Oy, am I the only Selena fan here? I have albums:

Selena (1989)
Ven Conmigo (1990)
Entre a Mi Mundo (1992)
17 Super Exitos (1993)
Amor Prohibido (1994)
12 Super Exitos (1994)
Dreaming of You (1995)
Selena movie soundtrack (1997)
Ones (also includes DVD with 13 music videos) (2003)

I had this book "Selena Secrets" a long time ago, but I dunno what happened to it.
It's just such a sad story. She was on the verge of a crossover, wanted a family, and was only 23 when that bitch Yolanda Saldivar killed her over money. She was such an angel.

I LOVE SELENA!!! She was so talented! Unfortunatly I havn't heard many of her songs 'cause I don't speak spanish, hence, I don't spend to much time in the Hispanit/Latino section of my local music store.

I just go into my local Kmart or Wal-Mart to get my CD's. Most of them, surprisingly, have the little liner notes and things in English. The only problems I've had are Amor Prohibido (everything was in Spanish, and I do mean everything) and Selena (one spoken liner note was in Spanish, and the guy was laughing, so I missed out on the joke. Wah). Plus, www.selcity.com has translations to almost all of her songs.

Yay! Thanks, I love foreign music [Spanish, Japanese, Russian, etc.] I liked the movie "Selena", I thought that it was a pretty good depiction of her life, really sad though!

Ya know, there is a Latin Music topic that's feeling pretty neglected right now.

But I like Selena. I've had Como La Flor stuck in my head for two days.
