In Memoriam
Filed under: LatinoliciousThe 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.
R.I.P.

Re: just a watchin – you weren't the only one who noticed!! JLO was soooo freakin abnoxious when she was laughing and talking like Selena!! What a frekkin wannabe!! totally with you there!
did u know selena did porn videos
Re: Just Me –
Selena, rest her soul, was a talented woman who is still missed.
BUT
Whatever her family is a bunch of fuckwads.
BUT;;;;;; The only nice person is her mother.
HER DAD IS A HOMOPHOBIC RACIST IGNORANT INFELIZ BIGGOT WHO WILL ALWAYS USE PEOPLE TO MAKE MONEY- shit look at that huge Selena-Vive concert he was behind: bet yall didn't even know he made a lot off that.
AND ALSO, MISS JLO WASN'T EVEN FUCKING THERE CAUSE SHE BIT THE HAND THAT MADE HER KNOWN CAUSE NOBODY GAVE A FUCK ABOUT HER BEFORE THE SELENA MOVIE. Her brother AB is a washed up gangster wannabe with no respect to anyone and just like the rest of them creates his own drama and makes sure that he always comes out lookin like the VICTIM so ppl will feel sorry for him.
Vive SELENA, who was down to earth and the epitome of what a star SHOULD be: True to talent and true to herself.
ps… Hey Perez: why didn't you do any coverage of that bus accident that Emilio recently had? It had a huge impact on the tejano community as well. did you know that him and selena had duets together?
LOL… AMERICAN people are sooooo racist… Omg!! They have to understand that theres a place for everyone in the world, thinking like that just makes the devil smile… Change your mind for Gods sake, we are all part of God…
BTW, Selena was born in the United States, in Texas. She was very talented and an amazing person and thats all about. Don´t be soooo immature!!!! Those comments only makes me laugh. She was very famous when she was alive, but all her songs were in Spanish… She was going to try in the United States with an English album, but unfortunately she was murdered. She became a leyend after that… If you haven´t heard of her, you are an ignorant and probably a racist too.
RIP Selena.
why does everyone always have to argue about stupid shit on here. All Perez did remind everyone that Selena was a wonderful singer and that she will never be forgotten. As im reading some other post, people are talking about how her parents are to blame, how stupid mexicans are and so forth. Just shut up!! Have a heart!!

RIP Selena and please RESPECT her… That we all respect all your american talents.
I'm glad to see that you're a Selena fan Perez. She was such a genuine person that it's good to see that she really captured all sorts of people, from the cynics to the overly trusting. Good job on remembering her.
Thank you so much for posting this. I can't believe it's been thirteen years! We'll never forget you Selena!
I never post on this site… But thank you Perez for posting this. Selena was a very talented artist and a very kind individual. It's a shame she had to go so early… Her music will live on forever!
Re: Nobody – omg.. how dare u…have some respect
Thank you Perez for remembering such a great talent. godspeed.
Selena, we Love you Always:) Thank you Perez for posting this:)!!!!!! There is always a smile in my heart when I think of her because she gave Love to everyone who came into contact with her and I still pray for her, looking forward to seeing her again one Day.
I was a fan since I first heard her and her music still lives today in its own right for what it is-Love. A beautiful person and singer. Her death made her a legend for all the Gifts she was Granted and Gave to everyone else.
We will always remember you, my love.
Please, to everyone else who may not have known her and/or liked her for whatever their reasons, she is dead and God has already Judged her. Respect her by silence of the negative.
Also, JLo should not be mentioned with her in any way. She doesn't deserve it for there is no comparison in the least. Selena was an Artist in her own right and should be remembered so Always.
Selena was starting to cross over into American music. She was born and raised in Texas. English was her first language. The ironic thing is in this video she thanks her opening act, Emilio Naviara. Right now Emilio is fighting for his life at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX from a brain injury. He was in a awful accident in Houston on Easter Sunday.
Hey you racist fuckheads, I suppose one can't expect any better than the offspring of the thieving "pilgrims" who have tried to build an empire by stealing land from the Indians and yes, the Mexicans. As if such antecedents weren't enough, you're also living under some delusion about your "whiteness" - maybe you need a lesson in science to make you understand once and for all that your white color is merely the result of less melanin, not a carte blanche (yeah, pun intended) to rule over the world. Maybe if your ancestors hadn't been thieves, you might have been the ones serving the Mexicans.
I was at her last concert….it was great! She willl always be missed!
viviras por siempre en nuestros corazones!!!
still makes me cry.. so damn sad!
RIP
We Love u Selena!
God rest Selena. but how in the hell are you going to mention her, but not BRANDON LEE, WHO DIED 15 YEARS AGO TODAY??????????????????? god rest Brandon Lee.
Que dios la tenga coronada! Talented and Beautiful! Rest In Peace SELENA! Tu musica vivira para siempre!
I miss you dear friend. Thank you Perez for the post in rememerance and happy belated birthday.
