Exactly this series is great so far. It's capturing a lot of Salena and her family that the mainstream audience never knew about. The movie was beautifully crafted and is so precious but 2 hours was not enough to tell the entire story. Let give the family credit for the struggle and perseverance in the beginning of their journey.
@@ldybozz oh that would have been a much better name for the show! I was thinking they should have called it selena y los dinos since the show resolves around mostly the family members and the band
Yall are being so mean. I think Selena would've been proud of that girl and her hardwork. Selena was a kind soul, yall could learn a thing or two from her smh.
I agree we reacted to the Selena series and Selena both actress and original were sweet inside and out and I think she portrayed Selena very well with the way she acted
they hate her because she's not J-lo.... most of these haters never even knew selena before that dumb movie.... they have no respect for the actual artist, or her personality... the person she really was.
Thank you! I finally figured out why the actress was irking me. She is too animated on stage, all her actions are almost over exaggerated to the point of childishness. Whereas the Selena I remembered was a cool professional feel on stage. The actress isn't too bad it just feels like she is trying too hard and is over excited.
They gotta exaggerate the movements cause they’re acting out a story. JLo was the same way for the movie. Side by side the actors movements are always much more animated and sharp than the real footage.
@@QueenOfTejano. I agree but it still wasn't as noticeable in Jennifer's portrayal because she was already a professional backup dancer before she got that role. She backup danced for Janet Jackson, New Kids on the Block & was a Fly Girl in 'In Living Color'. She comes from the world of dance & made it look smooth. Christian looks like she's never danced before in her entire life I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be mean but she just wasn't the right girl for this, she looks way too amateur & out of her element as Selena. I don't see Selena in her anywhere in any way.
@@QueenOfTejano. them over actin and over exaggerating their lip sinking and dance moves is a point of failure and is cringe to watch in both actresses 😣
This is exactly what I wanted to see... the original version next to the new one. I was born after Selena's legacy, but was brought into it. I love you and all of your music Selena Quintanilla - 🥰🤩
@Pleasure Treasure they didn’t pick her, the Netflix producers did. Abraham already said they didn’t have a say in who got to play them, just basically gave the Ok.... 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Im not even a fan of Jlo But she was someone who was able to capture a close rhythm of Selena. This girl looks so cringe, she is moving so weirdly, its not convincing whatsoever.
@@Tanichka94 yeah but it gets annoying. We get it. She doesn’t look like her or act like her. That’s how movies are. It’s all about the story that counts and they’re trying the best they could to portray it. At least she has a show about her.
When I first saw Christian’s version I was like: 🤨 (Especially with the dancing) But then seeing it next to Selena herself I’m able to see where she got the moves and it’s actually looks amazing especially with this new prospective. (My only complaints are the wigs cuz,,,) but yeah either way I’m excited to see the new series, (Im especially excited to see the outfits and her teenage years).
@@Bardock025 I think It’s because when ..for example, when they did the movie, they paid a lot of attention to detail when it came to her outfits, her hair, her overall look... they tried to get everything as close to how it was, while in the series, it looks like they may have taken a few liberties with her look, or its not as exact as it could be... which isn’t to say its all bad, but i believe maybe many were expecting that same level of detail in the series...
If that was the case, im pretty sure they tried to recreate her outfits in a way christian looked good. Maybe she does not look good in the camera with exactly the same hair or something
@@dhaliazaid4479 love the fact that more people are being introduced to selena but Everybody's not going to look like everybody but when you're playing someone like Selena you could have least done the mannerism and movements right plus something as simple as lip-syncing could have been fixed in editing but it wasn't and to be completely honest it is completely and totally cringy. You think someone that would have been chosen to do Aaliyah documentary just needed to look the part? No baby girl they need to be able to dance as well and embody or even try to embody the person in every way, The best thing about Jennifer Lopez being casted as Selena for the movies is that she had the same Rhythm and dance skills and most importantly, stage presence which Christian Serratos in the new series does not. It's not something you can just act out. You have to feel the music in your soul I know what it's like to be singing and performing
I just wish they got an actress that was a little pudgier, Selena had soft rounder features and was thicker in the thighs which is a staple of her look, the actress is beautiful but way too angular in her features, i with they werent afraid to get an actress with a little weight
Oh my god she’s not going to look exactly like her every person looks different and has different features, stop being so needy and enjoy the actress for playing our Selena.
