Is Selena Gomez a positive role model for young fans?

I hear all the time, "Oh, Selena Gomez is such a good influence on young girls". I would beg to differ, based on the lyrics of her song "Come and Get It", which is pretty much a "come hither" invitation to men and encourages the objectification of women (and I'm not even a feminist).

So, thoughts? Do you think she's a good role model? If yes, please explain why. I'm indifferent to her, but I don't see anything she's doing that makes her positively influential. Thanks!

    Personally i don't way how much of a role model is by their lyrics and way it by their actions. Someone probably wrote that song for her non the less. Personally she seems pretty straight laced. No drugs,alcohol,partying,shenanigans. Is she the best role model out there no,but really who is. Over all she seems like a decent one.

    Objectification of women not entirely. If you want to see objectification look at rap songs which show women as nothing more then a sex symbol and a prostitute. Come and Get It is more like she's this girl who likes the guy so much she wants him to come at here. "Come Hither" as you've said. Is it objectifying women as a sex symbol,sure but I've seen and heard worse.

    i think she use to be a great role model but ever since she started dating Justin Bieber her reputation has been slipping a litte. ironically i was thinking th same thing about come and get it earlier today. Shes still positively influential on children but nowadays she has that occasional suggestive story pop up about her in the media.

    She has such a clean image, that people assume she is. But really, she's a brat.

    i think so, she used to be homeless when she was younger for a while and she was still able to make her way to the top.
