Such a great reaction, guys. Tejano music was a male dominated genre until Selena broke down those barriers. Selena was Mexican-American. Even though she sang in Spanish, she couldn't speak it very well. She was murdered by the president of her fan page... Yolonda. She is still missed, very much.
To be exact, Yolanda was more than president of her fan club. she was manager of her clothing boutiques. She was embezzling money from the stores. When Selena went to talk to her about it at a hotel in Corpus Christie, Yolanda panicked and shot her hitting her in the shoulder and severing a major artery from which she died a few hours later..
Thank you guys for trying and being utterly careful and respectful. Speaking for the Latin community, it still hurts to think she is gone. Selena means so much to the Latin community. 😢
oh god wasn’t expecting this one at all ! this is such a wonderful surprise, hope you guys get into her songs (english and spanish) she was so powerful and iconic
Selena was a third generation Mexican American. She started singing only in English but her dad advice that it would be better to connect to her roots. She eventually found a lot of success on the Spanish music world but she always wanted to go back into singing English. She was in the process of recording an English album when she got shot. She only got to record four songs for her English album.
I can’t believe I was today years old when I found out you guys reacted to Selena ! I started watching your channel bc of the Beyonce journey and knowing you guys also reacted to Selena is a huge bonus! Pls do more of her live performances ❤
Netflix has a series about her life and Jeniffer Lopez played her on a movie about her life also. My favorite Selena song is "No me queda mas". "I could fall in love" is her hit in English.
This is what we call a cumbia. She was married to Chris who played guitar in her band. Her brother AB wrote most of her songs. He played guitar in the band, he is the one with glasses. Jennifer Lopez actually stayed with her family for a couple of weeks before she did the movie so she could learn about Selena, her sister would say that she reminded her so much of Selena she didn’t know if she was just acting (trying to get into character) or if her character was just like her sister’s. I was 2 blocks away from the hotel where she was shot the day it happened.😢 she was an amazing person.
This one made me cry I grow up with Selena’s music she was and still is huge over here in Latin America I just love her so much, she will always be missed
Selena’s older brother wrote this and MANY of her other songs,her husband Chris played guitar,today would’ve been their 31st wedding anniversary,he had to mourn her on what would’ve been their 3rd anniversary in 1995,he formed a band with friends later on and he co wrote a song in her memory called “Best I Can”,should check that out.
She was so young had so much life to live her and her husband Chris were talking about trying to start a family and it never happened because she died she accomplished a lot though in 23yrs won tejano music award when she was 15 then got married at 20 had her own boutique at 22 she also got a Grammy and got to perform at the Houston astrodome and had started her English album had a diamond album all before being killed by a trusted friend well more like obsessed fan but to Selena she was a trusted friend after her death they found out she went platinum she would be 52 this month had she still been alive her birthday is April 16 year 1971 a couple months older then my mom my mom went to a Selena concert one of her last concerts performing at the fair in Fresno I was born 4yrs after she passed away it’s sad she is missed ❤️🩹🎶💃🏽
Okay first of all, shes been speaking and singing in Spanish way before the age of 19. Baila Esta Cumbia 1987, i believe and several others were produced by AB QUINTINANILLA III her brother.. SELENA was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. She taught her self Spanish by watching Mexican soap operas. Her museum is in Corpus, and ran by her Sister Suzette. I'm a HUGE selena fan an have her merch. Sadly, the Houston Astrodome concert was her last TELEVISED concert, this month marked her breaking attendance anniversary records at the Astrodome!!! She actually out sold MICHAEL JACKSON...her music is derived, from a mix of Tex-Mex, Queen of Tejano, some Zydeco and r and b music, enjoy!!! She was 23 in March when she was murdered...FYI, SELENA wrote Bidi bidi bom bomb, it was her only sing that she wrote, with the help of Pete Astudio...
She has the IT factor that draws you in especially her smile. Amazing talent taken too soon. But her vocals and smile is why she is still loved to this date and the future!
Another Mexican American artist you may have heard is Richie Valens! He’s famous for La Bamba but also some more English songs from the 50’s like We Belong Together and Oh Donna. His actual last name is Valenzuela but he changed it because well, what white people would listen to him in the 50’s😅 Don McLean wrote the song “American Pie” and it references Ritchie’s death in a plane crash along with other singers, as “The Day The Music Died”
She started in Tex Mex style but she soon moved to other Mexican regional Styles and then more Latino. That means that the bigger she got the brisket her audience so if course she had to explore more styles into her music. She grew up as an American kid and didn't even speak Spanish but her father made her learn songs phonetically. She would struggle a lot in Spanish interviews.