@@EllieValentineWong I never said I didn't enjoy her, just that she doesn't look like Selena. I just wished they used a Latina actress with her features, I'm not bashing the actress in any way and you don't have to be so mean about it. People come in all shapes, and there are many young girls that look like Selena.
I agree but Her father was more concerned about an actress with acting experience rather than someone that really resembled her. Her lips look real enough & she duz have acting experience. Let's give the series a chance & even if its cheesy at least we get to learn more about Selena's journey.
I feel that after JLo made the movie Selena so famous that all the other actresses they get to play Selena in future projects they tend to look for actresses who favor more JLo than the real Selena. Even the mannerisms they seem to be going more for JLo’s interpretation of Selena rather than Selena herself. This has bothered me everytime a new “Selena” movie etc comes out.
No one is going to be like Selena Quintanilla. She is unique & beautiful in her own way & there's no way they're going to find an exact repilca of her. FYI This actress was chosen by the family. It's not about how she looks but more of telling the story of how Selena & Los Dinos came to be.
@@Lovella5 I just don’t wanna watch the series because she’s not believable as Selena at all. Here she’s playing 16-year-old or 17-year-old Selena and this woman is a lot older than that. J Lo had the same body type and she could do the dance moves well, and she had a cute laugh like Selena did. I really don’t need to know much about the family dynamics because I don’t really care for her sister or her father. They’ve cut her husband out of everything and that is not honoring their daughter, because Chris was someone that she loved so much. So the movie was good enough for me. yes, it’s good that we’re still thinking about Selena today but I don’t need a Netflix series to think about Selena. I play her music all the time and I’m from Iowa. I’m currently wrapped up in a Selena blanket that my girlfriend sent me from Colorado. Since the pandemic had started, people are doing blogs, and they’re reacting to music that people are suggesting and a lot of it is Selena so people that weren’t even born in her lifetime are loving her, which is really awesome. She would be so honored to know how much we still love her to this day. I think that her father wants to continue making money off of her. They said back when she died they wanted to make the movie to dispel any negative rumors, so why do they need this Netflix series now. Money!!
@@annettehunt900 I agree with you 100%. I haven't watched the series either, and I won't ! The actress sucks. She can't dance. And Abraham and Suzie suck for cutting Chris out everything. You're right, the movie was more than enough. And yes, JLo was very similar to Selena and she could actually do the dance moves very well.
@@Lovella5 And Jlo did it without looking awkward. I really love my Selena blanket. It has pictures of her all over it and actually there’s a picture of J Lo on it wearing that black jacket with that white fluffy top but I don’t mind because she did Selena justice and when I’m snuggling in it I feel like I’m giving Selena a hug. I intend to be buried with it along with my doggies ashes. I’ll be 59 in March and I hope I am still alive and here to see that troll not get out of prison. I really hate her so much, especially when I think of how hard Selena worked in her life to get where she was, and still remained kind and humble. She took all of her dreams away. I can’t even say her name because I believe that when she knew that she was gonna be a nobody because Selena was done with her after her attempt to get her to believe that she was raped, and the doctor said no evidence of that she couldn’t handle that and now by killing her, her name is forever linked to Selena.
J-LO pretty much nailed Selena's movement, even the little gestures. Christian tries hard but it's not the same. Of course it's harder for her because her performance can be compared to both the actual Selena and J-Lo's in the movie. I saw somewhere that the movie did actually skip something quite essential, and I see that the series didn't pay attention to it as well: Selena held the microphone so close to her mouth, that it left lipstick marks on it. I didn't see it neither in the movie nor in the series so far.
This actress didn’t get time to go with the Quintanillas due to COVID so please just leave her alone, she tried ! I just feel like either way y’all wouldn’t be satisfied and you’re nitpicking.
No creo q Cristian Serrato este compitiendo ni imitando a Selena. Solo la está interpretando un personaje como lo ha hecho d manera diversa y muy bien.
These comments aren’t it, y’all are so disrespectful first you body shame the actress and also say that this series is disappointing when Selena’s family were the ones who directed that series
The fact that the series chose to pick a tiny, scrawny girl and not a thick and curvy girl is body shaming. Selena’s family are producers, not the directors of the series. Plus, AQ Jr was a producer in the 1997 Selena film. This isn’t their first rodeo.
