I'll be reviewing this article.--NØ 17:11, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

• The cover artwork used in this article seems to have more faded colors than the one on iTunes [https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/66/46/1c/mzi.gwryggjq.jpg/313x0w.jpg]. I also suggest replacing it with a PNG file.

::I don't quite know how to change the format of an uploaded file on Wikipedia. Any chance you could do that for me?

• "Lena performed on a dark stage enhanced with rays of light" -- Just say "light rays" instead of "rays of light"

::{{Done}}

• "the recording contradicted Lena's past good girl public image" -- "the recording strayed from Lena's past good girl public image" or "the recording was a departure from Lena's past good girl public image"

::{{Done}}

• ""Taken by a Stranger" has been covered by acts such as German group The BossHoss in 2017" -- You really don't need to mention the year here

::{{Done}} Removed

• "while Stefan Raab and Reinhard Schaub handled production" -- Add an "its" before "production"

::{{Done}}

• "With a length of three minutes and 25 seconds" -- Per MOS:NUM, use all numbers or all words, but not both.. aka "three minutes and twenty-five seconds" or "3 minutes and 25 seconds".

::{{Done}} I know that you should write out only numbers under 11, but I'll do it your way...

• with is instrumentation consisting of "weird, spooky and confusing sounds" -- You can take "sounds" out of the quote

::{{Done}}

• "The woman leaves though the man wants a relationship" -- This would read better as "The man wants to pursue a relationship but the woman leaves"

::{{Done}}

• "Abou-Dakn felt the mention of chairs and blindfolding in the song" -- Just say "he felt the mention..." because his full name is mentioned in the sentence right before.

::{{Done}}

• This section would be better titled just "Reception" since it doesn't make mention of many accolades

::Accolades are awards, which are definitely also part of this section. I think the section name should stay like that...

• "Before the Eurovision contest, oddsmakers had Lena reaching the top ten." -- This sentence can be removed, it doesn't fit in this section

::{{Done}}

• "At the 2011 1Live Krone Awards, "Taken by a Stranger" was nominated in the Best Single category." -- Since this award show doesn't have a Wikipedia page, I would suggest removing it from here per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. They're not notable awards

::This award is notable and has a Wikipedia page in German: [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Live_Krone ]. It is "Germany's biggest Radio-Award".

• "Wolf Gresnz filmed it "in a hurry" in Berlin, Germany" -- "in a hurry" is completely useless in this sentence, remove it

::{{Done}}

• ""Taken by a Stranger" was promoted by several live performances" -- Replace "by" with "with" or "through"

::{{Done}}

Points awarded to Germany is just made up of two lines and doesn't need to be a separate subsection

::{{Done}}

The article is placed on hold and will be promoted if changes are made. Cheers!--NØ 17:11, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
