This is a medley of disco songs. I Will Survive is originally by Gloria Gaynor Funky Town- Lipps Inc. Last Dance -Donna Summer The Hustle- Van McCoy On The Radio- Donna Summer
The songs she sang in order were: “I Will Survive” (Gloria Gaynor); “Funkytown” (Lipps Inc.); “Last Dance” (Donna Summer); “The Hustle” (Van McCoy); and “On the Radio” (Donna Summer). Donna Summer would be great for Female Fridays, she was the Queen of Disco and, along with the Bee Gees, epitomized the disco sound. I’m not really familiar with many of Selena’s song but I believe one of the more mainstream ones was “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.”
I've never forgotten the review I read in the NME at the time of the Lipps Inc single. A panel of music journalists were reviewing the singles together in a sort of panel that week. The review ended with the exchange: "yes, but what does it say about the state of the world?" "it says it's a funky town".
Songs and the originals from this performance in order that she covered 1. I Will Survive by Gloria Gayner 2. Funkytown by Lipps Inc 3. Last Dance by Donna Summer 4. The Hustle by Van McCoy 5. On the Radio by Donna Summer I am here for the Selena uploads 😍
Yeah I can’t believe these ppl don’t know disco sshhheeessshhheee my daughter knows these songs and Selena’s and she was born in 2001. She wishes she was born in the 70’s lol…
@@finalscorce I didn’t know a lot of Spanish music and I’m part Mexican. It’s what type of music you grow up with my dad loved country so I grew up on that my grandmother loved Elvis and I also grew up on that. Not until I got older that my mom started playing Spanish music.
"Como la flor", "Bidi Bidi bom bom", "La carcacha", "TechnoCumbia", "El chico del apartamento 512", "Si una vez", "Baila esta Cumbia", and many more 💜👑 hugs from 🇻🇪 👋🏽
This was Selena's last live concert before she was killed a woman that she considered a friend and started off as the president of her fan club. Her name is not worth mentioning and she's serving life in prison for taking this talented young lady. She had just crossed over from performing Tex Mex music. Check out Missing You and Dreaming of You 🌹❣️🙏
Also!, her husband- guitar player Chris Perez said that he would try not to watch her while on stage because he’d mess up🥰she was absolutely breathtaking!
Gloria Gaynor sang the original. This was always Selena's tribute to the music she loved. I wish she hadn't been taken so soon. She would be amazing still!
Gloria's performance in the late 1970s was seminal and has been featured not only by Selena in 1994 but in several TV shows and movies. The male voices you heard was in the Keanu Reeves movie, "The Replacements." I was actually at this record selling show at the Houston Astrodome for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The audience was rather surprised that she chose to perform that disco medley as she had never made any such performance before. Later during the show, she performed some of her many hits in Tejano music which had made her famous in Texas and across the southwest but also made her a huge celebrity across Latin America as well. Many Years went by before another woman, Shakira, had such an impact. Two weeks later Selena was back in Houston doing a small nightclub show and I was, again, there but instead of being in the audience, I was assigned to her security detail as I was a Houston Deputy Constable. It was cold and drizzly that night and we walked her from her bus around the back of the venue to the other side for her safety. I put my patrol jacket upon her, coming and going, for two shows that night. During one show, while I stood by the stage right, she stopped singing for one moment, looked down to the right and between two speakers and smiled at me. I'll never forget that. I later got an autographed photo with her. She was murdered just two weeks later and I was deeply shocked and hurt.
As a Latina and a Texan, I'm so glad to see you enjoying our local girl Selena. She is the Queen of Tejano music and I hope you post more of her performances.💜
@Denise Crawford Selena spoke Spanish quite well and completed interviews in Spanish language outlets. It was the movie that gave us the idea that she did not and her home was in Corpus Christi.
@Denise Crawford She was a young girl when she began and, yes, she took classes but she was, by the time she was an adult, quite fluent and, despite what the movie represented, completed a variety of interviews on Spanish language television.
@Denise Crawford I listened to her Spanish songs before her American album and then I saw the movie and her dad talking about when she used to sing as a young girl. How could she do that without being fluent in Spanish? I haven’t watched the movie in a while but that’s what I remember
Selena had one of the best voices ever. Her death saddened people throughout the word. "Dreaming Of You", Como La Flor", are some of her biggest hits when she crossed over into English and the US. I just watched her movie again on TV this past weekend for about the 50th time. She was definitely an icon gone way too soon!!
Gloria Gaynor first topped the charts with song in 1978 during the disco era. It is her signature song. Many people have recorded it since then but Gloria's version is iconic. People have used it as an anthem against domestic abuse and violence and taking control of one's life. It serves as a positive theme for those stepping into the light after surviving a dark period in their lives.
