She worked so hard. Under pressure. Under hatred. Under jealousy. The quintanilla family watching her every move while the movie was being made ... She did such a beautiful job. It's not easy to copy and mimic every detail. Even the smile. Jennifer was taught how and when to smile and do it right. Selena is an angel.
😭💔💔😪
Looks nothing like Selena
I've been listening lots of Selena this week and now seeing this. Love you Selena.
No one could play Selena the way Jennifer Lopez did!
No body will replace Selena Quintanilla not even j lo
Lou Bae dude do you even know what a tribute is? She wasn't trying to replace her but to honor her
@@nickt.8507 that's right.
There can only be one Selena Quintanilla-Perez and just because JLo played her in a movie doesn't mean she's replacing her.
At the end of it, Selena was still the star on that movie.
@@LBM25k Nobody is trying to replace Selena lol. This was to honor her legacy and show people who she was. And JLO did a phenomenal job!

I WISH SELENA WAS STILL ALIVE & J.LO DID AN EXCELLENT JOB PORTRAYING HER, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER SELENA & I'M FANS OF BOTH WOMEN....RIP SELENA, SHE DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE & WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE GREATEST LATINA SINGER THAT EVER LIVED!!!!😭😢😓
i'm big fans of the both of them i have had both females songs on my phone and i play them all the time
That's what a true Selena fan should be.
loving JLo as well.
because if Selena was still around, she wouldn't want her fans to throw shades on JLo.
“Will always remain the greatest latina singer that ever lives” in your opinion. Tejano music is not really big globally compared to pop, etc. but ye, everyone has their opinion on who was great
Not even just the greatest latina singer. The greatest singer. Period
if selena still alive today she would be a biggest star and create new songs
the make up is incredible omg in this segment she looks alot like her
Genaro Paniagua That’s cause Selena’s glam squad replicated Selena’s look on Jennifer.
No she doesn't.Stop.

THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE TITLE “HOW SELENA BROUGHT JLO TO LIGHT”
You're 100%right.
Well Selena didn't brought jlo to light.
J B well she did. She brought her career to light because she got her big break with the Selena movie
J B yes she did
Exactly😭
This story just breaks my heart 💔
I love Jennifer Lopez and Selena
Same here.
You know what, they woulda been best friends if they met in real life.
and I can imagine Selena defending JLo from her bashers/naysayers whatsoever.
She portrayed Selena the best way, i love her❤
Jlo was awesome.....she did Selena justice....But it's sad that Selena got killed because of jealousy.....Hands down....if this never happened ....Selena wouldve been huge!!!!
Selena WAS huge regardless
I have just seen the movie. I thought it is imaginary story about rise and fall of one huge musical talent. Now that I have found that she actually existed and that it is in fact a real story, for me it is still one unreal experience which is even more sad. I can't imagine how family and real fans felt after that tragic event because even though I stumbled upon this on TV, I was shocked how all that talent, work, potential stopped to developed in one very fast moment. May God bless her husband, family, friends and fans and all of the people who fell in love with her as I did. She is in a better place.
That’s what hurts me the most, so I can’t imagine if strangers feel this strongly about her ending what the family feels. Just all that work, all that effort, gone in one single shot to the back. It won’t ever be right.
Amazing job JLo did. She pulled it off. I thought at first how the difference in bone structure of both Jennifer and Selena differed, would take away from Selena's Mexican facial features. But, that did not matter, since Jlo nailed all mannerisms. Spot on.
Selena made her.
Thank you Jennifer Lopez for filming for Selena. You did very well. Not nobody else can play the part like you did. Thank you so much for your talent.
Jennifer Lopez beat out over 20 thousand women to play the part. That is talent
Not really it was rigged for J-Lo to win selenas parents wanted someone else to play selena but some bullshit happen that they were force to pick J-lo and the rest is history
miguel mora my mom got asked to play the part but said no :/
Aww I'm so sorry
You mom would have been famous now. But I'm sure she would have been criticized about her acting and singing abilities
@@rogeliocastillo4935 according to Mr. Quintanilla himself, he has other picks but they are not as great as JLo. Just simple takes.
she got the role and she played Selena to the tee.
She auditioned so how is that rigged?
