Chris Perez is a cool guy. I posted on his Facebook that he should do an interview with a Selena fan, within a few days, it was all set up. He was VERY generous with his time, so it's all up here. He talked about everything from Jennifer Lopez covering Selena, to unreleased Selena track, what his kids think about Selena, to why he doesn't have a Selena tattoo. I even shared some of my personal story (please excuse) DISCLAIMER: I WAS REALLY NERVOUS. My voice wasn't recorded as clear as his because my mic crapped out. Also, I look like a troll because I didn't do very good lighting on me (and also cuz I look a little bit like a troll).

Selena got very lucky meeting a guy like Chris. Even though their life together was cut short, I smile knowing that Selena found happiness with this gentleman.
Selena got lucky?
@@realartist_eric2365 both of them were lucky to Love each other!!
@@realartist_eric2365 lucky in love, yes
Exactly
@@realartist_eric2365 Yes. VERY lucky!
Gosh, Chris is such a humble guy. No wonder Selena fell madly in love with him! What a sweetie.
I agree....But it's crazy how Selena's father was against them being a couple that they had to sneak around....Chris seems like such a cool laid back dude so it only makes sense that Selena felt love with this guy.
Magicprincess9000 Having a father whose protective, he’s gonna be skeptical of any boy. And at the time, Selena was only 20 and just getting her career started so Abraham didn’t want Selena to get distracted
That’s why you ladies have to stay feminine and and know something good when it’s in front of you instead of being ratchets.
@@MultiStar84 shut up bitch
@@alyious Can't handle the truth?
I love how around the 23 minute mark where the interviewer states that she is the biggest Latin star of all time and Chris's face just lights up. He is still so proud of her!
I LIKE Chris Perez i think hes very nice,honest and humble,Selena pick the right man to be her husband!!
Oh me too he is really freaking cute
Fo real
Selena didn't like tattoos so Chris never got any of her. He's so sweet.
Love this! Man they would have made some gorgeous babies!!
Makes so much sense since they are both really good looking people. Selena was like a GODDESS and Chris is very handsome even now...he hasn't aged at all.
Selena beutiful
He did have children but by another women he remarried after Selena then he divorce.
I wish they would release recording sessions, with talking and laughing and everything. That would be absolutely amazing!
yes totally agree
@@maganperez7480 yes.I.agree.too.Chris.was.always.good.to.Selena....they.never.fought.like.couples.do....Selena.did.correct.Chris.about.being.rowdy.with.his.friends.at.the.hotel.room.getting.thrashed
Chris is so handsome!
Their kids would have been beautiful angels ☺️
Chris seems like a really good guy. I always felt for him losing Selena the way he did. Having her funeral on their anniversary and not having any kids together. After all these years it's good to know he was finally able to live again have a family and be at peace.
Well, he's in a better place now than he was before. His music is going great. He got a Grammy. He got a 'Walk of Fame' award. U go Chris. One day hopefully he will be able to watch the movie from start to finish.💝
Her funeral was held on their anniversary?! Jesus Christ, that must have been torture for Chris!
Patrick Small me to
It wasn’t on their anniversary guys I think it was like a week before their 3rd anniversary I’m not sure all I know is that her funeral was definitely not on their anniversary
That’s why you ladies have to stay feminine and and know something good when it’s in front of you instead of being ratchets.
I like how he reaches out to fans just like Selena did, I grew up on her music and i would give anything to see her just for a moment
He seems like a really nice guy. I can see why Selena fell for him. I'm glad to see he's doing well after all these years.
