Hi! I will review this article. Cheers! Basilisk4u (talk) 16:26, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

• ”Written out of jealously and rage, "No Me Queda Más" was written by the lead keyboardist of Selena y Los Dinos, Ricky Vela…” The “and rage” may be a bit much. Also, the word “written” is used twice in this sentence, perhaps use “penned” instead of the second usage
• ”Selena's brother and producer of her music, A.B. Quintanilla III had produced "No Me Queda Más"” Remove “had”
• ”whose ex-lover has left her for another women” women should be “woman” as it is singular
• The last paragraph should only talk about the music video. It seems to jump around from reception of the video to the song itself.

Inspiration, writing and production

• "he quickly had fallen in love" --> "he quickly fell in love"
• "until she got married to Billy Arriaga" --> "until she married Billy Arriaga"
• "Vela wrote vociferously about his frustrations on a piece of paper." Remove "vociferously", it may be a bit much.
• "Vela then told Quintanilla III about his feelings for his sister and that he wrote his feelings about her getting married to Arriaga on paper." --> "Vela then told Quintanilla III about his feelings for his sister and that he wrote his disdain about her getting married to Arriaga on paper."
• "After reading the paper, Quintanilla III believed he and Vela could transform it into a ballad-type song. Quintanilla III became fond of the idea since he was trying to enhance Selena's following album with new materials that could boost their fan base and fame." --> "After reading the paper, Quintanilla III believed he and Vela could transform it into a ballad-type song and was fond of the idea as he was trying to enhance Selena's following album with new material that could boost their fan base and fame." Also, who is the "their" referring to? Shouldn't Selena be referred to as "her"?
• "Vela had done sequencing, Quintanilla III and Argentine arranger and composer Bebu Silvetti produced the song." --> "Vela handled sequencing, while Quintanilla III and Argentine arranger and composer Bebu Silvetti produced the song."
• "Band members Arturo Meza and Jesse "O'Jay" Martinez used their instruments such as the percussion and the congas for "No Me Queda Más". Freddie Corea and Don Shelton used the tambourine." "Percussion" is kind of a vague word. I think this would sound better as "Band members Arturo Meza and Jesse "O'Jay" Martinez utilized percussion instruments such as congas for "No Me Queda Más", while Freddie Corea and Don Shelton used tambourines."

Music, theme, and lyrics

• Section looks good!

Release and chart performance

• "In the US, "No Me Queda Más" was the third single from Amor Prohibido and was released on November 10, 1994." --> "Released on November 10, 1994 in the US, "No Me Queda Más" was the third single from Amor Prohibido."

Critical reception

• "Onet.pl described "No Me Queda Más" as one of the biggest hits that Selena produced for her fifth studio album, Amor Prohibido." The "that Selena produced for her fifth studio album" part is not necessary as it is established earlier in the article
• "During a Corpus Christi Hooks games on July 30, 2010, a Selena tribute was sound-off with most of her music playing, including "No Me Queda Más"." --> "No Me Queda Más" was included during a Selena tribute at a Corpus Christi Hooks game on July 30, 2010."

Music video

• Is there a source for the part about the interview with Selena?

  • That whole section is sourced to FN#44 and FN#45. Best, Jonayo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:50, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• "Production of the music video was erupted" What do you mean by erupted?
• In the synopsis section, all mentions of "women" should be "woman"

Cover versions

• Looks good! No complaints.

I have put the article on hold in order for these concerns to be addressed. Take care and thank you for all your hard work on Selena articles. Basilisk4u (talk) 17:35, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