I don't see why that is rigged.
when i get older i'm going to get all Selena's shirts make up and i'm going to Corpus Christi and i'm going to visit her grave and maybe sing her songs to her or just let them play to her i'm going to visit her families house then her boutique and her and Chris's house R.I.P SELENA QUINTANILLA
Queen Of Tejano Music
Mexican Madonna
Diva
Selenita
Selly
Conchita
La Reina de Tex-Mex
Her father was a musician and was supportive of her career. Selena's brother Abraham was the bass player and her sister Suzette played the drums. Selena won Performer of the Year and Best Female Vocalist of the Year in 1987 at the Tejano Music Awards. Selena's first record sold more than half a million copies.Selena was considered the "Queen of Tejano," a type of Mexican music that incorporated other styles, such as country and western. She was also sometimes referred to as the "Mexican Madonna" for her sexy outfits and dance moves.
What's sad about this Selena Biopic is it became more about Jennifer Lopez. Even the TV Series was about JLo, not Selena. They even hired an actress that's playing JLo as Selena.
You did a good job Jenny from the block.🙏🙏🙏
I truly believe selena would have had a net worth like JLo and shakira or much higher had she not been taken away so soon she would have been so successful
Love U. Love U. Love U. Jl0. U. The best always.
I have been listening to selena FOREVER and i WON'T STOP LISTENING TO HER MUSIC BECAUSE SHEE WILL BE RELIVENT AND ALWAYS WILL BE
Well Selena will always be remembered because of her beautiful personality i believe and she had a kind heart. And i believe that she cared so much about her fans.
If she wouldn't have done the Selena movie she wouldn't be famous
So true.
maria e funny how JLo already filmed Anaconda before Selena and it grossed 100M while Selena only grossed 30M
Disagree. She would have still made it to stardom with or without eventually. She shines one way or another in every direction. Though Selena the movie did catapult her faster on where she is now.
I think she always would have made it as an actor.J Lo's actually a decent actress.Where I think she benefited from playing Selena is musically.Some of Selena's iconic residue imprinted onto J lo in that regard.I think it consciously & subconsciously helped people open up to her musically.
Yes she would've. Jennifer Lopez is also talented in her own unique way. She obviously can't sing nowhere near as good as Selena, but she is also a VERY intelligent business woman and that's why she's been so successful because she's managed to forge an acting, singing, dancing, and fashion career etc. all on her own. Selena had help of her family, but JLO had nobody to help her early on in her career. She's always been a driven and determined individual and even if they had never made a movie about Selena, Jennifer still would've found some other way to make it big. People only like to talk shit about her because of her personal life and that's mainly what comes to their minds when her name is mentioned, people just judge her for that but nobody is perfect. And had Selena lived I think her and Jen would be friends.
Lol selena brought jlo to life not the other way around she even had a better body and way more talented sucks she died so early
Didn't Selena brought her into light 🤔 by playing her her in Selena
exactly 😫
She did a fine job playing her... what a complete tragedy, so so dam sad.
I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ selena way to go j lo
she didn’t bring selena back to live selena was always alive nobody brand her back. she was and still is a legend that everyone held dearly close to their hearts. she always will be and nobody had to bring her back to life selena brought JLO to life. JLO got her whole singing career because of selena
Jennifer Lopez played a great role as salina. Jennifer Lopez did salena justice in the movie that's why it's such a great movie. I would have never known who or what happened to salena if Jennifer Lopez didn't play her. I watch the movie because of Jennifer Lopez and I love them both now
Selena not Salena or what.
That’s your fault for living under a rock. Nobody knew Jlo till this movie
u really misspelled Selena’s name 3 times in two ways 😭💀
It's great how JLO a Puertorican played Selena a Mexican American so well. Hey we are all brown and proud!
Exactly
Jlos not brown. Shes almost 100% of SPANISH blood. It was white washing.
. In fact most southern Europeans are darker just look at Sicilians if you look at them they have darker features almost looking like arabs. The same with other southern European countries. Even some people from welsh are darker.
Stop with the theory that Spanish colonists white washed South America. The Spaniards were already a darker complexion when they colonized and mixed with darker natives. its sad that most people lack history today. Leave history alone and let it be handled by people in over seas, seems like you are from America that lack history and have that white wash theory.
Europe is not all so called white. Almost all latinos have a mix of African, Spanish, Portuguese, and Native American. In Mexico its mainly Spanish and native but puerto rican's like JLO are mostly biracial. She is not white she might have more spanish in her but she also possibly have African and Native American. Africans when they mix with whites the white gene becomes dominant.
Many latinos that are light brown to white will take their DNA and have about ten to twenty % African and about thirty % native and the other fifty% is Spanish, Italian or Portuguese. Now that is just the lighter skin latinos. The darker ones have more native and African but all three races have dark complexion and spanish Europeans are already darker than most Europeans.
@@alexlikesdegrassi
So what if she has a mixture of Spanish and Native Puerto Rican blood? She is a Hispanic Latina who studied Selena from head to toe.
