Both are awesome!!!

Does not matter it’s amazing 😽

dimitreze it’s ok

dimitreze yes, it was on my birthday., the 26th of Febuary.

Wow, on my birthday! 🌹 I was turning 4 years old

Samantha Castro she only sang 3 words

j p who Selena or Jennifer Lopez

Samantha Castro Jennifer

The family wanted it that way so it would be more of a tribute to Selena and honar her memory

When did JLO sing??

its yourmom for real and her body and laugh

Yes!!

its yourmom but if anyone could’ve tried, it’d be JLo💓

Jordyn Caston she tried but jlo can't compare to selena and that's a fact sorry

And her personality she was so sweet and kind ☁️💘

Right? It's like she gave the character life, and she did a good job at it. I dont like JLo but I give her props for her good acting in that role she nailed it. I haven't watched the series that just came out but I kinda dont want to I feel like the actress doesn't cut it. Jlo was the best Selena in my opinion!

@@StevieMichelle yea exactly! compared to the new selena movie shes was excellent

Absolutely

I remember the first time I heard Selena on the radio. I was in middle school. I remember my dad driving me to school every morning They would be playing dreaming. Then when my dad would pick me up from school on the ride home they would be playing dreaming. Something about the inflection in her voice just really made it feel like she was So relatable. Her voice was very heart-warming. It was refreshing because it was different than anything else on the radio at the time. And then by the time I got to high school I remember one of my first dates with a guy who was a junior It was a 1996 Ford probe. Lol he picked me up and we went to see Selena the movie premiere at the movies. I was wondered what she would have accomplished. I really feel that Jennifer Lopez caught the soul of Selena . It was almost like God knew that she was a special soul that I had to live on somehow in some way in her earthly likeness body on Earth. What an angel Selena was and is. You could tell that whatever she had was something super special and she was a passionate person and friend. She is the type of friend that everybody longs for.

I don't what you're looking at but I saw comments only complimenting Jennifer on the job she did on her portrayal.

MarvelFan3000 Hillary fr? Your moms lucky

Aiden Ziewsk its crazy how shes gone, I still cant believe it 😭😭

Daisy Riel IK she’s been gone for so long she died before I was born and it’s still hard to believe she’s gone, I forget she’s gone sometimes

LUCKY!!!!

MarvelFan3000 Hillary I love Disco Medley 16 February 1995

ikr

She was a whole queen.

Honestly they should have a Hispanic Princess model after her

They should make a disney Princess after her that would be so cool

Do they have a Selena Doll , if not they should

I heard the black dancer already passed as well.

Pete Astudillo in the movie is also the real Pete that played with Selena.

@@yolandamartinez4161 Yes, Don Shelton passed away of cancer a few years ago.

@@jmatujeehut damn.. i wonder if making the movie was hard for him and brought him back when selena was alive

His name is Don Shelton

Maybe Jessica Alba would've been better... She had a rounder face and still look similar-ish.

But now she still acting like she's Selena 😂

Probably. Too bad Jennifer can't imitate Selena's kindness, compassion, being nice, and not self involved.

ProudKansan08 To bad you can’t imitate Selena’s kindness.... read/listen to your comment and take it to consideration for yourself.

Maya Lopez How? In what ways?

Maya Lopez how? You got to be kidding

And still 95% of the time she is singing holding the microphone on her left hand when Selena does it with the right hand (you can see it more clearly on the first concert) I never notice that until now...

@@aracelichely2954 get help.

@@doggylover108 forreal tho!

@@aracelichely2954 i don't know if i don't see that well but in these clips she holds it mostly in her right hand

Factssss JLo really brought her soul to the movie 😢

This is exactly what I was thinking. It must've been so strange and depressing.

y don shelton

That must of been weird for him going back in time...

For a split second, during the Como La Flor scene in Monterrey, you can actually see him getting visibly emotional.

