
  3. Length: use {{Duration|m=MM|s=SS}}
  4. Format: Adjust [[12" Vinyl|12"]], [[Compact Cassette|Cassette]] > [[12-inch single]], [[cassette single]]
  5. A more reliable source is needed for the four writers of the song. The Lead re-iterates the claim. Background and production gives three references for the song's writers. The first is a wikilink (not reliable) which gives: Selena Quintanilla Perez/Pete Astudillo. Second and third are not checkable online. Credits and personnel section has A.B. and Astudillo but not Selena. The reference there, Barnes & Noble, does not support the claim. Meanwhile the song's registered writers according to American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) are Pedro Astudillo and Selena Quintanilla Perez. (see here). However A.B. Quintanilla III and Chris Pérez are not its registered writers. Infobox, Lead, Background and production, and Credits and personnel, sections all have to be consistent on this: it is a vital point on the single's article.
  6. A similar problem exists for the Producer(s). Infobox has A.B., Moore, and Abraham Jr. The Lead describes Moore as a family friend (relevance?) and the song's audio mixer (not same as Producer). Background has A.B., Abraham and Moore with the liner notes cited in the reference. Allmusic's credits for the album give A.B. and Bebu Silvetti (see here) as its Producers. Abraham is not listed. Moore is the engineer and mixer. B&N (cited at ref[34]) also give A.B. & Silvetti as the album's producers. Note that Silvetti is not mentioned in this article (or in the album's article).

Lead

  1. The Lead is too long with too many details for a summary of the major points in the article. The Lead needs considerable work to improve its clarity, expression and style.
  2. Check throughout the article: singles, songs and track names are styled as "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom".
  3. Check throughout the article: albums are styled as Amor Prohibido.
  4. Check throughout the article: tour names are styled as Entre A Mi Mundo Tour.

 Done Thanks for reviewing. For the writing credits, I went by the Selena Remembered and a Biography TV special had said. Her family said that her brother (who is the producer of her music) and Pete Astudillo (Pedro) mainly wrote the song. Selena wrote a draft and sung it in English when the lyrics were premature about a fish, but she did helped out with collaborative (minor) writing. Chris Perez, her husband, gave inspiration with the guitars. AJona1992 (talk) 13:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For any song's writers at least check with ASCAP to see if it agrees with what's written/said in other sources.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:27, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Good to see some trimming has occurred but problems remain in expression and style. Some examples, with my suggestions, follow: (Unless told otherwise maintain formatting and wikilinks.)

