I am white.. and let me tell you.. when Selena came out in the 90's.. even young white boys like me fell in love with her.. such a beautiful voice. and such beautiful music.... some fun songs as well.. but anyways.. My point is.. SHE WAS THAT GIRL!! She blew up very quick.. and was loved.. but died way too soon.. and tragically! She will always be a part of my teen years!! R.I.P. Selena!!
Fun facts. She grew up speaking English and had to learn Spanish from her Dad to attract spanish speaking fans. She started singing in English after she got bigger to attract a wider audience. She was married to the bands lead guitarist.
@@MaddyReactions she started to record an English crossover album at the height of her career but the died before she finished it. Only 4 or 5 songs were recorded and she never sung them live.
Also, don't rule out listening to her Spanish music just because you don't understand Spanish. She had a gift for making you feel what she was singing no matter what language you speak. I didn't understand her music at the time I started listening, but fell in love with her and her music regardless.
This was the english crossover pop album she was in the middle of recording when she was murdered. She was set to start filming the video for this song a week after her death and she only got to record half the album. She's American, didn't even speak Spanish until she was a teen, years after she had already been singing it with the family band. Her idols were people like Donna Summer, Janet Jackson and Madonna, and the irony is that after over a decade of hard work with the family band and becoming very successful in the Tejano music industry, she was finally doing the pop album she had wanted to do since the beginning and then it's all taken away in an instant by one obsessed ex employee/friend. She designed all of her own performance outfits and was talented beyond singing. She had one of those very rare personalities that just drew people in and made them instantly like her. The world was robbed.
I grew up living down the street from Selena and let me tell you, she was extremely down to earth and she waved every day when we’re outside playing. I was in 7th grade when she passed and I remember our neighborhood street being congested for months with traffic and people.
Selena married one of her band members, it was a love story straight out of a movie. His father disapproved but she went behind her family back and married him anyway. When she died they were planning to have kids 😭😭
Selena's husband was Chris Pérez. Lead guitarist for the Tejano band Selena y Los Dinos. Her life had a tragic ending. A movie was made of her life. Tells her story well.
Selena planned to have a whole album in English. She also planned on making more but her untimely and tragic death prevented that.(RIP) This song is the first single from that English album. She was on the tour before that album was finished when she was murdered in Corpus Christi by the president of her fan club. She also has a Spanish version of this song. Also, in some of her Spanish songs she throws some English in. English was actually her first language. She learned Spanish because it was easier for her father to book gigs. She’s actually from here in Texas.
Selena never toured this album. The English album was never completed fully in English. The record company released "Dreaming Of You" album but with only 4 English songs and the rest of the tracks are her spanish hits. Selena was murdered in Corpus Christi, TX (her hometown.) Above all, a very tragic story.
@@rubiopicazojoseph you’re right. My mistake it was Corpus. And the album was completed after. My mistake again. Thanks for the correction. My memory is a bit fuzzy. Next time I should use Google to make sure. I edited my original comment.
This song played constantly on the radio after her death. It was so heartbreaking! You should react to Como La Flor live at the astrodome. English was her primary language, but she did many in spanish for her mexican fans.
That wasn't her boyfriend but she had a husband before she died and he was the inspiration for some of her late music. His name is Chris Pérez and he was a guitar player in her band and they were very much in love and even though he remarried a few years later he could never get over Selena. He doesn't regret his decision otherwise he wouldn't have his children.
She was a huge Tejano star and was about to become a mega crossover star when she was murdered. Even though she was a star she still lived in the same Corpus Christi neighborhood where she grew up.
Selena was as humble as they come, she left us broken hearted when she was killed by that demon Yolanda. We ALL Fell in love with her and she will always be our TEJANO Queen!
Selena debuted as a member of a band along with her elder siblings to then becoming popular within the American Texan community. She became first female artist to hit the charts with albums and popular songs in the Latin song charts and in such a short time became big. Unfortunately her life was cut short when she got shot and killed by her long time friend and manager of Selena's Boutique. She was 23 years of age. Selena did perform a Disco Medley live from Astrodome and it's worth the watch. R.I.P. Selena.
