It's sung by the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place star, and is about being taken seriously and living your dreams -- even if with an air of stubbornness and childish wit. It's a spunky single, but suitable for any age.

Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the popularity of teenage TV stars who also have music careers like Gomez, Miley Cyrus, and Raven-Symone. Do you think these stars would be as successful without the backing of a big name like Disney? Do you think these stars have real, lasting talent, or is their success related to the media hype that surrounds them?

What's the story?

What's the story?
"TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW," sung by Selena Gomez, is a spunky single about living your dreams from the movie soundtrack of Another Cinderella Story starring The Disney Channel's Gomez and Drew Seely. The movie will be released on DVD September 16, and will also debut on ABC Family in late 2008.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
This is a peppy pop-rock track, that starts with thumping drum beats and hand claps, then features the 16-year-old Gomez singing in her sweet but sassy voice "Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling/I shouldn't believe it/the dreams that I'm dreaming." The chorus rants "Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know," infectious almost to the point of annoying, but sure to have you singing it the rest of the day. The message is fun and feisty, and proves Gomez is more than just a pretty face and Demi Lovato's BFF.

MOST ANNOYING SONG EVER!!!
This song is way too repetitive. Plus, Selena Gomez's singing voice sounds way to fake and just bad. So that makes this song even worse.

this is so annoying
bad annoying song that repeats the same old stuff. it is like "you're one in a million, one in a million, i know u r a chillion" and that stuff whatever. yes it may have positive message. if u want a song that repeats same old things but catchy, get "I Know You Want Me (Callo Ocho)."

It's got a bit of a catchy beat, but overall it's an okay song. Selena doesn't have the strongest vocals, but she's okay.