The crowd in the original was huge and the show they make it seem as the crowd was boring but you can see they are packed literally it was her as the headline and people loved it plus it’s the middle of the day and they are squished together so of course they are not going to dance Selena in Mexico especially border town knew who she was I hate how the show makes them seem that she’s a nobody in Mexico by that time the show doesn’t say but she already had 3 albums out one with Freddie records and and the other 2 with gp records but they don’t say any of that
They put that old lady wig on Christian 🥲 it's little details like this that can mess up a whole scene. Like, why couldn't they make a wig that resembled the actual hair? The color was even wrong
Christian did a good job some dance moves for the la bamba had to be amplified due to them using the remix and not the original live version so it was faster.
exactly. she's singing into that microphone like she's singing into a hairbrush in the mirror. just NO! they should've cast another dancer-actress. the way Selena moved is literally a defining characteristic of her.
They got her hair color right in this clip. Selena’s hair looks darker here though due to the high contrast on the original video. If you look at photos her hair was a light redish brown color the way the actress has it.
The comparisons is almost identical but still good the fact they really did change on the fly and went to the other song that finally got the party started was amazing
I love how Christian Serratos personified Selena WHEN SHE WASN'T performing. She couldn't nail the Selena spirit of performance. However, I love that we have these videos to go back and see the real thing.
instead of criticizing just watch the series and enjoy watching the life of Selena. Things that were not shown in the movie, are being shown in the series.
That was intentional, I think it was her dad but he said Selena had trouble lip syncing in the beginning so they did that in the series to be as accurate as possible
You guys need to remember Selena is Selena . We are all one person . We are not all born with an identical twin. You can’t expect for her to look just like Selena .
We aren't saying Christian should look exactly like Selena it's the fact that they chose her because she looks more like Jennifer Lopez rather then Selena which is sad and doesn't make sense and Christian is very stiff with her dance moves whereas Selena was more lively which takes away the great dancer that Selena was
No it was pretty bad. I mean I still nice learning more about Selena but the whole 9 episode she didn’t give me selena at all if she like she wasn’t even the main person in series it’s all wrong lol
Yes she is😁 You should look her up when she was younger in Mi Vida Loca.. her name is Seidy Lopez. Also I don't know if you know that she also played Selena's best friend in the Selena movie with jho. The scene where they go dress shopping 😍
I thought I wouldn't like the series but I ended up binge watching it and by the end I was like "oh no, keep going" lol I'm a huge Selena fan and no, Christian Serratos does not look like Selena but I feel she did her justice, everyones acting was good and tbh, I liked how Chris Perez was portrayed in the series than in the movie. In the movie they made him seem ditzy at times 😄 What i took from this show was this, the story telling was much better and ofc much more detail, I felt they did a great job portraying the characters. By the end of the series I got used to Serratos' Selena I didn't see Serratos anymore. And ofc she doesn't look like Selena, but Selena was so unique that it's hard to find someone who will look exactly like her, not even JLo looked like Selena. But personally I thought the series wasn't bad and I'm looking forward to the second half. Oh and thanks to this series it has made my teenage daughter a Selena fan 😊
She’s definitely not the actress for it but I still can’t wait to see how the story evolves. You can’t absolutely see her insecurities of portraying an icon
People need to chill with the criticism, enjoy it for what it is, no one is ever going to be Selena, movies and life don’t work that way, they are telling a story, a fictionalization of a real life event, no detail or story is ever going to be perfect... so enjoy the show for what it is ....
Thank you!!! Early Selena is my favorite, growing up with no cable watching Johnny Canales was a treat! I was so excited to see these early performances in the series
Honestly I like the series way more than the movie. The only reason people are shitting on the series is cuz EVERY DETAIL of Selena’s life that we didn’t even know about was touched on in the series whereas the movie only highlighted moments we KNEW about already. The “Selena” movie was like a Cliff’s Notes version of her life. The series was a detailed novel broken down into episodes.
I was already skeptical about this, and this just made my skepticism WORSE. Christian, hunny, you are a beautiful girl, and I love u in the Walking Dead. But this isn’t doing it for me! AT ALL. Selena was one of a kind. She had an undeniable stage presence and charisma. Most importantly, she had rhythm and soul. That is something that JLo captured and EXECUTED masterfully. Christian not only has to fill Selena’s shoes, but she has to live up to Jlo’s performance as Selena also. So far, she is not doing too well (judging from this clip). But I will wait to watch the series before I write her off completely.
