These should probably be modified and moved into the article text as relevant.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 05:00, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Whoever keeps putting up that Lady GaGa signed up to do the film needs to cite their sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.27.12 ( talk) 21:07, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
People seem to be making a lot of stuff up on this page, I think it should be locked so that only members can edit User:Alextwa (10/24/09)
Yeah that seems like a good idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.25.9 ( talk) 22:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be mentioned that Steve Antin is the brother of Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin? The Pussycat Dolls started as a burlesque group in Los Angeles as well, and while reading the plot I noticed it's very much inspired by them (the original group). 20x11 ( talk) 21:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Please Stop deleting the Official Poster and Upload this Fake One... The Right One shows "It Takes A Legend To Make A Star". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Exceter81 ( talk • contribs) 11:29, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
I've removed the "Representations of Burlesque" section. The section lacks any sources to demonstrate the notability of the "controversy", including who has made any of those claims and who has made counter-arguments. Likewise, the discussion of the film's comparison to Showgirls and the actual art of burlesque lacks any sources to verify its statements. Without sources, it is also in violation of WP:Original research, being highly speculative. If appropriate sources can be applied to the section, including reliable sources discussing the controversy of the film's content as it represents burlesque performances, its comparisons (if any legitimately do exist) to Showgirls, and the analysis of what differentiates the two, it should be readded. If not, it should remain removed from the page. Luminum ( talk) 20:37, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Someone from the film company has edited this section, surely? Rotten Tomatoes gives it 38% based on 120 reviews, which basically means it's a turkey deluxe. However, all the reviews featured in the 'Reviews' section of this article are either 'positive' or 'mixed' - and when they are mixed, they quote favourable pieces about the film. No 'negative' reviews at all, even though Rotten Tomatoes tells us there should be more of these than the positives. Certainly here in the UK it has had uniformly scathing reviews and is regarded as a stinker.
So can we have some balance please with the reviews section reflecting real life and not what the film's publicist would like to present? 81.157.193.212 ( talk) 15:39, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
I would have to agree. The fact that 62% of critics reviewed the film negatively seems counter to the statement that "the film has received generally average reviews". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.48.115 ( talk) 06:49, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
I marked the section to be checked for NPOV. I feel that it's important that the section be reviewed, as this film in particular has been relevant to a recent controversy involving the Golden Globes, in which voting members of the Hollywood Foreign Press were seemingly bribed by Sony Pictures into nominating this film for the Golden Globe for Best Comedy/Musical, despite the fact that it was somewhat panned by critics.
It doesn't seem that the synopsis here does require expansion. It's incredibly long and could use a rewrite. I'm happy to do the rewrite in a few days, so if anyone objects, please comment below. Forsakendaemon ( talk) 18:26, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
I remember watching the film's opening credits and it did say that Christina Aguilera was the film's Executive Producer. I'm not sure if there are any sources on the net that prove this to be fact but if so, then it should be put in there. 74.216.6.127 ( talk) 07:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
The following information has been entered in the controversy section for the page on the Golden Globe awards;
"The nominations for the 2011 Globes drew initial skepticism, as the Foreign Press Association nominated both Burlesque and The Tourist in its Best Musical/Comedy category, despite the critical failures of both films. The skepticism turned to outrage when news surfaced that Sony, the distributor of Burlesque, had " treated" Globes voters to an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas, culminating in a concert by Cher, the film's star. [1]"
should this information be included on this page as well? -- MusicGeek101 ( talk) 19:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