Watch the true story of the Mexican singer named Jenni Rivera, she lived for her children and nothing could keep her down, she lived one hell of a life with so much going on day after day, drama after drama you'd think her life could of been a soap opera, a tele novela is how you say that in spanish. Her life will touch you and leave you tearing through out the movie, it's actually a series but it's well worth the time to sit down and take in her life into yours. The name of the movie I'm sure it's still on Netflix is called Mariposa Del Barrio she died in an air plane crash and had gotten threats from Mexico not to sing in their country as many artists who have went against thier threats and many have died. Chalino Sanchez was killed also before Jenni he was a good friend of the Rivera family when Chalino was branching out into Mexico just as Jenni did after him . Officials say Jenni's plane was a suspicious crash because it didn't have a black box in it. All who were on board including the pilot died in that crash nose first. Jenni is missed so so much as much as Selena. This plane crash should have never happened. You will love her also just as much as Selena, you will see😊

SAME. I am crying right now :(

When she sings Coma La Flor and the beginning starts slow, usually gets me as well as a couple others. 😔

That’s how I felt about Michael Jackson

Yeees, the best movie of JLO , and probably after this "The Cell" no more!

Agree! JLo is a great actress in my opinion (Monster in Law is comedy gold!) but this role was just the greatest thing ever. She was also great in Hustlers I just didn’t love the film overall. A lot of her movies do not showcase her amazing talent. But this movie!?!?! She fucking NAILED it. I always knew she nailed it. But watching the new series just made me appreciate this performance even more than I already did

@Montravius Daniel oh I would have to agree. Her performance in Hustlers was way better than - did not match - the film itself. She has so many great films tho I mean I personally love “Enough” 😂 and many others. But yep hands down Selena is the best

Totally agree! Jennifer did a really great job as Selena!! And I am saying it, knowing that Selena was unique❤, she merited a great actress to play her, only J-Lo could do it. ( Sorry if my english is not very good).

bull shit, she was horrible!

I thought it was widely known that the Mexican community wasn’t pleased with Jennifer’s portrayal. I’ll say I’m not much a fan of what she brings to the industry nowadays, but her depiction of Selena will a,ways rank high. There was literally no one better during that time and she took such care with the role.

IT DOES NOT MATTER SELENA 🙏💜💜💜💜💜

Oh ha my grandma was pissed but after she said she did well and felt like she was seeing Selena again 😔

I was one of those people! I had no idea who JLO was back then and was so pissed. I however love this movie and am proud of Jlos portrayal and love both Selena and JLO today!

I mean I don’t blame but glad the change their mind about it tho. .🤔😑.

no she did not

@@pokkipix she did.

@@iAmAlexRafael well in my opinion she didn’t do very well for me

@@pokkipix 😂

@@pokkipix who you think could’ve done it better then

hiswifey2004 wow really? How did he pass??

Tiffany Michelle I think he passed away due to having Cancer

Adora Kim aww man that's sad I didn't know that

hiswifey2004 his name was Don Shelton 😉

Dude I cry and I wasn’t even alive when she passed. Her death has a heavy impact on me when I think about it tho cause she was so cool and talented, and also think about the what if(s).

better than queen

Le hubieran maquiyadonoscuro la mejillas

I’ve heard from people who have worked with JLo that SHE is the nightmare.

@@amykyns15 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yup i heard that too, she can be mean

Arrasou mesmo...

I low key thought she really needed a damn tan like GORL she wasn’t that white

For real!!

Selena was loved because for once it was indigenous woman who represented other brown mexican girls

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY 👏👏👏

Christian did a very generic job and super low energy, I’m not sure it was whitewashed, just bad casting, cause if you think about it, jlo isn’t that tan either but gotdayum she has the energy and charisma and stage presence. Everything Christian lacks. Zero personality.

Same.

I agree

Same

Makes sense ❤️

YES‼️FR💯😩

And her slibings

I didn't see her actual siblings in the movie...

loveinspired7 But they are in the movie.

Shenice Says Selena's actual siblings are not in the movie and neither is her husband Chris Perez.

Kimberly Soberano I've seen the movie many times and never saw any of her actual siblings... Can you point out a scene in the movie where you saw them? Maybe I just missed them...?

That passage had me bawling like a freaking baby! I swear, I couldn't take it! DAMN, how I wish that never happened! It's just not fair.

man that was hard ...thank you for sharing that how sweet and heart wrenching . you feel his words....and your final thought is my sentiments exactly ...Its just not fair ....why.

Oh my God Chris....how many beautiful stories to be told should you have on your heart from that time !!! Moments that are and will be only yours an hers....

