FANTASTIC!| FIRST TIME HEARING Selena - Como La Flor REACTION

[@annettehunt900]

I think she sang about 13 songs dancing in heels. No costume changes no water. She had a lot of stamina. Never looked tired. She was such a humble down to earth sweet person. That troll that took her life is now sitting in prison with her name, forever linked to Selena. I hate watching her walk off the stage because she’s got a little bit of a month to live. She told the audience that she would see them again soon at the end before the fireworks. Just a loss that I can’t get over. I like to think of her as frozen in Time forever at 23.

[@eastcoastaj5048]

No lip sync, no AI, no autotune. Just pure TALENT.

[@Elisa82694]

No earpiece! She could barely hear herself and there’s obviously a delay in reverb in a place so big. And that show was impeccable. May she rest in peace.

I think what made Selene truly special is the fact that she grew up as an American and eventually dove into making Hispanic music. It’s a beautiful blend of two cultures which made her sound very unique. Her heavy inspirations were actually American singers like Madonna and when you add in the flair of Hispanic music, you get what Selena was

[@JeffSearust]

Old white Texas rancher, lifelong Texan, and this girl still brings tears to my eyes. Such a massive loss for America.

[@stephj9378]

Brings back memories as a high school Spanish teacher. The Nashville area was short on teachers.And I was (gulp!) pressed into service. I got through several years, relying on grammar, commands and lots of Latin culture. Selena's music still gives me chills. That concert at the Astrodome was fire! The Selena movie drew me in . Then getting to know the real Selena was extra special. Beauty and talent. One of my top pics for the classroom was Bidi Bidi Bom Bom ( Best translated as 'Pitty pat') My personal favorites are Como La Flor and I Could Fall in Love. Thanks to you guys for doing this ! I'll be listening to Selena on my way home today.

I personally believe she would have become a "joining" influence between the USA and Mexico.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

"Como La Flor" translates in English to "like the flower". In this song, Selena is comparing losing a love to "like the flower" dying. Another good one from her is "Bidi,Bidi Bom Bom".

[@laurogarza4953]

I was there at the Astrodome for that show during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. She, like all the other musical artists was brought into the arena aboard a white carriage. She ascended the revolving circular stage and performed to a record sized audience. She beat out acrs like Elvis, Barry Manilow and George Strait! After all thise shows it was common for fireworks to be activated INSIDE the Adtrodome! As she departed the stage, she again boarded the long white, horse drawn, carriage and paraded around the grounds again before finally leaving so the rodeo could continue and finish. It is a common misconception that was her last concert. It was her last BIG show but she performed several small club shows afterwards. Two weeks after the big show, being a Houston area deputy Constable, I was assigned to her protection detail at another local club concert. It was drizzly and cold that night and I placed my patrol jacket because as we walked from her bus around the back of the to a service service, she shivered in her typical close fitting costume. Afterwards she gave me an autographed photo. She was murdered just two weeks later. My favorite song of hers is "No me queda más." It is a song of heartbreak and she filmed in the classic Mexican fashion while wearing an evening gown and with her hair up. She was a truly a classic beauty. I hope y'all will watch the video I suggest.

She was going to change the landscape with that wonderful voice of hers.she was already huge and was going to be a lot bigger. That woman needs to just stay where she is. Greedy crazy thing that she is. This was so senseless. This beautiful Soul trusted her & cared for her & she stole from her & then killed her. She needs to stay where she is.

I still want to cry every time I see her in this, her last concert. My God, what a loss to the entire country and world! I have never seen another entertainer just ooze so much joy, passion, sadness and love in music. And to think of the pain she must have experienced as she ran away from that woman, stumbling, gasping, crying for help. Como la flor. That's what she was like.

@@user-or1ye3iz6d Few have touched so many lives, but I do believe that such people as Selena were like angels sent to us for only a brief while to bring us joy and to remind us the sweetness that is always possible in a world that seems to have so little.

Rob Squad, it's not Hispanic, it's Mexican. Puerto Rican music is kick a*s all the way. Celia Cruz, a Cuban gets everyone dancing on the first note. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Your reactions will surely be welcomed. ❤😁👍

[@timward3116]

@@drc1989 Well, strictly speaking, if we were going to be very precise, wouldn't we call it ""Tejano? I mean, it isn't "Mexican from Mexico," after all - even though it was huge over most of the Spanish-language world. I agree that "Hispanic" is sort of too large a term and, frankly, I've never heard it used in relation to music. Would you say Gloria Estefan's Mi Tierra is Cuban even though it is technically not from Cuba? Most people would, I think. At least most of the Mexican-Americans I know would. Instead of "Hispanic," the term "Latin" used to be used generally to indicate all music in Spanish (by us white folks LOL). Is there still the Latin Grammies? Anyway, we should try to use more precise terms to give credit to the country where the style originated (if not where the actual band and song originated), but please know that our hearts are in the right place - even though we might not know the name of the place!

[@drc1989]

@@timward3116 I appreciate where you're coming from, but many of us don't culturally recognize the border as ours and still identfiy our expressions as Mexican. The affirmation of what some term as the other side of the border is recognition of our unbroken ties to our identity. You come across as an interesting person of true dialogue.

[@ChanelStuff]

I've never seen a reaction to Selena before, and now I know why. I cried the whole time. One of the most amazing things about Selena was how she touched you personally. I always felt part of her family thanks to the movie and her music. Her fans were front and foremost her #1 priority outside of her blood family. The fact that someone that she thought was a friend, stole money from her fans was the most hurtful thing to her and she paid the ultimate price for calling Yolanda out for it. She will be sorely missed buy her fans (including this old white woman from Oklahoma). Selena was a pure heart and a pure spirit and this world is less without her. RIP Selena💔 Jennifer Lopez did a phenomenal job portraying the beautiful young lady❤

[@mariliamerino]

I didn't like it, she was super overacted in the Astrodome scene, it seemed like she just wanted to break the stage with her heels.

[@pattyestrada6]

This Houston Astrodome concert was her last, before she was taken from us 😢. I love rewatching these performances, but it always makes me sad. “Si Una Vez” “No Me Queda Mas” (video version) and “Ya No” (which is one of my favorite songs, Chris really adds some of his rock background to it).

Please please please react to Selena, the movie about her life starring Jennifer Lopez as Selena. This takes me straight back to the mid 90s. I still know every word to every song on the Dreaming of You CD, even though I don't speak Spanish. (Though I wish I could, it's a beautiful language.) I think you would really like Techno Cumbia. It's a fun, fast-paced song that's a fusion of several different genres from several different cultures. A couple of good Selena songs that are a mix of Spanish and English lyrics are God's Child (Baila Conmigo) and Wherever You Are (Donde Quiera Que Estes.) I think you'd like both of those a lot. God's Child has a heavy bongo beat that I have a feeling Jay would be into.
