  • "Selena" star Christian Serratos recognized she had some big shoes to fill when she took on the titular role of the Netflix series. Not only was she going to be compared to the original singer Selena, but also Jennifer Lopez who wowed audiences with her performance in Greg Nava's 1997 “Selena” biopic.
    Similar to the previous biopic, Serratos made the decision not to sing her own version of Selena's songs and opted to perform the singer's original music instead. "I recorded quite a few songs, and I think it was always supposed to be the actress singing but … I always wanted it to be Selena because I was such a fan," she said.

      It's only right. If you're making a movie / series about such a legendary artist, I feel like it's the respectful thing, both to that artist, and their fans. It's very rare that an actor or an actress can sing the songs of a legendary artist in their own voice, and really do their songs justice enough to make the part they're playing believable. That's how I feel, anyway.

      Agreed. Even though at first I felt like Christian wasn't "nailing" the role of Selena, there's no way anyone can be *exactly* like Selena. She was a one of a kind star and she was tragically taken from the world much too soon. I think it's a touching detail to help us remember that THE Selena is gone and we are just watching an actress portray her.

The story line is amazing and the transitioning from child to adult is on point. They’re telling you the story of Selena and y’all are only worried about her lip syncing and body movements being off. Y’all focus on one wrong and forget about the other things they made right.

      I watched all the episodes of the Selena's series that's on netflix. I think it's bad. She wasn't good for the roll. She did bad. She doesn't even look like Selena. Not even a little bit. She's skinner than Selena. The people that played the parents, the brother, the sister, & the husband. Didn't even look a little like them. The wigs they wore in the netflix series look bad. Her lips singing is bad. The green screen looks stupid. I don't like how the netfilx series made it like it wasn't about Selena's legacy & her death. It was about Abraham how he came up with the band, & how he managed the band from when they were kids till Senela died. The 1997 Selena movie is better. Jennifer Lopez played Selena very well. The parents, the brother, the sister, Selena's husband look kind of like them. The movie didn't use a stupid green. The 1997 did a good job at portraying Selena's legacy, Selena Chris's love story & Selena's death well. Jennifer Lopez did a very good job at doing the roll of Selena. At least the people who played the parent, the brother, the sister, & Selena's husband looked like them a little bit. I can watch the movie so many time & not get bored of it. Every time I watch the movie I cry.

      Not everyone, I’m from Texas n I have family and friends that have always loved that Selena from when she was starting, she was famous here. I also was born in Monterrey so she was their goddess over there. We r happy to c this Selena from the 80s, we r happy to c more of the story of Pete Astudillo cus he was essential to los dinos n he was a big deal, he had a solo career and is a song writer to A LOT of Mexican singers, still. I was disappointed that both Pete and Chris didn’t look at all like the real ones, but if u get past that, it’s a good story. The movie was rushed, in the movie it pretty much shows that Selena’s dad forgave her and Chris the day after they eloped, in reality Selena leaves with Chris for about 2 yrs and Abraham manages/produces Pete during that time alongside some of the Dinos.

    I’m very curious to how this series will turn out as they are using Selena’s real musical voice in the series. Hopefully there will be a soundtrack sold like as for the movie. Also Selena was Mexican American, third generation from TX , her grandparents were from northern Mexico. She was forced to go into Mexican music as this was and is what they played in bailes etc. Her dad knew this is how they would get a foot into popularity then crossover. Selena wanted to sing pop , country etc in English, I believe she would had made it in English either way because no one else has that voice of hers . Because honored and blessed she stuck to her roots. She had to learn Spanish after singing in Spanish fanatically. Just saying.

Superficially, it is easy to misrepresent; but scratch deeper, and you will see that its our culture's veneration to life, family, human bonds, and love. These too are Mexican stories.

We long - time fans will be able to tell if that's the case. I hope so. Been looking forward to this. I mean, the series is being made with her family's blessing, or so I've been told, so I can only assume that it will be pretty accurate as far as Selena's life and career are concerned.
