AB Quintanilla Talks 'Selena' Netflix Series, Announces Final Album, His Career, Legacy + More 

Thank you for watching! Make sure to subscribe... We talk about the 'Selena Netflix Series' @ 55:25

1:02:57 “that person” has a name, his name is Chris Perez and he entered the band when he was 19. “That person” is Selena’s treasure, and her only love.

They needa put some respect on Chris and his name.

AB has been married 5 times. Have respect for Chris Perez!!!!!!!!!

Quit putting down Chris Perez. And say his name he was married to your sister. Show some respect for your sister.

How many finished the first season of Selena already.

Man compare this guy to Pete Astudillo. Pete is humble and it seems all AB did here is talk about how good of a producer n song writer he is and how other ppl had 40 yrs to reach his level. He didnt do it alone. Most famous songs that selena sang were Ricky Velas. Im sorry but if it werent for his sisters talents i doubt he would be as known as he is today.

Be respectful of Chris Perez! He was your sisters husband. He's part of her!

AB, this was a very honest interview ! You and your family truly suffered a unimaginable loss. God bless you all. Your continued success is because of your family all being committed to Selena. I saw the Netflix Series. Selena was a beautiful and talented young woman, may she RIP. Live and be happy bc life is short and fragile. Great interview !Thank you Mr. Vega !

There’s no person that is like Selena yet... no one can perform like her.

THAT PERSON? REALLY? Dude that Person was closer to her and is more important to her than you as a brother homie... respectfully my man. YOUR family has to come to grips with the fact that Chris was next kin, was the most important that's she ever had in her life and everything she owned should have went to him. Whether you go by the Bible or law, after God there's husb and wife!

One thing that i noticed in this series and didn't know, was that in reality the one who made Selena rise to fame was AB, i mean he had so much pressure in trying to come up with new music every time and his songs made major hits

He wrote some iconic songs that are always played at Latino parties 😄💕

Thanks, AB for being so candid about what you went through, in losing your sister. I can’t begin to imagine how hard this has been for you and your family .

Honestly after watching the series my heart goes out to AB. He was a kid and his father put immense pressure on him to write that music and when hits happened gave him no recognition and never let him enjoy any of his accomplishments. I can’t even begin to imagine the effect this had on him being so young and impressionable. What he created was remarkable. I hope he gets some therapy because I am sure he is emotionally scared from that. I also felt sad watching the part seeing young kids being hurled from state to state sleeping on the floor of a bus that didn’t even have heat at times. There are child labor laws but not within a family.

This interview was one of the most honest and sincere interviews I’ve ever watched. It was a real pleasure to listen to. Thank you 🙏

This was dope and informative.. Much love to both yall .. 👍💯

Thank you to the both of you, this interview was great! Us fans appreciate it. The Netflix series is wonderful and I cannot wait to see what comes in the future. Chow for now :)

Great interview! I watched the whole thing! Y'all brought the juice!

This interview will go down in history bro. Thank you for this one!

What did Chris ever do to be disowned from her family? If she were alive they would not have done that.

This was very special to hear AB talk about himself, music and the things he has went through with his family 🥺💗 He is so wise and smart, it sounds like the entire family is. What a blessing to have family always support you. I watched the first Selena movie when it came out and almost didn’t watch the new Netflix one but it is so much better. Seeing how the family got started, their struggles and accomplishments as a family is touching. Thanks for sharing this interview 🤗

Great interview.Thank you AB for being so transparent.God bless you and your family.

who first thought Smoothvega was AB Quintanilla lol

This was a wonderful interview! It was great to hear A.B.'s raw honesty. He certainly has accomplished so much musically, which has been no easy feat. This man has been through such tragedy and I think it's important to stop and put yourself in his shoes for a minute to really understand how immense that tragedy was, something I'm sure he is reminded of often. God bless you A.B. @abquintanilla3 and may you find comfort in prayer.

Great interview! Covered much great information. Thanks man!