  1. is a song by Mexican-American Tejano pop singer Selena. > is a Tejano pop song by Mexican-American singer Selena. The song's style should be given in the Lead.
  2. Bidi Bidi Bom Bom was the second lead single released Once again, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", songs/singles/tracks have "Talking Marks" in their title. In this statement we have a disagreement between this article and that of the relevant album, Amor Prohibido, which has "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" as the third single. Also a lead single is only the first single and there's no second lead single. So "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was the second single released or "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was the third single released.
  3. Lead still has A.B. Quintanilla III as one of the song's writers, the ASCAP reference does not recognise his contribution on this song. It is a more reliable source for song writing than CD liner-notes, TV specials or articles in Wikipedia. You'll have to remove his name from the song's writers in this article.
  4. Lead still has Abraham Quintanilla Jr as one of the song's producers, you'll need a reliable source for this. As indicated earlier, he is not mentioned in Allmusic's or in Barnes & Noble's credits for the album.
  5. While it was produced by A.B., Abraham Quintanilla Jr and Bebu Silvetti, while Brain "Red" Moore, a family friend audio mixed the song. It was also arranged by Roger Emerson. > It was produced by [[A.B. Quintanilla|A.B. Quintanilla III]] – Selena's brother – and [[Bebu Silvetti]]. The song's mixer and arranger are not significant enough to be in the Lead (unless it was Selena herself). They can be described in the Background and production section and then listed in the Credits and personnel section.
  6. The song was released in the United States for the Tejano, rhythmic contemporary and Contemporary Latin radios. > The song was released on August 13, 1994 in the United States. It was picked up by Tejano, rhythmic contemporary and Contemporary Latin radio stations.
  7. ¶2: One of her signature songs? It was released in August 1994 and she died in March the following year. It seems difficult to believe that it was popularly associated with Selena while she was alive. In any case, a better ref is needed for this claim.
  8. I'm not sure what is meant by "an unplanned song". Is it a chaotic piece of work, an unexpectedly successful single or an incomplete song that was nevertheless released as a single against her wishes? This needs clarifying/modifying.
  9. It was first written as a draft by Selena, who subsequently sang the unfinished song during her Entre A Mi Mundo Tour (1992-93) > After its first draft by Selena, the unfinished song was performed on her Entre A Mi Mundo Tour during 1992 to 1993. Clarified.
  10. Originally entitled "Little Bidi Bubbles", "Little Bubbles" and "Swim Swim Swim!". Delete these from the Lead as not significant.
  11. Selena wanted to see her fans reactions before completion. > Selena had wanted to see her fans' reaction before completing it.
  12. After touring was over, the single was never produced, despite positive reactions from fans. > Despite the positive reaction of fans, the song was not recorded at that time. "never produced" is clearly wrong otherwise there would be no article.
  13. A.B., later turned it into a roots reggae song to convey other Hispanics who weren't equianted with her music. > It was modified to a roots reggae style to become accessible for Hispanics who were not acquainted with her music. I hope I've got the intended meaning here.
  14. After the singles release, it had won the award for "Most performed song of the year" at the 1996 Broadcast Music Incorporated Latin Awards. > It won the award for 'Most Performed Song of the Year' at the 1996 [[Broadcast Music, Inc.|Broadcast Music Incorporated]] Latin Awards. Changed format of award category and a wikilink.
  15. At the 1994 Tejano Music Awards, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was awarded "Song of the year", while at the 2010 Tejano Music Awards, the song was awarded "Best 1990s song". > At the 1994 Tejano Music Awards, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" won 'Song of the Year', while at the 2010 ceremony, it won 'Best 1990s Song'. Change to format of award categories.
  16. The phrase, reggae-inflected dance flare sounds, reads like a quote from a review but I don't see any similar statement elsewhere. If it is a quote it should be written as "reggae-inflected dance flare sounds" and must be cited in the main text (presumably in Critical reception).
  17. ¶3 Once again, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", songs/singles/tracks have "Talking Marks" in their title and are not in italics.
  18. number one > number-one When talking about chart position.
  19. the second-number-one consecutive single for Selena's fifth studio album > the second consecutive number-one single from Amor Prohibido
  20. The single failed to impact any music chart, globally. This is a rather broad claim, it may have charted on Latin music charts that are not widely reported. The phrase is repeated later but there is no reference for it.
  21. A few music critics from Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Cuba, and Ecuador had complained about the songs chart performance in their countries. > Music critics from Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Cuba, and Ecuador complained about its lack of chart success in their countries.
  22. How do tours of Mexico/United States qualify as world concerts? This needs modification.
  23. on all Spanish-language television channels > on the major Spanish-language television channels There maybe some which didn't get/show the video.
  24. with the most notable example being by Alejandra Guzmán, Who said it was the most notable example? This also needs a good ref or should be modified/deleted.
  25. Consider the context of Guzmán's performance as a homage to Selena during the ... tribute concert. An extra sentence earlier in the Lead is needed to inform a casual reader about Selena's death and so will make the context of this statement more relevant. (A homage / tribute to a living singer has a different context to one who has died recently).
  • Does The Lead act as a summary of the rest of the article? Is each claim made in the Lead verified in one of the sections below?