And yes her disco medley is comprised of all popular disco songs. “I Will Survive” - Gloria Gaynor “Funky Town” - Lipps Inc. “Last Dance” - Donna Summer “The Hustle” - Van McCoy “On The Radio” - Donna Summer
Idk if it’s just me but Selena is one of those unique artists that sound amazing in the studio but INCREDIBLY BETTER LIVE ITS CRAZY like my heart aches knowing she’s not here ughh also just so beautiful and powerful, she had that contagious laugh and personality that would put a smile on anyone’s face not to also mention a PERFORMER not one time this whole performance did she go pick a bottle of water RIP Selena quintanilla QUEEN OF TEJANO music
I have never heard Selena doing these song! She did a tremendous job!!! Especially considering how great the originals are!!! Wow!! Thanks for selecting this!!! Love it!
An amazing, historic performance and so bittersweet given that she'd be gone a little over a month later, just a week or so shy of her 24th birthday. She'd still only be 50 years old today and just imagine what kind of career she would have had over these last 26 years.
Listen to Gloria Gaynor's original version of "I will survive". This is a compilation of different Disco songs from the past. Also after "The Hustle" that last song was "On the Radio" by Donna Summer (THE Disco Queen) AND, you cannot do Latin without hitting Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine.
She was AMAZING!!! I live in Houston, Texas and they are SERIOUS about Selena here!! In Corpus Christi where she was from they have festivals and to see everyone dressed like her is so cool. I saw a mother/daughter in the purple outfit she wore to the Houston Rodeo… they were so cute! Definitely taken much too soon. Just as her dreams were coming true ☹️ the Netflix series is great.
The rest of this concert, is in spanish, singing all of her original songs!! I was at this concert at the Astrodome in Houston, TX. Selena Quintanilla will always be the queen of Tejano music!!♥️ RIP
Wow, you were there?!!! That’s pretty cool. In the original video, it’s mentions that this was part of a rodeo. So was this a Selena concert opening or closing the rodeo? Did you know Selena was going to be there? We’re you looking forward to seeing Selena? Or did she just happen to be performing there?
@@jasondownsnet she performed in the TEJANO DAY , the first time was in 1993 and she broke record in attendance , 2nd in 1994 and broke her record of 1993 and it was also for TEJANO DAY, AND 3rd and last time in this epic concert also was on TEJANO DAY she broke her other 2 record . Nowadays the Houston rodeo still do TEJANO DAY but with different type of Spanish singers
Oh hell yes!!! Proud Latina here geeking out! She’s great, and so is all her music. Thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve seen this Astrodome concert, which was sadly her last 😢. You should react to “Si Una Vez” next 🙏🏼
She’s a national treasure. Maybe you won’t react to her Spanish music but let me tell you. You don’t have to understand her Tejano songs to absorb the infectiousness of her music or her charismatic presence. It’s a shame she was stolen from the world on the precipice of her fame when Dreaming of You came out. Selena Forever! By the way the song I will survive by Gloria Gaynor originally.
I know like 5 % of Spanish And I love Queen Selena and All of her music and I love and enjoy other Spanish music I used to be a DJ and I just love Most Of All Music even back into the 1940s And I'm in my 30s
Everytime I see this performance I can't help but feel so proud. She paid homage to the music we all grew up on. To better understand the songs she covered, you need to listen to the Queen of Disco - Donna Summer!
You didn’t recognize Last Dance or On The Radio. The “Queen of Disco” Donna Summer, was the original artist. Can’t do Disco without her. Check her out, she was huge in that era also continued making music for many years later. Sadly, she’s gone now, but that voice will never be forgotten. You would love her duet with Barbra Streisand, No More Tears(Enough is Enough). Need to do a Donna Summer female Friday!
First song is by Gloria Gaynor, one of the biggest disco hits ever! For the record you should definitely hear gloria Gaynor‘s original version, it’s outstanding… it has been covered by groups including “cake” a male group 😁
You should do one of her songs now "Como La Flor", "Baile Esta Cumbia" or even her "Cumbia Medley" of her own songs... her live performances are the BEST and especially from this concert .... her last concert 💜 (funny coincidence I am wearing my "Anything for Selenas" shirt as I watch this 😊)
The originals of these songs by the OG performers are totally awesome. Many have already identified the artists here in the comments. As for the great Selena, my wife and I recommend “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and “Como la Flor” and “La Carcacha”
I have tears in my eyes. Being a Mexican American girl from Texas who loved to sing, Selena was my idol! Its a beautiful thing to see someone experience her for the first time. She was amazingly talented and gorgeous!
And she could sing beautifully in Spanish. What a beautiful and emotional voice she had. Especially when she does mariachi music." Siempre ase frio" " no me quedan mas' by Selena she was beautiful to look at beautiful to listen to and a beautiful person inside as well. What a loss. Murdered at 23 by her fan club president she was a natural singer and performer with no formal training. It brings tears to my eyes when I see people enjoy her and react. Rest in peace beautiful Aztec Queen❤ great reaction friends love your guys stuff very diverse😊
Ah, such a memorable performance from our girl -> at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo in the Astrodome.. RIP in Selena. BTW, Jennifer Lopez did a fabulous job making a movie about Selena. Well worth the time to watch. Titled "Selena". Also, "I Will Survive" was a song by Gloria Gaynor talking about a woman surviving and overcoming adversity. Oh, and don't forget that she designed her own costumes.
