I met her once after a show at a local fast food. She was the most humble person. She is and will always be the Queen of Tejano music.

During this performance Selena sang without any mic packs, no voice enhancements, water breaks all while wearing 4-5 inch heels on a rotating stage. She was hearing herself at a 4-6 second delay, so the fact that’s she’s on cue is amazing. She also designed this purple jumpsuit herself. You should react to her live vocals during the 1993 Féria Monterrey singing “Que Creias”. Her talent and stage presence is unmatched til this day

I miss her so much.

No extravagant outfits/set changes, no choreography, no huge fans blowing her hair wild, and she didn't even drink any water during this performance. 100% pure performing! Also, when I first saw this concert, I thought it was pretty courageous to open the show with an English medley... such a great way to represent her American side, as well as to show that Mexican ppl like disco too! She LOVED Donna Summer & disco music. 😂 She was truly amazing! ❤ Si Una Vez please!!!!!

Arab man, when you paused at 5.37 the guy playing the guitar behind was the husband, Chris Perez

I was thinking the same thing, no autotune, no lypsincing no half naked dancers and still flawless and captivating.

2:50 - Yes, Selena was BIGGER than Whitney, Celine, Mariah, and, Madonna. She had the best of all of them 4. The only thing Selena didn't have was time, but she WOULD HAVE conquered the world.

The best way I could explain her charm to me is this. It's like she was born to be on stage, like she was truly meant to be herself during a performance. Someone who did it because they loved it more than anything else, almost like she'd do it for free if it meant she can be on stage spreading joy through her performance.

Another huge influence for her was Janet Jackson! There's a few clips of her covering Janet's songs when Selena was 16 years old!

Did you have a chance to watch her movie? 💓

🎼 "Ooooh OOOh on the radio... Ooooh OOOh on my radio..." 🎼 😊 This part on her voice just melts my heart away. So sweet.

Exactly, she was genuine when she was on the stage. She was so humble ❤. That cannot be emulated

Selena was bigger than all, she had her own style she didn’t emulate anyone . That’s what made Selena stand out above all female singers, she was very special .

She is and will be our Queen forever!!!!❤❤❤❤

In her smaller concerts she always took fans on stage with her and would dance with them and hug and kiss them she was extremely humble

It’s important to remember that she changed her style completely to accommodate a Spanish audience because her father saw an avenue for success there. selena was an 80s baby, grew up on Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Jody Watley. The closest music she ever made that resembles that style was “Enamorada de Ti” check her live performance of this song, she’s dressed like a Flygirl, new jack style back up dancers and the instrumentation is 80s synth. She was in the middle of recording her crossover English album at the time of her death. Her first major English single was a huge record “I could fall in love” you may have actually heard it before somewhere. Life sucks sometimes, she was shot in her back, upper right shoulder and the bullet passed through her body. understanding is that an inch up or down, the bullet could have passed through and she possibly could have lived with the injury. Instead the bullet severed a major artery and she bled out as she ran for help.

Selena was a 70s baby. She was born in 1971

When she started she with her siblings was called Selena Y Los Dinos. And yes 1 of the guitarists in the band band Chris Perez was her Husband. I wish she could have had kids. But she didn't get a chance.

Man, the 90s were a hell of a time. Especially when they made the movie for her and all those sad emotions that people felt about her tragic end resurfaced. Imagine how much more she could have become when she broke into the English market. She's a prime example of a bright star being snuffed far too early.

Keep in mind, beyond all the other things that have been said, the stage was moving. Continued to move in a circle throughout to accommodate the arena. So difficult for sound, hearing, control of any kind...and she sounds phenomenal.

And she didn't have an earpiece!

I agree with everything. Selena was so Beautiful and Pure. She was HUMBLE and TALENTED. There was even so much more to her than just music. She was a true artist on multiple levels such as a fashion designer who had her own clothing label. However, her brother AB, was also the mastermind of the Technocumbia sound. He was the song writer from the genesis, and has continued to write, produce, and mentor other Artists for many years. I thought he Should be mentioned as the entire family including Susie worked hard to make Selena who she was.