Background and production

  1. "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", one of the first songs composed for Selena's fifth studio album Amor Prohibido (1994), was one of Selena's signature songs.[1] Can't use wikipedia as a reliable source. Note: Amor Prohibido is an album title and is italicised. I've already mentioned a problem with calling "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" one of her signature songs: more on this later.
  2. Song writing and record producing claims not supported by reliable sources (see above). Avoid and main song producer, if talking about writing/composing songs.
  3. When using an album's liner notes use the Template:Cite album-notes form. Note: EMI Records is not italicised.
  4. It was also arranged by > It was arranged by. Ref needed for Roger Emerson & he should be in Credits and personnel.
  5. Who is her father? At Abraham Quintanilla Jr's first appearance in the main text his relationship to Selena should be established for casual readers. While on this sentence, when was it recorded: give month and year if known.
  6. ¶2 Before the albums Selena Live! (1993) and Amor Prohibido were released, Selena and her band Los Dinos would occasionally cover popular songs, during their tours.[4] > Selena and her band Los Dinos would occasionally cover popular songs, during their tours.[4] Once again find a more reliable source or fix the reference so it does not use wikipedia as its source.
  7. concert for the Entre A Mi Mundo Tour (1992-93), Selena decided to sing a song she had recently wrote[3], while on her tour bus Big Bertha.[4] > concert on the Entre A Mi Mundo Tour (1992 to 1993) in support of her previous album, Entre A Mi Mundo, Selena decided to sing a song which she had recently written[3], while on her tour bus, 'Big Bertha'.[4] Delink: Entre A Mi Mundo Tour, tour bus name not italicised. Can't check ref[3] or [4].
  8. The song was about a fish living in the ocean, swimming freely. > Initially, the song described a fish swimming freely in the ocean.
  9. It was dubbed as "Little Bidi Bubbles", "Little Bubbles" and "Swim Swim Swim!", which was a roots reggae mixed with cumbia song.[4][2] > Originally dubbed "Little Bidi Bubbles", then "Little Bubbles" and "Swim Swim Swim!", it was a roots reggae song mixed with cumbia music.[2][4] Note: change the ref order too. Refs are either not checkable or unreliable.
  10. The song was used at sound check in the band's rehearsals, multiple times. > The song was used for sound checks at the band's rehearsals.
  11. Initially, Selena wanted to witness the reactions from her fans of the song, before completing it.[3] > Selena had wanted to witness her fans' reactions to the song, before completing it.[3] Not checkable.
  12. After the concert, the song was never produced, despite her fans positive reactions towards the song.[4] > After the tour, this version of the song was not recorded, despite her fans' positive reactions.[4] Not checkable.
  13. While gathering inspiration to release an exotic progressive album to help expand Selena's fan base, A.B., decided to finish off "Little Bidi Bubbles".[4] Why is it exotic? Progressive music is a collective term for various genres, this phrase needs to be specified & wikilinked appropriately. Once again, ASCAP does not acknowledge A.B. as one of the song's writers. Here he is described as taking one of Selena's unfinished songs and significantly altering it. The contribution by Astudillo is not given due prominance (ASCAP has him as co-writer) compared with A.B. or Perez (by the way, full name and wikilink on first mention below the Lead). Refs not checkable.
  14. In early 1994, the lyrics to the song was completed.[4] > In early 1994, the lyrics were completed.[4] Not checkable. Whoa! We had the song recorded in 1993 (see infobox), we had the song written by Selena and performed on tour. ¶1 has the song recorded in her father's studio. Which is correct? Refs not checkable.
  15. scared and nervous? Seems extreme.
  16. the mixed compositions had never been done before for a Tejano artist never been done before? Another broad claim. Refs not checkable.
  17. He also commented that EMI Records were having a hard time with picking a song to be the first lead single off the album.[2] > EMI Records had a difficult time picking the lead single for the album.[2] Refs not checkable.
  18. Where does "Donde Quiera Que Estés" fit in her chronology? Is it from this album?
  19. Selena and the record company had both wanted "Amor Prohibido" as the first single, whereas A.B., wanted Bidi Bidi Bom Bom and had tried convincing both his sister and EMI, but failed to do so.[2] > Selena and EMI wanted "Amor Prohibido" as the first single, whereas A.B., wanted "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and unsuccessfully tried to convince his sister and EMI.[2] Keep wikilinks but fix "Single Title". Not checkable.
  20. Selena had done takes for "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in Q-Productions' Q-Zone Records and Moore's recording studio in San Antonio, Texas.[4] Which studio? Zebra Room, Leopard Lounge or Grey Fox Room? Don't wikilink Q-Zone Records (previously linked as Q-Productions). Not checkable.
  21. All direct quotes must have a reliable source. The lyrics and their relevance is probably better described in the next section?

Composition and lyric content

  1. The quoted lyrics (thankfully only 2 or 3 lines), with a reliable citation, should be in this section. Also include appropriate discussion of any quoted part. Without proper citation and discussion the lyrics should not be included in the article.
  2. Description of sound file: "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was a song that was originally not planned for Selena's album Amor Prohibido.[1] > "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" was not originally planned for Selena's album Amor Prohibido.[1] Ref cites wikipedia article: not reliable.
  3. Description of sound file: As it joined the album, it later peaked #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. > It was included on the album, and later peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. Note: There is a non-breakable space between No. and 1 (don't use # for number); Billboard is a magazine and is italicised, Hot Latin Tracks is not.
  4. "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is a mid-tempo[4] roots reggae[5] mixed with Colombia Cumbia[4] song, drawing influences from Rock fusion[3], Latin rock[6] and Caribbean reggae genres.[2] > "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is a mid-tempo[4] roots reggae[5] song mixed with Colombia Cumbia[4] music, which draws influences from Rock fusion[3], Latin rock[6] and Caribbean reggae genres.[2] The only ref that I can check is [6]: it supports Latin rock (on page 2). Furthermore it gives the song's writers as only Selena and Astudillo: no mention of A.B. (on page 1 or 2). Emerson is the arranger of the Choral version. The ref's cite plate has to be fixed to remove A.B. as the second author and Astudillo (full name wikilinked) in to replace him.
  5. I don't know enough of music notation to fully verify the accuracy of the descriptions given.
  6. the remixed version off of Dreaming of You > the remixed version from Dreaming of You By the way, this is the first mention of a remix version or Dreaming of You. Details of the production of this remix version should be in the previous section.
  7. Can't see where ref[7] gives A.B. as the song writer: remove him from the authors.
  8. ¶2 There is no reference for this whole paragraph, any such interpretation of the lyrics requires a reliable source or it becomes original research.