@htownlithium LIES!! I've seen Selena COUNTLESS times, THANK YOU! JLO did capture Selena's charisma on stage and mannerisms off stage! Selena's own family said it, and they know her better than anybody! Christian just did not do it for me and A LOT of other people. It is what it is!!!
Why are so many people hating on Christian I think she did a good job there are other people who probably look more like Selena but you also have to be a good actor
I LIKED THE SERIES & I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2 TO COME OUT & THE ONLY THING THAT I DO AGREE WITH SOME OF THE CRITICISM ON HERE IS THAT CHRISTIAN IS NOT A GREAT DANCER LIKE SELENA OR J.LO BUT I'M HAPPY THIS SERIES WAS MADE BECAUSE IT WILL HELP EXTEND SELENA'S LEGACY TO YOUNGER GENERATIONS, THE KIDS & TEENS NOW THAT WERE NOT BORN WHEN SELENA WAS LIVING & WHEN THE MOVIE CAME OUT & I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CREATOR OF THIS VIDEO BECAUSE I ENJOYED THE REAL SELENA VS CHRISTIAN SERRATOS MOVIE COMPARISON'S, RIP TO OUR REINA (QUEEN) SELENA!!!! #RIPSELENALAREINA #VIVASELENA2020
Ok, if they were gonna pick an actress that looks NOTHING like Selena, couldn't they at least make sure she got the lipsync, dancing, and mannerisms right? That was a choice.😒
at least she did so much better in season 2 jeez... just watch it and you’ll stay quiet, look up here on youtube the “comparison between the series and real life como la flor astrodome”
The actress isn't natural, but I like the story and incorporating Suzette and AB in this event. How they all became more proficient at their jobs and grew together to better their performances.
everyone remembers Selena the way she looked when she died and think this actress don't look like her but in reality she does look like her when Selena was starting to be famous after saying that I think this actress will need to improve a lot to portray Selena when she reached fame because by that time she was totally a different person in her looks ,singing,dancing,fashion,and stage presence she was a complete star and that's why people loved her and I don't know if this actress would be able to accomplish that.
I feel like they should of got someone that matched the age of Selena at this stage in her life. This woman looks too old to play Selena & doesn't really look like Selena. Maybe they were just in a hurry to make this series.
@@LoneRodeoJones but christian dont act at all too, even cant dance, no sing moves, dont match with the attutude of selena, her act looks soo forced and unconfortable to watch🥶
I feel like they coulda done a bit better on Selena’s wig on this one her hair was more puffy and more like a dark brown or black hair color and she had kinda bigger bangs I guess
Viendo el vídeo me dicuenta que realmente no la tuvieron fácil cual quiere cantante de este tiempo viendo el publico serío se uviera desmoralisado y ibiera llorado el publico de ates lo gambas si el artista tenia talento no como a hora cual quiera pude ser artistas aunque cante todo mal
Before anyone gets defensive.. I realize Selena has always been one of kind and will never be replaced. I just really really do not like the actress they chose… one she over does Selena’s lips while singing like she’s not a vacuum cleaner. And Selena had a baby face growing up and the actress looks so old with the costumes. It’s hard to watch.
Muchos dicen que la actriz no se parece, hay que esperar a ver cómo encarna en ella el personaje ( kristhian es muy buena actriz)... Y también en lo personal lo que importa es conocer más a fondo la vida de Nuestra Reina Selena.
Así es ,a mi la verdad no le llega al momento de actuar pero los pocos capítulos que eh visto el punto fuerte de Cris es su rango actoral,pero es que también comparar a la reina Selena que tenía una naturalidad asombrosa con una chica que está dando su mejor esfuerzo me parece injusto.
This was such a good series how about focus on the story and not the fact that they didn’t clone Selena herself get over it lol even her family loved her as Selena
can we please stop body shaming and being negative, i think Christian did a great job, you all are just comparing it to the movie, i can appreciate this series as a separate thing, no actress is ever going to look exactally like Selena this is a show but she looks close enough more than jlo ever did, plus im happy they chose a Mexican actress. It seems people care less about the story which is important and more about the fact the actress is thin.
LMAOOOO the crowd actually looks confused in the real version. I just thought it was an exaggeration 😂
People who went to see selena = people who went to see coco
"Is this the right concert? “
"Is this the right movie?"
