Yee-Haw!! Sel Rocks The Rodeo in San Antonio

Hey there Fan,

Our girl Sel and The Scene rocked a ful house yesterday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. The AT&T Center was a sellout for the Selena Gomez concert. It seats 16,500.
Selena Gomez gets into the groove as she belts out “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” one of Selena Quintanilla’s biggest hits during her concert on Sunday night (February 7) at the San Antonio Rodeo.

The 17-year-old actress who was named after the slain Latina popstar has once said, “My dad and family loved her. So when my mother got pregnant with me, he wanted to name me Selena, after her. As I got older and could understand why I was named after her, I went to go visit her grave and where she used to perform.”
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.

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.

Here are a few videos from the concert. I think Sel was in rare form and came prepared with the intent of blowing away the audience.
