    Finally,a good Disney star

    hide show

    There are so many bad Disney stars these days like Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers that have wrecked Disney,and were the first nails in their coffins. Now,97% of the Disney stars are just people who cannot sing,or cannot act. However,after many months,we finally get a good Disney star who not only has talent,but can sing and be funny. Selena Gomez is basically the best Disney star besides Hilrary Duff. Her career started in Barney and Friends,and while I still hate that show,she actually sang great in the show. Then,her Disney career started in Zack and Cody. Then,Wizards of Waverly Place came. And while it wasn't as good as Lizzie Mcguire,it was still a great show. She is also an actress,and was in Monte Carlo. Not to mention that she can sing. Unlike Cody Simpson and Jacob Latimore or other untalented Disney singers,she actually has talent,and has a voice. Her songs like "Who Says" and "Naturally" are just great. Another reason why I like her is because I think she's hot. I know I said you can't like a singer by their looks,but at least I like her for other reasons. I mean,she's is beautiful,and doesn't try to be like some kind of Lindsey Lohan. She also hasn't done anything bad. No drugs or alchohol,no pole dancing,no naked photos. She has never done that,and is not like MC. My only complaint with her is the fact that people like Miley Cyrus,but not Selena. Are you kidding me? You mean to tell me that people hate a talented girl,but love some kind of idiot who tries to expose herself? It should be the other way around. And for those of you who say she's a brat,no she isn't. MC is. Overall,Selena Gomez is a great Disney star,who should get the attention,not Miley Cyrus.

    Finally,a great Disney star who actually has a BRAIN! hide show

    These days,Disney stars like Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato or the Jonas Brothers just suck very hard.Hilrary Duff and Raven Symone are onto better things now.But finally,we have a Disney star who's actually smart,can sing and is really beautiful. And her name is Selena Gomez. Selena started acting in the terrible educational Barney & Friends.I actually saw the clip of it,but I didn't like it though. Then,she became a Disney star. She sucked in Wizards of Waverly Place,but now,she's a big star and does better than Miley Cyrus.But of course,she DID date that god-awful Justin Bieber,but I don't care about that. Now,she has a singing career in her band Selena Gomez and The Scene. Now,I have to admit ,Who Says is a great song(Not to be confused with that terrible Hannah Montana song). And she is also an actress with movies like Ramona and Beezus and her upcoming Monte Carlo.So in my opinion,Selena Gomez is a great singer,is beautiful and is different from Miley Cyrus,Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers because she never did drugs,she never cutted her self as a young age and has talent.So please like her more than the other idiots these days at Disney.

    Wow!!! she is such a beautiful girl hide show

    I just wanted to say that I love absolutely love this actress... she is such an adorably beautiful girl with sparkly eyes, stunning long black hair, and a shining smile. Ever since her show "Wizards of Waverly Place", I have been loving this actress ever since. She isn't a jerk to anyone or selfish or anything. She just loves to have fun and is friendly to everyone. I have faith in Selena Gomez and I know that she will be huge in the future. She is good at doing both comedic and serious roles... which ever one she does, she does an impressive job on both of them. I watch "Wizards of Waverly Place" because it's a very funny Disney show which one of my favorite shows and also because of Selena Gomez. She already did a great job in that film cute family comedy film "Ramona and Beezus". She is also a true friend to Demi Lovato. Everyone around this world admire Selena Gomez because she is wonderful, she is friendly, and she is very adorable and it would be an honor to meet her one day. I hope she does more movies in the future... Selena Gomez's future is going to be excellent and I know it because I have faith in her. Overall, she is an amazing and beautiful person. 10/10

    she's going far hide show

    Disney Channel star Selena Gomez is most definitely going far in her acting roles. I see her on Wizards of Waverly Place, like in some of the more serious episodes, and she is a great actor, and she's only what, 17 or 18 or so? She's already pretty great at such a young-ish age, and I definitely think as an adult she could make it, either as a comedy actor, or as a serious actor. I see a lot of potential in her future, I really do. She is amazing right now and I can only imagine how great she could be in the future.