Why'd you have to go and make me cry? It's so unfair what happened to her. Such an incredible talent and an amazing soul. Selena was a truly genuine and humble person who appreciated her fans.

Sad

I thought at the time it came out, JLo moved more like Angela Bassett playing Tina Turner in the movie "What's Love Got to Do with It." Yeah, she was definitely off in the gestures.

No she wasn't! She was SPOT ON with all her moves!!!! You guys are blind or crazy!!!!

Jonsa Lyn She was definently off a little bit but overall she did DAMN good

The thing that makes you a good actress is including a part of yourself into the character. Still staying true to the character. Jenny nailed it! Because of her I know and fell Inlove with Selena and I am so grateful for/to her for that!

Agreed....there is not one other that could have played Selena with more justice given.!!! No one would ever have been able to nail it exactly, move for move, gesture for gesture, look for look, but over all Jennifer Lopez took an iconic artist and paid the most beautiful compliment to her memory. In my humble opinion, one talented, beautiful performer played another onscreen... and I was made privy to the talent and beauty of an artist that I may not otherwise have been privy to.

Celines Velez 😢this comment made me 😢 the feelings ❤

That's so beautiful 😭💜

Yeah she was like you gonna go eat my portrayal girl. Now SERVE lol.

@@kelseyissastar an did lol

Kiera M JLO LOOK EUROPEAN AND SELENA MEXICAN THAT IS FACT DEAR . JLO MORE BEAUTUFULL FOR MILESSS

@@escarlincanarioperez3534 She looks pretty how you said "miles a way" becaue she is characterized as Selena. If she would of been herself she would totally look how she came out in the movie Anaconda which was filmed around that time. FACT

@@escarlincanarioperez3534 JLO doesn't look European haha wtf, she looks puerto Rican. Also selena is fucking gorgeous especially that smile.

@@escarlincanarioperez3534 jlo and her smile are awful. Fake

Both beautiful but selena has a better smile and shape face more oval than jlo more square ish!

Victor Chapa to be honest though JLo got famous off this movie. Our society would have been way different. Things happen for a reason.

True but this pig shot her in the right sholder and hit the largest blood vein that goes to the heart

Tell that to that fucking Yolanda who single handedly destroyed her & everything else they had ALL worked so hard to accomplish for, by theft to senseless ass murder.

Yeah bc of Yolanda we lost a true legend in Mexican American music

@@organicman7600 Exactly, that poor family worked so hard to get where they were but that bitch had to ruin it...

Felicity For Now Felicity For Now she had to learn Selena’s dance moves yeah I’m pretty sure for her it was natural because she was already an experience dancer But she had to copy someone else’s dance moves

Felicity For Now Felicity For Now And she admitted she had to spend hours and hours and weeks learning Selena’s dance moves she wanted to make sure she wouldn’t screw it up. Yeah her dancing background helped but when your playing somebody else their dancing is a lot different then yours you have to nail it and JLO did Selena Justice

She did so good! Her movements are so genuine looking. Man Selena is such a beautiful person.

Joseph Mendoza kind of copped her tho after..

Joseph Mendoza v c Y

Omg yes finally someone understands!

@@mariahadorno7400 right!! I finished the series and my only problem was her stage performances and some cringey acting here and there

@@BeyondBelleza when I was watching the series... I saw it like Serratos was playing Jlo and not Selena. Yk what I mean?

@@f0rreas0nsunkn0wn i agree!

@@BeyondBelleza yes she didn’t embody Selena whatsoever. At least for me that’s why I liked how Jlo portrayed her because she really took the time to study Selena’s mannerisms and everything.

That’s what my mother says, and she’s not wrong she did a beautiful job.

If u get me to 10k u get ice cream honestly I doubt it I still feel that styles would still continue to change

They have here clothes look alike at fashion nova

A lot of people copy her style to this day

sooyoung it’s not specifically her style

@@heidy4638 Exactly, she lived in America so she basically adopted American styling from those times, and they had their rodeo style clothing too which was a mix of American 90's disco big pants on the underneath (bell pants) with a mix of their Kumbia dancing clothes and cowboy styles. So at the end it was all a mix lol

Yh dey was quick with it... But good nobody get to back out of it

her family felt pressured to take control and release a movie asap because within weeks after Selena's death, so many documentaries and movies were already being planned without their consent, and they wanted to be able to control the stories being made about Selena.

