Selena Quintanilla was murdered about seventeen years ago in 1995 by an angry employee, Yolanda Saldivar. I recently read that Selena's husband is writing a book on her, which reminded me of her songs and voice, which I've always liked.
The pathetic Jennifer Lopez, the non-singing pop star who is all over the place, starred in Selena (as Selena) in her break out movie role in 1997. She doesn't even come close. Lopez got where she is by riding on the Hispanic bandwagon. I think Hispanics should rally to remove this embarrassment (i.e. don't buy her music). I don't think she would have any clout, or presence, if not for "ethnic loyalty." Her clothing line is failing, and the indomitable Anna Wintour of Vogue had her black listed for a while after a disastrous Vogue photo shoot, where Lopez and her gang apparently took off with sample products that were meant just for the photo shoot.

In the tradition of the "Tejana" chanteuse, Selena Quintanilla sings "Tu Solo Tu."
I cannot find a good enough translation, so it's best to listen to her in Spanish (she also sang in English, but apparently not this song).
Mira como ando mi amor
Por tu querer
Borracha y apasionada
Nomas por tu amor
Mira como ando mi bien
Muy dada a la borrachera
Y a la perdicion
Coro:
Tu, solo tu
Has llenado de luto mi vida
Abriendo una herida
En mi corazon
Tu, solo tu
Eres causa de todo mi llanto
De mi desencanto
Y desesperation
Solo tu sombra fatal
Sombra del mal
Me sigue por dondequiera
Con obstinacion
Y por querer olvidar
Me tiro a la borrachera
Y a la perdicion
(Coro)
This is what Hispanics should be promoting.
