    Literally one of the worst albums of 2013.. Such a Rihanna rip-off (without the vocal ability though). Disappointment. Again, way too much autotune...

    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

    Um álbum desatualizado com uma pegada clichê de anos 80. Star Dance de uma forma bem repetitiva das músicas de Britney, Madonna, Donna Summer, que ninguém aguenta mais. Star Dance podia muito bem ser descartado da carreira de Selena.

    This sounds just the same as the generic When The Sun Goes Down. There's no evolution at all, but the first part is pretty good and in the end, the whole project can be appreciated as an early 2010s time capsule.

    I have to say that this album is not good at all. Most of the tracks are not very listenable but they have a good beat in to them. The vocals are not bad and also the production is quite good. I have to say that revival is 100 more times better than stars dance.
    My score:
    1. Birthday 5/10 2. Slow down 7/10 3. Stars dance 6/10 4. Like a champion 7/10 5. Come and get it 8/10 6.    I have to say that this album is not good at all.

    A very mediocre album with very few above average songs that will not be remembered in a decade from now. Favourites include Come & Get It, Slow Down, Music Feels Better and Nobody Does It Better

    a mudança de selena gomez teve pontos positivos , porem esses pontos positivos não são vistos neste album ,o que poderia ser uma nova fase na vida da cantora resultou no lançamento de album todo produzido e com poucas composições da propria selena ,possui raizes em um dance exaustivo e enjoativo , musicas repetitivas e refrões cheios de samples.

    It's definitely my favourite album of Selena. It's so rhythmic, I love it. Selena did a good job. It is a pity that it is not appreciated. I think Selene is very suitable for such songs.

    Великолепный альбом! Очень нравится его необычное звучание. Селене подходит этот стиль. Мелодии песен очень весёлые, а текст очень мрачный. Больше всего нравятся песни: Forget Forever, Save The Day и Undercover.

    Honestly, I feel like this was a mess. There are good songs like Slow Down and Love Will Remember but the rest of the alvum just didn't do it for me... But Revival is such a great album and I want Selena to do even better than Revival in SG2 !

    "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. 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 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

    Floplena can't sing. Just deal with it Selenators. And the only one good song on this album is Slow Down. Every other song is abomination.

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

    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.

    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.
