Selena Gomez Goes Deep (VIDEO)

Selena Gomez has something on her mind. It’s been stewing while she put words to her thoughts. It’s like watching Russians try to karaoke Blinded by the Light. Gomez welled up with tears in Jakarta as she spoke to kindness and the human condition on stage. Her fans screamed because hearing her speak so guilelessly enhanced the youthful quality so many love to tug to in the evenings after prayers. After the concert, Gomez went deep on social media with her cosmic confusion:

Tonight I felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music. I’ve never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or video could define me. I’m stagnant, I stay still and don’t just sit with myself first and ask ‘is this where I am, whole heartedly?’ I’ve always told the truth, I’m always true to my word, I’ve shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally.

Mickey Rourke’s wrestler grappled with less psychic challenges. It’s weird to see a girl who was made into a grown up singer by sheer force of publicity construct lament her lack of connection to the material. You’re performing childish limericks set to regurgitated music none of which you had any hand in creating. So there’s that. It’s not like the guy hawking stolen DVDs on the subway needs to feel he’s only pushing out the solid James Cameron efforts.

When you rob people of their childhood by putting them to work at five they tend to get their teen angst later in life. Your Rumspringa happened to be letting Justin Bieber fuck you while he called you mommy in a Canadian accent and cried. You’re going to be lost for a while. Keep the main streets in Jakarta. ISIS does bad things to girls with successful mall tours in the place of hymens.
