Everybody knows Selena was amazing but JLo wasn’t trying to replace her she was trying to show everybody who she is and i think she portrayed her part beautifully as Selena
this wasn't 20 years after Selena's death.. it was only 2 years after hear death.. people haven't even stopped mourning feeling like it happened only yesterday, it was totally distasteful, she didn't do it to honor Selena she did it literally to launch her career and take Selena's spot in the industry as the next pop latin artist..
Vicky Lease Option yes she did get paid for the movie and everything she did but Jennifer was the one who studied more about Selena like all her moves because she wanted everything to be perfect for the fans and Selena’s family and she did perfectly!.
I swear no offense to christian but it’s hard to watch the series she looks nothing like Selena atleast jlo had the smile and resemblance christian forces her smiles
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.
Mexicans and Tejanos criticized her and protest because she's rican and they wanted a mexican ascendant instead, only to realize nobody could do it better than her.
Esto si es ser profesional y estudiar todos los movimientos a profundidad de Selena, Jlo hizo un gran trabajo a comparación de lo que presentaron en Netflix le quedó grande a la chica el papel.
It’s absolutely breath taking how during the dance break at 2:15 JLo got Selena down perfect even to her facial expression. She had her mouth open then started to smile exactly as Selena did. She did an excellent re-enactment but that part she nailed perfectly. Makes me shed a tear. She really helped immortalize selenas legacy and was the perfect way to close out the last chapter of her life.
Wow, Jlo really did study Selena to a T and even did the exact same body movements and facial looks that Selena did during each performance like she wanted to recreate every little detail she did. Props for jlo!
Para a quellos que comparan a selena y a Jennifer.. Recuerden que es una película que ella solo estaba asiendo su trabajo ... Jamás se isó con la intención de reemplazar a nadie .. ambas son distintas pues hablamos de dos personas muy diferentes . E estilos, cuerpos etc es una película ...y que feo que no entiendan esto y critiquen a Jennifer López.
Thanks for sharing. JLo did an excellent job portraying Selena in the film. It's important to recognize that she had to incorporate all of Selena's iconic mannerisms into these recreated moments while also adhering to legal constraints such as copyrights. Unfortunately, exact reenactments of performances, including the Grammy acceptance speech, were not possible due to these legal reasons. JLo's performance is guided by the script and direction of a Hollywood film production, where she embodies the character "Selena" within the context of the movie version of Selena's life.
This is what ACTING is. Sis literally studied every single movement. If you aren’t gonna put in the work to do that then don’t even bother auditioning for the part
The only differences here is that jlo did her homework on selena while the other actress? Idk but she really didn't captured my attention more than jlo in the movie but other than that at least she tries her best
Yes I mean the series was more detailed than the movie which I liked and christian was ok but jlo was better tbh but the series was still good I just never accepted her as selena😭
“JENNIFER LOPEZ” la mejor por su profesionalismo al interpretar con lujo de detalle a Selena, es estremecedor pareciera que la volvemos a ver. Gracias Jlo por este regalo 💝
Jennifer did SUCH a great job performing to Selena's vocals, that as a kid I used to actually think SHE was the one singing lol but idk if that was just me
I thought the same thing, that's when JLO came out two years after this movie with her first hit " if you had my love." I was like shocked. I love Selena voice she could sing anything.
There's no comparison between Jennifer Lopez and Selena although she was amazing portraying the real Selena the real girl was the best. Selena was a unique person who will never be matched by anything or nobody. I was only in high school when I found out about Selena and immediately fell in love with her amd that was back in 1996.
@@jj927 - Agreed! I think Jennifer Lopez did an amazing job portraying Selena. I was only 6 years old when Selena was killed, so I didnt really know who she was then.
Wow! Jennifer Lopez really honored Selena in how well she interpreted her performance onscreen. The best I’ve ever seen. Beyond impressive. This must have been hard for the family to watch.
