Selena Gomez, the incredible rise: From mocked singer to dancefloor star!
Selena Gomez received the American Music Awards for best pop-rock singer, a consecration for one who was struggling to find a place in the world of music. The magic Selena has worked again!
After Waverly Place ...
From Wizards of Waverly Place to AMA's, there is a world. If some Disney muses have managed to take the leap, few manage to make a real place for themselves in the musical world. This is the case of Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and now ... Selena Gomez. If these three artists are resolutely carried by large production machines, they have nonetheless proved their motivation to succeed, even if it means sometimes leaving their health there.
This is the case of Demi Lovato, who has overcome her eating disorders, and Selena Gomez, who suffered from depression. On the strength of her failures, she succeeded in transforming the essay. An actress, she has released several pop albums with mixed success, but has not wavered.
With Selena Gomez and the Scene, her "group", she released sweet pop titles like "Who says", "Love you like a love song", which gradually let speak the young woman who slept in her.

"Who Says":
With "Come and get it", she marks a turning point. We're not there yet, but she's looking for herself. She begins to do choreas live, between Rihanna and Shakira, evidenced by this colorful clip for a bohemian effect. For us, this warm and femme fatale side does not work.
Abracad'Insta ...
In parallel with these titles which are very popular with teens, Selena invests Instagram, like the other singers of her generation. And surprise, JustinBieberStory helping, here it is propelled to the rank of number 1 of the network. Exit Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Miley Cyrus. And yet, these last three singers have a musical history much more evolved than she. But she works her fans on emotion, plays on her emerging cleavage (even if Miley mimics her) and the phases of depression, more or less linked to Justin. Well in all respects, she works a clean image, glamorous and close to the public and wins the palm.
The sexy soft menu
Exit the sweet pop, she grew up. No more great love songs à la Demi Lovato or lyrical flights a la Katy Perry. She doesn't have the voice for that and works in another niche. She doesn't have Miley's second degree either. Exit the Shakira attempt.
She will choose music like her Instagram: glam, clean, safe, flawless. Sexy electro-pop, worn by black and white clips. What Else?
Well surrounded, Selena sails on the waves and imposes herself as queen of the dancefloor. Her titles are calibrated for radio, clubs and she is ahead of her former colleagues.
With "Good for you", she amazes us and places her voice more confident than ever. From now on, we recognize its timbre and its paste. A success for this artist who was not supposed to move away from comedy.
With "Kill'Em with kindness", she reiterates:
What can stop Selena Gomez? Not even that apparently ...
