I just put it on so I’m not judging something I just didn’t listen to but I’m kinda surprised it’s rated higher than Dancing With The Devil? I just think that’s such a great album and Demi is such a better singer lol. This isn’t even meant as shade at Selena, just genuine surprise. I don’t know shit about how music reviews work tho.

I just kinda feel like you can't compare. IMO they are the newer generation Britney vs Christina. Selena is definitely more style over substance with limited vocal ability but great producers. Demi has a great voice but is very hit or miss sonically. Selena sticks with her guns in a way that Britney always does. Demi is all over the place just like Christina but she's more willing to take risks.

tldr, they don't compare other than being disney girls at the same time lol

Thank you for putting this in a 90’s frame, apparently that’s how I understand things 😅

I agree with this for the most part, but I have to add that Demi also has had (and frankly still does) shit people working for her who simply just do NOT have her as a priority. That makes a big difference in how she's perceived and that does affect reviews, perception, etc.

(I say this as someone who owns every Selena album too.)

So far, four metacritic's certified critics reviewed Revelación. And it took awhile until she got the four needed reviews to get a score. I assume fewer are interested in a spanish project. Demi's album got seven reviews already, from 100 score to 60, while Selena's are between 91 and 70.

I think Demi's album is a bit more divisive, while Revelacion is more generally acceptable.
