Answer 2

Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (April 16, 1971 – March 31, 1995), best known as Selena, was a Mexican American singer who has been called "the queen of Tejano music".[1] The youngest child of a Mexican-American couple, Selena released her first album at the age of twelve. She took the award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1987 at the Tejano Music Awards and landed a recording contract with EMI a few years later. Her fame continued to grow throughout the early 1990s, especially in Spanish-speaking countries. Her album Selena Live! won a Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Album at the 36th Grammy Awards, and her 1994 album Amor Prohibido was nominated for another Grammy and produced four number one Spanish hits.

Selena attained further notability in the United States and Mexico after Yolanda Saldívar, the president of her fan club, murdered her at the age of 23. On April 12, 1995, two weeks after her death, George W. Bush, then the governor of Texas, declared her birthday "Selena Day" in Texas.[2] Warner Brothers made a film based on her life starring Jennifer Lopez in 1997. As of June 2006, Selena was commemorated with a museum and a bronze life-sized statue (Mirador de la Flor in Corpus Christi, Texas). Both the statue and museum are visited by hundreds of fans each week.

Answer 3

she was this mexican girl who grew up in a band and her best friend was in charge of her fan club and was stealing money from Selena and when Selena found out, she confronted her and then she shot and killed Selena. She is a great singer!! there is also a movie out about her.

Answer 4

Try watching the movie. The one with Jennifer Lopez. It's called Selena. Or check out wikipedia. But basically, mexican woman, her father always wanted to be a singer, but no one took mexican men singers seriously, so he pushed his family to be singers, and she had the best voice, so he made them create a family band focused around her, and she became famous and then died. In a nutshell

Answer 5

Selena was an increible singer! She was from Mexico and hit Pop stardom there and in the United States. Saldy she was shot by someone that was very close to her. She was incredible! I say that again, but she really was. If you would like to see her you can see her on www.youtube.com. Just do a search for her. She believed in herself and did what she needed to do. She was an inspiration and is greatly missed.

Answer 6

First of all she was NOT from Mexico..she was from Corpus Christi. SHe was very down to earth, and was loved by millions of people. She sang Tejano, and always managed to give a great show. She has an amazing voice! She was married to Chris Perez (against her Manager father wishes) but she was looking forward to starting a family.
She found out a close friend of hers Yolanda Saldivar was stealing money from her. When she confronted Yolanda, she shot Selena and she bled to death. It was very tragic. I still remember when i found out. She was a great role model for the Latin community. I have no doubt she would have been bigger than big now...

Answer 7

She was a Mexican-American performer/singer who was killed by her fan club president. Jennifer Lopez protrayed her in the movie Selena.

Answer 8

Selena was a good singer. She broke the barrier for Mexican-American singers! I was definetly sad when she died though =[

Answer 9

She was a famous tajano (spanish)singer from corpus cristie texas. Her life was cut short by a crazed fan member named yolanda slavador whom she hired to work for her.
