History YMMV / SelenaGomez

* FaceOfTheBand: Tell me, can you name any of the other members of "Selena Gomez & The Scene"?

** The lyrics of "Birthday" are [[DoubleEntendre highly questionable]], And there are various [[TheImmodestOrgasm moans]] peppered throughout the song.

* OlderThanTheyLook: No Selena was not born in 2002, she may look like she was, but she was born in 1992.

* FandomRivalry: Her fans and Music/MileyCyrus's fans don't really get along, though both artists are good friends.

* CriticalDissonance: Her three albums with the Scene and ''Stars Dance'' received middling reviews from critics but still sold extremely well, with all of the former went Gold.

* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: "Good for You"; everything from the production to her singing is just so beautiful and flows so fluidly together, although Music/ASAPRocky's verse might have killed the flow a bit. This is probably why there's a version without him in in.

* CriticalDissonance: Her three album with the Scenes and ''Stars Dance'' received middling reviews from critics but still sold extremely well, with all of the former went Gold.

** Since their final break-up, her fanbase and Music/JustinBeiber's fanbase have been feuding. Even when they were together though, it wasn't uncommon for Selena's fanbase to be hostile to Beiber's due to his massive HateDom and HypeBacklash, while she was herself targeted by his fanbase for YokoOhNo reasons.

** IAmTheBand: On closer inspection, the band itself has no credits, writing/production otherwise on ''any'' of their albums. Selena is the only member with any credits at all, so essentially the band is for touring/promotion purposes, most likely to make her distinct from Creator/DisneyChannel's other pop star, Music/MileyCyrus. Selena and her fans do not count her time with The Scene as part of her solo discography and consider it a separate project and a full band.
* FanCommunityNickname: Selenators.

* CriticalDissonance: Averted for her albums with her band due to insignificant sale, but played completely straight with her solo album ''Stars Dance''. It received middling reviews from critics but still selling extremely well.

%%* CriticalDissonance: Averted for her albums with her band due to insignificant sale, but played completely straight with her solo album ''Stars Dance''.

** ''Rare'' continues the trend, getting higher marks than ''Revival'', with critics declaring it her best album.

* CrackPairing: For a while there was a rumor going around that on the set of ''Film/SpringBreakers'' Gomez hooked up with ''Gucci Mane''.
** There are also rumors of her being with [[Music/{{Zedd}} Anton Zaslavski]].
* CriticalDissonance: Averted for her albums with her band due to insignificant sale, but played completely straight with her solo album ''Stars Dance''.

* LesYay: Her relationships with Music/DemiLovato have had their moments of this. The fall out they had in 2009 merely served to further fuel it. Now that they're back to being [=BFFs=], this even gets better.
** There are also fandoms for her and Music/MileyCyrus as well as Music/TaylorSwift (known as Saylor as not to confused with [[Creator/TaylorLautner another Taylor]]).
** The music video for "Bad Liar" ends with the teen giving a LongingLook at a photo of her (female) gym teacher. Interestingly, [[ActingForTwo both are played by Selena Gomez]].

* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: "Good for You"; everything from the production to her singing is just so beautiful and flows so fluidly together, although Music/ASAPRocky's verse might have killed the flow a bit.

** Rock God is also hardly wholesome.
** She doesn't suffer from this quite as badly as good friend Taylor Swift, though.
** If you ask what Whiplash is about, most people will respond with "sex".
** "Birthday" as well. Not only are the lyrics [[DoubleEntendre highly questionable]], there's also various [[TheImmodestOrgasm moans]] peppered throughout the song.

** If you thought "Slow Down" was about slowing down a song, think again.

* TheWoobie: Her being with Music/JustinBieber turned quite a few of Justin's fans to wish death on her for no reason other than their relationship infuriating them.
** Also the fact that she later posted screenshots of texts from him being a complete prick to her after they broke up (circa the same time his house was subject to a DEA raid) including hounding her to get back with him, and sending her unsolicited pictures of his genitals.

* TheScrappy: Selena herself is this to a majority of critics compare to her pop contemporary because of her poor body of work and lacking personality.

** ''Revival'' is this for a majority of critics compare to her previous album as a solo artist.

* CriticalDissonance: Averted for her albums with her band due to insignificant sale, but play completely straight with her solo album ''Stars Dance''

* EarWorm: A lot of her songs are pretty catchy: "Love You Like A Love Song", "Naturally", "Off The Chain" and "Round & Round" to name a few.
** "Whiplash" on her third album, which was written by Music/BritneySpears.
** "Come And Get It" as well.
*** It sounds like something out of a Bollywood film.
** "Birthday", dear Lord.
** "Falling Down", "Summer's Not Hot", "Slow Down, "Tell Me Something I Don't Know"" and "Live Like There's No Tomorrow" as well.
** ''I just wanna look good for you, good for you, oh, oh''.
** Her collaboration with Music/{{Zedd}}, "I Want You To Know", is also very catchy.
** Her hits "Same Old Love" and "Hands to Myself" are very hooky.
** "You got a fetish for my love/I push you out and you come right back..."

* YokoOhNo: Got a lot of hate from ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' {{fangirl}}s for briefly dating Creator/TaylorLautner. They don't refer to her by name anymore and only address her as "Slutena Homez". She is now receiving hate and death threats from the batshit insane Music/JustinBieber fangirls. [[GenderFlip Though it's not like Justin Bieber isn't getting any hate either...]]

* SweetDreamsFuel: "Good for You"; everything from the production to her singing is just so beautiful and flows so fluidly together, although Music/ASAPRocky's verse might have killed the flow a bit.

** The music video for "Bad Liar" ends with the teen giving a LongingLook at a photo of her (female) gym teacher. Interestingly, ActingForTwo both are played by Selena Gomez]].

* LesYayShipping: She has gotten tons and tons of that with former friend Music/DemiLovato, and the fall out they had in 2009 merely served to further fuel it. Now that they're back to being [=BFFs=], this even gets better.
** There are also fandoms for her and Miley as well as Music/TaylorSwift (known as Saylor as not to confused with [[Creator/TaylorLautner another Taylor]]).
* LesYay: Her relationships with both Miley and Demi have had their moments of this.