"That person" wow...sounded so bad. Regardless if you can't mention names out of legal reasons, you didn't even need to plug in "that person" in your conversation, you could have continued without it to get to your point.

I applaud both of you for this insightful, introspective interview; best I've heard yet!!! :)

Thank you for sharing. New You Tuber and Selena Fan. Appreciate your interview!Sending kindness and best endeavors!!!!❤

AB its good to here you are doing better. People forget you are a human being. May God comfort you and your family always.

Respect to this vato AB QUINTANILLA! RIP QUEEN from El Paso Tx 915

I have only been enjoying Chris interviews. He only has good things to say about Ab. Hasn't said one bad thing about her family. I'm not impressed with her family. It's not like Selena and Chris got divorced she was murdered ! You don't think he has been hurting that he still loves her! Shame on them ! They are disrespecting Selena by treating her husband badly!

Had me tearing up at this end of this interview. "All the people that you have to feed, outside of your family". It's true. AB doesn't get the credit that he deserves. He has a big ego that I guess is warranted. He's a talented guy that you don't hear enough about and who hasn't had the accolades he truly deserves. But he’s got to big up the people that have also contributed. Would love to hear him speak more about the role that Joe Oeda, Pete Astudillo and Ricky Vera played in the song writing also.

Ty Ab for being candid and so open i too struggle from bipolar and depression that makes everyday a struggle. I recently lost my mom in may and it has hit my heart so much. I love the series and how it shows how selena and the quintanilla truly started out struggling and worked hard to become what they are today. I know it wasnt easy opening old wounds with this series. Selena will forever be an angel god bless

This is such a good interview. You are good at interviewing. You are a good listener & always let your guests talk without interrupting them. Looking forward to your next interview.

This is such a beautiful interview. I am sad to hear A.B. will be doing his last cd. But he's been working hard for all of these years and it's understandable that he wants to live his life. And Selena is LEGENDARY! There will never be another Selena or another Selena Y Los Dinos!! Legendary!I I want to thank the Quintanilla family for continuing to keep Selena's legacy alive. I give so much credit to Suzette and the family for making it possible to be celebrating her life after all of these years. Thank you all for allowing us fans to be a part of keeping her legacy alive! I am looking forward to hearing A.B.'s album, the Selena remix album and the unseen concerts that he mentioned, so exciting!! I can only imagine how hard it is losing a sister, a family member who is so known across the world. We've all felt that pain of losing a loved one. But for the Quintanilla's I can imagine how difficult it can be dealing with their loss. My heart goes out to them. It makes me sad and upsets me when the family gets attacked and criticized. Cause I am so excited when us fans get new material, merchandise, and footage etc. of Selena. I don't want her to ever go away! Not saying that she would disappear if we didn't have those things but it definitely helps her legacy to continue and grow. I wish people would be more understanding. Much love to the family and we can't wait to see what you have in store for us! God Bless!

Why do they dislike Chris so much ?

I love this interview! As a Selena fan I totally understand where AB is coming from. Thank you AB for all you do👍🏻

Just found this ! Just read the comments and super excited to watch ... Just two more days until her her Netflix series. God bless you all

Many thanks to AB for opening up and sharing about his struggles w mental health. Everyone should feel comfortable and safe when it comes to speaking about their mental health. As well as seeking help if needed. There should be zero stigmas attached. Zero. Sad to hear about the final album. Anxiously waiting to hear a new date for the tribute concert. I know things are still uncertain, but sure want something fun to look forward to.

Selena's vocals where unique and her personality had a lot of charisma but one of her pillar was you undoubtedly. Your talent and dedication to create good songs and music for her. She accomplished a lot, and I'm not saying this to disrespect her, but you guys accomplished a lot and a lot was because of you, her loving brother. You're a legend A.B. i will always be thankful as a fan for the great music you've created and the movement you started. The Kumbia created by those whom been with you at one point is thanks to your creativity, you started it. Respect brother.

Fire ass interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

"That person" you mean her husband who is supposed to be family. 🤦‍♀️

I have seen it all and I loved this version of Selena and im 64!!!