I am a white male and I had a son with a Hispanic woman and after our son was born we brought him home and I walked in the room he was laying on her chest and she was singing this to him ever so softly when I say I cried I cried like a baby
Great reaction, she is timeless all her songs are timeless but here is a list of her English songs... that i remember: 1) disco medly from the astrodome concert "95". 2) where did the feeling go 1991 3) my love 1989 4) everybody everybody 5) missing my baby 6) Michael Jackson cover billie jean 1987 7) MJ cover dont stop till you get enough 1991 8) Janet Jackson cover what have you done for me lately/ girl friend 9)only in my dreams 10) set me free 11) captive heart ( vocal range here is another level) 12) very special (dreaming of you). *****. Thanks R.I.P SWEET ANGEL🙏🌹😪
Shes Breathtaking! Best way I can describe her talent and beauty. You mentioned her smile, which was so very lovely, but she was stunningly beautiful all the way around. I didnt know who she was before the movie came out.I got out of the Marines in 1989. She passed in 1995. I spent military service in Spanish speaking countries such as Spain, Panama and Puerto Rico in 1989 so I should have known something of Selena. I regret missing out on this wonderful young lady's talent. And this song is something very special. Im a big tough man, but her singing on this song turns me into a big mushy teddy bear. You're quite beautiful as well Maddie. The effects of this song kind of sneaks up on ya! Selena definitely is a treasure.
She was a living angel 😇 I cried when she was murdered my that head of her fan club. Imagine the music and happiness she could brought to the people. And yes she was beautiful inside and out. 😢
To really get the essence of Selena you need to listen to her live version of Como La Flor. Even if you don’t speak Spanish you will love and appreciate her performance. Selena was so captivating, losing her so senselessly still breaks my heart. Selena believed in a Paradise Earth as God’s promise for the future of mankind. I hope she is able to see that reality come true for her.
She was once interviewed on the christina show a Latin show and she was asked a question I forgot what it was but Selena would actually get excited to meet famous artist forgetting that she was also a famous artist.
Love your reaction! Please react to Selena Disco Medley live at the astrodome. Fun fact Selena designed clothing which included most of the outfits you see her perform in. She would even sew beads on herself! I would highly recommend watching some of her interviews as well. She had an phenomenal talent but her personality was just as great
You should react to “Disco Medley” is totally the opposite of this song, it shows the big vocal range that Selena had, she was able to sing Ballads, Disco, Rock, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, and even Jazz, she was and is amazing
Jennifer Lopez starred as Selena in the movie Selena in 1997, it was a good movie! She crossed over from Latin music to English-speaking music right about the time she was murdered.
I remember when she started to hit. I was into grunge and rock, but my wife is Mexicana and always loved Mexican music and Tejano. My wife introduced me to her music and I've been a fan since then. I prefer her Spanish language music, but this song is beautiful. Now I have a 14 year old daughter and she loves Selena and takes great pride when she wears her Selena shirt to school. She'll be having her quinceanera next year and there will be many Selena songs played at the party.
Nice reaction Maddy. That first airy note of this song gets me as it did you. The guitar you hear was played by Selena's husband, Chris. "Dreaming of You" is another of her english songs you will like. That boyfriend is a guy from Barrio Boyz that Selena did a video with, Donde Quire Estes".. in spanish but nice vibe...carry on Maddy
I've lost track of how many times I've listened to this song (and it always makes me cry 😥). But, I was never able to catch her words, spoken in Spanish, during the bridge. This was partly due to her speaking them so softly and partly due to the fact that I'm not a fluent Spanish speaker. So I tracked down a video of the song with lyrics (letra) and put them into Google Translate. Here's what I found for anybody similarly curious: Spanish: Siempre estoy soñando en ti besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel abrazándome con ansias locas, imaginando que me amas como yo podria amar a ti. English: I am always dreaming of you kissing my lips, caressing my skin, hugging me with crazy desires, imagining that you love me as I could love you.
I only know a few words in Spanish but I still enjoy listening to Selena She has quite a few songs that you can definitely vibe to Such as Biddy biddy bombom. She was so talented and she had such a beautiful voice. RIP Selena.