That performance was the largest in the Houston Astrodome's history. The record she broke was from the year before and it was also her record. At the time of her death 3 weeks later, she was 23 and was well on her way to being as big as a Madonna, or a Whitney or a Mariah. You should listen to her english cross over songs, but they just aren't as emotional.
She was nuestra reina, our queen. She was of the peolle, she came from us. Her wave made it seem as she was waving at you. The hardest mexcian would get his girl to dance when Selena songs came on. The world is a lot less bright without her
Her name is pronounced Selina, that's the way she pronounced it because she was Mexican-American. Tejano, is Spanish for Texan. So Tejano music is music by Mexican-Amercan Texans. I live in Houston, Tx but born and raised in Laredo, Tx, I am third generation Mexican-Amercan, so I have listened to this music my whole life. There were some female artist in the genere but never at the very top only men. She was 23, at this concert. Her birthday is April 16, which is now known in Texas as Selena day, by then governor George W Bush. Tejano music, even though is in Spanish it is considered Amercan music because it is music born in Texas and made by Texans, who speak Spanish. It is a mix of, Mexican, and German music. As the genre grew and more amercan generes grew as well Tejano has polkas, cumbias boleros. Now these type of music you can even here rock, pop, mariachi, and R&B mixed into it as well. Selena first learned her Spanish songs phonetically, by 19 or 20 years of age she began teaching herself Spanish, to be able to speak to her Spanish speaking audience. She was a very smart young woman.
i was so relieved when i read legal professionals saying that, she will most likely be denied for parole because she never admitted what she did, and to have parole you have to actually feel remorse and accept your crimes, and that b** still denies everything.
@@pamela483 I also heard they don't want to parole her because she's had many death threats ( could be a rumor, but I don't doubt she's had death threats!)
This is the last song of her last ever performance. She died a month after this. Y’all should definitely react to ‘Disco Medley’ which is the opening of this concert and ‘Si Una Vez’ from the middle of the concert, these three songs best show her range.
There was this very popular show in Mexico and it played in the states on the Spanish channel, it called Johnny Canales Show I think. He showcased bands on this show, well Selena used to perform there when she was a child, he interviewed her and she did not speak Spanish. They said she basically learned Spanish phonetically. Also I was there for this performance, upper deck at the astrodome a 10ish year old kid only there because my mom was huge on Selena.
This song is cumbia and her brother wrote it. Selena's employee was embezzling from her, Selena confronted her, and then was murdered her. The employee was also president of her fan club. Selena was only 23.
I agree with others posting comments. Please do the Disco one.. you won't be disappointed.. She came for our State Fair back in the 90's she was pretty big then , she and her group played in the Fiesta Parade. Then at the State Fair later on that night.
Selena was shot by a lady named Yolanda saldivar/ someone who worked for Selena, but it started when Yolanda started working for Selena, Yolanda was obsessed with her but a while after she started working for Selena she stole some money from Selena’s boutique and from selena. So they found out so Selena to Yolanda to give her all the money back so they both went to the same place corpus crispis Texas so they met, selena went with her husband but turns out Yolanda didn’t give her back all the money,so they met again this time Selena went alone and that same place boom she got shot so she ran for her life to the lobby and she told the people o lock the door because she was scared Yolanda was going to shoot her again. But then... she said her last words last wich was “Yolanda saldivar”
Tex-Mex because of the Mexican cumbia style. Cumbia is originally from Colombia. Selena was Texan from Corpus Cristi. With all due respect i think many more people will consider Shakira as the Latin American Madonna
U guys are nt going to believe me and u don’t have too Selena’s mom was from Wapato Washington she graduated here we’re I did the neighbors are relatives of Selena’s mom Selena’s dad is from Texas they use to take my neighbor out to eat they were first cousins with the grandma neighbor they use to tell me not to say anything when Selena’s parents would take her aunt out to eat and Selena’s parents are jehova s wittiness her relatives still live there and are my moms neighbor s I don’t live there anymore and and Selena’s aunt died already too
Ryan, looking away, focusing on phone or whatever, appears as if you're not interested in the actual videoyou are reacting to. If i am completely wrong, i apologize. But ive watched other reactions where people are clearly distracted by their phones and it feels forced just for the "likes" alone.
You’re wrong. Completely I’m either reading English lyrics or researching as I listen. Or my wife messaged me. And I’m sorry. My wife is more important than Selena