They tried and some of it fell off, which is why she’s wearing extensions in most of the movie after removing it. It’s not just the dye, whoever was straightening her dyed her burnt it. It’s in the docu series from a few years back. They also tried a wig but it looked too fake
Selena's parents have said that at times watching this film was like seeing a ghost and I can see what they mean. Jlo's features are a little sharper - she doesn't have Selena's nose or chin - and Selena was the better dancer. But it's *CLOSE,* my guy. Jesus. A lot better than what Netflix is trying to currently pawn off on us. It's almost like the more time that passes, the more people forget what she was really like.
I always loved Selena. I’m not a big JLo fan sorry thou, Selena was a natural dancer. But no JLo is definitely the more rhythmic dancer. She was bouncing her head. lol not a Selena move but when you feel the music that’s the music in you. They have different styles indeed. Both wonderful but JLo is a better dancer. Selena had the pipes, JLo the dancer.
I think Jennifer got really close body' wise. Of course with her being Puerto Rican there will be a little difference in phenotype. But her makeup was much what Selena wore.They probably used the same makeup artist for the movie. I did pretty well dancing I think. Nobody can do it exactly like Selena did, but she got 85percent of it right. I saw bits and pieces of the show and though the actress has a bit more of a look of Selena, the acting wasn't as good to me.
Agreed. Nobody will ever do Selena justice in a movie or show like JLO did, It's like Selena chose Jennifer herself. Suzette has mentioned how Jennifer would do the same things Selena did and it freaked her out. They have a similar aura. Selena was a natural from the beginning, She was a great singer and a great dancer without any training. JLO was trained and is a very technical dancer..She's great, but Selena was amazing.
Could you imagine attending the real concert and having THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE and then years later going to the movie theaters to relive it! I'd be balling my eyes out😭
Jlo did her best but honestly no one comes close to Selena. She was confident, poised and charismatic. Until today I goes like its such a waste that she died so young. She could have offered more to the world. Wonder why such people have to die and yet useless and evil people are still living.
Jlo did a great job and we should be thankful for having such an amazing performance and have one more thing to help us to remember our diva. I'm glad they used Selena's voice for the movie, at that time Jlo voice wasn't ready to sing like that. There's a show from an awards ceremony when she sings her songs after 20 years but now whith her real voice (better trained and mature) and she did it so nice and respecfully. I know Jlo doesn't have her voice and both are completely unique so we need to stop comparing these artist.
Increible, por momentos me las confundo.. eran muy parecidas, sobre todo de cuerpo identicas.. jlo increible sus gestos y maquillaje era identica a selena!💖
Selena tenía una cintura más pequeña se dice que Jlo tuvo que usar relleno para poder alcanzar el tamaño de los glúteos de Selena..y después decidió operarselas para poder parecer lo más parecida al cuerpo de Selena..por eso en Hollywood se hizo famosa por sus glúteos pero Selena ya había empezado la moda de los glúteos grandes mucho antes..
@@janesbriggs4406 todo mentira, jlo siempre tuvo las mismas curvas.. ella y selena tenian la misma altura y medidas, ademas dd ser nativoamericanas las dos¡💘
@@Jacintowalsh no lo digo yo, lo dicen los diseñadores que trabajaban con Selena y le ayudan hacer sus vestidos y a vestirla en ocasiones..Jlo no alcanzaba las medidas de Selena y tuvo que acudir a operaciónes estéticas además la cintura de Selena era más pequeña y tenía silueta de Sirena
@@janesbriggs4406 que necesidad hay de estar colocándolas en rivalidad? Ni si quiera se conocieron, por Dios! lo de Sel, fue una TRAGEDIA nadie se imaginó que algo así pasaría, Jennifer, no le deseo la muerte para "reemplazarla" o ha pretendido decir NUNCA que es mejor que Selena, al contrario la recuerda con muchísimo agradecimiento y ayuda a mantener su recuerdo vivo, que es lo que realmente IMPORTA, ambas lucen hermosas, porque LO SON! (hablo de Sel, en presente porque en mi mente y corazón sigue viva) y siempre me acordaré de su rostro cuando vea a Jennifer, porque su trabajo retratándola fue tan impecable, que poco me interesa que medidas tenia cada una, (Selena, de hecho se operó para enfatizar aún más sus curvas) y su misma familia cuenta que en el proceso de la película sintieron la presencia de su hija, hermana y compañera, a través de Jen, por lo parecidas en esencia y estructura corporal, eso ninguna otra actriz ha podido reflejar, así que ya dejen de comparar negativamente a estas 2 bellezas latinas.