I think the Netflix series Selena handled her story much better than the movie. Of course the movie was limited by the relatively short time constraints.
Dana says- Absolutely no shade on Selena, who is amazing, but 'I Will Survive' was originally sung by Gloria Gaynor and the OG version will knock your socks off. Another awesome Gloria to react to is Gloria Estefan (and The Miami Sound Machine). Latin vibes and super fun.
one of my biggest inspirations as a mexican american singer!!! she’s fantastic and her death can still make me tear up. we were robbed of one of the greatest of all time. react to any live performance of que creias, it’s my favorite song of hers and showcases the performance extraordinare she was!!! and you were correct about the disco medley - she was born in the 70s and her father raised her on a lot of popular disco music. one of her favorite singers was donna summer who did the third song. i’ve watched this particular performance sooooo many times all throughout my life. it’s a masterclass in entertainment. and just to state the obvious, shes stunning beyond belief. still have never seen another body like hers to this day.
I grew up with her music. She was so kind and talented. The outfit she wore in this video was her design. She was just transitioning to the English audience when she was tragically taken from us. Songs like "No Me Queda Mas" spoke of her Latin roots. "I Could Fall In Love" and "Missing My Baby" are also songs I highly recommend.
Come la Flor is one of her most well known hits. But she also did a cover of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. It’s just unbelievable how talented she was. Fashion designer, singer, dancer, business woman. She. Did. It. All.
Yes. Donna Summer was the Queen of Disco. This is my first time seeing this medley. Selena does it justice. But I agree the duet with Barbara Streisand would be fantastic for Female Friday.
Selena songs in Spanish: Como la Flor and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom Selena songs in English: I Could Fall in Love and Dreaming of You (both released after she died)
There was a movie starring Keanu Reeves called “The Replacements” I believe, about a bunch of replacement football players (regular players were on strike) to play out the season, and the first song (I Will Survive) was in it, sung by the football team while in jail for a barroom-type brawl (and danced to it, it was hilarious!). That could be where ya’ll saw it. You need to see the movie again, it was great!
She was my first love my first crush I was 10 when she passed and she's one of my favorite artists of all time I love you've reacted to he, also my fam had her music blasting in our house 24/7 and she was a absolute QUEEN and her inner beauty was just as if not even more beautiful then her outer beauty
Selena was a huge Donna Summer fan(Last Dance, On The Radio). Love Selena!!! Try Como La Flor, Amor Prohibido, No Me Queda Mas, Baila Esta Cumbia, Si Una Vez, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom or Cumbia Medley(live). Her cross over album songs, Dreaming of You, I Could Fall In Love, Tu Solo Tu. I could go on! Thank you for reacting to Selena!!! RIP Selena
I second the suggestion for a female disco friday, which would have to include Gloria Gaynor, who originally sang, I will survive, in 1978. You would also have to include Donna Summer of course!
Shakira has some amazing songs, Hips don't lie, underneath it all, whenever wherever. Also one you and amber may like is Lisa Lisa and cult jam all cried out is the song. A great voice . Plus Gloria Estevan and the Miami sound machine is another rabbit hole.
I dated a girl that was the exact spitting image of Shakira, except she had jet black hair, I ruined it because I felt inside like I'd never be good enough for her, so treated her awful til she broke it off. I was young... didn't realize how crappy a thing it was to do. Not sure why I told ya... maybe guilt at the name. Lol
This medley is Legendary because it taught a lot of us latin kids the beauty of these disco songs! She was truly a once-in-a-lifetime talent.... omg you guys have no idea!!!! Back in the 90s when you saw her on TV she captured you, for real. And my dude... please dont feel weird saying she is beautiful because she was... besides all the talent she was gorgeous!!! All straight guys look at her and go wow! It has always been like that.... Natural latina gorgeousness
This was filmed a month before she died at it was her last performance ever, so when she says 'see you soon' im always like 'no we wont'' and then cry! but, 60 thousand people attended this show.
The first song is “I will Survive” The Gloria Gaynor version is much better. It is a song I suggested you react to. Gloria has a controlled powerhouse voice.
