Selena - Disco Medley (Official Live From Astrodome) REACTION 

Her first language is English but she picked up Spanish through singing. She is forever an American Icon

An American Treasure: they broke the mold when Selena was born. Unbelievable talent. Won't come again in any of our lifetimes. RIP Dear Selena.

Her 1st language was English. She actually had to learn spanish. She learned spanish with her own songs. She practiced spanish by singing it. And…. YES! She is still a Celebrity and a LEGEND! ❤

We call Selena "The Queen of Tejano Music"

In my opinion, she is one of the OGs of music back then, such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, she would’ve been on the level of them if she was still here with us.

My favorite is at 7:11 when her earring fell off and she just pulled the other one off and kept the show going like the professional pro that she was.

Selena had everything: talent, natural beauty, charisma. It's still hard, just processing the fact that she was unfairly taken away when she was at the peak of her life. However, she's a legend and a Queen, because (quoting her) "the goal isn't to live forever, but to create something that will". We miss you Sel!

This band was a family affair, her sister played the drums, her brother played the bass, and wrote most of the songs she made famous, her husband played the lead guitar, her dad was the manager of the band. She learned Spanish for her fan, English was her first language. She was an amazing person, humble, kind, talented and beautiful. She died way to soon. 😔😔

I love her she was bringing that black music to the Mexicans breaking that racial barrier

Those were beautiful words you said about her

She opened with songs that she loved growing up. English was her first language being American.

Her death shows u how people in your circle are not always for you... Envy and greedy is a helluva thing.

I love Selena. I grew up watching her, and the movie Selena that starred Jennifer Lopez. Selena broke barriers as the Queen of Tejano..Its a shame she died how she did, and Yolanda took her life over nothing. Selena is incredible.

I believe this concert was her last before her tragic death. . Beautiful, extremely talented Selena is a legend.💗🌹💗

The first thing that i bought with my first pay check, i was 15 years old, was Selena CD. She was not only beautiful and talented but also hard working and a excellent role model.

She was born in the US her Spanish was very limited in her first interview in Mexico. But she was so charismatic she packet the press immediately they loved her. She was trying to bring this music back .

Her native language is English and she learned Spanish by watching Mexican soap operas and hearing radio… then she became fluent in the language because she cared for her audience and her message…she also learned French or Italian because she was aiming for other countries as welll… those moves you saw it was all improvised nothing choreographed.. Selena has become a global icon…

Yes she was sooooo good to do everything ❤ the queen of music and the beauty

She was soooooo special.....I wish I could go back in time and plant myself at the Day's Inn Corpus Christie room 158 March 31, 1995 and put a stop to that little monster before Selena could even show up. What a gift to the world she was and it just makes for a storm of emotions, a pain that doesn't really get better with time. It feels good every year to do a deep dive on her around Easter. We love you girl, rest in heaven and pray for this world!!!

Great reaction, yeah her native first language was English, she learned Spanish by singing Spanish songs and hearing it thru Spanish soap operas and such.. before Netflix Selena,the series, there was a biopic of her starring Jlo. 1997.. all her songs are timeless but here are a few other English songs: btw, she is being recognized even through the u.s. government levels... Texas and Washington DC, Smithsonian museum has her iconic black leather jacket outfit on display. 1) m.j. cover Billie jean, don't stop till you get enough 2) Janet Jackson cover when I think of you 3) only in my dreams 4) my love 5) is it the beat, Spanish version is enamorada de ti ( on You tube live only) 6) missing my baby 7) little Selena (a must see) feelings, hurt, we belong together) 8) everybody, everybody R.I.P Angel 🌹🙏😰

Selena had it all. The talent, the drive, she was all natural. Although she said she would take them Selena never took any singing or dance classes and she designed clothing. Most of her stage clothing was her design, since she was a teen. I feel like many woman today pay to look how she does. Small waist, full lips the long hair. Selena was it.

Selena was born in the US , she actually had to learn spanish in a later stage in her life, she was so talented

I love Selena since I was little 1992 ❤ 😊

She was a queen.

Yes sir she definitely was talented!!! All of her outfits she performed in she made those she had 2 boutiques and was ready to open nationwide especially in Mexico....

Selena loved Donna summer

I cry every time someone speaks of her. I met her when I went to sing in Miami at the age of 14. we all love and miss you Selena I hope I can see her in heaven. and yes its not her songs but that's the opening act then she sings her own but yes you can sing other peoples songs when they grant you rights.