How are they so dead at first
@@DylanRomanov coz its an English song lmao
@@fallonalexie5545 I get it but I woulda been jamming to anything Selena was playing

I'm liking how the series is able to go into detail with events like these that weren't covered in the movie.
Only good thing about it tbh

Sacan muy guapo a ab que estaba feo y fe a Cris que estaba guapa
@@Partycitybaex don’t do that. They did an amazing job!
I honestly liked this series because it isn’t just about Selena, it’s about all of them,
Then it should've been named "The Quintanilla's....the Selena years" instead.
@@ldybozz oh that would have been a much better name for the show! I was thinking they should have called it selena y los dinos since the show resolves around mostly the family members and the band
Yea I loved it too. People just like to complain
Ok but Suzzette’s wink in the series was super cute!
Suzette is my fave in the series
@@msmunoz7499 same!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for season 2!!!!!!!!

Nope! It was gold!!!!

I can’t even say her name because I believe that when she knew that she was gonna be a nobody because Selena was done with her after her attempt to get her to believe that she was raped, and the doctor said no evidence of that she couldn’t handle that and now by killing her, her name is forever linked to Selena.
Of course there isn’t a perfect match I’m just grateful the series is a thing! I am enjoying it so very much!
OMG que padrísima comparación, amo a Netflix, amo los Quintanilla y amo a Selena y los Dinos, dichosos los que estuvieron en sus conciertos 🙏🏻😔😩😪😢😢
J-LO pretty much nailed Selena's movement, even the little gestures. Christian tries hard but it's not the same. Of course it's harder for her because her performance can be compared to both the actual Selena and J-Lo's in the movie. I saw somewhere that the movie did actually skip something quite essential, and I see that the series didn't pay attention to it as well: Selena held the microphone so close to her mouth, that it left lipstick marks on it. I didn't see it neither in the movie nor in the series so far.
Cause JLO even went to live with the quintanillas to learn
This actress didn’t get time to go with the Quintanillas due to COVID so please just leave her alone, she tried ! I just feel like either way y’all wouldn’t be satisfied and you’re nitpicking.
jaydiia exactly! I liked the new actress, I don’t get why people hating
Es muy cierto JLo imitó muy bien a Selena en todos sus bailes
This actually happens on my hometown, Matamoros Tamaulipas. I was 7 years old, but I founded here on RUclips.
Thank you for continuing to let this beautiful legend shine bright and keep living on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
De verdad QUE NADIE COMO SELENA,
she was unique and irreplaceable.
No creo q Cristian Serrato este compitiendo ni imitando a Selena. Solo la está interpretando un personaje como lo ha hecho d manera diversa y muy bien.
These comments aren’t it, y’all are so disrespectful first you body shame the actress and also say that this series is disappointing when Selena’s family were the ones who directed that series
Yes!! I was thinking the same!
The fact that the series chose to pick a tiny, scrawny girl and not a thick and curvy girl is body shaming. Selena’s family are producers, not the directors of the series. Plus, AQ Jr was a producer in the 1997 Selena film. This isn’t their first rodeo.
Please say it louder for the people in the back!! Because I think this series was very beautiful
I personally loved the series . Binge watched it
@@LAQC1992 that's not how body shaming works, lol.
Anyone notice how much bigger the hair was in the original footage especially with the crowd.
The crowd in the original was huge and the show they make it seem as the crowd was boring but you can see they are packed literally it was her as the headline and people loved it plus it’s the middle of the day and they are squished together so of course they are not going to dance Selena in Mexico especially border town knew who she was I hate how the show makes them seem that she’s a nobody in Mexico by that time the show doesn’t say but she already had 3 albums out one with Freddie records and and the other 2 with gp records but they don’t say any of that
They put that old lady wig on Christian 🥲 it's little details like this that can mess up a whole scene. Like, why couldn't they make a wig that resembled the actual hair? The color was even wrong
@@iwatchtrashtv213 Agreed!! She also looks awkward when she dances when you look at the side-by-side.
She over simplified the dance which takes away the impact of her confidence & charisma
Christian did a good job some dance moves for the la bamba had to be amplified due to them using the remix and not the original live version so it was faster.
shes got her smile down
@@glopan12345 i meant the "1,2 step" its like the close ups cancel out the dancing
@@glopan12345 uh uh i was laughing at her footwork. XD
exactly. she's singing into that microphone like she's singing into a hairbrush in the mirror. just NO!
they should've cast another dancer-actress. the way Selena moved is literally a defining characteristic of her.