Really? Every gay guy I know sings it like they're on Broadway as soon as they hear the beginning notes. Lol. A d yep, I sing it right with them lol. It's a fun song
Some great Selena songs: English: -Dreaming of You -I Could Fall in Love -Mising My Baby -Always Mine -Sensitivity Spanish: -Techno Cumbia -Amor Prohibido -Como La Flor -Puede Ser -Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
@@donnalombardo1135I was about to say I don’t see anyone mentioning her English music. Dreaming of You is one of her biggest songs but there’s also I Could Fall in Love, Only Love, Missing my Baby
Where do you start with Donna, at the beginning with Love to Love You Baby, or the Transformative I Feel Love. The her 9 consecutive top 5 singles, when she became the first female artist to dominate the Billboard Charts - Last Dance, Mac Arthur Park, Heaven Knows, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, Dim All The Lights, No More Tears (Enough is Enough), On The Radio, The Wanderer. She was the first female and the first black artist to take 3 albums to the top of the charts back to back, the just happened to be 3 Double albums.
Dim All the Lights..MacArthur Park, Love to Love you....I Feel Love, Hot Stuff.. in late 70s she was Queen of Disco and every song was a hit. I was a young teen rock drummer, but she was my secret " alone at home" music.. along with BeeGees, most disco.
All great songs! A word of caution to Jay and Amber: Might not want to listen to Donna Summer's Love to Love You while your girls are in the room. ;) Fantastic song, but very "adult".
Tears was shed when she was taken from the us the world kids and adults it was so sad She definitely would have been one of the greatest performers of all time
Given that "I Will Survive" (Gloria Gaynor) is often known as "The Female National Anthem", it's hilarious that y'all keep thinking it was originally a male voice. Of course you may have a heard a cover with a male voice -- so then it would be expected. But even context there, you'd have been missing that this is a dude singing "the female national anthem", which contemporary audiences would totally understand. I confess, also, that I didn't necessarily see a Disco Medley coming, in spite of the video being called Disco Medley! LOL.
My brother and I were fortunate enough to meet her in person briefly at one of her final concerts. I honestly didn't know who she was but my brother sure did. She was so nice and even more beautiful in person. What a wonderful memory that no one can understand. Both her and my brother have passed away I will never forget that moment in time.
This is a medley of disco songs.
I Will Survive is originally by Gloria Gaynor
Funky Town- Lipps Inc.
Last Dance -Donna Summer
The Hustle- Van McCoy
On The Radio- Donna Summer
Diana Ross also gave her spin on it (I Will Survive) in the 90s with the comedy movie "In & Out"
Donna summer was the disco queen and no one was better
Speaking if Donna Summers (the Queen of Disco), she is a MUST to react to.
@@SACollins another MUST to react to.
@@G-grandma_Army a big 2nd on that. 👍
The songs she sang in order were: “I Will Survive” (Gloria Gaynor); “Funkytown” (Lipps Inc.); “Last Dance” (Donna Summer); “The Hustle” (Van McCoy); and “On the Radio” (Donna Summer). Donna Summer would be great for Female Fridays, she was the Queen of Disco and, along with the Bee Gees, epitomized the disco sound. I’m not really familiar with many of Selena’s song but I believe one of the more mainstream ones was “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.”
Donna Summers On The Radio is amazing.
Thank you!
I've never forgotten the review I read in the NME at the time of the Lipps Inc single. A panel of music journalists were reviewing the singles together in a sort of panel that week. The review ended with the exchange: "yes, but what does it say about the state of the world?" "it says it's a funky town".
Donna summer deserves her own reaction videos… She passed way too soon as well
Please do Donna summer !!!!
Hot stuff
She works hard for the money
On the radio
Last dance
Songs and the originals from this performance in order that she covered
1. I Will Survive by Gloria Gayner

All of these, and do the live versions! You won’t regret it!

My daughter hates Yolanda to this very day
It was also in the movie the Replacements

Last Dance and On The Radio are Donna Summer songs. The Hustle is a fun dance. Selena was a great performer, a life taken way to soon. RIP
As a Latina and a Texan, I'm so glad to see you enjoying our local girl Selena. She is the Queen of Tejano music and I hope you post more of her performances.💜

Selena was so beautiful and so talented. I could only imagine how big she would have been if she was still with us today...
YESSS!!! i've been waiting for this reaction. Selena was such a queen, extremely talented and full of life.

Thank you! I was hoping someone would make a list like this in the comments :)
Selena always loved Donna Summer, she always mentioned her in her interviews.
Idk if it’s just me but Selena is one of those unique artists that sound amazing in the studio but INCREDIBLY BETTER LIVE ITS CRAZY like my heart aches knowing she’s not here ughh also just so beautiful and powerful, she had that contagious laugh and personality that would put a smile on anyone’s face not to also mention a PERFORMER not one time this whole performance did she go pick a bottle of water RIP Selena quintanilla QUEEN OF TEJANO music
i’ve always loved how a lot of artists sound live. their voice just gets fuller and like deeper. it sounds so nice
She sang great in English too
Excellent reaction guys !! Great reaction
Keep in mind that she was singing and dancing on a rotating stage, she was one heck of a performer, taken from us way too soon. We miss you Selena 😢❤️
I agree! I miss the old arena with rotating stage. She had such a voice! Gone too soon for sure.