I has only heard of Selena when they reported on the news about her death, it saddened me, then they released her English album that she was working on when she died, and I became a huge fan, and I grieve along with her millions of fans. She would have been a absolute megastar if she were still here. We miss her, but she leaves a great legacy after her short life, a great life shortened by a coward who Selena considered a friend. I saw a video report that said that if the bullet that hit Selena was just a centimeter above or below where it hit, she would probably have lived. I so wish it were true, but I know I wine bring her back, so we can just celebrate Selena and enjoy her music and images. Rest on Selena , we love you!♥️🙏🏾💐
You are not wrong about the vibe you get. She was well known her humbleness. The guy in the video is a singer for "The Barrio Boyzz". It the video for "Donde Quieras Que Estés" ( wherever you are). You should react to it. It's a nice dance song.
English is her first language but when her father formed the band of siblings they only sang in Spanish. Her Spanish improved so much from singing and interviewing. 5 studio albums later she finally got the go ahead to make her crossover album. She never lived to see it blow up. :(
I am from PNG when I first watch Selena for the first time acted by JLO I fell in love with her story and song and want to be a singer now I still love singing.🇵🇬❤️
The guy you asked if it was her boyfriend was another group called The Barrio Boys. Her boyfriend and eventual husband, Chris Perez, was in her band "Los Dinos." Funny, at first, he didn't want to be in the band because it wasn't his style. He wanted to be in a rock band, but he joined the band anyway. Great reaction.
Something you didn't ask me but I'll let you know anyway. Is that selena gomez, they have called her Selena because Selena gomez's mother is a fan of Selena. Search TH-cam for her last concert at the Astrodome and you will see the great beauty of Selena and her beautiful charisma.
Selena has other wonderful English songs: Dreaming of you, My Captive Heart, I’m Getting Used to You, Missing my Baby, Where Did the Feeling Go, Is It the Best, A Boy Like That (west side story) and many more😊
When Selena decided to crossover to english, she found an American manager out of Nashville that wrote the song for her. He insisted that she sing this song which he wrote before he would contract with Selena. Is she died of a gunshot wound before the song was released. That is why this video is a collage of still images. Her family raised her bilingual.
Maddy you are absolutely right, you just get a feeling about people and you just know they are good people. She was in early 20's I think when she lost her life. Way too young.
I would say you haven't heard her more in English because she was tragically murdered just as her first English album was climbing the charts, so there's only two widely released English singles. The other one you should check out is, "Dreaming of You:". I don't speak Spanish either, but I do like her Spanish song "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom." Such a tragic loss makes it hard for people to continue to enjoy the beautiful music. I still can't listen to Whitney Houston without much sadness.
I love Selena's voice in this song, it brings a sense of peace. Have you ever listened to Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine Maddy? Suggest "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" or "Conga". Gloria mostly sings in English. You know if you try to follow up on all the great music people will suggest it is going to take a lifetime . Nothing wrong with that.
If you did not live in the Southwest or Northern Mexico, you probably wouldn't know her. She was a mega star in Houston. The Selena that can't sing was named after her. Her husband was the guitar player, a very talented and still popular musician.
Selina was not a native Spanish speaker. She was from the US. Her father was from Mexican ancestry and wanted Tobe a singer when he was young but the Americans o hid day didn't like him because he was Mexican and the Mexicans didn't like him because he was American singing American music. He encouraged his children to become a band singing traditional Mexican music called Tejano. She became the most successful female artist in that genre. And broke into yltge American scene as a cross over artist. Same as Sharkira a few years later.. You shouldn't worry about the language issue. What counts most is the music and vocals. This song is in English, but let me recommend one of her Spanish songs. No Me Queda Mas.
What a great reaction to one of the greatest losses in music! Selena is a cultural icon. A true & genuine legend in Latin/American music history! Billboard music named Selena as the “greatest Latin female artist of all time “ . There is a Selena museum in her hometown of Corpus Christi Texes . Please react to the following!! Thank youuu! “Disco medley” th-cam.com/video/kqyUf19c_7Y/w-d-xo.html “Si Una Vez” th-cam.com/video/pjDc3nK8cN4/w-d-xo.html “No me Queda Mas” music video th-cam.com/video/FCi-Xp2TVoQ/w-d-xo.html “la carcacha “ th-cam.com/video/mOpZylrrymM/w-d-xo.html
It's been 8mths and I didn't read the comments, but those men are the 'Barrio Boys' her buddies and label mates shooting the video "dondequiera que estes" where ever you go, you should check 9ut the video it's fantastic!!!!
