Prose is of passable quality, in most cases. One error is in the sentence "Spears revealed that she "have always loved ballads. It's like, there is always a time on the show, a transition where you can gather your thoughts, and [...] just chill". Change 'have' to [has]. The formatting of the article seems good, but the "Despite not being released as a single from Circus, "Out from Under" was featured on the fifth season of MTV's The Hills, during a scene where Lauren Conrad comforts Heidi Montag." sentence should be added under an 'In Popular Culture' subsection under the 'Reception' section. It does not belong in 'background'.
Referencing is a more serious issue here. The 'Tales From The Studio - Britney's Circus' source is a book, but no weblink is given, nor is a direct quote from the book supporting the statement given. The Washington Post review is not sourced. Additionally, as annoying as it is, all direct quotes must be cited immediately after the quote ends, even if it ends mid-sentence. The 'reception' section has a couple that do not do that.
Overall, very neutral. However, while the lede mentions 'critics' considered it her best ballad since "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet A Woman", only one critic out of the the ten provided gave that comment. Perhaps you can keep it up there, but note that it was the opinion of one critic, not many.
No images are used, so there is really no problem here.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I'm going to place this article on hold for a week (seven days), the standard period of time for holding. While this is by no means a bad article (I found it an enjoyable read), the issues here are not minor enough to warrant a 'quick fix', as some involve referencing and neutrality. If the issues are solved before the date, then I will be glad to pass this early. If these are not dealt with by that time, I will fail it.