Gloria Gaynor is the original singer of I will Survive 1978
Gone far too soon.
Como la flor, fotos y recuerdos are some of Selena’s best songs!!!!!!!!
Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
I have never heard Selena doing these song! She did a tremendous job!!! Especially considering how great the originals are!!! Wow!! Thanks for selecting this!!! Love it!
Superstar. Megastar. Icon.
An amazing, historic performance and so bittersweet given that she'd be gone a little over a month later, just a week or so shy of her 24th birthday. She'd still only be 50 years old today and just imagine what kind of career she would have had over these last 26 years.

Listen to Gloria Gaynor's original version of "I will survive". This is a compilation of different Disco songs from the past.
Also after "The Hustle" that last song was "On the Radio" by Donna Summer (THE Disco Queen)
AND, you cannot do Latin without hitting Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine.
Yes! Gloria was the trend setter/ trailblazer for Latin pop music!
Try “Conga”, Rhythm is gonna get you, or “Anything for you!”
Let’s not forget Gloria Gaynor singing this on an episode of The 70’s Show and she and Fez danced. Fun fact.
@@TheWilsontm You forgot to specify, but you're obviously talking about Gloria ESTEFAN, NOT Gloria GAYNOR.
Gloria Gaynor "Never can say goodbye"
@@davidrosoff3228
Oh shoot, you’re correct , Gloria Estefan is who I was referring to. Thank you for clarifying for me! 🙏🏼
She was AMAZING!!! I live in Houston, Texas and they are SERIOUS about Selena here!! In Corpus Christi where she was from they have festivals and to see everyone dressed like her is so cool. I saw a mother/daughter in the purple outfit she wore to the Houston Rodeo… they were so cute! Definitely taken much too soon. Just as her dreams were coming true ☹️ the Netflix series is great.
I live in southern cali and we are also very serious about her over here lol
Queen of TexMex 🙌🏽🇲🇽🇺🇸
Yep we don’t mess with our Reina💓💓💓💓
Selena is loved everywhere. Florida loves Selena
GREAT PICK Orale! Queen of Tejano! Tears every-time I see this clip and the songs.
Incredible artist , incredible person. Such a beautiful soul inside and outside. What u saw is what u got. So genuine. Y'all should do more of her.
The rest of this concert, is in spanish, singing all of her original songs!! I was at this concert at the Astrodome in Houston, TX. Selena Quintanilla will always be the queen of Tejano music!!♥️ RIP

She was always playing in my house hold growing up
But Como LA Flor 🥰🥰🥰 Also love Amor Prohibido .
For a pure fun song of hers try Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. It's infectious... even if you don't understand the lyrics.
It really got to me knowing that it was her last concert singing “I will survive”. Her tragic ending is hard to comprehend all these years later.
She’s a national treasure. Maybe you won’t react to her Spanish music but let me tell you. You don’t have to understand her Tejano songs to absorb the infectiousness of her music or her charismatic presence. It’s a shame she was stolen from the world on the precipice of her fame when Dreaming of You came out. Selena Forever! By the way the song I will survive by Gloria Gaynor originally.
They reacted to Linda Ronsadt singing Mariachi and they loved it. I am sure they will also love Selena singing her iconic Spanish songs.
I know like 5 % of Spanish
And I love Queen Selena and
All of her music and I love and enjoy other Spanish music
I used to be a DJ and I just love Most Of All Music even back into the 1940s
And I'm in my 30s
I agree, I like Band Maid, can't understand a word.
I loved J's reaction when Amber said, "You can say it. She's gorgeous."
J, "Er, eehh, yeah, she's pretty." Perfect husband reaction, 😆
RIP Selena..a true Texas treasure.
Si Una Vez...another great song and performance.
Yes!
Anything off the 'Ones' album.
Donna Summer is the Queen of Disco: Last Dance and On The Radio. Must reactions! And Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive is epic.
Without a doubt, must listen to Gloria Gaynor's original version and definitely to Donna Summer!
Everytime I see this performance I can't help but feel so proud. She paid homage to the music we all grew up on. To better understand the songs she covered, you need to listen to the Queen of Disco - Donna Summer!
You didn’t recognize Last Dance or On The Radio. The “Queen of Disco” Donna Summer, was the original artist. Can’t do Disco without her. Check her out, she was huge in that era also continued making music for many years later. Sadly, she’s gone now, but that voice will never be forgotten. You would love her duet with Barbra Streisand, No More Tears(Enough is Enough). Need to do a Donna Summer female Friday!