Muchos amor por Selena. I'm trying at Spanish. I speak as much as I can write almost. Straight English American however, lots of Latinos amigos and Amiga
Omg you have to do more reactions to her live performances! I highly recommend Disco Medley at the Astrodome! She’s Amazing and her stage presence is off the charts good!
The reason the video is clips of live performances and previous videos of her Spanish hits is because she was unfortunately murdered by her fan club president before videos for her first English language album could be made.
nice cover of a song by Gloria Estefan. She was the vocalist of a band called "Miami Sound Machine" - check out her music I know you'll love Gloria Estefan...romantic ballads, fun upbeat dance tunes super talented
Sadly she was murdered by her fan club president, just when she was taking off with these songs in English. Just to clarify, English is her first language.
The clip of her dancing with the guy is not her husband it is the lead singer of barrio boyz their is an English version and a Spanish version you definitely should check it out❤❤❤
No hate, only love! It's just a recommendation. I am speaking from my own experience, since you miss out on a lot of great music if you limit yourself to English only. Not lecturing, just sharing my musings. Again, mucho amor! ❤
I am white.. and let me tell you.. when Selena came out in the 90's.. even young white boys like me fell in love with her.. such a beautiful voice. and such beautiful music.... some fun songs as well.. but anyways.. My point is.. SHE WAS THAT GIRL!! She blew up very quick.. and was loved.. but died way too soon.. and tragically! She will always be a part of my teen years!! R.I.P. Selena!!

I was 13 when she was taken from us. I stillcry till this day. She was THE sweetest most overall talented person.
She had to learn spanish when they started out with Just her and her two siblings they called themselves Selena Y Los Dinos.
Something you didn't ask me but I'll let you know anyway.
Is that selena gomez, they have called her Selena because Selena gomez's mother is a fan of Selena.
Search TH-cam for her last concert at the Astrodome and you will see the great beauty of Selena and her beautiful charisma.
I Love Selena. Continue vídeo reactions. Love your reaction. Selena was amazing 😢❤
I saw her live just months before she was murdered by her fan club manager. She performed with the Texas Tornadoes and Cheap Trick.
So sad

Her song Dreaming of You is a classic.
gone way too soon r.i.p. selena, great reaction maddy

Please listen to more! Especially live. She was murdered at 23 about to be 24😢
So sad

the man who sang with her was just a singer!! her husband was the band's guitarist🤍🤍
I think English was her 1st language. She had to learn Spanish to sing it ❤❤incredible
Dreaming of you is a definite favorite from Selena
Maddy you are absolutely right, you just get a feeling about people and you just know they are good people. She was in early 20's I think when she lost her life. Way too young.
Right! So sad ☺️
Got to listen to more Selenas

The other one you should check out is, "Dreaming of You:". I don't speak Spanish either, but I do like her Spanish song "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom." Such a tragic loss makes it hard for people to continue to enjoy the beautiful music. I still can't listen to Whitney Houston without much sadness.
React to disco medley live at the astrodome. And you will se how talented she was also another song I think you'll love is dreaming of you
I love Selena's voice in this song, it brings a sense of peace.
Have you ever listened to Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine Maddy? Suggest "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" or "Conga". Gloria mostly sings in English. You know if you try to follow up on all the great music people will suggest it is going to take a lifetime . Nothing wrong with that.
Also for more Spanish music, I think you would like the Barrio Boyzz the song Una Ves Mas.
If you did not live in the Southwest or Northern Mexico, you probably wouldn't know her. She was a mega star in Houston. The Selena that can't sing was named after her.
Her husband was the guitar player, a very talented and still popular musician.
Heyy if u loved this you will love "Dreaming of You" from Selena. it was another of her widely popular english songs!!