God bless you for speaking up about Mental Health... It's Real & Fearful I remember saying Over and Over and Over to Myself "Time Heal's Pain & Trauma but The Truth of The Reality Time does not heal pain or wounds, one must seek help and ask for help and take action in order to become heal, Time prolongs pain.

Hey thanks for interviewing this is going to help me shut down rumors

Great interview! I totally relate with the struggles of a musician.. it’s a hard life, my respects to the Quintanillas and all musicians🙏🏼❤️

He legend in his life I can say he a boss...good interview good job

Just finished the Netflix series felt i was watching the A. B. Quintanilla story.

AB is a legend, loved the interview 🔥🔥🔥his music will live 4 ever just like Selena real talk..i just started watching the Selena series with my kid's they love Selena n AB were big fans,Selena music will live on my kid's are listen to her and watch also 15,19,20,23 yrs old that Tell's you something

Keep it up....Washington state....new 2 ur channel I like it essa

I can’t believe I’ve watched the whole interview❤️really like how candid A.B was. Really like it. It makes me very sentimental to know how many unfinished projects she had and I wonder how big Selena should’ve been by now. She was just promoting in PuertoRico months before her passing Amor Prohibido and No Me Queda Más. There’s no ONE like Selena...

Such a honest humble down to earth interview so sad for him and his family it's coming up on 26 years that they lost her God bless them 🙏❤️

You’re awesome AB!!!

I really appreciated this interview 💯 Thank you for it. 210 💙

AB your sister is a memorial for family, self and others. As you said your family paid a price. Hearing you today. Battle scars is what I hear when you speak of your mental health. Your price you had to pay. Bests of luck live and live your best as you did. You and your family and many others become memoirals. I do hope others will reach that mark your family has set.

Thank you king! I heard you well!!

OMG I enjoyed hearing you two talk. Wow

Great interview! What AB said is absolutely correct… every Artist that has passed either the family and/or record companies keep their legacy alive. He did not come across arrogant .. he came across confident and sharing what he has learned from his life and experiences. Just like we all do!

AB is amazing the way he talks about music you can see the passion in his voice ! Such a talented family ❤️🙏🏽

Selena was so humble and down to earth. He is the opposite.

Every time you hear ya know what I'm sayin' take a shot😄

What does he mean Chris was only there the last two years of Selena?? Chris joined in what? ‘89??? So why would he say only the last two years.. he was married to her longer than two years.. smh.. what is his deal with Chris?

AB, I get you man, people need to get off your case! As far as I'm concerned, your contribution to Selena's success CANNOT be measured, Period! And I damn sure think that what you have done to inspire bass players has never been addressed. I truly respect and admire your work. Best wishes to you and your family my friend, hope to meet you one day and just say thank you for all you have done and continue to do for bass players like me. Cheers my friend. 🍻🥂👍 M.D.Q.

FULL RESPECT AND CREDIT TO A.B. EVERYTIME I WATCH SELENAS VIDEO PERFIRMANCES A.B WILL ALWAYS HAVE THIS GLANCE TO HIS BELOVED SISTER SELENA FULL OF AWE AND DEEP DOWN HE IS SI SO PROUD OF HER SISTER SELENA. WITHOUT A DOUBT HE MISSES HER LIKE CRAZY. ❤

Love Selena Netflix series! ♥️👏

Happy birthday to a.b. hope you have a safe celebration. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Great Video 🎼 🎵🎤🎹🥁🎸🎷🎺🎧

So let's get some 4K releases , true 4k sound and picture. Done the right way. Selena deserves it

Her and Chris were great together ❤ but the woman who did this to her its sad jealous. I feel so bad for this family. And Chris god bless all of you.

I love the Selena series it’s legit heart and soul that they engraved in believing in each other as a family and dream of making it to the top... ❤️

OMG!!! These 2 Look Alike!!!!!!

🔥🔥

Real talk here.Much respect AB

I just went to the grocery store and I heard Selena the other I went to food City and I heard the kumbia Kings.

