I saw the movie Selena for the first time last night and was blown away (Jennifer Lopez is mesmerizing). I was familiar with Selena's music to the extent of "I Could Fall in Love" and aware of her murder, but knew nothing beyond that. Her story is inspiring and yet all too familiar: a young artist whose potential is tragically cut short. But the music on this album is magic. As manufactured as some may say it is, I respectfully disagree. Selena's voice and spirit is a celebration of life. Every time I hear "Dreaming of You", I get a little misty-eyed. Not only do I think of the sad end of Selena, but imagine how special it must be to share with the world how much you love someone.