I wish they would have picked a thick actress she to Slim and why they didn’t get her a black wig
They got her hair color right in this clip. Selena’s hair looks darker here though due to the high contrast on the original video. If you look at photos her hair was a light redish brown color the way the actress has it.
I think the actress looks pretty good but I do agree she is kind of slim which Selena was too but I wish they had made the actress get more thick
Christina has DUMPLINGS
@@nicoledelacruz8524 not just slim but the way of lip-syncing and mannerism and movement was so cringy
This show got too much flack , I greatly appreciate the effort they went thru to give us the show! It feels more authentic and accurate
I just don’t find her convincing enough sorry... just my opinion
I agree, I think it is difficult to fill the shoes of the original artist, and unfortunately I am not convinced.
@@monicaortiz2618 true that, maybe it's the actress... but again just my humble opinion.
Me either, she's sorta just hopping around with no rhythm but Selena had so much rhythm even when she did the snappy moves of the late 80s
@@michellemartinez1994 yeah I thought so, Selena had the moves.
I think it is an overexploitation of Selena, the characters are strange and not very credible.
wey la audiencia fue de esto 🧍♀️ a esto 💃 JAJAJAJA y pensé que le habían exagerado en la serie XDD
The comparisons is almost identical but still good the fact they really did change on the fly and went to the other song that finally got the party started was amazing
Lol e but it didn't happen exactly like how it is shown in the serie but is good
They didn't actually change on the fly from what I've seen in the real life videos.
I love how Christian Serratos personified Selena WHEN SHE WASN'T performing. She couldn't nail the Selena spirit of performance. However, I love that we have these videos to go back and see the real thing.
que lindo con la voz y energía de Selena lograban hacer bailar a todos pero los dinos también se la rifaban chingon
Muy bien trabajo al poner los dos momentos 👍
This was such a cool scene. I love Suzette!!
instead of criticizing just watch the series and enjoy watching the life of Selena. Things that were not shown in the movie, are being shown in the series.
The actress can't even lip sync!
If this was a live performance that would be true. In the series, this could have been fixed in editting. It wasn't.
Facts!
omg yes i thought i was being dramatic and critical on the actress but im glad im not the only one who noticed that lol
Yes she can.
That was intentional, I think it was her dad but he said Selena had trouble lip syncing in the beginning so they did that in the series to be as accurate as possible
You guys need to remember Selena is Selena . We are all one person . We are not all born with an identical twin. You can’t expect for her to look just like Selena .
We aren't saying Christian should look exactly like Selena it's the fact that they chose her because she looks more like Jennifer Lopez rather then Selena which is sad and doesn't make sense and Christian is very stiff with her dance moves whereas Selena was more lively which takes away the great dancer that Selena was
Has anybody watched it. It is worth it. Not gonna lie to previews didnt enthuse me to much but I still wanna watch...
No it was pretty bad. I mean I still nice learning more about Selena but the whole 9 episode she didn’t give me selena at all if she like she wasn’t even the main person in series it’s all wrong lol
Y tan solo tenía, en ese momento, 16 años: Tenía una gran carrera por delante...
Y yo también vine aquí porque estoy viendo la serie en Netflix...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The lady they chose for her mom is beautiful!!
Yes she is😁 You should look her up when she was younger in Mi Vida Loca.. her name is Seidy Lopez. Also I don't know if you know that she also played Selena's best friend in the Selena movie with jho. The scene where they go dress shopping 😍
Nuestra reina de las reinas Selena forever 2021🇺🇸🇲🇽🌎💜💎
2:11 I don’t know what it is, but when Christian does that it makes me laugh 😆
Todo en ingles y yo diciendo quien viene de la serie de Netflix
Pues aprende inglés
Una vida corta, pero un legado eterno.
1:44 You can tell that Selena was disappointed the audience didn't receive her English song well.