Perez! I can't thank you enough for posting this on a huge idol to the latino community! I am born and raised in San Antonio, TX (neighbor to Corpus Christi her hometown) and I can still remember the day she was taken from us. I can't believe its been 13 years already! Her death was devastating to everyone here in San Antonio. She was a regular here…and when you saw her she treated you like a normal person and NEVER once let her fame go to her head. She was a down to earth person…and never forgot where she came from. If she was still here with us she would have gone above and beyond in everything she put her heart into! Thank you again for putting this on here…I love you even more Perezito!!! Besos Grande!!!!
I LOOVEEE HER!! PEREZ YOU ROCK!!
RIP Selena. One of the few Latin stars who was ACTUALLY MORENA and not white-looking like so many of them.
it truly was my favorite song of hers…. You rock Perez… Keep on loving that Latin heritage!
thank you for remembering her perez!
Thanks for posting the Perez!!! i can't believe its been so long, i was only 7 when it happened but i still remember that very sad and tragic day… Its great to see people still remember!!!
So Tragic!
She'll remain 23 in our hearts.
thanks Perez! this still makes me sad..if only..i saw Selena when she was 12 or 13, at a performance in a nite club, she was next to me lookin at herself in the mirror…..
It was sad to see her go, she was a great artist
R.I.P. Selana, we love and miss you. I wll forever be one of your biggest fans.
Re: Nobody – hey ass hole if you dont have nothing to say good about selena keep your mother fucking mouth shut bitch everyone knew who she was oops apparently except u dumb idiot!
I wouldnt necessarily grieve for a spick but at least that one had a minuscule of talent
Re: Muher – hey ass hole if you dont have nothing to say good about selena keep your mother fucking mouth shut bitch everyone knew who she was oops apparently except u dumb idiot!
Perez,
Thanks so much for putting this posting. Selena was a wonderful artist who meant a great deal to so many people. She was an inspiration and we will never forget her and her music
Have new found respect for you. Take care.
Re: Tsk Tsk –
lol WELL SAID!
poor selena i wonder what happend to her did people get so jealous that some body just smack the shit out of her andthen stab her too death or did nicole richie steal her face because it looks like niolce richie got about 500 botox…… more like botoxic
RIP, we love Selena.
Thanx Perez, made me cry and dance. Will always love you Selena.
Re: Tsk Tsk –
Great come back. I admire that greatly! Do you study the history of America?
R.I.P SELENA.
LOL Perez, you are soooo gay, i should know yr fav song of Selena would be this. Anyway RIP Selena… my fav song of her is "Si una vez", she died too young, we will always miss her
RIP Selena….she was so young and beautiful to be taken from us so soon. Had she not been murdred there's no doubt in my mind that she would've had a wonderful career. Even though I couldn't understand what her songs…except the english ones I really liked her music.
can't believe its been 13 years and at 23!! im 25 and can't imagine leaving this world at this early age. I can only imagine where she would be right now and YES i do believe J-LO is a copy cat and Selena would be #1
I have heard the details of Selena's tragedy, but I had never heard Selena sing before. After hearing this, it brought tears to my eyes literally. Such a wonderful voice, cut short by a crazy maniac. I think she would have been so much more, given the opportunity. So sad. So sad. Rest in peace, beautiful lady. I hope you are at rest now.
She was one of the best and is sorely missed!
thanks Perez for remembering Selena on your blog! love the video! love Selena and miss her so much!
you know her parents are super religiouszzzzzz(i think mormon) and they dont believe in blood transfusions.. or something or other.. well, i heard that Selena could have survived if they would have been allowed to give her blood, but her family was against it because it is against their believes….. can u believe?
RIP
Love Selena always!!! since i was 9!! one of my favs! It's so sad, she was so talented and looked so happy..her songs taught me spanish (even though i have no idea what i'm singing jk!) My fav all time song ever is Dreaming of you!!! awww
she will never be forgotton… i wish she was stil alive so she could kick J'lo's ass! J'lo would still be a back up dancer..ughh pisses me off she's living Selena's dream and soo copying her…RIP SELENA
J.Lo should thank this woman ever existed….If it wasnt for Selenas untimely death…trust me J.lo would have been NOBODY!!!! Selena would have been who J.Lo is today…funny how life works..
Gone but never forgotten!
She is part of our latin culture FOREVER..and i couldn't have picked a better song…
i heart you perez
Thank you so much for doing this Perez, much love! Thank you for keeping Selena alive
i love you selena!! cant believe its been 13 years, imagine if she were still alive… she would be bigger then Madonna.
Re: Vanessa – it has been 13 years dumbtard
She brought a cultural movement to the front! We love you Selena!
