Selena Gomez at Musikfest: Don't dismiss her as just Disney

Don't dismiss Selena Gomez as another Disney TV star cashing in by doing music.

Yes, she has hoards of passionate 'tween fans – her sold-out show Saturday at Musikfest's 6,500-ticket RiverPlace main stage was packed with them – who know her from her show "Wizards of Waverly Place" and Disney Channel movies.

But her concert was a legitimate musical outing that, while giving nods to those fans, positions her far more in the Go-Go's/Bangles girl pop-rock vein of the 1980s. Think a more thoughtful Katy Perry (whose "Hot N Cold" (which she covered convincingly) or a more pure pop Taylor Swift (whom she outsang and her band outplayed on a cover of "You Belong with Me").
