Break The Ice - Manon Dave Remix[edit]

Her next single. Should be added. Info here.--JackSUNxD (talk) 06:13, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recording Session Leak[edit]

I know ONTD may not be a reliable source but it's the only one where the early Break The Ice Demo is reported, plus the session leaked in one Britney Spears forum but bits of it can be found anywhere else, namely YouTube.

How can this leak be adressed on the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrcaporal (talk • contribs) 21:53, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a reliable source, there's no problem adding a section about it. Xwomanizerx (talk) 22:35, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leaks are to be added, if and only if it received coverage from many reputed sources, or the artist herself responded to it. Otherwise, it violates WP:LEAK. Novice7 | Talk 03:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sample[edit]

Ok, why change the sample? The description clearly says "The chorus of "Break the Ice", in which Spears sings over a heavy electronic background." Why change it to a different portion with a higher quality and length than allowed by WP:SAMPLE? - Sauloviegas (talk) 10:12, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This clip shows the diversity of the song, going from the chorus to the bridge. Plus, the only description we have of the latter is "[something that] sounds like spacehoppers [are] bouncing in slow motion round a padded cell". I think a sample like this one was needed. Xwomanizerx (talk) 16:21, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so I'm going to keep but reduce it, at least, per WP:SAMPLE. - Sauloviegas (talk) 18:38, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