@@janesbriggs4406 que mentira los diseñadores de vestuario de la película han dicho que tenían casi las mismas medidas, Jlo tenía unos centímetros más o era más llenita que Selena pero no dicen que haya usado relleno
El nivel artístico de selena quintanilla es muy alto , muy segura , muy natural al expresar y que potencial de voz , definitivamente selena quintanilla es única e inigualable !!!!!!
I love everything about Selena I love the way she dances I love Lewis she talks she's a beautiful smart kind singer and dancer and actress I hope she was still here today performing at her concert she could have been performing in Philadelphia maybe or she performing in China or Ohio or something all I know is Selena rest in peace
Selena she was the best at being herself but not better than the rest no one is better than no one why because Jennifer Lopez also VERY unique J-LO 💃 🎶 have her very own skills Got all 3 In One she can perform excellent actress & she can SING and she's an excellent DANCERS 💃🏼💗
@@mdejesus3888 exactly. Selena was special in that manner. Good heart humble and simple. But I don't think I can call her the best of Latin America. Thats not appreciating Thalia, Paulina Rubio, shakira, jlo
I've watched the movie so many times. It still makes me cry every time. May Selena Rest In Peace. And JLo did a fantastic job playing her. Love the both. ❤️ 🇲🇽 +🇺🇸= Selena Quintanilla 👑 our queen of Tejano music.
Love the way you put this comparison together, the movie is pretty close to the original! Very well done! But is it just me or does Jennifer play it a little angrier at 29 seconds in?
R.I.P. Selena, we will miss you always, even tho I was born in 2004 I feel as if you where there singing to me as a baby, we don't know each other but, your music helps me and inspires me. I love you so much Selena
Siempre que veo la peli, o recuerdo a Selena me pregunto si viviera en estos tiempos que canciones cantaria? Seguiría cantando tex-mex, que estilo usaria, ropa color de cabello, se hubiera echo cirugias ya o no😁 como la mayoria , ( aunque no las necesitaba) conservaria su sencillez y carisma I 💗 selena
seria la reina de la musica global, solo ella podia dominar distintos géneros latinos aun siendo de habla inglesa, sin duda en ingles hubiera llegado muy alto y estar en un concierto de ella seria único espectacular porque uniria masas de distintas edades tal como lo hacia cantando solo en español, pero en ingles su debut postumo fue numero 1 por encima de grandes como jackson. Sin duda han pasado muchos años desde que selena fue asesinada ya hasta la fecha ninguna artista de origen categoria latino puede decir que la ha superado pues muchas latinas solo van con el pop y usando ahora aitotune por eso esas canciones de las nuevas divas que llaman , sencillamente pasan de moda, selena suena en distintas estaciones radiales en español o ingles por su diversidad musical . Tambien ella paso de ser una artista de musica a un icono a seguir, por eso vemos articulos diversos que se venden con su imagen y son exito de mercado. Todo eso es por la suma del pasado de selena en donde gano mas de 100 premios en vida y ser la unica latina popular en ser la imagen de coca cola o llenar el rodeo mas grande del mundo superando records de asistencia que tenia Sinatra o Jackson, sin olvidar que es la unica mujer en el mundo de la musica en tener 5 albumes completos dentro de los 200 mejores del mundo y ningun hombre o banda lo ha logrado.