Selena's actual last performance was March 19, 1995

pretty suspect.

scarlit i thought the same thing but then I found out that they did it so quickly because the family found out that someone was already trying to film a documentary about Selena without getting consent or letting them control what was in the movie. I guess they figured who better to tell her story than none other than her family.

Jennifer Lopez was cool back then now she's no good. Especially marrying her cheater of a husband Ben Affleck...good thing her last fiance A-Rod broke it off with her I have a feeling she was communicating with Affleck during their relationship and he busted her.

Only 79,999 more

I can

David Martinez who cares.

You are very blessed that you got to see that at such a young age I never got to see a Selena concert in my life

David Martinez Thats awesome ! A great memory to have

Yes, I agree 100%. You said it so well, thank you!

@Rellz Tv you can get your point across without cussing people out🤣

Rellz Tv it’s not that fucking serious ISSA MOVIE DUMB ASS

Eh, she may have done a good job, but Selena will always have a better body!!!😊😊😊J/S, the fuschia outfit didn't fit her n look as great as it did on Selena!😉 I'm not a big fan of J-LO after I seen how conceited she can be n forgot where she came from now that she has fame n fortune. Yes J-LO does have some nice songs n a nice voice, but in my opinion, her personality STINKS!😉

I 100% agree. I’ve seen so many vids and literally all of the dancing/gestures were done by Selena in a mixture of performances. Jlo copied the moves exactly how Selena did them. For example At 4:50 and 5:40 Selena does those moves in the El Paso 1994 of La Carcacha. It’s not seen in a lot of performances, but Jlo picked up some moves that weren’t done a lot for the movie.

Edith Compra exactly. Finally someone who understands me

Rellish Quintanilla It’s only a few of us out there. 😄

Edith Compra right! Lmaoo

actually there was a casting where a girl that look so much as selena won, also there were rumors where selena actually admitted that the girl really look like her . Her name was Leticia Miller but i think she was killed by her boyfriend a week before the movie production, also in that time people thought that JLo killed her or something like that...thats some rumors so I'm not sure if thats was real. By the way I'm not hating, also i admit that JLo was the indicated actress for the movie

On a scale of 1 out of 10 for Jennifer playing Selena I'm giving her a 9 or 8 no hate. I loved that Jennifer had the opportunity to play Selena and she did she did a amazing job playing her and Jennifer honoring Selena after her passing

Oh yes they did

Valessa let’s not forget Taron Egerton

Lou diamond Philip's did a good job as Ritchie valens he just wasn't the right shape as ritchie

What about ritchie valens??

Cause Selena has real talent

Mary Jane I just watched an interview and her father said he only watched the ending once and her sister said she still can’t watch it even to this day 😔 The mother is never in interviews and apparently can’t even talk about Selena or have her brought up in conversation. It’s so heartbreaking it really is.

Hmmm there’s a netflix show about her life coming soon... we’ll see, hoping it’ll be good & different !

Lindsey Carribean really? omg now i’m super excited for thattttt

@@tatianamalone4236 yep it will be a show of several episodes going deep down in her story. It will be available in December, You can already check the trailers.

IT DOES NOT MATTER SELENA 🙏😲😲😲😲😲

INSTAGRAM gemaproano6 🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe it or not a lot of people were against J.Lo playing Selena. They felt the family should've found a Mexican actress instead of choosing a Puerto Rican one.

@@Blackgirlswag86 heck the guy who played Chris is also Puerto Rican. Lots and lots of Mexican people auditioned but Jennifer had a drive and there was no doubt they got it right...she could handle the acting dancing of Selena.

@@rhdtv2002 I never personally said she couldn't. She even talk about it herself in a couple of interviews back in the day about ppl having a problem with it and also claiming she didn't deserve the part b/c she didn't speak good Spanish even though Selena didn't either. I really don't think ppl cared about who was playing Chris. The movie was about Selena she was the star not him. You can easily google these interviews.

Whatever that idiot no one knew her, Selena was famous not that damn mutt.

U look like her

Sure he was the one involved in the blood sacrifice ordered by the elite to murder Selena and push forward Jaylo

Diurno MX What the heck r u saying?