Well it was in Mexico lol
Muy apegado, excelente y se agradece 👍👍👍👍
I thought I wouldn't like the series but I ended up binge watching it and by the end I was like "oh no, keep going" lol
I'm a huge Selena fan and no, Christian Serratos does not look like Selena but I feel she did her justice, everyones acting was good and tbh, I liked how Chris Perez was portrayed in the series than in the movie. In the movie they made him seem ditzy at times 😄
What i took from this show was this, the story telling was much better and ofc much more detail, I felt they did a great job portraying the characters. By the end of the series I got used to Serratos' Selena I didn't see Serratos anymore. And ofc she doesn't look like Selena, but Selena was so unique that it's hard to find someone who will look exactly like her, not even JLo looked like Selena. But personally I thought the series wasn't bad and I'm looking forward to the second half. Oh and thanks to this series it has made my teenage daughter a Selena fan 😊
She’s definitely not the actress for it but I still can’t wait to see how the story evolves. You can’t absolutely see her insecurities of portraying an icon
Watch it already...2 seasons! Love it
No. Just no...Selena was not bobbin her head around like a chicken in the original footage 😭😂
Jajajajaja OMG !!!!
They did a good job with the details
This series very keep every important detail. I love it.
Love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol 😂 the audience was like Jody wtf? Is that!!
The actress isn’t a smooth dancer like Selena they could’ve spent more time with her dancing in rehearsal
Fr
Don't need to hate. I thought it was amazing and it honored Selena well
You must not know how the acting industry is. It’s difficult to find someone who can act,dance, and look like Selena at the same time.
For the people that don't know where this segment was filmed, it was in Tecate Baja California :)
I Love You SELENA queen of texano 💜❤️💜
I think it was done well I really like this movie can't wait for the 2 part the ending love it selina is so proud of looking over us in heaven
they hyped up the audience more in the show than in real life
People need to chill with the criticism, enjoy it for what it is, no one is ever going to be Selena, movies and life don’t work that way, they are telling a story, a fictionalization of a real life event, no detail or story is ever going to be perfect... so enjoy the show for what it is ....
Thank you!!! Early Selena is my favorite, growing up with no cable watching Johnny Canales was a treat! I was so excited to see these early performances in the series
Honestly I like the series way more than the movie. The only reason people are shitting on the series is cuz EVERY DETAIL of Selena’s life that we didn’t even know about was touched on in the series whereas the movie only highlighted moments we KNEW about already. The “Selena” movie was like a Cliff’s Notes version of her life. The series was a detailed novel broken down into episodes.
I’m miss Selena we love you Selena
Me gusta mucho la Serie
Wow Selena❤💕
Thank you for this.
I loved that song
I was already skeptical about this, and this just made my skepticism WORSE. Christian, hunny, you are a beautiful girl, and I love u in the Walking Dead. But this isn’t doing it for me! AT ALL. Selena was one of a kind. She had an undeniable stage presence and charisma. Most importantly, she had rhythm and soul. That is something that JLo captured and EXECUTED masterfully. Christian not only has to fill Selena’s shoes, but she has to live up to Jlo’s performance as Selena also. So far, she is not doing too well (judging from this clip). But I will wait to watch the series before I write her off completely.
Look J-lo didnt capture nothing ok if you are gonna make this whole thing about j-lo then please just dont watch it period
The people who have a problem with the series are Jlo fans not Selena fans.
@@calilife3731 not true
@htownlithium LIES!! I've seen Selena COUNTLESS times, THANK YOU! JLO did capture Selena's charisma on stage and mannerisms off stage! Selena's own family said it, and they know her better than anybody! Christian just did not do it for me and A LOT of other people. It is what it is!!!
@4thelove of_beauty THANK YOU!!!
Why are so many people hating on Christian I think she did a good job there are other people who probably look more like Selena but you also have to be a good actor
the show is pretty good i love it
I LIKED THE SERIES & I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2 TO COME OUT & THE ONLY THING THAT I DO AGREE WITH SOME OF THE CRITICISM ON HERE IS THAT CHRISTIAN IS NOT A GREAT DANCER LIKE SELENA OR J.LO BUT I'M HAPPY THIS SERIES WAS MADE BECAUSE IT WILL HELP EXTEND SELENA'S LEGACY TO YOUNGER GENERATIONS, THE KIDS & TEENS NOW THAT WERE NOT BORN WHEN SELENA WAS LIVING & WHEN THE MOVIE CAME OUT & I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CREATOR OF THIS VIDEO BECAUSE I ENJOYED THE REAL SELENA VS CHRISTIAN SERRATOS MOVIE COMPARISON'S, RIP TO OUR REINA (QUEEN) SELENA!!!! #RIPSELENALAREINA #VIVASELENA2020
Ok, if they were gonna pick an actress that looks NOTHING like Selena, couldn't they at least make sure she got the lipsync, dancing, and mannerisms right? That was a choice.😒
stfu and deal w it lol
at least she did so much better in season 2 jeez... just watch it and you’ll stay quiet, look up here on youtube the “comparison between the series and real life como la flor astrodome”
That's what I'm saying
Crei que estaba puesto de mas en la serie de Netflix ....pero ya veo que si ocurrió 🤣🤣🤣
Y la jente ...que pedo estas diciendo espero no nos estés maldiciendo... 😂 jajaja
didn’t know this actually happened in real life haha the audience is the boss
The actress isn't natural, but I like the story and incorporating Suzette and AB in this event. How they all became more proficient at their jobs and grew together to better their performances.
