In concert: Selena Gomez

Web Posted: 02/08/2010 12:00 CST
 
Attendance: The AT&T Center was a sellout for the Selena Gomez concert. It seats 16,500.

The show: The team color of choice was pink on Super Sunday at a sold-out AT&T Center, where Selena Gomez played the post-rodeo concert. The screaming never really stopped once Gomez, the 17-year-old star of the Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place,” took the stage and launched into “Kiss & Tell,” the title song from her debut CD. As played by Gomez's four-guy band the Scene, songs like “Crush,” “Falling Down” and the Radio Disney hit “Naturally” were less slick but punchier than on the CD, with a big drum and keyboard sound that recalled '80s new wave.

Cover girl: Gomez was prom-night chic, dancing around the edge of the circular stage in a shimmering white-and-silver dress and sparkly black vest — perhaps a nod to the Spurs. (Gomez, who grew up near Dallas, is a fan.) She spiced up her 14-song set with a few covers, including the Backstreet Boys' “I Want It That Way”; Katy Perry's “Hot N Cold”; and the show-closer “Magic,” the old Pilot hit she sings on the “Wizards of Waverly Place” soundtrack. The one for the highlight reel was a spirited version of “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” which Gomez, who was named after the Tejano superstar, dedicated to Selena.

This article fails to mention that Nick Jonas was there, watching Selena!
