Miley who? Since the release of Selena Gomez's first CD, “Kiss & Tell,” the hearts of many fans have transferred from the kid-candy pop of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus to the sweet sound of Gomez's soothing voice. The Disney actress tries to reach out to her audience as she reveals her full potential in her new pop-rock songs. Can the native Texan prove to the world that she can do more than act and put on a pretty face? Will her audience accept the sudden change in Gomez's career? We'll see.

Known more as an actress on the hit show, “Wizards of ­Waverly Place,” Gomez's singing talent was hidden ­behind hilarious facial expressions and comedic lines. When I first heard the familiar sound of her voice flow with the catchy tune of “Cruella De Vil” from Disney's “101 Dalmatians,” I leaped in excitement. She blew me away with her optimistic voice, and amazing control. Selena Gomez will dominate the charts with her bubbly personality, rock-hard beats, and soul-touching lyrics.

As a new singer, Gomez brought her best to her debut album with heartfelt songs like “The Way I Loved You” and fast, dance beats of “More” and “Naturally.” The beats control the listener's mind, giving anyone the urge to get up and dance. The lyrics scream fun and excitement and the catchy melody makes the song difficult not to sing constantly the next day.

I highly recommend buying this talented Disney star's first CD. I have no doubt that Selena Gomez will find her way to the top of the charts and leave a permanent impression.

It seems to me as if you're either opposing Disney Channel or Selena Gomez, both of which you denied. I am aware you probably have no personal hatred for the company or this young woman you've most likely never met, but that's not fair. Are you positive that technology has been used to alter her tone? I am doubtful. I agree with Aelita on this one;; where is the evidence? Furthermore, her speech reflects her singing in many ways {{or likewise}}, so I cannot possibly imagine where the computer comes in except to download her heartfelt tunes of optimism and fun <3.

Yep! Demi Lovato was on Barney too! You should see her. She was kind of chubby and really cute.

I think she already started that with "Another Cinderella Story", didn't she?  I don't think that was through Disney.

Don't you just love how her songs don't all sound like carbon copies of eachother.  Yet each one still has her own distinctive voice and sound?

Selena Gomez seems to be a pretty good role model, but Mylie?... Not exactly the role model of the year...  She's done some nutty stuff.  She's not Hannah Montanna, wh is <in character> a good influence.  She is Mylie Cyrus whose character apparently did not rub off on her.

You have no evidence to prove that.  Even when she speaks, listen to her intonation.  It is the same way that she sings.  It seems to me that you are only saying this because you do not like her, or do not enjoy her music.  It is unfair to say that she is talentless and that she digitizes her voice.

This CD is AMAZING and I'm so proud of Selena for all her accomplishments. Her new CD, A Year Without Rain, is EVEN BETTER!

Hey, Personally I'm against disney channel since they parade they parade little kids around when their too young to see the outlook of their actions. Yet, This CD is a fake. Yes, this is her voice, but it has been changed using a computor to make it sound much better. Its like auto-tuning. I am honestly ashamed shes getting so famous for this album while great singers are struggling to even sell 1 copy of their work.

I don't hate the girl, i just dissaprove of what Disney is doing to her. She got famous for acting. then all of a sudden they find out she can sing? That just doesnt happen. You get famous for singing then you go into acting.Not the other way around.