Great job!! I have always thought that Jlo at the Disco Medley was not doing Selena’s moves at all, but with this video I realized she took moves from different parts of the concert... and that is amazing!!! J-Lo did an amazing job!! Don’t get mad, but Jennifer López deserved an Oscar by her role as Rami Malek by his rendition to Freddie... well, that’s my opinion hehe
All am going to say Selena never took of her top during disco medley. So 1 plus 1 is 2 un this case the comparison after a minute is Selena dancing to baila esta cumbia and other parts of the concert. Cause once again Selena never took her top off during disco medley
I was thinking the same, she did a great job, just as the guy who played the role of Freddie Mercury.... But none of them deserves an Oscar for dancing and lip-syncing, no matter how well they played their role.
@@luisbedolla3264 JLo had to fit an entire concert into a 3-5 minute shot . So yes , although Selena didn’t take her jacket off during the disco medley, jlo still had to incorporate that into the scene , which is why she uses dance moves from other songs with the disco medley.
I liked Jennifer's performance but any time there are side by side comparisons with Selena I cannot stop watching her. Selena had a presence that no one can match
Siempre que veo su hermosa sonrisa e inocencia me la imagino pidiendo ayuda cuando la maldita de Yolanda Saldívar le arrebató la vida y no me queda nada más que llorar💔descansa mi reina
JLO did an excellent job interpreting Selena. I can tell that JLO was very proud of playing Selena's life. I'm sure they'd become good friends if Selena was alive. Honestly, no one better than JLO could've done it.
@@alexandrahernandez4638 Es una mezcla de distintas canciones. Se llama DISCO MEDLEY, lo puede encontrar en RU-vid por ese nombre. Lo que sale en este vídeo es un extracto del último concierto que dio antes de que la asesinasen. El concierto (por si lo quiere buscar), se celebró en el Astrodome de Houston, Texas.
Nunca lo habia visto asi en comparacion y la vdd que jlo lo hizo muy bien...yo antes decia q no se parecia pero al verlo asi en comparacion mis respetos al trabajo de jlo..2019 y el mundo sigue recordando y nunca olvidaremos a nuestra hermosa REYNA DEL TEX MEX...SELENA POR SIEMPRE!!!
Para mi JLO lo hizo muy bien me hubiera gustado verla en una serie interpretandola. Tiene el cuerpazo obio no igual a selena ella era unica pero muy bonito. Lastima.
Creo que para todos esta película tiene un valor sentimental enorme. La mayoría crecimos viéndola en nuestra niñez/adolescencia. Yo la vi tantas noches por canal 5 (México), me encantaba tanto ver a esa chica llena de sueños y alegría, aun sin saber quién era (tenía yo escasos 4 o 5 añitos). Pero todos nos encariñamos demasiado con Selena, la película nos hizo sentirla tan cerca de nosotros que es por eso que es inevitable apreciarla mucho más que la nueva serie de netflix, que aunque no está mal, personalmente, espero que para la segunda temporada haya más acción y la actriz se desenvuelva más en el papel de Selena 💜
True but I don't think anyone could've made it better than Jlo, she's a dancer too, just that selena's natural moves aren't Jlo's naturals moves. She did really good in my opinion.
Wow,seeing this comparison for the first time and I'm completely blown away!!! Selena Forever,But Jennifer Lopez did an Amazing job in this scene,I remember ordering this on Ppv...
It's sad how haters discredit JLo so much by saying she would be nothing without Selena. She worked so hard and putted so much efforts in every detail. Not everybody can do this. Selena movie did great because of JLo's hardwork. Nobody could have done it except her. The Netflix series is an example. Just because you don't like her does not mean you'll discredit her all the time. Whatever JLo has today because of her talent and hardwork. She deserves respect!