I was at this great con seeing a Latin Barbie dancing💃Long live the queen's legacy 👸

Down to earth, salt of the earth…whatever you want to call her. She was so darn lovable. ❤ RIP Selena

Let me tell you a little about Selena (pronounced Se-lee-na, not Se-la-na, as non english speaking people started calling her) was the total package on stage. But, off stage is where Selena really shined. She was down to earth, funny, friendly, talkative, exciting etc, etc. After her concerts in Laredo, Texas, the next day, along with her band and family would have breakfast at her favorite restaurant "Taco Palenque" and people would mostly leave them alone, but when they would approach, she talked to them like they were old friends, laughing, kidding and just very friendly. We lost an extremely genuine person who was down to earth. By the way, her and her family were Jehovah's Witnesses.

Thanks Arab for playing Selena. She was a wonderful human being 😊.

She would walk up to any fan. She was pure, humble and perfectly human. We miss her so much.

I feel like she was a musical diva in the best type of way. She inspired her band to match her talent and energy. This is one of my favorite live performances. They are all playing perfect.

You are absolutely correct, Arab Man! There was a huge sense of presence, of importance, that she brought to the stage that nobody has ever brought the stage in my lifetime in the US. She was living fireworks, an explosion of joy and love.

She is is very genuine and beautiful great voice one that is amazing

She’s my favorite performer of all time!

Her body was NATURAL no surgery’s!!!!💖

We definitely need more reaction of Selena from you!

SELENA 😢💜 we love u

Arab man, you are just like my other Arab friends.....full of life, love, generosity, humility, peace and grace. Just like our Queen. If I could go back in time and change only one event in history I'd be stting outside room 158 in Corpus on Oct 31, 1995 waiting for Yolanda to return from the hospital because there is no single deed that can help the political reality of man but we are truly missing this angel and it still hurts 28 years later.....

Nobody can go back in time and save her because her husband went on to have two children that would not have been born had she lived. She still lives within our hearts. I try to look at her as being frozen in Time forever at 23 not dead.

She started with Donna Summer as one of her musical idols 💃 🎶 kudos on a great reaction i enjoy your work

Wow! Everytime I see her she only gets better and I see why she is so loved

With respect, she was beautiful ❤💃❤

And she is so pretty to look at! We miss you Selena, what a tremendous loss!

Selena the Queen of Tex-Mex #Selenaforever 💜💜

I really liked your comment that she was a diva but also the girl next door. That was a testment to her family keeping her grounded for sure. I was 14 years old when I saw this concernt live. I was higher in the cheap seats and could barely see her. Even though, it was electric for everybody and we had no idea we would be part of history that night. One thing I don't see mentioned when people see the concernt is there was a whole rodeo that happened just before she came out with barrel racing, bull riding, calf roping, etc. To be fair it's not super important but it was significant because every night after the livestock show and rodeo, there was a headliner artist and it was always a country singer like George Streight, Alan Jackson, Reba, etc, but it was only a few years before that they started to invite a Tejano artist for one night called 'Go Tajano Night', and Selena was the artist they invited that year to represent Tejano music. Just some random trivia. I love to see her music still inspires new people in 2023 and beyond.

Selena was the whole package: beautiful, great voice, awesome stage presence, interacting with the audience ❤

You are correct! She has that aura that mashed you keep an eye on her and she is amazing. BUT when she smiles she envelopes you into her warmth! Very genuine! A true talent and gone WAY 2 soon!!

Thank you for doing another reaction to Selena. In a couple of days it'll be her heavenly birthday. It would be so cool if you could do another reaction of hers to celebrate. There's many more good songs on that video from the Houston astrodome i.e. Techno Cumbia or La Carcacha which by the way she broke the record for most attendance up to that point.

Selena was pure and talented, I love your reactions to her. And it makes me happy that you are enjoying her as a human being! Please review more of her music and enjoy!

She dedigned her own outfit.👌

Selena recorded her cross-over album before passing away, she recorded an English album. Look for DREAMING OF YOU and I COULD FALL IN LOVE… they are great songs too 💜

i just love how you admire her!!!😫and i especially love everything you have mentioned about her. SUCH A QUEEN!💜💜💜

Selena was absolutely effortless and Incredibly Talented 🎧🎼🌟💫🎶🙌🏽. I cried like a baby at the loss of this Amazing Singer. 🙏🏽♥️ * NO MI QUEDAS MAS please.

Selena was and will be the Tex Mex queen. She was beautiful in every single way.

