#SELENA GOMEZ REVIVAL ALBUM PHOTOS TV#
Like many former TV stars, Gomez has a malleable, unshowy voice, the kind that can sound a little pop-rock or a little alt-R&B or a little Rihanna without ever settling on one. Indeed, Gomez has spent several albums now shedding her Disney trappings to a couple hits but relatively little fanfare. Gomez in particular comes across as hardworking and almost impervious to scandal even turns in Harmony Korine’s teensploitation film Spring Breakers and a well-publicized relationship with pubescent heartthrob turned tabloid scoundrel Justin Bieber have left her relatively unscathed. Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, meanwhile, are lower-key but reliable hitmakers. Miley Cyrus became famous by running off the Hannah Montana moral-clause rails, then remained famous by finding whole new sets of rails to run off. Of the four, Ariana Grande is the most familiar personality: the Britney Spears teen coquette, with a bit more stage-kid showmanship from her days on drama-school sitcom Victorious.
These things always seem to come in fours: first Britney, Christina, Mandy, Jessica now Ariana, Miley, Demi, Selena. Not only do they enter the major-label world with pre-existing, devoted fanbases, they’ve had the equivalent of several seasons of character development. Pop fandom is all about characters and storylines, so it makes sense that Disney and Nickelodeon alums do well.