You should react to this. It’s one of her best performances
Selena was a fan of Donna Summer. I fell in love w her at first sight/sound. 🙏 Continued prayers for her family. 🙏
Selina was not a native Spanish speaker. She was from the US. Her father was from Mexican ancestry and wanted Tobe a singer when he was young but the Americans o hid day didn't like him because he was Mexican and the Mexicans didn't like him because he was American singing American music.
He encouraged his children to become a band singing traditional Mexican music called Tejano.
She became the most successful female artist in that genre. And broke into yltge American scene as a cross over artist. Same as Sharkira a few years later..
You shouldn't worry about the language issue. What counts most is the music and vocals.
This song is in English, but let me recommend one of her Spanish songs. No Me Queda Mas.
R.I.P. Selena. You are still loved and still missed.
this song and video is just so haunting.
What a great reaction to one of the greatest losses in music! Selena is a cultural icon. A true & genuine legend in Latin/American music history! Billboard music named Selena as the “greatest Latin female artist of all time “ . There is a Selena museum in her hometown of Corpus Christi Texes . Please react to the following!!
Thank youuu!

So true!
It's been 8mths and I didn't read the comments, but those men are the 'Barrio Boys' her buddies and label mates shooting the video "dondequiera que estes" where ever you go, you should check 9ut the video it's fantastic!!!!
Muchos amor por Selena. I'm trying at Spanish. I speak as much as I can write almost. Straight English American however, lots of Latinos amigos and Amiga
She was singing with the Barrio Boys, who were famous in the 90’s.
Her last album was a English album to crossover. Spanish was her second language
If you are from 80-90s music lover this is one fav on a list......❤
I’m from a small island called Chuuk in Micronesia. 🇫🇲 and let me tell you, Selena is a queen back home.
Oh wow!!
Your homeland seems like a beautiful place!
Omg you have to do more reactions to her live performances! I highly recommend Disco Medley at the Astrodome! She’s Amazing and her stage presence is off the charts good!
🩷🩷🩷
English was her first language, she had to learn spanish!
Wow I would have never guessed!
You can also react to her Disco Medley . You will love it, she has so much charisma
The reason the video is clips of live performances and previous videos of her Spanish hits is because she was unfortunately murdered by her fan club president before videos for her first English language album could be made.
Her BF was the guitar player, which she married a few years befire she was killed at 23 yrs old..She was crossing iver from spanish to pop, r&b
Right on point! Such a tragedy, though!
Love her ❤❤❤
nice cover of a song by Gloria Estefan. She was the vocalist of a band called "Miami Sound Machine" - check out her music I know you'll love Gloria Estefan...romantic ballads, fun upbeat dance tunes super talented
Oooh! I’d love to! Send a request in of your favorite of her’s! 🤍
I'm not sure how to do that - send in a request - thought that was what I was doing here! LOL @@MaddyReactions
This song was from her crossover album release after her death
You gotta watch the movie now!!
Every time I hear " No me queda mas" It breaks my heart and tears swells in my eyes. Rest in peace Princess.
Listen to Captive Heart, she's great in that one too.
A legend chiming in with the Angel, what a Homecoming ❤
Great song choice to react maddy
Her husband was in the band
WOW! That’s so sweet
Yup her husband is in the band I don't think that guy next to her is her husband.
Her death was such a tragedy if you’ve ever seen the movie made about her played by singer actress J Lo ❤
Btw you radiate love and beauty ❤
From the movie, English was her first language.
Chris Perez, her guitar player, was her husband. The other singer is just a friend & singing mate.
Sadly she was murdered by her fan club president, just when she was taking off with these songs in English. Just to clarify, English is her first language.
So sad
The clip of her dancing with the guy is not her husband it is the lead singer of barrio boyz their is an English version and a Spanish version you definitely should check it out❤❤❤
The guys dancing with them are the Barrio Boyz, from the East Coast. React to their song Donde Quiera Que Estés
No hate, only love! It's just a recommendation. I am speaking from my own experience, since you miss out on a lot of great music if you limit yourself to English only. Not lecturing, just sharing my musings. Again, mucho amor! ❤
