    Much awaited with the two first good singles, Stars Dance is a disappointment. It is the kind of record you listen, dance on, and then forget. It reminds Alexandra Burke's last horrible effort, just a little bit better produced. After listening to Stars Dance, you will only remember the surprising and sexy "Birthday" and the two first singles for their beat, that's all.

    was kind of disappointed with this :/ so much autotune which shows no good vocals at all and she is the weakest vocally out of her old disney costars.

    Honestly, I feel like this was a mess. There are good songs like Slow Down and Love Will Remember but the rest of the alvum just didn't do it for me... But Revival is such a great album and I want Selena to do even better than Revival in SG2 !

    Completamente aburrido, no aporta nada bueno a la cultura de la música pop, Selena Gómez no es una artista, este álbum demuestra completamente el fracaso y lo poco interesante de un artista incompleto

    I loved Birthday, but the rest of the album is boring. I'm not surprised with this, cause it's a pop project made by Selena Gomez, or better, producers that want money.

    She sounds like she's trying to be Britney Spears. "Come & Get It" comes out as the only good song on the record, the other ones sound dated and used the old 2011 formula, which is getting the general public kind of tired, pop dubstep.

    Stars Dance é um álbum enjoativo, com músicas que só foram feitas para vender. Seus albuns anteriores, quando ainda era "Selena Gomez & The Scene" são bem melhores que esse. Espero que ela acerte na próximo, ela tem talento para isso.

    It's basically an album that was made to be charts friendly, but not even that worked (the album was kinda a flop) anyway, it can bored you easily. No Uh-Uh.

    em quesito qualidade é um álbum péssimo, o que salva nele são as letras maduras. esse álbum só é bom de ouvir quando vc passa mais de meses sem ouvir e volta a ouvir, chega a empolgar depois enjoa. odiei o primeiro cd da selena em carreira solo

    Stars Dance totally devalued Selena Gomez, the tracks are totally a generic and nauseous pop. He hoped to hear Selena's soft and delicious voice, most of his tracks have his vocals altered and it seems to be singing in something closed. Drastically it's an off-track musical album.

    This album is so bad. The 2 singles are good tho, I like Slow Down, it's a cute song to dance. But she didn't even co-wrote any of the songs on this album. Why is she even a musician?

    These songs sound like they all rolled off the same mindless assembly line as those of a dozen other marketing-manufactured mediocre "stars". Come and Get It sounded fun the first time or two I heard it, I admit that. But then it quickly becomes annoying, once you realize how utter banal and insipid it actually is.

    This album is unbearably generic. Perhaps Selena will become liquid water, shifting her shape everytime she is put into a different container. The production is nothing special either, and this album manages to make me fall asleep almost everytime. I hope this isn't everything that Selena can do.

    Don't buy this album, because it is crap. Liquid diarrhea.

    Noting stupid pop trash. And her younger fans shouldn't get this album. Listen the her song "Birthday" and you'll know what I mean. Anyway, her vocals are TERRIBLE.

I mean, the only reason I would like her is because Selena is gorgeous, but other than that I don't see why her fans like her music... Even if she was the one who wrote "Stupid Hoe" they would still like it... Don't call me a hater, but if you call yourself a singer, then you must have good vocals and know how to make good lyrics, both in which Selena does not have. I'm ashamed that people actually like this album...… Expand

    This album is a complete fail. The background music is heart-stopping, but the vocals, lyrics and production is overly produced and shows no acoustic talents for both Selena and produces.

There are absolutely no ballads on the album, and "Love Will Remember" is an awkward attempt at one after ten songs of dance music. Selena has mid-core attempts at singing, but this album does her no justice, since the songs hide both her personality, and her voice. Better luck next time, Selena. But for the good of my ears, hopefully there will not be a next time.… Expand

    This album sucks and Selena Gomez is the definition of no talent, pop star wanna be, look at me i am pretty and white therefore i can get whatever i want, let me date people more famous than me so i can move up in case system .

    This is her worst album yet the only songs i recommend are come and get it, slow down, undercover, love will remember and stars dance (the song)

    So when Selena Gomez will find that she is a singer? Even when she will find that singing with a voice weak and poor will gain more fans? Stars Dance comes with one of the biggest jokes of the year, this album easily enter as defining generic music, maybe Selena should devote your time with some theater course to improve his performance, as his music career seems to have no way.