Thanks Perez for posting this!! I had been hoping someone would remember this day… RIP Selena
Selena was so amazing and talented! My fav song all time is dreaming of you! She is very much missed and will always be one of my fav artists. She always looked so happy! I agree that J'lo is copying Selena..EARTH TO J'LO: YOU WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS SELENA! SHE WAS SO TALENTED YOU ARE NOTHING! thank u soo much Perez for posting this!! RIP SELENA
She always was and always will remain an angel. I have always looked up to her since I discovered her music when I was 10. She has touched my life and given me hope and faith when I most desprately needed it. I like to believe that we're all reborn, but someone as special as her cannot live on through one spirit. I believe Selena lives on, with a little bit of her spirit living through each and every one of us who loved her and continue to keep her memory alive. Thank you Perez for remembering this remarkable woman. She will never be forgotten. =)
sad moment" she had so much to live for!!!!!!!!
that fucking stupid bitch who killed her!
wow 13 years. I remember when she was taken from us. Thank you for posting this video. A very sad day in music.
Selena had an ass bigger than Kim K and J-Lo, but she also had CLASS. Miss her sooo much.
we will always miss you selena R I P
We miss you SELENA, Live with the Angels. R.I.P.
YES…REST IN PEACE SELENA. YOUR LIFE WAS CUT SHORT BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER. ALSO PLEASE PRAY FOR EMILIO. MAY HE HAVE A FAST AND SPEEDY RECOVERY…ALL THE TEJANOS KNOW WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT.
Dang.
I lived down the street from her when I was little.
She went to one of my birthday parties haha
I remember all the girls here in Corpus would lk dress up like her and sing and dance when we were little…. yeah, i was one of them too.
lol
hi there is was a beautiful video of selena she was so beautiful and full of so much talent only the good die young she will be a legend well she already is it is a sad moment today for her mom and dad all that read send some positive healing energy to her parents and husband i know they are still hurting inside what a special angel she was she was one of a kind with so much bright energy she had you could see the good inside of her soul.
I could only imagine what she would have done to the American market with her album. She's the only Latin legend that lives on like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and James Dean. I love Celia Cruz too!
She was the best.
Her songs make me feel so sad…her smile!
Forever Selena.
Rest in peace.
God Bless, Selena.
What a tragedy. She was so talented and seemed like such a kind-hearted person, too.
So sad.
Selena may be gone but she is FAR from forgotten. LOVE N MISS YOU SELENA!!!
Re: Muher – oh shut up fool
Re: Muher – shut up you fucking loser hick you don't even know who selena is stupid fuck.
Re: mike – Callate estupido gringo!!! Fuck off homie!
shes the fucking greatest… i get the chills just hearing her and remembering all that her music brings back.. childhood memories.. we loved her.. Que Dios la tenga en su gloria.
RIP Selena.
She was amazing!
Very sad.
omg i love selena
RIP Selena
i love perez for posting after 13 years selena is still loved and remembered
what is the name of this song?
It's beautiful!
Re: mike – who? your momma I'm sure she did.
Selena was the queen of Tejano music. On this sad anniversary, let us not forget another great Tejano great who is fighting for his life at this very moment. Emilio Navaira has been in a coma since last week after a horrible bus accident in Houston. Keep Emilio in your prayers!!!
Selena and Emilio were the queen and king of Tejano. It was awesome to see them perform together. I loved their duet, "Tu Robaste Mi Corazon."
Pray that we don't lose another Tejano legend early.
Descansa en paz, Selena.
thank you so much for this perez.
i LOVE selena, shes my idol, shes just amazing..
shes not remembered as much as she SHOULD be.
again, thank you.
RIP selena, we love you
HMMMM Another dead mexican, and this one has been dead for 13 years.
She was awsome. I wonder where she would be right not with her music a DIVA of course. I miss her music. RIP Selena we love you.
Ah!
We sang Como La Flor in Spanish class this past year.
I have this concert on DVD, It's amazing. Selena IS and ALWAYS will be my favorite singer. I can still remember the day she died, I have never forgotten
R.I.P. Selena, I love you!
I remember that tragic day as if it were yesterday… Selena didn't deserve to die such a horrid death, she was a sweetheart and an amazing talent. She still remains my favorite singer. Love you girl!
Thanks P for posting this!! I love the fact that you are bicultural. RIP Selena..youtube "missing my baby".
NOBODY knew JLo before this movie and well…it sucked, as much as i love Selena..it sucked. Blame the Director!!! In Tx, Cali & NY she was well known outside the latin community..give the girl some credit. Back then latin artists had to fight really hard to be taken serious and she was ALL AMERICAN at that and fought twice as hard!! With no disrespect, She accomplished a lot more in her life by age 23 than most accomplished artists today did at that age. Even the lady who played her in the film!!!
never heard of her. that video's kind of tacky though, sorry.
Thank you for posting this Perez!! She had an amazing voice…so tragic that she left us at a young age!!
I will always love SELENA, WE MISS YOU SELENA LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!!
Perez! I love you!!
Thank you for posting this video. It still hits me hard, I was in the 7th grade and we had our radio on and the DJ announced that Selena had been killed. To this day I still get goose bumps.. Gone by not forgotten by any one!!
RIP SELENA!!!!
the man in the the purple shirt in the end(6:33)is my dad,he was her bodyguard from 1993 till her death.
I still love her…Tear…..It's still very very sad to me, we lost a great star, but just like a true star she still shining brightly from heaven! Love you Selena R.I.P