I really LOVE this Interview. This made me have even more love and Respect for Chris. I'm a haitian woman and I will be honest I never knew of Selena until after her death. Once I heard about her awful death I went and searched for her music and at the time I got a cassette tape I would play it over and over again. I played it so much. I would go to sleep with it playing when I woke up and realized it stopped I would flip it to the other side and play it. There was time ZI Would listen to it all day. My FAVORITE was I Could Fall in Love. I even bought the movie when it came out on tape of course. I need to upgrade and buy the movie on Dvd now. I cried and cried when I saw the movie. I always wonder about Chris and hope he was able to move on. I've never lost a person that I loved so deeply well my father died but that's a different kind of love. I didn't even know Selena and I would cried for hours at a time. Chris May God Always bless you and may your cup NEVER RUN EMPTY. Thanks for doing this interview I appreciate it. For the young gentleman thank you too. For the both of your may everything you touch turns to Gold. Chris you will get to reunite with her One day. Please everybody DON'T hate me I never knew of her until after her death but I still love her the same. She was such a beautiful woman with so much class. I watched so many youtube videos on her. Great interview guys. Have a Great Night and be BLESSED
I got to see selena in a concert and what Chris said on the interview is true so much better and she showed so much love for fans the one thing about selena was she never forgot where she came from she had her feet in the ground she never let fame get to her head like some artists today🌹
this was in Fort Worth .Tx
SLaaayyy GIRLSlayy
Selena said it best herself: “money comes and goes, but love is forever”
Chris is such a sweetheart . He’s so humble and cool. I hope to meet a guy like Chris. What an incredible human being. 😍
They are still so down to earth, trusting, and loving.
Chris is so down to earth!
What an amazing interview....what a beautiful humble man...many blessings to you and your children.....
I'm kind of impressed how open and friendly the family has been despite having to answer questions and do similar interviews constantly since her death. And I'm not bagging on this interview, but they are on so many documentaries. It's great because I always find out something new.
Chris seems like such a genuinely good person. He just " exudes" goodness, I can feel it. I am so glad that Selena who also put out into the world a positive energy, met Chris and married him. They were a loving couple. It makes me happy to know that even though he has suffered such tragedy, he has been doing well. God bless Chris and his entire family. Much love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
omg selena probably would have the biggest smile listening to chris being silly the first parts of the interview
Really glad to see Chris ! Its great remembering Selena ♥ BUT its great to hear from him as a person, man, musician and to hear his point of view. BRAVO !
go chris perez, you have my support. your love for selena is so real even after all these years you keep her memory alive.
Aww this is awesome he just wanted to chill and talk to someone. Chris is so cute and sweet. Selena and Chris were perfect together.
Great interview, it's comforting to know that Chris STILL LOVES and admires Selena so much and that he's doin well cause just like Selena is timeless, her loss is also timeless and always seems fresh in our hearts and minds. God bless Selena Chris and the Quintanilla family ❤️
Wow what a nice guy. Such a shame that Selena is not here anymore. Makes you think how things could of been. RIP to the beautiful angel Selena
Great interview. Wanted to share a story. I got to the part about fans not really seeing Selena's mother. I moved to Corpus in 1999. I was a big Selena fan and had done the tour, driving by the house, visit the studios, etc. One day my husband and I randomly pulled over to look at puppies for sale in the mall parking lot. A van pulls by and yells out the window a question about the dogs. I'm not paying attention to these people. They pull up and gather around, everyone holding puppies. Then a man speaks. I bet my mouth dropped huge though I tried not to show it. I knew that voice. Abraham! I looked up trying to be casual and my husband and said something funny about the dogs (winnie dogs) being long like the cartoons taking a while to turn a corner and the woman laughed. It was Selena's mother! I'm sure it was grandchildren they were with but imagine my shock. I tried so hard to not show the surprise on my face but wow! How fun for a fan. :)
Woah thats so cool and I seen an interview where its Abraham and Marcella at thier home and they were holding a small dog lol
Wow. This was great. I came across this so randomly, and so glad I did. I have never seen him speak so much. I was 11 years old when Selena was murdered, and I'm 30 now. I still am a huge fan. I obviously remember her through her music, and have always wondered how does her family/husband remember her? It's beautiful to see he still loves her as if she were here.
yea I remember when she died. Really sad. I had a big crush on her as a kid lol.. I think anyone growing up in the early 90s can relate to wat a blow it was when it happened. Still get kinda bummed sometimes.
Gloria Sophia I was born 5 years later after she passed and I'm a big fan of her now
andy s I feel lucky I was alive and old enough to remember her and be a fan before she was murdered. Damn I’m getting old realizing how young these new fans are 😳
I wasn't born in the time of Selena. I was born in 1997. And my Mother who passed away when I was 5, we would binge watch Selena on a constant basis. Tonight was the first night since 2003 when my mom passed away that I had watched Selena. And it brings back happy memories. And sad ones. She was beautiful, gifted and an amazing individual. And I still love her. And i feel closer to my mom from wathing it.