This medley is just so good. I always love who seemlessly each son transition into one another.

Another song that is fun and you can see her moving all around the stage is la carcacha The stage that she was performing it was moving around ✨

This last week was the 29th year since her passing…try her last song of this concert “Como la Flor” It’s one of her signature songs. She was and is iconic. ❤

La hermosa Selena, saludos desde México

Selena Day was on the 16th of April in America. USA.

Look her, she is dancing with the corous guy, like the first friend than found in the party 💃🕺🏻 She should be the best in the 🌎 entire world in that generation!❤

She is larger than life💜 also the sweetest girl that ever walked this earth a true angel ✨✌🏽🇻🇪

2:44--She was larger than life. I saw her on Nov/Dec, 1994. She came to Lakeland Civic Center, in Lakeland, Florida. My older cousins wanted to go see her. Our parents said they could go, only if they took the younger ones. I was among the younger ones at 16 yrs old. I had no idea who was going to play at the baile. I hate going to them, it just wasn't my thing. This time, I was convinced to go, since we all had to go. When we got there, there was already someone playing, who know who. Sometime later, her set started and everyone went crazy, running (towards the front) and jumping on tables. I was scared, I thought someone was fighting. Well no, it was that everyone wanted to go up front to see her! I was mesmerized. Everything she did, was captivating. I remember seeing her hair and how the lights would go right through her hair. I could see that her hair was soft and thin, way different than my mom, sister and Mexicans, we have thick corse black hair. I've seen many shows, many entertainers since, no one has impacted as much as Selena.

From morocco 🇲🇦 i love selena

Beautiful inside and out

Fun fact: her family including her brother, husband are in the band, her suzzette is the drummer but got injured so she couldn’t make this concert, and she says she bests herself up because this was her last concert😢

I've watched a lot of people react to Selena and these 2 that you've done have been my favorite because I feel like you're really grasping her influence and impact she had along with educating yourself along the way. Thank you!! Some other great songs to react to (with subtitles): No Me Queda Más, Que Creías, Amor Prohibido, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom!

Her brother AB came up with the technocumbia style. His post Selena band Kumbia Kings took it to the next level.

My favorite song from Selena is Dreaming of You.

Nobody performs like she did...she was in her element in this performance..shes always wanted to sing American classics...Spanish was her 2nd language..she would've been great now...but is now a legend

That drums solo and her dancing was her signature dance and everybody went crazy when she done that. I agree with you that the music would be so different now if she where still around. Latin music would be so much influenced by her!!! Such a shame that didn't happened

She was the Queen before the lable queen became such a mainstream term that means nothing nowadays. The level of authenticity in her personality and her love of music and sense of family and adoration for her audience was so unique and its just something that, to this day, remains unmatched. She meant so much to so many, still does and always will. Im not a firm believer in heaven but i do believe if its there then it was especially made for her, may she reign and rest in peace🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

That's the best way to kick off a concert! RIP Queen.🙏🏽

Selena ❤

You right Guy, she put that little spicy, and she made her own vertion, LATINA STYLE 💃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Such a great reaction! I would recommend La Carcacha live, but the performance where she's on a TV show wearing a black leather jacket. Really showcases her dancing abilities in that performance.

Selena was the whole package, the voice, stage presence, her own designed outfits, the diva, the queen and yet the humble beautiful soul. Your exactly right, she would still be rocking and commanding the music scene. She is both Selena(english)/Selena (Spanish) Next song I think you should do is -Si una vez- either from this concert or a previous live performance, you love the baha as you call it. Brother, you're in for a treat with this song.

it's easy to fall in love with her. The first time I heard her was when she died. I was driving around with a friend and going through the channels. I stopped on the spanish language channel and heard 'El Chico del Apartamento 512'. i was excited cus I understood the words because i was in uni at the time and was taking a spanish class. They played a bunch of her music I fell in love. so there's a lot of sadness because i found an artist I love but the way i found it was so bittersweet

Say it freely man...she was easy on the eyes ....beautiful woman I believe she designed that outfit too And that is 100% true about what music would be today should she would have had the opportunity to continue

Reminds me to a CD collection back in the 90's called Dance Classics. Still available as a 15 CD box. It contains all the well known disco songs of the 70's and 80's
