In Memoriam

Filed under: Latinolicious

The beautiful and talented Selena's life was cut tragically short thirteen years ago today at the too tender age of 23.

She had so much life ahead of her!

Thankfully, her music lives on. And THIS is one of our favorite Selena songs.

…AND THEN…Jennifer Lopez had to go STEAL her life away too.
Sad. I wish Selena lived and JLO was the one that….u know. I mean, JLO had to go copy her singing voice, her designing clothes, even marry a guy name Chris who is was in her band. JLO the big copycat. Fat fuck.

Pues es lamentable el hecho de que haya muerto asesinada, pero lo que me parece extraordinariamente real, es que esto la convirtio en leyenda,al igual que con otros artistas que mueren jovenes, y en la cuspide de su carrera

Cosas que ocurren

Angelica says – reply to this

Already?
I mean i am brazilian, i heard of her after her tragic death. So sad. And then was that movie with Jennifer Lopez, i started to search things about the real Selena. Sadness.
The world isn't fair.
And people, please stop comparing her with J.Lo. It's an offense to Selena's memory.

RIP Selena. You were an amazing talent.
Mary K says – reply to this

42

I only found her music shortly after she died. She had a wonderful voice then I saw the movie of her life and it made me cry. She was such a wonderful young person and didn't deserve to go that way. I wish she could still be here today because I think she would be on top of it all. I also think she deserved to be on top of it all unlike some celebs today.
JoJo says – reply to this

43

it is a shame……….. & what was left in her legacy??!!!

FUCKING JENNIFER LOPEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just imagine what could have happened right now for the latin community if Selena's spirit and talent could have lasted.

thank you Perez for posting this up!

ugh!
fuckin J. LO SUCKS !!—— i don't see her remembering what got her started !

She is my idol! Thank you for remembering her today! I was devastated when this happened because she meant so much to Tejanos like me and Tejano music! I can't believe its been so long! She is still truly missed!
Gracias!! te amo Perez!!
Selena, the Legend says – reply to this

Selena, my idol…..She had THE voice of an angel…she was beautiful inside and out, she could dance like no other…and she was kind and humble….always respected and appreciated her fans. Guess God wanted her a lil closer to him. RIP Selena, YOU WILL NEVER BE REPLACED or forgotten!!!

Los sueños dulces, ángel pacífico. Usted fue demasiado bueno para esta tierra, pero su voz permanece atrás y nos recuerda de su valor. Hasta que encontremos en el Cielo, continuemos dirigir el coro de Dios de ángeles.

I can't believe that it has been 13 years, wow where does the time go. Its just a terrible terrible shame that this happened to such a talented and amazing person, may her spirit live on forever thru her music and in all of her fans hearts. I will celebrate her life tonight with my daughter by watching the Selena movie for about the millionth time

58

Thank you for posting this, it brought back so many amazing memories. I am from Corpus Christi and as a little girl saw her perform many times. She is unarguably the best Latina artist ever!!
evian says – reply to this

59

I just read this on her imdb.com page:
"When Marcela was pregnant with Selena, her parents were convinced they were having a boy. The name they had chosen was Marc Anthony. Selena's name was chosen when her mother's roommate had chosen that name for a girl she was gonna have, but she had a boy, thus Selena's name was born"

Marc Anthony with she would be born a man. The same name of J.Lo husband. I just think its a little creepy.

Jennifer Lopez would NOT EXIST today had this amazing talent not been taken from us.

67

she was a famous person who actually had talent…Today's celebs and singers usually have horrible voices, but I think this video shows that she had a beautiful voice, and she really did help put latinas on the map in the entertainment industry.

Oh dear god, I was PRAYING you'd post something on her. Now I can say that I DO love you, Perez. I can't look at the video, it makes my eyes water up. I hate it. I hope Yolanda ROTTS!!! Selena's memory will live on FOREVER. I can't belive it's been 13 years, I was about 7 or 8 when it happened, and I remember. . I was at school .. I cried. Then I got my mom to buy me her doll and I cried even more. . MY IDOL. I LOVE YOU SELENA!!

I live here in Corpus Christi, and I wasnt a big fan of hers but i remember living in some apartments that are by the cemetary she is buried at and every year on her b-day and the date she died, there are tons of people there..they still go there every year. She was a beautiful woman and had a great voice. Her grave site is on of the most beautful I have ever seen.

Thank you so much for letting her memory live on, this is really sweet of you. She was talented, beautiful, real, and inspirational. This is a true role model, not the talentless trash we have to "entertain" us today. J-lo did her no justice as well. Anywho, thanks again for this.
j. says – reply to this

87

Watch her movie and her concerts. Still very relevant for today. The musical they did on her life was awsome. I wish it could be revived.

Such a MONUMENTAL loss to music and fans EVERYWHERE!!! Shot down in the infancy of her career. Selena would have become a HUGE star!!! She had just barely gotten started!!! Music, Fashion, and I'm sure acting was right around the corner. Her light and sweet voice have been missed but will never be forgotten. I wish her family comfort today and hope they know her fans still play her music, and think of her more often than not!
amie says – reply to this

91

I demand a remake of the shiteous movie, Jennnifer Lopez ruined her image!!!
Oh, and last nights broadcasting on Univision, I loved that they played the whole concert, but those people talking in between?!?! I liked the BIG bash they threw for her last year .. or was it on her 10th anniversary? Anyway, if she is still being remembered 13 years later, that says a lot. We love you. By the way, does anyone know what happened to her boutiques? Have they since been closed?
Silvia says – reply to this

92

You should also show J.Lo on the movie about Selena.**

She (Selena) has a wonderful slow song too… I just dont remember its name lol
chicago girl says – reply to this

93

Still heart breaking after all this time. I just don't think fans can ever get over her being gone. So many great things were just on the horizon. I think we were just getting a glimpse as to how great she would have become. Such a great heart and good soul…she will always be missed.

We were truly blessed to have her even if it was for a short time.
BB says – reply to this

94

I'm going to listen to my Amor Prohibido CD as soon as I get home. She could interpret a song like nobody's business regardless of language.
The singers out today could learn a lot from her.

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