This was our favorite movie. ♡♡
I was born a few weeks before selena was murdered its amazing how she can still make me cry or try to dance cumbia in a room alone like im crazy..she can still strike that kind of emotion and im sure she is satisfied with that
Chris es un hombre demasiado fuerte porque enfrentar esa situacion era demasiado para el en esa edad perde el amor de su vida . tan hermosa parejas los dos veo sus videos y me da tanta nostalgia porque sufrieron tanro para defender su amor . Hermoso libro cada capitulo esta tan bien elaborado que se nota que era un amor belllo . Dios te siga bendiciendo y dandote fortaleza porque es demasiado llevar esa carga pero Dios te seguira iluminando y se que selina tambien desde las altura mi nino.
Chris Perez YOUR THE MAN!! I love how you are so open with yours & your late wifes fans. Stay strong, until we meet our loved ones on that glorious morning. God bless bro
U can tell he's still has strong feelings for her he felt like breaking down in the beginning of the interview man...sorry cris ur a good guy
She was and always will be a big part of our hearts.
The best interview ever! This is the most relaxed I've ever seen him in an interview & fantastic questions!
chris, selena loved you so much. you were everything to her. life without you was meaningless. Selena was lucky to have you. You are lucky to have had her too.
Chris is so humble and kind! A very good person
What an awesome humbled man, thank you chris for letting us fan a little glimpse into your life, we ♡ you!
Few days away from Selena's 20th anniversary and I'm glad I found this video. I laughed, smiled, & cried watching. Xo
Wow! What a humble guy. My respect to Chris Perez
Wow, Chris is so down to earth. That was very gracious of him to do this interview. I truly wish all the best for him and his family. And us the fans will forever keep her legacy alive.
I love seeing this intreview... It has me in tears.. Chris is so strong. And how he talks about his wife.. His eyes light up and his love for her is priceless.❤💙💚💛💜
selena was madly in love with chris. Chris is a good man and husband to selena
nier21 That’s why you ladies have to stay feminine and and know something good when it’s in front of you instead of being ratchets.
Christian Benett what you said was actually irrelevant 💀
@@chasxreacts155 Either you're a rachet or dating one.
@@MultiStar84 I agree with you man. Selena was always the loyal, romantic, and amazing type of female. Chris scored the lottery with her. If only all the females were like here, like don't get me wrong I know some are like Selena but some are hoes. I can say the same thing to Chris if only all the guys were like him. Like Tupac once said, "you can't turn a hoe into a housewife."
@@alexandermercer4473 glad you agree, this is very important for women to see.
I'm glad to see the interview I'm so happy that your moving on I still see the pain in your eyes may god bless you and have very good things for you in life
Cynthia Rosales
Wow! What a wonderful down to earth person. He could not have been more open and sweet.
Chris perez is so handsome. He so lucky he got to meet selena :(
I know right he was very lucky to meet her! :(
You did a great job in this interview, I was impressed, And Chris seems the same today as he did back when Selena was alive very down to earth and very genuine. This is awesome thank you it just made my birthday that much better.
I like Chris Perez I think he's very nice and humble and he's been through olot..God bless you Chris never change!
That was really cool of him, sacrificing 40 minutes out of his life for a selena fan. You're a great guy and I wish you the best!!! Selena would be so proud of you!!!
That was a great video. You asked the perfect questions. And Chris seems like a really cool person.

Chris has moved on in some respect but he can't even watch the Selena movie from start to finish. I feel for him. I really do... I battle my own demons myself. U never get over it. It haunts u from day one. R.I.P. angel💝💝
Thank you for attempting to make this video and thank you Chris for your patience and kindness. You truly are amazing as a musician and a genuine person. I'm also very pleased to see that so far, all of the comments I have read are positive. It's great when many people from all around the globe are able to agree on something positive and share in the joy this video has brought. ❤
Chris I can't wait for the day when u can honestly say, "I have watched the Selena movie from start to finish". Then I can say u have finally moved on. R.I.P. angel💝💝
Thanks for a wonderful interview.