What you said! 😂😂😂
Omg 😘just seeing and hearing SELENA..just brings tears to my eyes 😭her presents on stage and what a preformer we lost.. ❤️love ya.. SELENA ❤️RIP ❤️
First song is by Gloria Gaynor, one of the biggest disco hits ever! For the record you should definitely hear gloria Gaynor‘s original version, it’s outstanding… it has been covered by groups including “cake” a male group 😁
You should do one of her songs now "Como La Flor", "Baile Esta Cumbia" or even her "Cumbia Medley" of her own songs... her live performances are the BEST and especially from this concert .... her last concert 💜 (funny coincidence I am wearing my "Anything for Selenas" shirt as I watch this 😊)
Also Bidi Bidi Bom and No Me Quede Mas.... you really need to do one of her original songs to understand just how awesome she was
The originals of these songs by the OG performers are totally awesome. Many have already identified the artists here in the comments.
As for the great Selena, my wife and I recommend “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and “Como la Flor” and “La Carcacha”
Selena was a great performer. Took from us to soon. Love your channel. You've made me smile today
I have tears in my eyes. Being a Mexican American girl from Texas who loved to sing, Selena was my idol! Its a beautiful thing to see someone experience her for the first time. She was amazingly talented and gorgeous!
And she could sing beautifully in Spanish. What a beautiful and emotional voice she had. Especially when she does mariachi
music." Siempre ase frio" " no me quedan mas' by Selena she was beautiful to look at beautiful to listen to and a beautiful person inside as well. What a loss. Murdered at 23 by her fan club president she was a natural singer and performer with no formal training. It brings tears to my eyes when I see people enjoy her and react. Rest in peace beautiful Aztec Queen❤ great reaction friends love your guys stuff very diverse😊
RIP to the beautiful Selena. Murdered at only 23 years old. She sang so beautifully in Spanish and English. A beautiful soul gone too soon.
Christina Grimmie was about the same age when she was murdered, both were so talented
@@michellemidyett3213 Agreed. Both were talented, beautiful and gone too soon. It breaks my heart how they were both murdered.
She’s a legend!!
Ah, such a memorable performance from our girl -> at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo in the Astrodome.. RIP in Selena. BTW, Jennifer Lopez did a fabulous job making a movie about Selena. Well worth the time to watch. Titled "Selena". Also, "I Will Survive" was a song by Gloria Gaynor talking about a woman surviving and overcoming adversity. Oh, and don't forget that she designed her own costumes.
Admittedly, most of what I know about Selena came from the movie. Love her now, but I’m not sure I even heard of her before she died.😢
I think the Netflix series Selena handled her story much better than the movie. Of course the movie was limited by the relatively short time constraints.
it brings tears to my eyes thinking about Selena. She was so adored by her fans. A True South Texan. She will be loved and missed for ever.
I love you guys so much! You’re both such positive, wonderful people. Thank you for your openness and respect for all people and genres.
Selena was great too bad her story was cut short 😢 Beautiful songs by her include; "I could fall in love" and my favorite ""Dreaming of you"
Dana says- Absolutely no shade on Selena, who is amazing, but 'I Will Survive' was originally sung by Gloria Gaynor and the OG version will knock your socks off. Another awesome Gloria to react to is Gloria Estefan (and The Miami Sound Machine). Latin vibes and super fun.
I so miss those days when Gloria Estefan was at the top of her game... her and Sade were unbeatable back in my day.
True! I can’t believe I haven’t thought to request her before. She is one if my all-time favorites!
Honestly, as much as I love Gloria Gaynor's version, I actually prefer Selena's cover.
I’ve noticed that Amber is the one who has the more knowledgeable music sense
Selena ate Gloria up.
Such a beautiful soul…..RIP Selena
Como La Flor and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom are two great songs of Selena's!
one of my biggest inspirations as a mexican american singer!!! she’s fantastic and her death can still make me tear up. we were robbed of one of the greatest of all time. react to any live performance of que creias, it’s my favorite song of hers and showcases the performance extraordinare she was!!! and you were correct about the disco medley - she was born in the 70s and her father raised her on a lot of popular disco music. one of her favorite singers was donna summer who did the third song. i’ve watched this particular performance sooooo many times all throughout my life. it’s a masterclass in entertainment. and just to state the obvious, shes stunning beyond belief. still have never seen another body like hers to this day.
I grew up with her music. She was so kind and talented. The outfit she wore in this video was her design. She was just transitioning to the English audience when she was tragically taken from us. Songs like "No Me Queda Mas" spoke of her Latin roots. "I Could Fall In Love" and "Missing My Baby" are also songs I highly recommend.
Taken far too soon.
Come la Flor is one of her most well known hits. But she also did a cover of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. It’s just unbelievable how talented she was. Fashion designer, singer, dancer, business woman. She. Did. It. All.
Como la Flor is my favorite song by Selena! R. I. P.
Donna Summer had an incredible voice, and was the undisputed queen of disco. Definitely need to check out her duet with Barbra Streisand.
Amen, 4REAL.
Yes, The duet is called “no more tears” aka “ enough is enough”… The vocals are absolutely phenomenal!
Yes. Donna Summer was the Queen of Disco. This is my first time seeing this medley. Selena does it justice. But I agree the duet with Barbara Streisand would be fantastic for Female Friday.
