The successes that Selena Gomez achieved

Selena Gomez became famous at the age of 7 when she joined Barney & Friends. But it wasn’t until 2008 that she seriously turned to music. As the founder and lead singer of the group Selena Gomez & the Scene, she released the albums Kiss & Tell and A Year Without Rain, which were certified gold by the RIAA. As of early 2011, Selena Gomez & the Scene had sold 1,354,000 album copies in the US.

In 2015, Gomez introduced the single Good for You featuring rapper A$AP Rocky. The product held the 5th position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Two years later, she sold more than 7 million albums and 22 million singles globally. Billboard magazine recognized her as that year’s Woman. Thanks to the positive influences in art.

Gentle style

Gomez’s initial style was gentle and pure with a series of teen pop and pop-dance songs. Has simple, easy to remember lyrics. Thanks to that, her music products attract a large number of young listeners. But because of that, she is often criticized for lacking depth. The artistic ego does not appear clearly in the way of singing. Gomez was also told that he was only hanging out “for fun”. Not the person holding the microphone properly.

If you put it on the scale and compare it with two other Disney princesses who also pursued music at the same time, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus. Gomez’s vocal strength is weaker. Having said that again and again, Selena Gomez’s plus point is that she has clearly defined the direction from the beginning with a strong crew. Her products always demonstrate meticulousness in terms of image and content.

According to Daily Mail, Selena Gomez is like “delicious bait” to attract the media. Any issue related to Sel, especially emotional noise, becomes a topic of concern. Taking advantage of that popularity, the American singer has outlined a methodical product PR strategy. For example, mentioning Justin Bieber in interviews, releasing a new song after his ex got married…

Strong voice

Selena Gomez has a Lirico mezzo-soprano voice – a lyrical baritone. With the best singing range at Bb2 – F # 5 – C # 6. “This singer has a monotone voice, sometimes as if trying to make a sexy sound in an awkward way. Or even parody the conventions of pop singing in a charming way,” the site writes.

However, it is undeniable that the advantage of a lyrical middle voice is that it brings a gentle and sweet feeling. Sometimes it contains airiness. If combined with strong bass tones. That’s why Selena Gomez achieved success with Love You Like a Love Song (2011); The Heart Wants What It Wants (2014); We Don’t Talk Anymore (2016). Hit songs with gentle, easy melodies allow Gomez to show off her vocal color in a safe range. Without showing off too much technique.

Critic of Music believes that the weakness in Gomez’s singing style lies in the high notes because she does not handle them well. The female singer uses her chest voice throughout and lacks vibrato at the end of the sentence, making the sound sound harsh.

Surprises everyone with his ability to sing live

After Selena Gomez announced she would stop singing, social networks erupted in debate. The anti-fan community gloated that this was her best decision. They shared Selena Gomez’s poor live performances. Without the support of studio technology, her voice was clearly weak and exposed. Many newspapers call Gomez a “breathing diva” because she is often out of breath and sings softly on stage.

In November 2019, ex-lover Justin Bieber was once again criticized for his musical talent. When performing out of tune in the opening performance of the AMAs awards ceremony. With the song Lose You to Love Me. Fans argued that it was because he had been away from the stage for a long time. Sel was a bit nervous and couldn’t complete the performance well. But with difficult people, they see the problem more negatively. One account wrote: “That just shows Selena’s superficiality. If she was serious about her profession, she would have taken care of her voice before coming back.”

She shared when there were controversies about her voice

One of the rare times she was praised for singing well was at the Victoria’s Secret show three years ago. The video captures Gomez following the emotions of Hands to Myself and Me and My Girls. Received many compliments and attracted millions of views on social networks. “Sel’s voice is weak, but she knows how to choose music that matches her voice and can perform quite well. Just tell her she breathes live, but I still listen to her breathing like this.” An audience commented. When participating in The Kelly Clarkson Show in March 2020, Gomez sat down and talked about her controversial voice. She affirmed that she has constantly tried to become better every day.

“There are many people who think I’m not the best singer. But I worked extremely hard. I love composing and creating new melodies. I believe the Rare album is an opportunity to say everything I want.”

The efforts that led to Selena’s success

The more demanding the experts are, the more Selena Gomez seeks to become stronger. The studio album Rare, as mentioned above, is a clear demonstration of the vocal progress of the star born in 1992. She became more emotional and more feminine. No more struggling too much to convey the message through each word.

On the critical opinion aggregation site Metacritic, the album Rare received an average score of 76/100 based on 12 reviews. Synonymous with positive level. Selena Gomez has innovated pop, funk-pop, dance, R&B, electronic, reggaeton and alternative music. In a unique way through this album. Thanks to that, she sold 112,000 copies in the first week the album was on shelves.

The above impressive achievement shows that Rare is very worthy of climbing to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. The previous two albums – Stars Dance and Revival – achieved similar rankings. Although there are still many voices talking about Selena Gomez’s abilities.