This was a great interview! I'm truly amazed with Chris' answers. He is very intentional of what he says. He thinks before he speaks. He's not prideful. He doesn't speak negatively about anyone or anything. I can see how Selena fell in love with him, not because of his looks but he's genuine and very easy going. He respectful and honorable. A true gentlemen.. He loved her so much. And loves his children! I'm a fan of hers and his.
I wonder why Selena's dad didn't like Chris at first. He's such a nice guy. Her dad would rip his hair out to meet the statistical majority of the dogs called men these days. People say Selena was lucky to meet Chris and to have love with him, but, he was just as blessed. I don't believe in luck. I look at pictures of them, and Chris is always on cloud nine. It's like he won the lottery. Selena was a good woman. Chris said in an interview once that she was always reprimanding security guards, saying to let her fans be near her. The fact that she was so seemingly exposed and sought at would make you think it's what lead to her death, but, it wasn't so much the case. She was tricked by someone she loved and trusted. She was 23. She was a woman, but in so many ways, just a child. Poor girl.
+Snake Forest. I know right.
I think her father was against her being in a relationship at the highlight of her career. She was literally, their income. He probably didn't want her to be distracted, settling down, or even having a bad public light on her, which he explained in the book that she was pressured to hide her marriage.
Or, just like with almost any dad, the thought of daughters being with a guy is just frightening, because you want to protect them. But, seeming as what has currently happened between him and Chris, I don't think Abraham ever liked him at all.
Snake Forest because they were too yound to get married
*rosie forest* he didn't even want them dating, period. And he thought Chris was a bad influence. He got arrested for DUI, got into a physical altercation with cops while defending a friend in another incident, and trashed the hotel room with two road crew members while drunk. Chris was an introvert but often made poor decisions. You could say Selena set him straight, because he didn't seem to get in trouble afterward.
The father sued Chris for trying get a movie made of Selena from the book Chris wrote. Sad
To me it looks like Chris was getting emotional at the end when you told him how she impacted your life. I did!
I'm from South Africa and I'm turning 21 this year. I'm at work and I'm watching her videos. I absolutely love her and the family. Thank you for this video. I hope that Chris and the family will post personal videos of her at home for us to even watch on tv and I'm waiting for the book to arrive in South Africa. Much love to Selena's family and fans.
I have such admiration for this guy. I'm glad he still takes time to do things like this.
I wasn't alive when she was and she is all I listen to
Girl G4MER same here 😭😢😭😤😣😚😙😗😍😘
she was a force of nature!
He is such a sweetheart. So sad they didn’t have an opportunity to grow old together. I’m glad he at least was able to have his babies. ❤️❤️❤️
my respects to chris i love selenas songs i cry everytime i see it she always will be remembered for ever in our hearts
3/31/16-I watched this in it's entirety. Beautiful interview, great questions. Chris's personality is amazing, he seems so humble to have accomplished all that he has.
I LOVE UR BOOK CHRIS!!!!
I read it in one day it was so good....
Well done Brava to you both. Chris you and your family are beautiful and amazing. Thank you for sharing and for living and continuing to be so gracious to let us in. I'm a Caribbean born woman living outside Toronto but grew up there as well. I was young but remember hearing 'If I could fall in Love' and 'Dreaming' for the first time. I sang along with it as a young teen and loved her voice. That was my intro to Selena as much of the world also got to know her. I'm glad I did. I got to know and understand more through the movie. I remembered her passing and the shock of it. I prayed then for the family and haven't forgotten them. I watch just a few hours ago the Selena live in Houston and Chris you're right.... watching her live in person I'm sure was a wholllleee other experience. I could only imagine. Just watching her spirit and energy alone in the live video WOWWWW was just a taste, but amazing and touched me as well. My spanish isn't good at all but I love her songs and try to sing along with them. I'm guessing she managed to stay in such great stature because she love and energy on stage was her work out wowwwww. So I'm sure eating pizzas probably wouldn't have ever shown lol. How this woman danced and danced in those heels and got on and off stage with such ease and energy wow. I couldn't keep up and all I was doing was watching the video. AMAZING. I cry everything I watch the movie and I've seen it alllllotttttt of times. Selena die hard fans...you are amazing continue to keep her positive light and energy alive. Keep the family in your prayers. Pain like that never goes away. It eases but it's a day by day. Chris you are remarkable. Brava I'm sure she's proudly cheering you on. N
you are such a beautiful person such a good human being and chris was so humble
I’ve read a lot of comments in a lot of videos about him and realized: Everybody loves Chris! He’s such a sweetheart. ♥️
It's so nice and generous of him to do this interview!