J.LO DID A EXCELLENT JOB PORTRAYING SELENA & I THINK SELENA, HERSELF, WOULD BE PROUD OF J.LO'S PERFORMANCE IN THE BIOPIC MOVIE, RIP TO OUR QUEEN,SELENA!!!! #VIVASELENA2020 #SELENALAREINA
Jlo did a great job but Selena is more graceful. The subtle movements of Selena that makes her unique. When Selena danced to the rhythm, they are very graceful, ladylike. J.Lo's movements to the rhythm was very rough and a bit manly. Even at the end when Selena waved her hand to the crowd, it was so graceful. Meanwhile, J.Lo waved her hand like a little kid 😂 Anyhow, thanks J.Lo for portraying Selena but there will always be only one Selena.
I think it has to do with the fact that Jennifer Lopez is a trained dancer who used to dance for Janet Jackson and on In Living Color. It's hard to unlearn what comes natural to you, so her dance style was bound to pop out. But she did such a great job! You can tell she studied the tape and tried to emulate Selena's movement, so it looked like a real Selena concert, even if she didn't always do the choreography spot on. In that respect, you do get an essence of Selena as a performer. It's hard to imagine anyone else doing a better job than Jennifer did with this role. Just look at how messy El Secreto de Selena looks... I'm praying for Netflix's Selena series.
Amen. Jlo is not a natural dancer. When doing routines, you can see her practically doing the count in her head. Selena was a natural so it just flowed. Jlo is mechanical.
Plus Selena had natural showmanship that you cannot just learn. It has to already be in you. She wanted the audience to have fun and give them a good time. They always got their money’s worth and then some with Selena.
@@coffeecakes1858 first of all Selena cannot really dance she just do three turns okay she is not a real dancer at all so you do not need no skills to turn 3 time or4 that is not dancing even a kid could do that
JLo did her homework so well. i can see JLo's passion here to learn all the details and deliver it as Selena, as it is. I admire both talented ladies❤️
Appreciate Jlo for helping keep Mi Reina Selena’s legacy alive 🌹🌹❤️ miss her so much this is so nostalgic because I remember the first time I watched the movie & have been loved her ever since then 🌹❤️
JLO was my first introduction to Selena and is the reason I even started listening to Selena. Its still hard for me to separate the two! JLO was phenomenal at her portrayal. I believe JLO was the real Selena she was that good. If only she had the same vocal as her lol
There was a moment when one of Selena’s earring felt down and she thrown the other earring, they missed that part but JLO was stunning in the biopic ! #ForeverSelena ❤️
I liked the way they did the concert scenes in the movie than the series because the movie at least showed her doing the dance moves while the series kept focusing on the waist up and not the full body movement..christian wasnt that bad in it but her dancing wasnt captured as good as the movie if that makes sense..I don’t know how to put it in words
both jennifer and christian did great and what’s important is if they told the story right, y’all have to remember selena’s own family had the final say in casting and there’s no need to compare these amazing women
Selena fue y al parecer será única" en su género musical Jlo supo aprovechar este trampolín para ser conocida alo que se ha convertido a hoy dia pero antes de interpretar este papel de Selena ella NO había sido conocida en el mercado como a hoy se le conoce' aunque ambas tienen estilos diferentes para mi gusto personal y criterio SELENA REALIZO UN GRAN TRABAJO EINIGUALABLE .
I remember the Selena movie use to come on channel Vh1 back then a lot after it hit theaters l use to always watch it. Jlo did a good job playing Selena. Can’t believe it’s been all these years since her passing. Selena was a amazing singer and talent. RIP Selena ❤😢
El doble perfecto. Si te llamas Selena querida Jennifer. La puesta en escena quedo exacta en tus movimientos y desplazamientos en el escenario algo muy difícil de lograr.tremendo cuerpazo y voz de juntas.
Impresionamte, lo que hicieron con esa rola para que fueran iguales los vodeos😍, ya que SELENA se quito la chaqueta despues de I will survive. Amazing👏👏👏👏
