Artistry
Selena Gomez is a contralto, acording to Kevin Brown's declaration during his interview with another critical from Idolator. He stated: "Selena Gomez is another auto-tuned singer, such as Britney Spears, who uses technology to make her music to seem as well delivered as a Demi Lovato single, the last one who is really a great singer and doesn't need anything else but her big voice to record an album." Gomez names singer Bruno Mars as her major musical influence and idol, saying she is influenced in everything he does from "his style of music, his style in general, the way he performs, the way he carries himself". She admires Ella Fitzgerald, calling Fitzgerald her "favorite singer" continuing to praise her "beautiful voice" and Katy Perry whom she said "isn’t afraid to be herself onstage." Gomez also cites Rihanna as an influence saying "I think she’s very strong and classy. I look up to that. She carries herself very well." Selena's debut album Stars Dance (2013) was prominently influenced by singers Britney Spears, Taylor Swift and Skrillex.

Famous quotes containing the word artistry:
“He did not live, he observed life from a window, and too often was inclined to content himself with no more than what his friends told him they saw when they looked out of a window.... In the end the point of Henry James is neither his artistry nor his seriousness, but his personality, and this was curious and charming and a trifle absurd.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