Great reaction video. Selena Forever ❤

She had to learn Spanish when first started. At the time of this performance she was working on her crossover album Dreaming Of You.

I love Selena. She is one of my favorite female singers of all time. Selena was born and raised in Texas. Her first language was English. She learned Spanish to communicate her fan-base. She sad mostly in Spanish; but she did also sing in English. Before she passed she was working on a cross-over album, that was released posthumously. She designed her own outfits. She had a fashion line she sold in her boutiques. Her band "Los Dinos" were comprised most by her family, her sister Suzette and brother Abe. Her father was her manager, her mother sewed the bands costumes. Selena was a singer, sngwriter, dancer, fashion designer, spokesperson, model, actress, and philanthropist. She was murdered on March 31, 1995, in Texas, by her boutique manager, fan club president, and "friend", Yolanda Saldivar. Selena was 23 years old, one month shy of her 24th birthday. She was one of her Last concert before she passed, the following month. To answer your question, singers can sing other artists songs, so long as they pay royalties.

It's a whole concert, let's react to the whole thing

Selena is the best !!!!

Selena ❤️ thank you 🙏🏼

These weren’t her songs she just loved black American music and often did covers of their songs her favorite singers were Janet Jackson , Madonna and Jody watley

This was the Disco Medley performance so none of the songs here were originally by Selena. She was an 80s girl so she grew up with all the ‘70s disco influence and ‘80s pop singer influences like Madonna, Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. Artists can perform covers of other people’s songs without worrying about copyright because they’re not claiming to be the creator/songwriter I’m pretty sure. Btw it’s pretty cool you just decided to look into her and learn about Selena. She really was one of a kind.

He said.." its over"😂🥰

More Selena please 🎉

Beyonce was star struck by her at a mall, she said it herself. Jlo never thought of being a singer till making her movie. Kardashians surgically inspired by her body. Selena was beautiful inside & out. Please watch La Carcacha, watch her move like no other.

You should watch the 97 movie starred by JLo where opens with the Disco Medley Although JLo acts in the movie the singing voice is always Selena, that's why JLo didn't become a singer until two years after the movie

This was at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. She was driven to the stage in a horse drawn carriage by Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo personnel. Her first language was English. Her father had been in a Tejano band that played music in Spanish. For whatever reason, the band did not make it. Her father decided to put together a Tejano band using his children. Selena began singing in Spanish. However, she was not a fluent Spanish speaker in the beginning. After she had made it, she decided to release an album in English. But, those plans ground to a halt due to her murder.

SHE WAS AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL !! EVERYBODY LOVES SELENA !!

She born and raised in Texas English is her first language.

Lady Quintanilla ❤❤❤ I enjoy this one

She is legendary periodt

It's the ending of the intro, then she goes on to sing the rest of her Spanish hit songs..

Two of my favorite songs are "Como la Flor" and "bidi, bidi, bom bom". You should react to those. ♥️🎶🌹🎶♥️

She was so talented, it's a tragedy her life was cut short when she was on the verge of becoming a cross-over star. Watch the movie "Selena" starring Jennifer Lopez. Selena's husband and family stated most of it was spot on.

natural, humble, talented,... what a loss, so sad

💜🌹Selena forever ❤️

More Selena reactions ! lol

I WAS THERE❤❤❤

This was a intro disco mix, I guess you call it a cover song but it's the best concert I've seen Love Selena 💜💜

RIP Selena Quintanilla Perez 🙏🌹

You need to watch the rest of the concert performance she sings in Spanish after that disco medley.

She always knew English her dad made her learn to sing in Spanish bc back when he was in los dios they sang in English and got beer bottles thrown at them. So her dad taught her Spanish and had her singing in Spanish

No, none of those songs were her songs. They were all hits by other people. Her Spanish-language ones (the rest of the concert (just type "Selena Astrodome" into RU-vid) were her songs (as far as I know). I don't know what the copyright laws are regarding performing other people's songs in concerts, though. A loooong time ago, songs used to be recorded by many people, and some versions became hits while other's didn't. Someone once said that music is the universal language. So true, but love is also a universal language. She was fluent in both. That was her magic. She had the power to UNITE all of us, which we need now more than ever in the sad history of this country. Great review, AG! May your station be very successful!

Selena!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥 Thanks for posting!

Reacction Selena Quintanilla la carcacha live from astrodome please ❤😊

She was from Texas and she learned to speak Spanish because she speaks very little Spanish.

She always spoke English. Then learned to speak Spanish because she wanted to sing in Spanish. With her growing popularity, she then made her last album in English before being killed.
