    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!

    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.

    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

    Stars Dance totally devalued Selena Gomez, the tracks are totally a generic and nauseous pop. He hoped to hear Selena's soft and delicious voice, most of his tracks have his vocals altered and it seems to be singing in something closed. Drastically it's an off-track musical album.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a very fun Pop, EDM, and electro album. The songs show Selena Gomez as confident, young, and vibrant even if it doesn't showcase so much of her vocals (with the exception of Love Will Remember, Stars Dance, Forget Forever) as we would have liked but it was a solid album with sounds of the time. If you want to feel like you're at a club, need a little confidence boost, or to dance this album inspired by dance beats and Rihanna/Britney Spears, check it out!

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

    Where does it come from?
    Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.3 chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500 is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some? are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictio

    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.
