Selena Gomez & The Scene: "Who Says"

Selena Gomez & The Scene: "Who Says"


Summary: In the video Selena Gomez leaves a photo shoot (in what appears to be New York) and then wanders around the city barefoot while lyrics to her song pop up in the taxi, in the sky, and in the cityscape. The song is about accepting yourself and loving yourself. Selena sings about how she may not be what everyone else considers to be beautiful, but she considers herself to be beautiful and perfect just the way she is. She calls into question anyone that says otherwise, as we are all in control of our own self-image.

Review: Selena Gomez is a popular tween actress right now, starring in Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place", a popular tween show. Tween girls used to like her a lot more before she started dating Justin Bieber. Despite Selena's Bieber transgressions, her song is still a hit, as I hear girls singing (or attempting to sing it) in the hallways. I think the song is a little redundant and cheesy, and the video is pretty much boring. I also think it is ironic that she's singing about not being that beautiful when she's Selena Gomez... obviously she's pretty. But I can see why tween girls would like the song, as the tween years are awkward ones. It is nice to have anthems for loving yourself in spite of our flaws and differences.
