^ yeah I believe that's true. HR is being extra cheap with her. Like even moreso than usual. lol Hopefully if does get another one from this album, it DOES have a storyline. I hope to see sales for her album steady or increase in the next few weeks. She's selling quite well. HR are cheap with all their artists even miley cyrus who is the best-selling arist there. Selena's sales are quite good for a "disney star", i think she could outsell Demi Lovato if her sales are consident. haha that's why I said "even moreso than usual." They are notorious for how cheap they are. (I'm a Hilary fan, I'd know.) But yeah I agree that if this does continue on a consistent route, she could eventually pass Demi.

I just don't understand Hollywood Records. By not promoting and funding their artists, they're basically shooting themselves in the foot.

Her version of "Winter Wonderland" is on Hollywood Records' All Wrapped Up, Vol. 2.

I liked the video, cheap and not "fierce" as she told, but it was OK considering it is HR. By the way, it confirmed my belief that "Naturally" is the perfect kind of song for her. She should stick with that sound for the next album, maybe hook up with RedOne (As if HR would actually pay for that), cuz dance-pop Selena seems so much credible that rocky Selena. I heard her cover of "Winter Wonderland" and it is a bog no no. Maybe it was my bad to hear it on the heels of Baby V's version, but I don't think the song suits her.

There was really no reason to bring up Vanessa's version of the song, you could have kept that to yourself. & the two versions really aren't comparable: one's jazz while the other is pop-rock. & it's obvious which of the two is the better vocalist...

You could have also kept that comment to yourself. I actually prefer Selena's version... I agree. I actually prefer Selena's vocals over the other girl's.

Eh, I don't think it's that bad as I didn't mean it in a bad way. I'm not constantly throwing shade at Selena like wtf always is. & it's obvious Selena fans will like hers better and Vanessa fans will like hers better lmao.

^V's voice sounds natural on this song unlike how she sounds on the HSM songs...plus she did this song on her own (she left HR...so no Disney or HR doing $hit to her voice) and there is a video clip of her in the studio singing this song and she sounds exactly the same now can we quit the arguing... apparently Selena is actually at V's 21st b-day party, her date looks to be Jennifer Stone :)

They did it in HSM and they're doing it now. That was only on some HSM tracks. Her voice isn't blended with studio singers on her own albums nor was it on her version of "Winter Wonderland". Vanessa can actually sing ;) But anyways, that's so cute Selena went to V's party.

It's rather ironic that as we were debating Selena v. Vanessa, they were partying together. Or... at least in the same building.

Yay I wonder how many songs she'll sing! "Falling Down" & "Naturally" are a given.

I just don't understand Hollywood Records. By not promoting and funding their artists, they're basically shooting themselves in the foot. I don't get it either, they promote the hell out of Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato yet the do s!it for Selena and Miley? The funny thing is Selena is more popular than Demi and Miley is more popular than the Jonas Brothers.

^just be glad that Miley and Selena actually got 2nd singles and be glad that HR actually paid for their music videos HR coudn't even give Vanessa a 2nd single even though they didn't bother paying for the Sneakernight music video. :( They basically wasted 3+ Dr. Luke songs that could have done decently on radio.

^ Be glad her video actually came out around the time of her album. See: Corbin Bleu's last album era (if you can even call it that.) I just don't understand Hollywood Records. By not promoting and funding their artists, they're basically shooting themselves in the foot. I don't get it either, they promote the hell out of Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato yet the do s!it for Selena and Miley? The funny thing is Selena is more popular than Demi and Miley is more popular than the Jonas Brothers. lol since when have they not promoted Miley? They even paid to get "The Climb" played at first. Also the Jonas Brothers are definitely not getting the same treatment they used to be. See: "A Little Bit Longer."

So glad for the sales lately, she's doing good.
I've been watching her concert videos and I think she's getting more confident on stage and getting quite better on the vocal voice, she performed at the Teleton in Mexico, Falling Down was really well done, she was jumping all around, so I think when she got to sing Naturally after that she lost her breath and did really mediocre. And her concerts are doing well so far.
As for HR I think none of them receive right treat, all the promotion Miley got for her EP was mainly from WalMart, and the video for When I look at you was most likely paid by the production of her movie to promote it. Demi got that average video for Remember December... we could say the same for Naturally, and still no radio airplay for neither of them. And they obviously decided to forget the last album of the Jonas, they didn't even got a second single, and it has some promising songs on it.

43 SELENA GOMEZ & SCENE KISS AND TELL 36,589 49 24,522 270,829
GREAT increase! She could possibly pass 300k by next week if #'s hold up!
Here are Lovato's #'s:
125 LOVATO*DEMI HERE WE GO AGAIN 12,029 40 8,578 341,219
She'll pass 350k next week while Selena could pass 300k. She's not far behind.

Apparently "More" is her new single. I'm so glad HR did everything as I wanted. That's the type of record Selena can pull out: more dance/pop, less rock.

I have to say, I think Selena did really well last night. I think she has the best shot to breakout big in mainstream music because she has what everyone else (sans Miley) lacks: charisma. She sang decently and danced around like a pro. We need a pop star nowadays who actually sings. I'm rooting for her.
