I meant that you shouldn't have such long quotes. Use more often your own words if you want you can use some part of the quotes you can't say in your own words.

I have a few statements and questions in reference to your review of Pink and Blue.
Regarding lead, you said J-pop and UK garage were more than influences, but did not explain what you meant. Rare Candy is not a blog, in its 'about', it says: "Rare Candy is a music magazine based in New York City that focuses on exposing underground music and visual art culture." I also had a music journalism link and did not want to overlink. Would you still like me to link music journalism to 'music critics'? In regards to 'Background and release', you wanted me to include the Pidgeons and Planes reference in 'Critical reception', but it isn't written from the point of a critic, it just details the composition: "The most popular PC Music song to date, according to Soundcloud streams, is Hannah Diamond’s “Pink and Blue.” On May 8, Hannah tweeted, “My first track Pink and Blue has now reached over 100K plays!” It functions well as an aural example of the uncanny valley, the point at which virtual humanity gets too close to realistically representing a human, and our minds instinctively reject it. The song is uncompromisingly sweet, the lyrics are simple and earnest, the backing track spare and soothing. However, that cuteness is pushed to an extreme—Diamond’s vocals seem slightly pitched up, the instrumental complex enough to hint that there could be more going on here. The most naive of sentiments—“We’re falling in love!”—become challenging, off-putting, and ultimately, compelling. A maniacal focus on a single directive is something that really only happens in pop; think Pitbull and his unfailing dedication to all things party. “Pink and Blue” is what happens when you take that approach and apply it to something a little more complicated than shots at the club. The response so far has been, predictably, divided. The primary complaint, something especially applicable to Hannah Diamond or Princess Bambi, is the childlike delivery of the vocals—the tracks sound like a middle schooler’s diary entry in musical form. The thing is, there are bonafide hits, say “Teenage Dream” or “Call Me Maybe,” that could be described the exact same way. This is the infantilization of the female pop star taken to its logical extreme, and it makes for music somewhere between intriguing and uncomfortable." It also was not iTunes available on October 30, 2013, it was just released then, as "Every Night" by Diamond was the first PC Music song available on iTunes, and that would be WP:OR, which is why I'm going to remove the bits about GFOTY and replace it with something else, as that portion was truthfully mentioned on a different blog I remember reading, and I do not want to violate WP:OR. Regarding composition, I was referring the noisey article, whose title was "Trying to Make Sense of Hannah Diamond and Post-Ringtone Music". The sources do not say J-pop or UK garage, they say "Folding in J-Pop twinkle[...]" (see FACT reference regarding it being one of 2014's best tracks), and "pastel-shaded take on UK garage, trappy beats and bon-bon dance-pop" (see CMU reference). I'd say either, but that'd be WP:OR, though with the former, I Googled "folding" to be sure, and found the second definition particularly useful: "cover or wrap something in (a soft or flexible material)." I think that it means the song has more a J-pop influence/aesthetic, but I want to know your thoughts regarding that. I also don't know what you mean about the last portion of the 'Critical reception' section, at all. Thanks, -- Aleccat 22:57, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
