Selena - Im Dreaming Of You

DAMN! This song is the shit, mayne! I hadn't heard it for so long, I forgot how tight this song was. I bumpin the hell outta this song right now.

Great song to play when you're thinkin about your soulmate whos on the other side of town or the globe or just on the otherside.

If Selena was still alive today...man I aint even gotta say it. We already know.

R.I.P. Selena

Maybe because she played her? shrug Selena had an amazing voice, and I think - given time and proper direction - she likely would have made a successful transition to the pop world. Her English language debut album wasn't great, but it showed potential, and it really highlighted her beautiful voice. Thank God Gregory Nava chose to have Jennifer Lopez lip synch her songs. She was amazing in the role, but she could not have duplicated her voice.

I'm glad the movie directors didn't allow J-Ho to fuck up Selena vocals.

Univision Announces 10th Anniversary Tribute Concert to be Held in Houston to Honor Tejano Music Superstar Selena

“SELENA ¡VIVE!” will air live on April 7, 2005



Houston, TX -- (NYSE:UVN) During a press conference today at the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, the Univision Network officially announced its plans for an all-star tribute concert to celebrate the legacy of Selena, the enormously popular Tejano music superstar. A Univision Network exclusive, the tribute concert, “Selena ¡Vive!” (“Selena Lives!”), will air live on April 7, from 8-11pm ET (7-10pm Central), from Reliant Stadium, which neighbors the fabled Houston Astrodome, site of Selena’s last concert in 1995.

On hand for today’s announcement were Houston Mayor Bill White, Selena’s parents, Abraham and Marcela Quintanilla, as well as her sister, Suzette Quintanilla. They were joined by award-winning actor and community leader Edward James Olmos (who portrayed Abraham in the film, Selena), who serves on the board of the Selena Foundation. Tejano music artist Bobby Pulido, and Reliant Park Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Nina Jackson, rounded out the speakers during today’s program, which was hosted by popular Univision personality Myrka Dellanos.

“Selena, !Vive!” will celebrate the talent, music and life of the Tex-Mex Queen, whose life was cut short in Corpus Christi one decade ago. Univision has assembled an impressive roster of internationally-famous recording artists, including: Pepe Aguilar, Pete Astudillo, Banda el Recodo, Los Dinos, Gloria Estefan, Fey, Ana Gabriel, Alejandra Guzman, India, Lucero, Montez de Durango, Jay Perez, Bobby Pulido, A.B. Quintanilla & the Kumbia Kings, Aleks Syntek, Thalía, and Carlos Vives. Even more top name entertainers will join the concert’s talent line-up in the coming weeks.

In honor of Selena’s mass appeal to America’s Hispanic youth, Univision announced it will work with the Selena Foundation to award 10 scholarships to qualified students who pursue higher education at certain universities in Texas.

Its operations include Univision Network, the most-watched Spanish-language broadcast television network in the U.S. reaching 98% of U.S. Hispanic Households; TeleFutura Network, a general-interest Spanish-language broadcast television network, which was launched in 2002 and now reaches 80% of U.S. Hispanic Households; Univision Television Group, which owns and operates 24 Univision Network television stations and 1 non-Univision television station; TeleFutura Television Group, which owns and operates 31 TeleFutura Network television stations; Galavisión, the country’s leading Spanish-language cable network; Univision Radio, the leading Spanish-language radio group which owns and/or operates 68 radio stations in 17 of the top 25 U.S. Hispanic markets and 4 stations in Puerto Rico; Univision Music Group, which includes Univision Records, Fonovisa Records, and a 50% interest in Mexico-based Disa Records labels as well as Fonomusic and America Musical Publishing companies; and Univision Online, the premier Spanish-language Internet destination in the U.S. located at www.univision.com.

omg that was wrong! falloff







And I can't believe this. I cry when i hear Dreamin' Of You, it's so emotional. or when I watch the movie, I cry on that part when she's singing the song and then it stops and she's in the hospital sad I miss her deeply. She was SOO beautiful and SO talented. And they choose a person who looks SHIT like her and has practically the talent my foot would have at singin' to play her part in a movie. it makes me fucking angry, that shit is bogus! disbelief disbelief I can't believe they did that! but it's over and done with. She is FAR better off than all of us. I love you Selena (it's not like she can read this anyway sad ) rest in peace






boosty caca deleva! falloff that was funny.

In all fairness, J.Lo was really good in that flick - the ONLY good performance she ever made. I think she was perfect for that role.

I agree,i cant c anybody else playin Selena after i saw Jen pull it off...and I think she did favor Slenena,I mean even Selena's family couldnt deny that-she lived around her family 4 a while and her parents said it was scary they way she favored her.well,if u look at J.lo now u cant c it but when she was 1st out there with the red lipstick,and black wavy hair she did favor her.

True. It didn't give her her start, but it was the film role that really got her noticed and proved her ability as a dramatic actress. Too bad she's all but fucked that up by now.