A very humble and down-to-earth guy 💖
This was SO eye opening! My heart still breaks for the incredible loss of Selena. How difficult life must be for Chris even still. I sang as a teen in my room to Selena's songs. She made me dream big and I feel love in her songs. Chris Perez I'd love to do an interview with you now...look me up.
As I listened to her sing I realized I missed out on her and I'm 9 yrs older than her and I can honestly say I truly miss her and would of loved to of met her and shared my appreciation of her music thank you Chris for keeping her in our hearts and thoughts
This was by far one of the best candid interviews with Chris Perez that I have ever seen. Thank you!!!!
I have only really known about Selena for a little over a week, because we watched the movie ib my spanish class and in this week i have completly become a fan of Selena and she died 2 years before i was born. In the week that i have been a fan i have a connection with her through her music even though i dont understand most of it and i wish she were still alive so i could have the honor of seeing her live and be even mire amazing than she was the day she passed. RIP Selena
I've heard Chris and the Q's are just the nicest people in the world. The Selena stories of what she would do for her fans are of legend.
Its great to remember her and Chris is a regular guy. Great interview
when she died I wasn't even in USA. but when I listen to her I still get goose bumps wow that was amazing. Chris cool down to earth beautiful person. tk u for sharing
Lucky guy she hold his heart and he hold hers...amazing story..I wish he can do his own movie of them how the love started .. now that would be a GOLD
Chris is a very humble man. I wish more musicians were like him. To be able to Skype with your idol is mindblowing, but really, really cool. Mad respect.
Wow Chris!!! That was really nice of you to take time out for a fan of Selena. Very nice interview :) May God bless you :)
I love Chris he is such a humble person and you can tell how much he loved Selena. I know that not many people supported their early relationship, but even till this day you can tell just by the way he speaks about Selena that he truly loved and still does love her. I'm so happy that she got a chance to experience true love before she was taken from us. RIP Selena, forever a loyal loving fan.
Finally got the chance to read the book UH-MA-ZING!!!
Real dude!! Much blessing to Chris
WOW! Such a GREAT interview. Chris is awesome for doing this for us "the Fans" What a beautiful interview it was so raw and so real. Chris is such a down to earth person. It's no wonder Selena fell in love with him. Thank you!
He’s really cool! I like watching him talk about Selena.
Great interview. So much better than listening to some random journalist fire off the same old tired questions.
“Tired “
questions 😂😂😂good one!
Great interview. I wish I could stay and listen to Selena all day long and especially Chris. I heard that Chris had to give up Selena estate and Chris I surely hope that's not true at least not all of it. She loves you so much and I know I should say loved but I can't. And I'm sorry but J Lo is nothing like Selena but I watched it as a movie. I grew up in a family band as well and was the singer all my life and I even drove the bus most of the time. My drummer was the drummer that played with the people who sang "give me a ticket for an aeroplane" and it's been so long I can't remember his name except to say Dave, hi Dave if you're there. He would show us movies of thousands of people it was so cool. He was so proud. I had to do choreography in New York heat, I digress. But I know what you've been through. I've been through it too. And I have my experiences today. I want a studio so bad and all the men always had a studio and I never could afford one not even a small Tascam. I still have my microphone and my half tambourine and I sang cover songs never originals. But I sing jazz, blues and sang Joan Jett songs and I packed the floor singing "I hate myself for loving you. "That was a fun song to sing! Then I sequenced Gloria Estefan, "rhythm is gonna get you"and packed the floor, but I love sequencing horns and percussion. I love percussion and wanted to be Sheila E. Since I was 5 yrs old, singing professionally. love the memories you bring!