Live performances

  1. First performance of which version?
  2. the song was becoming a hit in the island > the song was becoming popular on the island Ref[8] not reliable.
  3. On February 27, 1994, Selena was booked to perform at the Houston Astrodome in Houston, Texas.[8] She wore a purple swimsuit, which she was buried in. Selena sang "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" that night.[8] > In February, Selena performed it at the Houston Astrodome and wore a purple swimsuit – she was later buried in the same suit. Trimmed and combined three sentences. Note: her death has not been described in this article. Ref[8] not reliable.
  4. During the "Noche De Carnaval" concert in Miami, Florida, Selena wore a black see-through bustier, black mini-skirt with black knee-high boots.[4] She had sang most of the songs in Amor Prohibido with the exception of "Ya No". > During the Noche De Carnaval concert in Miami, Florida[4], she sang most of the tracks from Amor Prohibido with the exception of "Ya No". Trim, in this case what she wore is not important to the song. Note: concert name does not have "talking marks". Can't check Ref[4].
  5. During Selena's half-hour spot on the Johnny Canales Show in mid-1994, Selena wore one of her original deigns from Selena Etc. > In mid-1994, Selena had a half-hour spot on the Johnny Canales Show (see Johnny Canales), she wore one of her original deigns from her clothing store, Selena Etc. TV show is italicised the person is not. What she wears is given context here. Can't check Ref[4].
  6. Similar to the "Noche De Carnaval" concert, Selena didn't sing "Ya No", while also not including "Fotos y Recuerdos" in the set list.[4] Her final performance was on March 14, 1995 during her concert Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, which attracted over 100,000 fans.[9] Selena also performed the song live on Cristina Saralegui's show El Show De Cristina on July 26, 1994.[4] > Selena performed "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" live on Cristina Saralegui's show El Show De Cristina in July.[4] Her final live performance was on March 14, 1995 at the Calle Ocho Festival in Miami, which attracted over 100,000 fans.[9] Can't check ref[9].
  7. Selena promoted the song during three world concerts including, Entre A Mi Mundo Tour (1992-93), Selena Live! Tour (1993-94), and the Amor Prohibido Tour (1994-95). > Selena promoted the song during three concert tours, Entre A Mi Mundo Tour (1992-93), Selena Live! Tour (1993-94), and the Amor Prohibido Tour (1994-95). Don't wikilink first tour (album should be linked previously). There's no ref for these tours nor for her performing the song in the setlist on all three. I've removed the word 'world' for these concerts as there is no basis for calling a tour of Mexico, southern US and Puerto Rico as a world tour.

Critical reception

  1. The article is not about Harold Augenbraum, there's no need for his photo here. His review, if appropriately cited, can remain.

  4. Kristine Helen Burns stated that "No Me Queda Mas" and "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" helped Selena peak in her fan base in 1995, in her book "Women and music in America since 1900".[11] > Kristine Helen Burns, in her book, Women and Music in America Since 1900 (2002) stated that "No Me Queda Mas" and "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" helped Selena peak in her fan base by 1995.[11] Ref[11] mentions these two songs (only accessed snippet view).

  9. replicating an Indian slave women. > depicting an Indian slave woman.
  10. ¶2 This is describing events related to Selena's murder and needs verifiable and reliable sources. It is the first time in this article that it describes her as being murdered and names an individual. I can't check ref[30]. A better ref is required: e.g. do you have on-line news article(s) with the conviction and circumstances of the murder being reported?
  11. ex employer for Selena's fan club and boutiques > former president of Selena's fan club and of Selena Etc. The murderer was more than just an ex-employee.
  12. The next sentence re: stolen items and murderer's parents needs re-wording to reduce confusion over 'she' and 'they'. Furthermore, accusations of theft or keeping stolen items need reliable refs to be put in a wikipedia article, I can't check ref[30]. If the accusations are made by Selina's parents/relatives/friends then this is not reliable and should be deleted. If the accusations are part of a criminal trial then a better ref is needed. Were the parents convicted in this matter?

If this is true then the Infobox and Lead should be changed: the first release should be given there. Ref[54} is in Japanese so I can't check this. The first line could be date recorded or date for pre-orders? Where the second line could be date released: October 1?

References

  1. As indicated above the vast majority of references were not checkable. Some are unreliable, e.g. Wikipedia itself. In each ref check that the work, publisher and title are correct (including formatting). Where possible give author(s) and date. If on-line, give access date. In some cases the wrong template is used or its incorrectly filled in.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:53, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


All up there is a lot of work to do on this article before proposing it for Good Article. I wish you well on your attempt.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:53, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed most of the issues that you have pointed out. I'll have the article go through a copy-edit before it goes to GAC. Thank you AJona1992 (talk) 13:50, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
