September 29th: Dancing with the Stars
October 1st: Live with Regis and Kelly
OMG I will die if she performs at these two. Well mostly DWTS. That'd be unexpected.

^I was suprised too, but it seems to be a given now for top acts at HR. Demi performed on DWTS and Disney/HR seems to treat Selena as well as Demi so I don't see why not.
The DWTS spot just kind of confuses me sometimes because, HR books that spot for artists and then they don't send the songs for radio ads. First Demi, and now Selena possibly. I know it probably helps some in downloads but it just seems kind of dumb that they don't send their songs for ads.
PS: I hope that HR finally books a spot for Vanessa on DWTS when her album finally comes out since DWTS used one of her songs as promo to promote their upcoming season.

The major difference between Selena & Demi however is that this will be Selena's FIRST music performance, ever. If this is true, I'm kinda shocked they're putting so much pressure on her straight out of the gate. Selena has never performed on tour, never performed on a TV show or anything.
But yeah I don't see why they give them such major exposure on DWTS but don't really push the single anywhere else. That's quite odd.

^ That's true. She's been rehearsing for more than a month, nearly two now. But lord knows behind the scenes rehearsals don't equal the pressure of singing in front of a live crowd.

Wizards of Waverly Place won the EMMY for Outstanding Children's Program! If this isn't Selena's year, IDK what is. (Let's hope she finds success with her album as well.)

Good for her.
And wow at the DWTS performance if it's true. That's really good exposure.

Previews leaked, and the album it's a hot mess. Her voice sound either overprocessed or awfully raw (an believe me, she doesn't has the voice to pull a raw). "Naturally" & "More" are the only listenable song, along with the reworked version of "Tell Me Something I Don't Know", thus proving that the dance style fits her the best. I must say tho, "I Got You" is lovely, but she can't pull it.

Kiss & Tell, I Won't Apologize, Crush, Naturally, The Way I Loved You, More, I Don't Miss You At All, I Got You all sound great. Can't wait for the album. Her voice is so nice & different. It makes me wish all the more that she had gotten the song "Hot Mess" over the other Disney girl. :(

The ones that stuck out to me from the clips:
-Naturally -More -I Won't Apologize -I Don't Miss You At All
I'm feelin' this new version of "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" too! But I agree she doesn't have a strong enough voice to pull of some of these songs. I kinda wish she went the pop/r&b route. & Ashley isn't the best singer either but I don't think Selena could've done "Hot Mess" justice.

Anyway, I'd never heard that rumor before, where does that come from?

Hmmm that's subjective. IMO I'm sure she could have done better than sounding like she had just woken up, or whispering over the telephone. But again, that's just my opinion.

They all sound great except the first track, "Kiss & Tell." "Naturally" and "The Way I Loved You" sound the best to me.
I wish she had taken a more pop route. If she had sang all these songs over a hot JR or Danja beat, I think they would fit her voice a lot more. That's my one complaint, but other than I like this a lot more than I thought I would. :)

^ Yeah I agree. That would have been pretty hot, but I don't think that's necessarily her style... "The Way I Loved You" really is gorgeous, if it's not released after whatever the second single is, then I'm gonna be pissed. lmao

Loved her singing acoustically. People should keep in mind that's her first live performance, she sang in a different key, & she's an actress first, not a singer. Singing is just a hobby for Selena. Get it!
I'm sure Baby V, Miley Cyrus & Demi Lovato didn't start off with the voices they have now. :)

Oh btw, Selena keeps racking up the awards this year, she won Television Comedy Actress of the YEAR! at the Alma Awards.
Even if she doesn't have a future in singing, she sure as hell does as an actress.

V and Miley always sang, but you're right, Demi was awful when she started (the acapellas in CR are so bad), but Selena was even worse! I agree that she has a bright future as an actress, and I keep insisting she would be a great high fashion model.

What about Miley?? I always cringe when I listen to her when she sang "Best of both worlds" as Hannah when she was younger :S She has improved A LOT.
And I saw once Vanessa live and she was average, nothing that special either, though I love the versions on her albums.
As for Selena, well she doesn't have a good voice for singing, but I think she does fine in the most part of the songs she has. And she's just having fun with this, as long as I can dance to it and have fun listening to it, it's perfect for me, just what she wants to deliver to her fans.
And yeah she keeps getting recognized as an actress, where she really belongs, I'm happy for her! :)

Miley was 13 not 16, her voice had yet to change when she recorded her first songs its expected that she'd improve as her voice changed. Selena's voice has changed already so she won't have some massive improvement. Miley sounds like an entirely different singer now compared to her early recordings, that won't happen with selena.
now back to Selena. Some of these songs are really good, I just wish that someone else had recorded them. I listened to Selena try and sing live when she did her acoustic performance during her live chat and I cringed. she can't sing without the benefit of production and editting at all. I think Selena's making a huge mistake pursing music, shes a good actress but shes going to lose a lot of respect by pursing music, especially because shes not all that good at it.

I was looking at Hits site and looking at who shes releasing against, is Hollywood Records crazy? there is like 15 people releasing that week, and a lot of big names like Barbara, Madonna , Paramore, Mariah, etc . I doubt any sites will even review an album like Selena's when they have all these huge names to choose. idk maybe Hollywood Records doesn't care about that but still, shouldn't they release in a less jam packed week?

^they don't...they know she won't hit #1 so it doesn't matter to them HR doesn't really seem to care a whole lot about chart position unless they think you can hit #1...Vanessa has never debuted very high but there have been weeks where she would have debuted in the top 10 (even with her bad promo) but she ended up debuting in the 20's because of tons of competition but it might say more if Selena can hold her own against well known acts and finally, I don't think that the people that are excited for Selena's album are the same ones that are exicted for Mariah's or Madonna's...maybe a few but not a whole lot

Hollywood Records doesn't behave logically at all. I'm SURE you know that.