If the opposite of humble was interviewed lol

BUT everybody can make money off of their experiences with Selena but her husband? Make that make sense AB?!

Hello A.B you look Awsome 👍👍👍👍👍👍 you are amazing god bless you everything that you do ,

He is definitely not a Selena Selena seems so humble this guy says he needs time off for himself to work on himself or enjoy himself all he talks about is himself I know it's an interview about him but he's cutting the guy off and everything was not impressed it's great that this father showed his kids music but at the same time there is more to life than music I love music don't get me wrong and I love every genre is beautiful but I think the most precious gift you can give your child is where were you spend your eternity I apologize it may have came off a little judgmental but I just feel like he's full of himself and I just remember watching Salinas interviews and she was so humble he's definitely different

He speaks from pure ignorance. You have so much disdain for "that person" who made your sister come alive. Feel loved. Feel protected. Etc. Shame on your ignorance. P.S. There would be NO A.B. without the world being introduced to Selena, regardless of your writing credits.

That person? That person she was in love with! She chose him! She didn't choose the family she was born but here is the thing there was no divorce she was murdered and Frankly He ( Chris Perez) has way more class then you! He only speaks well of you! Grow up!

I hate this fool so much, his sister and his dad. How dare you say "that person" when you know damn well that Chris was the love of your sister's life. That man is supposed to be family and that's how you treat him. Absolutely disgusting. And reading these comments hearing this food don't pay child support like what? He honestly just sounds ignorant just like his dad.

This is the first time i heard you speak and AB speak. And i got applauds both. Everything from Both English to Spanish voice was perfect. And the Conversation was outstanding. I could listening to both of you talk all day and have a piece of mind. Selena will never die, she will live on forever. Because she was to precious to us. In Truth the first time i heard about her was the day she pass away. And tears was in my eyes. The first time i really got to know her and her music was from the movie. Once more it was heart breaking. But i was 25 back then and i never look back from Selena she always still powerful in my heart and her music always get better as day go on. But the question may sound silly no one can replace the original Selena. Yet i see Selena Gomez became as close to the original Selena in many ways. From listening to you both talk. In a respectful ways i believe i am seeing the original Selena through the new Selena. Sound silly. Yet on a high note i love the Selena new Series on Netflix it completely honest to understand just what made Selena so precious and loved. I am glad to see AB and Her family still doing great work and are still strong together in love. Thank you for Selena and a masterpiece interview. Stay bless my friend.

23:56 that just blew my mind

Well said AB.. People will talk..and have no idea what is really going on.

finished season 2!

The songs will work for other great singers, but you're sister was like no one else, kind, beautiful and loaded with talent! AB Quintanilla seems like a good guy, does he still talk to his brother in law/

MENTAL HEALTH FOR THE WIN! Great interview. LONG LIVE SELENA!

Selena was disrespected at the Grammys when she lost to Vicky Carr... she should have won with Amor Prohibido!

They disrespect Chris and that’s not right

A.B MAY GOD PROTECTS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN ALL YOUR DAILY UNDERTAKINGS IN ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS.❤❤❤

You both are so funny and cute! I can't wait until the album goes out. Selena is still alive in so many Peoples Hearts. She has such a beautiful family including her husband Chris. 25 years have passed and it just seems like yesterday. My prayers go to you Chris and your family. Someday we will be together with our Loved ones in Heaven to praise Our Lord Our God Our savior! Thanks for sharing! It sure put a smile on my face... We all love Selena ❤️you all did work so hard but you deserve everything in life! You were so talented!

Modesty not his forte. And stop with "You know what I'm saying"

Why AB Quintanilla is interviewing himself?

Abs twin kokoooo♥️👋💋

Still waiting for the new album and concerts

🤣 "Selena would have never went to Taco Bell"

Why did AB block him??? We will never know 😅

SIEMPRE SELENA LOVE YOU ❤❤❤

I wonder What does AB think about the new generation of mexican american singing "corridos" with an american touch. As a musician
