It's only been one person asking over and over. Since that person can't provide any sources for any of their requests, it's extremely unpersuasive.—Kww(talk) 06:02, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed that and went to their talk page but saw you had already left a message there. IP user: while you're waiting for your block to expire, you might read this policy, which explains why your requests are being denied. Rivertorch (talk) 06:49, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genres[edit]

The song isn't R&B as artists such as Beyonce, Alicia Keys are R&B and their music sounds nothing like this please remove is and please highlight that they performed the song on The X Factor australia as this could cause confusion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.14.116 (talk) 19:26, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it's not really R&B, but the song obviously has hip hop influences (it's probably where the confusion comes from, a lot of people think they're the same thing), as does their song DNA. Both songs are produced by TMS, who usually works with Dappy, Tinchy Stryder, Devlin, Wretch 32, Professor Green, Dot Rotten, and others. They were marketed as an "urban-pop" group on X Factor aswell (which I'm sure is the reason why their record label has made them work with an urban UK producer for their album). But all that aside, the song itself is clearly influenced by hip hop.

However, for Wikipedia, the genres need to be sourced to be accepted for the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.205.31.243 (talk) 02:39, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