I just watched the entire interview!! thank you for posting this and to Chris Perez...man...he's a one of a kind dude. Genuine heart. Easy to talk to kinda guy. Great video! Thanks a million for asking him all the right questions.
Thank you Pedro for giving us fans a "raw" interview on Chris Perez!!
Your questions were very professional, we probably learned more about him in this interview than any other ones by the professional ones. Thank you!!
Love the interview chris is so nice and he still got his good looks and love the curly hair and he looks fine for the interview keep up the good work chris
That was the best interview ive seen thanks sooo much for sharing :3 chris's book made me feel closer to selena
this was a great interview! i enjoyed it alot. i was only 7 months old when selena died and i am a huge fan of her. my mother brought me up on her music because she loved her music!
Te felicito por esta linda entrevista!! Definitivamente nos mostró un poco más de su persona..Chris siempre tendrá el cariño de todos los fans de selena..te recomiendo que le pongas subtitulos para los que no entienden el inglés..
Si x favor la verdad me gustaria
a que todas las entrevistas de el tengan dubtitulos si no como saber lo que habla de selina y de lo que el esta hacieno..
😂😂😂
I love this inverview, no doubt it's the best one Ive ever seen! Maybe you, all the fans out there, agreed this is the REAL Chris... not the famous musician that is onstage and plays to us! This is the friendly human, beloved dad, amazing friend... THANKS for that! We can really feel that we are in front of him talking like if we were family or friends for looong time.
Huge thumbs up! Really cool and down to earth guy. Glad I watched this. This is one of my favorite interviews now with Chris Perez. Great job.
I love Chris! He's so cool and down to earth!! And he looks very cute!
Thank you for uploading this. :)
I love it because it's not awkward, it's really natural and Chris looks comfortable and doesn't seem like an interview, just like a conversation you know. My earliest memories of Selena were when I was like 3 maybe 4, and I remember crying when I watched the movie. I wasn't even born though when she passed, I was born a year after and it blows my mind too how the joy she brought to the world is still given through her spirit and music. :)
It was awesome to see her live thank God I did here in Houston miss u selena
Thank you so much for this interview with Chris; I was wondering what was going on with him today. I really enjoyed it. God bless you in Jesus name always!!
I was born literally 9 months after her death, so I wasn't alive to experience her live. I feel honored to be named after someone that was beautiful, talented and just amazing. She is my favorite singer, I used to dance to her songs and to the movie. I admire her family and Chris for all they have gone through.
Chris you are such a nice kool guy,what you just did with selenas fan is wonderful ,you are a very humble person and you deserve the best of happinness and suscess..God bless you always!
Catrina Trinidad Trinidad ppp
I didn’t know who Selena was when I heard on the radio about her death. I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Sill Ok at the time. In 98 I was stationed in Korea when my husband and I found the movie Selena. I still have it. My husband is Hispanic and we are both retired in Corpus. Selena has become a nice part of my life now and I didn’t get to see her or meet her. Every time the name of the person who killed her comes up on shows like Murder made me famous on Reels for example, I get angry because she took a beautiful person away from us. My husband and I were at the walk of fame in Corpus when Cris Perez got his star. What I saw of him, I thought he was down to earth kind of guy. I hope to meet him someday and I always see Selena’s memorial on Ocean Dr. on my way somewhere and on my way home. She will never be forgotten. Just thought you’d to know. Enjoyed the interview:)
That personal story you shared at the end was very touching. Its amazing that Selena, not knowing played such an important role in your life
That's awesome!!! I love that he did the interview for you!!! He seems so down to earth!!!!
Someone should do a RUclips live stream interview with chris perez and maybe some of selena's family members and everyone who's watches gets to ask questions and chris can answer them, wish someone can do that.
Wow! What an awesome interview. I appreciate that you reached out to Chris Perez and took your time to put this together. And Chris Perez - what a great and Down-To-Earth guy. My 3rd baby passed away after birth 8 years ago on March 31st. So I deeply feel the grief he went through. Blessings to both of ya’ll!
