Selena Gomez is quickly turning into a Kelly Clarkson-esque cover queen. The pint-sized TV star has tackled everyone from the likes of Katy Perry to well, Selena, and now she’s returning to her Disney roots by recording a track on Disneymania 7 (out tomorrow). On the compilation of tunes where singers put a fresh, contemporary spin on songs from past Disney classics, Selena lends some mature vocals for a cover of “Trust In Me,” from the 1967 animated movie The Jungle Book. Who did it better, Selena Gomez or an animated snake? Listen to it below.
Selena Gomez – “Trust In Me”
Selena and her producers were given a lot of creative room for reinterpretation—the original song was barely a song at all, but a few verses of talk-singing by a male voiceover artist. Although we think Selena’s seductive cooing is a bit too sensual for a 17-year old (and a Disney album aimed at pre-teens), we’re really digging the seductive arrangement, and Selena pulls off a creamy vocal performance better than she does mimicking Ke$ha’s dance moves. We’d feel better making this song our new sex jam if only Selena was a year older.
“Trust In Me” sounds like it could be the theme to a James Bond Jr. film, but it actually reminds us of Suzanne Vega’s slow, dreamy tune “Caramel” (which was featured in the trailer for the Mike Nichols film Closer). Listen to it below and see if you can spot the similarities between both tracks.

I'm taking it you're a Selena fan, so if you reread the post, you'll find that I actually quite liked the song.
Just listen to the got damn song… why make a big deal out of it
I love it!!
it's wonderful.
the media is just redundant.
go selena!!!!
i like the song…its definitely a bit more mature from the whole disney scene but in case ppl havnt heard selena's songs they really arnt that disney…they have a mature side to them….so its not really that much of a big deal

Some people will just pick any little thing bitch about, don't they.I wish all these critics would just @#$%& off. Selen, don't let any of these haters get to you, they have no lives. You are awesome. I will always support and respect you no matter what.
Selena's cover is without question about sex. You can tell because Selena clearly replaces the word “Around” in the original song with the word “Aroused”. Listen closely.
Good job, Selena!
stfu shes fine.
WoW! it's true she does replace that word! but what ever you guys are just giving her hard time because she's Latina!
frate!SEL e my idol si nu exagereaza.avea aici 17 ani.ceva impotriva?
The person who wrote this article is a tard. =D
Seductive cooing aimed at pre-teens? It’s the exact same lyrics as the disney movie song and nobody thought that was sexual
If they’re big enough, they’re old enough.
Seventeen is way way ready for sex. What do you think all those girls are doing running around in thong underwear and the tiniest, tightest T-tops and super-low-rise jeans? You’re in denial (meaning you finger wagging moralists and outraged parents). You just don’t want to face the FACT that these teenies are getting it on left and right like crazed rabbits.