So she was fit for the role. I know it is expected for everyone to give their opinions but if your opinion lacks sense please don't make a fool of yourself.
This comment about "whitewashing" is racist. White Americans are already prejudiced against Hispanic Latinos/Latinas therefore all Latinos/Latinas and other ethnic groups should stand together united regardless of their backgrounds.
@@alexlikesdegrassi she’s trigueña, Spanish, African, and Native American
Jennifer Lopez did such a good job a few times watching the movie i actually thought I was watching the real selena
She did such a good job, I can picture the real Selena throughout the whole movie. It's better re-imagining it with the real Selena.
Queen JLo!!!
Thanks to Selena
@@loulou-fx9fu nope..thanks to Jennifer Lopez!
@@kwstasd3743 nope ok lope
No
Oh my God Jlow was so beautiful here
Wow JLo has always been beautiful.
Jennifer really nailed it, she did absolutely perfect to do selena.
More like how Selena brought Jennyfer Lopez to spotlight
Silena Quintanilla 🥀🥀🥀🥀 ilove you so much in pamily Quintnilla 🥀🥀🥀🥀
I feel like if Selena was alive I think her and Jlo woulda been a magnificent collaboration
Why is this comment underrated?
True Star Honest Real and Humble. Boricua pa que tu lo sepas.
Thanks to Selena Quintanilla JLo Became Famous thank Selena Quintanilla JLo don't forget
She actually was in a movie before she was in the selena movie.and the other movie grossed more that the selena movie.just saying. No hate❤
Abundio Avila Yea May have grossed More but it was Jlos first Million Dollor Role.
Abundio Avila yeah but it wasn’t as highly publicized as the Selena movie was
@@abundioavila8097 no lmao Jlo says it herself this movie was the landmark of her career
Lou Bae @@@@@ It's Selena Perez, why you and some other people keep calling her Quintanilla ???? She was married to Chris Perez !
If only selena and Jennifer would of been friends in real life. That would be amazing.
I'm going to say this because I think it needs to be said. THERE'S NOBODY LIKE JLO. NOBODY!! She didn't just merely get to where she is with the success of Selena ALONE. NO WAY! It's funny when people try to write her off like it's just so easy to be where she is LOL. As someone who's worked in the industry, I know first hand that there are LOTS of pretty latina girls with no talent trying to get to JLO's level by rubbing elbows with the right people, and it's STILL not enough. If that's all it took, THEY WOULD ALL BE AS FAMOUS AS JLO. JLO falls in line with the greats! Not just anybody can be like them. There's a certain "IT" factor, a certain amount of talent, and a certain amount of drive that get you to that kind of status. She is regarded is the MOST successful LATINA entertainer of all time. Something deserves to be said for that! She's broken so many barriers and opened so many doors for latinas coming behind her. And she STILL shows mad love and respect to Selena all these years later! She doesn't deserve to be bashed and written off.
Iconic Jennifer 💜
Yessss My Queen Jeneffer Lopez.
facts: j.lo didn't use her voice in the movie when she sings its selena voice who sings in entire movie
I have a Selena DVD
Lots of people didn't really know who JLo was, after this movie.
J Lo's dancing was everything. Take notes Rami Malek. That's how you perform in a singer's biopic. Lipsynch and stage presence is a must which you lacked.
Who used to do Selena’s nails do you guys know if they still do them?
The family really didn't want her for this part.

How Selena Quintanilla-Pérez brought Jennifer Lopez to Life** 😹
jlo is pretty but wow Selena was on another level
That's right
That could be a reason why she was told to do the role of selena quintanilla
Silena Quintanilla 🥀🥀🥀🥀 ilove you so much in pamily Quintnilla Abraham Quintnilla AB Quintnilla in pamily Quintnilla 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Selena would've loved Jennifer and I know in Heaven she's looking down proudly on what she's accomplished.
How did people get JLO to even look like Selena in the movie? Till someone tells me how I’m not believing that JLO starred in the movie Selena
😍😍😍😍
Jennifer Lopez was 27 not 26.
Thats not jlo thats selena
But she was Selena's friend
Había chicas más parecidas la verdad no entiendo boarabqie hicieron el dichoso casting si hivan a elegir a esta actriz que mal plan
There will be only one Selena and nobody can be Selena and jlo didn't even do a good job on the movie
Her dancing was shit lol
Her dancing was too stiff not even close to the QUEEN SELENA
Yeah , she was so lame as Selena
She did amazing
@jinminkook righttt they’re some grown ass adults who got nothing going on in their lives so they gotta bash someone’s performance from 20 years ago.
