Selena Gomez is bringing down the house with the South American leg of her tour and her album, "When the Sun Goes Down" just went gold in Mexico. While her hard work and tenacity finally paid off when she first embarked on her "We Own the Night" tour, it looked as if she might not make it. Her reviews were so-so and the audience was full of some of the youngest kids ever at a pop concert. That's changed and Selena's on the path that she's dreamed about.
Selena said late last year that she wasn't planning on recording any new music in 2012, but she didn't see the success yet that she'd enjoy while touring in South America. At the time she decided to put a hold on any new music, she was far from the fame that her boyfriend Justin Bieber enjoys and the road to get there looked really long. It looks like that road just got shorter. And while she's not anywhere near the "Bieber Fever" height in the music scene, with a record going gold and the rave reviews coming in, it's now looks like a practical goal.
Instead of the music, Selena signed on to a few movies. Apparently, she is trying her hand out at some serious acting, but is this her first love, or does she enjoy the music world? Selena might have jumped the gun when she decided to put her new music production on hold. Sure, she's discouraged at first, but she didn't give herself enough time to work through the kinks and get herself to the confidence level she's at today.
After the success of this latest tour, Selena needs to reconsider the direction she wants to go in. While it's not an easy road, it's open for her and she can navigate it to fame if she just stays with it. After a gold record she can't stop there, why wouldn't she strike while the iron's still hot?