DONNA SUMMER MISS HER
I Will Survive was first performed and made famous by Gloria Gaynor in 1978 , prime disco year.
I live in Houston, I went to that concert, it was in the Astrodome, She was so beautiful, Rip Selena
Selena songs in Spanish: Como la Flor and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
Selena songs in English: I Could Fall in Love and Dreaming of You (both released after she died)
Selena’s performances at the Astrodome broke Elvis’ Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo attendance record that had held for about 25 years
Gotta listen to her Tejano songs. Her voice and the passion breaks language barriers.
This is the best video you guys have ever reacted too, more selena I promise your subscribers will go up
That performance was at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo...I was there and she was aaaaamazing. RIP Selena 🙏 💙
Selena “No me Queda mas” is a beautiful song that showcases her voice and talent, died at age 23, still relevant today.
She definitely came in like a whirlwind and stole everyone's heart with her sound, beauty and infectious persona 🕊️💗
I Will Survive is the ultimate female power song. The original singer was Gloria Gaynor. It’s funny that you’ve only h and a male sing it.
There was a movie starring Keanu Reeves called “The Replacements” I believe, about a bunch of replacement football players (regular players were on strike) to play out the season, and the first song (I Will Survive) was in it, sung by the football team while in jail for a barroom-type brawl (and danced to it, it was hilarious!). That could be where ya’ll saw it. You need to see the movie again, it was great!
Selena had so many songs to enjoy. Everyone is a worth listening to. Try Como la Flor and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom! Both awesome💯❤️❤️
I LOVE Bidi Bom Bom! ❤️
Baila Esta Cumbia is my favorite:)
Also No Me Queda Mas is awesome too.
Amor prohibido too
She was my first love my first crush I was 10 when she passed and she's one of my favorite artists of all time I love you've reacted to he, also my fam had her music blasting in our house 24/7 and she was a absolute QUEEN and her inner beauty was just as if not even more beautiful then her outer beauty
Huston Texas México 🇲🇽. For life.
This performance is iconic!
Selena was a huge Donna Summer fan(Last Dance, On The Radio).
Love Selena!!! Try Como La Flor, Amor Prohibido, No Me Queda Mas, Baila Esta Cumbia, Si Una Vez, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom or Cumbia Medley(live).
Her cross over album songs, Dreaming of You, I Could Fall In Love, Tu Solo Tu. I could go on!
Thank you for reacting to Selena!!!
RIP Selena
I second the suggestion for a female disco friday, which would have to include Gloria Gaynor, who originally sang, I will survive, in 1978. You would also have to include Donna Summer of course!
Selena is a Goddess... Immortal forever.
A goddess indeed
Selena what a beautiful young woman. That voice .
Shakira has some amazing songs, Hips don't lie, underneath it all, whenever wherever. Also one you and amber may like is Lisa Lisa and cult jam all cried out is the song. A great voice . Plus Gloria Estevan and the Miami sound machine is another rabbit hole.
YES! Another I haven’t thought about requesting! What’s wrong with me? LOL
I dated a girl that was the exact spitting image of Shakira, except she had jet black hair, I ruined it because I felt inside like I'd never be good enough for her, so treated her awful til she broke it off. I was young... didn't realize how crappy a thing it was to do. Not sure why I told ya... maybe guilt at the name. Lol
Oh dang I forgot about Lisa Lisa I loved that song.
Conga would be a great reaction
Yes, Lisa Lisa!!!! All Cried Out may be bigger, but I also love I Wonder if I Take You Home
This medley is Legendary because it taught a lot of us latin kids the beauty of these disco songs! She was truly a once-in-a-lifetime talent.... omg you guys have no idea!!!! Back in the 90s when you saw her on TV she captured you, for real. And my dude... please dont feel weird saying she is beautiful because she was... besides all the talent she was gorgeous!!! All straight guys look at her and go wow! It has always been like that.... Natural latina gorgeousness
Unbelievable talent, charisma, and humility. Just, I mean, no words
This was filmed a month before she died at it was her last performance ever, so when she says 'see you soon' im always like 'no we wont'' and then cry! but, 60 thousand people attended this show.
Serena The Queen of Tex-Mex., you guys got D rhythm inside so greeting from my hometown Monterrey MÉXICO 🇲🇽.
All covers. But she has an amazing voice. Lol. I remember doing The Hustle in 5th grade. So fun. You need to do Miami Sound Machine!
This performance was at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. A lot of performers come out on horses or in carriages. This was an amazing performance.
The first song is “I will Survive” The Gloria Gaynor version is much better.
It is a song I suggested you react to. Gloria has a controlled powerhouse voice.