Yolanda Saldivar, the president of her fan club is who murdered Selena over $30,000. She is set for parole in 2024, but will NOT get out...
Thank you guys for trying and being utterly careful and respectful. Speaking for the Latin community, it still hurts to think she is gone. Selena means so much to the Latin community. 😢
Fun facts- I was at this Astrodome performance. I was like 10 months old
Best performance is DISCO MEDLEY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She died just a few weeks after this performance. She will always be queen of cumbia/ Tejano music

Selena is/was extraordinary in every way. I love watching folks discover this about her.
Disco melody is a must guys!!!
St. Selena is the unofficial patron Saint of Texas. We will never be over what happened.

Sorry I know this was a year ago but I just subscribed to your channel. Selena loved Donna Summers she was a big inspiration to her singing style.
She was 23 when she was murdered
She was 22no 23

FYI Ryan actually pronounced Selena’s name right. Great reaction 😊
I knew it !
Shes Mexican American. Her father taught her to speak spanish when she was around 8. He told her to make it she had to be authentic.
Her killer could get parole in a few years which makes me nauseous. But she still denies she did anything wrong,she’s a pathological liar.
i was so relieved when i read legal professionals saying that, she will most likely be denied for parole because she never admitted what she did, and to have parole you have to actually feel remorse and accept your crimes, and that b** still denies everything.

Selena❤
You have to check out Bidi Bidi Bom Bom from the same 1995 astrodome concert!
The song translates to Like the flower you have me (your love withered).
We love Selena! She is an amazing artist tragically murdered!
This song is cumbia and her brother wrote it. Selena's employee was embezzling from her, Selena confronted her, and then was murdered her. The employee was also president of her fan club. Selena was only 23.

Gotta watch the movie
SELENA es la reina de la MÚSICA ❤ de todo el mundo.
You should see her 2 performances of 70’s sing to see her talent! Also both from her last concert. So sad.😭😩
She was beyonce before beyonce even exists. She is the real queen. We love you and we miss you. ;C
She was 23 year old but that was her last concert at Houston Texas on February/26/1995 and got shot and killed on march/31/1995
Disco medley please her live version of disco medley
🎶❤️🎶
She said we broke the record tonight because she had a full house of 65,000 at the astrodome. Only she and Michael Jackson accomplished this.
She was killed a little over a month after this performance.
This was this was her last performance before she was murdered at 23 years old😢
She was American! 🇺🇸
The Queen of TEX 🇺🇸 MEX 🇲🇽 SELENA

She is Mexican but didn’t know Spanish and had to learn it
Tex-Mex because of the Mexican cumbia style.
Cumbia is originally from Colombia.
Selena was Texan from Corpus Cristi.
With all due respect i think many more people will consider Shakira as the Latin American Madonna
She was 23 years old when she died and was buried in that same outfit she’s wearing.
Ritchie valens also latin American didn't know Spanish when recorded la bamba
Méxicoamericano
Selena was mainly big in Texas tbh
😔😔😔😔😔😔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐
She would have been a huge success had she lived to cross over into the USA as a English singer
It's nit like she learned Spanish when she was a grown woman, she was still a kid, already knew some spanish but had a heavy accent
Can u guys react to her performing “don’t stop till u get enough/when I think of you” it’s really good
she is mexican american she speaks spanish barely but she perfected it
U guys are nt going to believe me and u don’t have too Selena’s mom was from Wapato Washington she graduated here we’re I did the neighbors are relatives of Selena’s mom Selena’s dad is from Texas they use to take my neighbor out to eat they were first cousins with the grandma neighbor they use to tell me not to say anything when Selena’s parents would take her aunt out to eat and Selena’s parents are jehova s wittiness her relatives still live there and are my moms neighbor s I don’t live there anymore and and Selena’s aunt died already too

Jennifer Lopez plays Selena in the movie. The woman that murdered her was the head of her fan club. Selena’s dad discovered she was stealing money
Selena was killed by her fan club manager who was obsessed with Selena but was stealing money from Selena as well
She didn't take off she locked herself in her truck in the parking lot
Losing Selena is like losing Beyonce
Shewas 22 wend she was murdered 💔

I’m either reading English lyrics or researching as I listen. Or my wife messaged me. And I’m sorry. My wife is more important than Selena
Why are you saying her name like that? 😅😅 "Sa lin ah" sounds crazy
Try "Suh Lee nuh" instead
For God's sake can't you pronounce Selena's name the right way
Welp