Mark 120a I’m as confused as you are

Nick Gold ikr

Paulina Glav I'm sure there was a lot of practice so that would happen 😄

Ufh

but the speech at the Grammy wasn't exactly. I remember the movie The Queen and the actress says exactly the same words and even with the same tone.

@@jgmfuentes Ya the movie made the speech more emotional. I have no problem with it by the way.

Felipe Fuentes they also got a lot of parts wrong but I still love it

For me JLo was Selena. She had the essence and spirit of Selena, herself.

@@laffin_out_loud jlo cant sing, selena had vocals.

@@brayantdeleon4026 they used Selenas voice in the movie tho, Jlo didn't sing.

@@laffin_out_loud en ella si puedo ver a selena, en Serratos no 😔

True

I agree with that! The Queen!

This was NOT to compare who was the better performer🙄🙄🙄🙄

Jenny was actually amazing. Oscar winning performance. But this performance isn't appreciated why?

Es chido

This is why I say the movie is a tribute to Selena and her legacy. Her family made the show as a cash cow.

JLo lipsynced her entire singing career. She is a pro at it.

If you looked closely JLO didn't use the same hand as Selena did!

It pat not pack

Yesssssssw.....I was like geeez, even the same finger movements!!! It's incredible!!! Best biopic ever!!!

Thats what I said

The only thing she didnt have is selenas southern accent

I agree 💜

Monica Flores And her voice...

Sergio Ampv They used a recordings of Selena’s voice there only was one scene where Jennifer actually sings the rest of the movie she was lip syncing

Una gran película!

Exactly! Compared to Serratos, they taught her how to “dance exactly” like Selena with a so called expert Selena dance imitator (which is not lol). And JLo, we can tell in the movie she was super tired but happy to be in the movie as Selena’s role. I miss Selena 😔😭

I still believe that JLo was a little exagerate her dance but serratos look boring she barely dance I'm not an expert and I believe they did their job and we all know that nobody will compare to Selena And it is beatiful to have people recognizing Selena was awesome and a big inspiration

And I really like JLo as an actress she had the awesome opportunity that a lot of girls would wish to have and she nailed

This is one of my favorite movies..i didnt know jlo when it came out but it was really good...resembles her which is hard bc Selena was so shapely yet small. Love it. New one, not so much

@@dayanapacheco1313 does serratos actually sing in the series?

Me too

Woah!really!?

Honestly yeah same 😂

Funniest comment 😂

I made that mistake in thinking the same thing. And that’s because JLo did such and amazing job in playing Selena. She actually studied her, got to know and worked with Selena’s family on this. I see JLo’s love for Selena I’m this role. Selena was such a beautiful soul, unfortunately I didn’t have the chance to see her do things while she was alive. But I’ve gotten to know her through this amazing movie.

Yup. Especially after holding tryouts to the public

Melissa Sanchez would've been better.

IT DOES NOT MATTER SELENA 🙏😲😲😲😲😲

INSTAGRAM gemaproano6 🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yes Jennifer did wonderful job

It must have been so hard for her family. This was only two years later, it must have been a painful and beautiful labor of love

The only biopic movie I will cry at the end of.

Yes she did 🙌🏾💯💯💯

what planet are you on, SHE SUCKS!! cannot hold a candle next to the decent and beautiful Selena, she has been riding her coattails ever since, and riding all kinds of men along the way to get to where she at right now!

@@jazzlover9050 this movie WASNT made to replace Selena it was made to show people who Selena was and what she went through when not on stage. I’m 99% sure Selena would have been so excited about a movie being made about how she changed and influenced the world. JLo literally spent weeks with Selena’s family to prepare for this role bc selena inspired her just like so many other people. Please stop being arrogant.

Agreed

Angels 💓

Oh man aaliyah's death sent chills down my spine. I had to fly that day too. Ill never forget it!

Same here 💞

I agree. They were great already but left too soon.😞

I hope that a real director remakes that horrible display of a movie that played on Lifetime Aaliyah deserves that much! Smh!

Matheus Demarco her training

Since when did they let convicted murders like Yolanda Saldivar have the means to comment on You Tube?

Matheus Demarco her dancing always compensates for her lack of vocals

Selena was gracefull. It was like a princess who was dancing.

JLO had training while Selena was self-taught since childhood.