    Não é um mau album, mas também não é fantástico. Começa com ritmos de dança em birthday até undercover, e acaba com uma canção mais tocante, Love Will Remember.

    Poderia dizer maravilhas desse álbum mas parece mais aqueles álbuns que dão de graça no iTunes pra ver se sai do flop, que só tem músicas ruins sabe? Vendeu quase porra nenhuma, e pelo menos tem duas músicas nota 8 que é CAGI e SD fora isso, é um cuzinho doce, não pisou nem no Demi q bela merda viu

    Stars Dance is one of the worst albums I've ever heard in my lifetime. Take the first track for instance. Birthday is an upbeat pop song. First of all, Gomez's vocals have been so dramatically altered with auto-tune that it sounds like she's singing in a tin can. And what is that inappropriate moaning in the background? Birthday is an unwelcoming first track for Stars Dance.

    Now, there    Stars Dance is one of the worst albums I've ever heard in my lifetime. Take the first track for instance. Birthday is an upbeat pop song. First of all, Gomez's vocals have been so dramatically altered with auto-tune that it sounds like she's singing in a tin can. And what is that inappropriate moaning in the background? Birthday is an unwelcoming first track for Stars Dance.

    Now, there are some decent tracks like Slow Down and Stars Dance, the title track. In fact, Stars Dance is amazing. Come & Get It is a catchy Bollywood song, but the chorus is so repetitive and monotone. And what's the message of the song? "When you're ready come and get it?" That's just...no.

    Don't get me started on Like a Champion. That accent she tries to use is horrible. I can't even get through the whole song. There are many boring filler tracks, like Save the Day, Write Your Name, and Forget Forever. Those songs are just a snooze fest. And the worst song of the album...it's B.E.A.T. It's like Selena's TRYING to make the worst song ever made. The chorus is excruciating to listen to. The lyrics are bland and meaningless. It's a sad attempt at a "fun dance track."

    Maybe brainwashed fans think that this is a good album, or that "It is one of the best albums of the year!" It is nowhere close to "one of the best pop albums of the years." And it will never reach the status of a Shakira or "perhaps Rihanna album." It's just another generic Hollywood Records pop album "jam" and full of sh*t. I greatly criticize her for the sickening use of auto-tune. This album is almost as bad as Rebecca Black's "Friday." At least Friday wasn't a genuine and serious song. Selena is trying to shove Stars Dance down people's throats, and millions of people detest this album.

    If her music career is not over yet, then I wish (in vain) that her next album will be bearable enough to listen to.    … Expand

    pior álbum da história do Pop teen. Esse álbum é horrivel, tinha que ter tido nota 46. Esse álbum é mais comercial que todos da selena, sem contar que ela só escreve 1 linha do album e acha que escreveu muito ou teve muito trabalho, ah vá toma no cu. Sem contar que tem músicas sobre sexo, e ela tem muitos fãs (selenojos) com 10 anos. Pra mim artista BOM é aquele que toca instrumentos,pior álbum da história do Pop teen.

    Le pondría más pero realmente es muy básico y ella la verdad es que no canta. Yo creo que ella debería dedicarse a lo que mejor hace y es la actuación porque como cantante da mucha lastima.

    This totally trash. This girl can't sing, dance or act. She shouldn't have a career at all in this industry. A shame some people can't see that. But well, hopefully she quits her career for good.

    Apesar de ter um forte carro-chefe, Stars Dance deixa muito a desejar quanto sua composição. Esperava mais de você mudagirl. Depois de Jelena achamos que você iria hitar, mas não foi chupa-fama o suficiente. Tenta com a Taylor agora Megamente, vamos ver se vai.

    This album is a disgrace to the world of pop music. Selena Gomez is a horror, a terrible singer, a terrible dancer and a lousy actress. Stop making music, Selena, stop. You have no talent for it.

    The whirring Stars Dance is a confident but not aggressively blatant move to a more grown-up pop playing field.

    What's left, then, is a collection of 11 shinily produced pop songs that find Gomez trying on a series of different personalities with her slight-yet-capable vocals.

    Stars Dance is exactly the kind of album one makes in 2013 if you want to keep the pop sugar of the Disney tween cabal but mix in some broken glass and a club bathroom nosebleed.
