Matthew H. disfavors Stars Dance - "characterless voice!"
Quote:
There are traces of naughtiness right away in the strident, crunky Birthday where Gomez blares, "Tell 'em that it's my birthday/When I party like that," already making excuses for a new-found wild persona. It's not enormously convincing. Bieber detectives might find clues in Forget Forever's bitter line, "Our love was made to rule the world/You came and broke the perfect girl". It's also the album's best track, a chiming blast of dance-rock with a rare hook.
Those are the slim pickings. Stars Dance suffers otherwise from a gaping hole where Gomez's personality should be. A characterless voice doesn't help, but the songs feel off-the-peg. Off J.Lo's peg mainly, certainly on the charmless likes of Slow Down or Like A Champion, where Gomez unveils a Jamaican accent worse than anything The Saturdays can muster.
It's all too identikit, could be anyone with a grasp of average dance-pop, and no dubstep drags or Ke$ha impressions on B.E.A.T. can save it.
I can't think of any other female without any character to her voice (not to that extent anyway) but she's still successful so her "characterlessness" is working in her favor...
Selena is definitely a huge part of your life
