I like those, plus, La Carcacha and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. I guess the most popular, but they are very catchy and have interesting music and rhythm.
I can't say I care for the English songs she started recording, very boring sounding for the most part for me and I do like ballads but not those.
Agree, birthday, not death, and they shouldn't use the term "celebrate" for the death anniversary.
I just recently saw the movie for the first time, although I'm practically Selena's age if she were living, but I was looking around, watching a couple interviews with her siblings. Her sister had said how humble Selena really was. I think they were a very close family, supportive of each other, doesn't seem to be any jealousy between them, and Selena was concerned with being a good role model for children as she had acknowledged many of her fans were so, so no explicit lyrics. I think the parents also had a big impact on their moral codes.
I also saw some live performances. I, too, think she was the total package, her voice was really incredible. I don't know if she had any formal training to get there or just naturally gifted. She talked in the movie how she didn't exercise and ate a lot of pizza, but I don't think she realized how much exercise she got with all that dancing combined with her young age's metabolism.
I will say, the style of the English album songs is not my taste at all, seems like the bland generic love songs, but right in line for what got a lot of radio play. I think their Tejano music is more interesting and fun, at least some of the popular songs.
Agreed that her national fame came after her death, but I don't think she is overrated at all. She had a phenomenal voice, and if you watch her live performances, she has no off-key moments and I think is as good as Whitney Houston on delivery. Seems to be a very energetic entertainer.
I think she was on the cusp of national fame when she was killed, what with starting to record the English crossover album. I think she was more regionally known. Tejano music is based in Texas, and I'm sure she her popularity, and in parts of Mexico, is because of the frequent traffic between Texas and Mexico, bringing the music with them.
She couldn't have won a Grammy and drew those kinds of crowds if she was overrated.
What area of the country were you then?
I watched this again after many years last night and I thought the same about how Jake led them all there, but it all comes down to that idiot at the end. Escobar was precisely shooting at Evelyn's tires to stop her, gets held back, but then that idiot takes over and starts shooting indiscriminately willy nilly, not really aiming, and rapid fire. That is why she got hit. The blame ain't Chinatown as far as I'm concerned.
It did make me wonder if they wanted to bury it but I hadn't tied it in with the scientology.
Well, thank you for finding that!
This part annoyed me, you are right, it was her responsibility. She didn't verify who he was, period.
I saw this on the Roku yesterday, and read in the trivia that the initial concept was a remake of Risky Business. I'm glad they developed their own story, although still many similarities. I like both movies on their own.
