    Despite the singles, this is not an impressive album at all, but a fully EDM-pop influnced album with generic lyrics that still can make you dance.

    A good album to dance and have fun. But overuse of auto tune on some music and she forgot to focus on the quality of the songs, but is good to hear.
    Highlights: Birthday and Love Will Remember
    Lows: Write Your Name and Stars Dance

    This album is definitively much better than her last two, it has a more mature sound and better vocals. She has more input in this album and actually co-writing some of the songs. It's different in a good way, she is growing into a serious artist for sure

    This is the second cd I wanted to review, for the same reason, I think it is so under-rated. I am a 45 year old male and I recall how critics ripped Madonna's Like a Virgin CD apart, and I love that one too. Shame on you, critic, for saying that Selena is screaming like a whore on Birthday when she has become a sensual young woman whoever wrote that review is a pervert.

    Thanks to the strong songs, Selena's reliably strong vocals, and the variety of sounds, it adds up to be another fine entry in her catalog and just another example of why Selena Gomez is one of the best pop stars making music. What's left, then, is a collection of 11 shinily produced pop songs that find Gomez trying on a series of different personalities with her slight-yet-capable vocals.

    Genuinely loved the whole album. Come and Get is Selena's best song TO DATE. And the Best song I've heard in my life. The whole album had amazing dance uptemo beats. Save the day,Slow Down,Like a Champion are just amazing. This was probably the best album of 2013 in my opinion. One thing it lacked was that it only had uptempo songs which you can't listen to in every mood songs like theGenuinely loved the whole album. Come and Get is Selena's best song TO DATE.

And i don't think Birthday was a good song to open the album with . That was probably the only flaw. But her new effort Revival STOLE the game!
    Good job Selena!    … Expand

    Foxes é maravilhosa. Eu amo tudo o que ela faz, tudo bem feito, impecável. Coisa de artista de verdade, é uma pena ver que não tem o reconhecimento merecido.

    Selena Gomez is a main pop girl and this album shows that , she’s so underrated her voice and her music is so unique , this album is one of the best pop album songs of our generation..

    The songs, although far from powerful, was catchy and I think that, although she is armed with a very limited range, she can make good songs, the only thing that is keeping me from giving her full marks is the fact that all her songs are very autotuned. Her vocals are less showcased and most of her music is just background beats, not really singer material. Anyways, great album!

    The album is filled with a lot of okay songs and just a few stands out. Come and Get It being the best, we also have Undercover and Stars Dance which are way better than Slow Down, they should've been singles.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this album, upon seeing the packaging and reading the tracklist I assumed it would be a compilation of slow-paced boring ex-Disney star songs. I couldn't have been more wrong. The overall production of the album is of an excellent standard and it is one of the few albums in recent years which I can listen to every track on.

Album highlights include 'Birthday', 'Like A Champion', 'B.E.A.T' & 'Nobody Does It Like You'. Album lowlights are the lead single 'Come & Get It' which gets horrifically repetitive after a couple of times, and 'I Like It That Way' in which Gomez seems to refer to her Disney girl state and creates a childish, pre-teen girl song.

    The album still beats other ex-Disney stars efforts such as Miley Cyrus' 'Bangerz' or Demi Lovato's 'Demi' and I definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys energy filled pop music.    … Expand

    "Stars Dance" marks the first solo album of Selena Gomez without her band Selena Gomez & The Scene. This album shows a slightly more mature image of Selena while staying in the continuity of his 3 previous albums. What is unfortunate is that we feel that this album is more teen pop than pop, Selena tries new things without more. I even find that his last album with his band "When The Sun"Stars Dance" marks the first solo album of Selena Gomez without her band Selena Gomez & The Scene.

What is unfortunate is that we feel that this album is more teen pop than pop, Selena tries new things without more. I even find that his last album with his band "When The Sun Goes Down" was better in the production of the album or in the lyrics of the songs. Moreover, even if I like the lead single "Come & Get It" which is striking, it does not look like Selena (song originally intended to Rihanna) or the album, the song is really too different and is a the most pop song of the album than the albums that are for me, of the teen-pop style except "Stars Dance". It's still a good album.… Expand

    The whirring Stars Dance is a confident but not aggressively blatant move to a more grown-up pop playing field.

    Stars Dance is exactly the kind of album one makes in 2013 if you want to keep the pop sugar of the Disney tween cabal but mix in some broken glass and a club bathroom nosebleed.