Gloria gaynor made this song famous first in 60s I think
@@suzanneholmes8612 1979
YASSSS MY MAMI SELENA ❤️❤️ #QUEEN
One of my favorites is Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
She’s doing a dedication to the actual artist
😂😂i have never heard a male sing i will survive. It's Gloria Gaynors song. 😂😂😂 you guys are all turned around. Your funny. Love ya💖
I've seen at least a dozen drag queens perform it on stage though. Lol. 🙂
Neither have I that’s why I was so surprised when he kept saying he hadn’t heard it sung by a female before
@@PaintedCavern 😂😂oh yea your right so have i. But I'm old and it been so long. Those were the good ole days. I miss them😂😊.
Really? Every gay guy I know sings it like they're on Broadway as soon as they hear the beginning notes. Lol. A d yep, I sing it right with them lol. It's a fun song
You cannot do Latin without Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine. “The Conga” was the jam back in the day!
Yeesss! If this one doesn't make you want to dance, then you're not alive.
Love Gloria and TMSM 💗
Fully agree
Gloria and MSM were definitely the “bomb”…
Yes I love Gloria my mother looks a lot like her 💜
Save Donna Summer for Friday!!!!! One of the greatest disco performers...
YES!!!!!
The QUEEN of Disco!
Last Dance and On the Radio were both Donna Summer songs. Donna Summer was one of Selena's favorite artists from since when she was a child.
What a great medley!! Makes me so much miss the fun of disco.
Some great Selena songs:
English:
-Dreaming of You
-I Could Fall in Love
-Mising My Baby
-Always Mine
-Sensitivity
Spanish:
-Techno Cumbia
-Amor Prohibido
-Como La Flor
-Puede Ser
-Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
“Como La Flor” is her most well known song. But there’s a catalogue to choose from.
I liked it when she sang in English too
@@donnalombardo1135I was about to say I don’t see anyone mentioning her English music. Dreaming of You is one of her biggest songs but there’s also I Could Fall in Love, Only Love, Missing my Baby
Donna Summers is a must for any Friday!
I always call for Roberta Flack on Female Friday -- First Time Ever I Saw Your Face or Killing Me Softly
Yes Bad Girls!
Where do you start with Donna, at the beginning with Love to Love You Baby, or the Transformative I Feel Love. The her 9 consecutive top 5 singles, when she became the first female artist to dominate the Billboard Charts - Last Dance, Mac Arthur Park, Heaven Knows, Hot Stuff, Bad Girls, Dim All The Lights, No More Tears (Enough is Enough), On The Radio, The Wanderer. She was the first female and the first black artist to take 3 albums to the top of the charts back to back, the just happened to be 3 Double albums.
Donna Summer- On the Radio Absolutely fantastic song. She is a legend.
Bad Girls!!!!
Dim All the Lights..MacArthur Park, Love to Love you....I Feel Love, Hot Stuff.. in late 70s she was Queen of Disco and every song was a hit. I was a young teen rock drummer, but she was my secret " alone at home" music.. along with BeeGees, most disco.
She Works Hard for the Money!
Hot Stuff!!!
All great songs! A word of caution to Jay and Amber: Might not want to listen to Donna Summer's Love to Love You while your girls are in the room. ;) Fantastic song, but very "adult".
You have. Never heard of : Donna Summer. Come on we’re you be before. The Queen of Disco
Thank you for posting this. I didn't know Selena covered these songs. I know she was a big star in Texas. Gone too Soon!
I grew up listening to Selena.❤️ My all time favorite Selena songs are Como La Flor, Amor Prohibido, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, and La Carcacha
Yes a tragic story, but what a voice and entertainer... Enjoy!
The Queen of Tejano music! Tragic loss for the Tejano community and the world! Beautiful child!
AMAZING!!! Selena❤
Tears was shed when she was taken from the us the world kids and adults it was so sad She definitely would have been one of the greatest performers of all time
Given that "I Will Survive" (Gloria Gaynor) is often known as "The Female National Anthem", it's hilarious that y'all keep thinking it was originally a male voice. Of course you may have a heard a cover with a male voice -- so then it would be expected. But even context there, you'd have been missing that this is a dude singing "the female national anthem", which contemporary audiences would totally understand. I confess, also, that I didn't necessarily see a Disco Medley coming, in spite of the video being called Disco Medley! LOL.
I LOL’d so much at them not knowing I Will Survive, especially with The Bee Gees picture behind them 😂😭 like did you not grow up in America?
@@90carlos92 Even weirder is knowing the Cake version (or something).... but yeah, times change!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
No Me Queda Más and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom are 2 of my favorites but there are so many great ones to choose from.
I think No Me Queda Más is one of her best vocal performances ever recorded!
No Me Queda Mas is my favorite.
My brother and I were fortunate enough to meet her in person briefly at one of her final concerts. I honestly didn't know who she was but my brother sure did. She was so nice and even more beautiful in person. What a wonderful memory that no one can understand. Both her and my brother have passed away I will never forget that moment in time.
A grand entrance by the Queen of Tejano music.
Yes she is a Queen 🌹