Amazing show
I liked how they changed it
Very cool. Forever Texas
La bamba nunca falla
0:15 that guy behind the lady wasn’t haven’t it 😂 he nodded his head like nopeee
everyone remembers Selena the way she looked when she died and think this actress don't look like her but in reality she does look like her when Selena was starting to be famous after saying that I think this actress will need to improve a lot to portray Selena when she reached fame because by that time she was totally a different person in her looks ,singing,dancing,fashion,and stage presence she was a complete star and that's why people loved her and I don't know if this actress would be able to accomplish that.
It looks EXACTLY! the same!
I dont completely agree
Oie... que gran actriz Christian Serratos!
I feel like they should of got someone that matched the age of Selena at this stage in her life. This woman looks too old to play Selena & doesn't really look like Selena. Maybe they were just in a hurry to make this series.
Yes!
i think its the hair Christian looks best with straight long hair and the wig makes her look older
she was the family’s pick. her sister mentioned there was someone else who looked just like her but could not act at all.
She was a bad pick period she may be a great ẩctor but not for selena role
@@LoneRodeoJones but christian dont act at all too, even cant dance, no sing moves, dont match with the attutude of selena, her act looks soo forced and unconfortable to watch🥶
I feel like they coulda done a bit better on Selena’s wig on this one her hair was more puffy and more like a dark brown or black hair color and she had kinda bigger bangs I guess
Y por qué aquí en la serie no dice al inicio de la Bamba oye tú ven pa cua 😜
Viendo el vídeo me dicuenta que realmente no la tuvieron fácil cual quiere cantante de este tiempo viendo el publico serío se uviera desmoralisado y ibiera llorado el publico de ates lo gambas si el artista tenia talento no como a hora cual quiera pude ser artistas aunque cante todo mal
Tan bella selenita
Love it. But why they always give on screen Selena’s hair more volume than the real one . Did on the film too
Before anyone gets defensive.. I realize Selena has always been one of kind and will never be replaced. I just really really do not like the actress they chose… one she over does Selena’s lips while singing like she’s not a vacuum cleaner. And Selena had a baby face growing up and the actress looks so old with the costumes. It’s hard to watch.
Nice crowd lol
Muchos dicen que la actriz no se parece, hay que esperar a ver cómo encarna en ella el personaje ( kristhian es muy buena actriz)... Y también en lo personal lo que importa es conocer más a fondo la vida de Nuestra Reina Selena.
Yo no conozco a esta cantante quien es
Así es ,a mi la verdad no le llega al momento de actuar pero los pocos capítulos que eh visto el punto fuerte de Cris es su rango actoral,pero es que también comparar a la reina Selena que tenía una naturalidad asombrosa con una chica que está dando su mejor esfuerzo me parece injusto.
@@effyAllen exactamente Kris hace lo que puede. Selena era única.
Y aún así hay quienes se atreven a criticar a christian, ella es excelente y fue muy buena opción
This was such a good series how about focus on the story and not the fact that they didn’t clone Selena herself get over it lol even her family loved her as Selena
They should have got someone that has the same eye shape as Selena's.
You are really asking for too much. It’s a movie.
They can’t clone her 🤦♀️
@@smdrat7369 i just said the same eye shape as Selena's. Selena isnt the only person to have that eye shape. 🤦
Lo ame!!
As much as I love Selena I didn’t like the series I just stopped and watch her movie instead it was very similar
can we please stop body shaming and being negative, i think Christian did a great job, you all are just comparing it to the movie, i can appreciate this series as a separate thing, no actress is ever going to look exactally like Selena this is a show but she looks close enough more than jlo ever did, plus im happy they chose a Mexican actress. It seems people care less about the story which is important and more about the fact the actress is thin.
Excelente!! Gracias por el video
