Selena Gomez

Disney seems to be one of the biggest stars factories when it comes to children, or shall I say teens! Miley Cyrus and now Selena Gomez whose popularity has increased ever since she first starred as the main character in the Disney TV Show, Wizards of Waverly Place. Before starring in the Wizards of Waverly Place show, Selena Gomez starred as an extra in various other television programs, Barney & Friends being one of the more popular ones. She then auditioned for the show and got the main role, Alex who is a wannabe wizard after finding out that her parents have magical power. The show is currently in the middle of Season 2 and its popularity is increasing. Remember last year around the same time when Hannah Montana, the TV show was starting up? The history with regard to this seems to be repeating as even though Miley Cyrus didn't become popular overnight, Selena Gomez is following up closely and who knows where her popularity will be in a year from now. My two daughters are absolutely crazy about both the Hannah Montana and Wizard of Waverly place episodes and even I am inclined to watch, more often the latter whenever new episodes come out. I guess the characters have such a good personality and they make you feel as if you are actually involved, in the TV. It appears that Disney have finally figured out that quality works over quantity and here I am referring to shows like Just Raven or the Suite Life which have lots of episodes but are of minimalistic quality, and the actors aren't that great either. I therefore congratulate Disney for picking great actors such as Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus for these two shows and it looks like their change in 'management' has definitely helped raise the fan numbers.
