Exactly! I'm a tejano music fan & I didn't feel JLo did Selena justice in the movie in which she starred in about her life. Sel had 'more spunk'. JLo matching Selena's dancing skills were just mediocre at best. But then JLo is Puerto Rican & Selena was Mexican-American, so I don't believe she was able to pull it off. I doubt JLo ever even heard of Tejano music before then or listened it. She did have her butt tho. 😊
