I think that for much of their separate careers Selena and Demi (Lovato) have been perceived by many to have pretty much an equal footing.
They are now a long way in to adulthood but it was always inevitable a point in time would be reached when one of them would pull in front, expand upon their audience, attracting a wider demographic than what they set out with at the start of their separate journeys in the entertainment industry.
I don’t think anyone serious would argue Selena is a match for Demi’s superior vocal range, but against all odds Selena has turned out to have an instinctive, almost chameleon like quality which first began to reveal itself in her more left field music and visuals.
This same quality has now inexplicably expanded in to her acceptance by the international film community which includes some of the most artistic and cultured people in entertainment. The indie side of which is a fertile and creative breeding ground for any entertainer who seeks artistic growth.
I’m genuinely fascinated as to where Selena is heading now as it appears she has a very talented manager and Selena is consequently now on the precipice of delving more deeply in to the artistic side of the industry and abandoning the formulaic, strictly commercial hamster wheel she has been on for so long.
