Why 'Selena' star Christian Serratos Chose to Lip-Sync Selena's Songs

- "Selena" star Christian Serratos recognized she had some big shoes to fill when she took on the titular role of the Netflix series. Not only was she going to be compared to the original singer Selena, but also Jennifer Lopez who wowed audiences with her performance in Greg Nava's 1997 “Selena” biopic.
Similar to the previous biopic, Serratos made the decision not to sing her own version of Selena's songs and opted to perform the singer's original music instead. "I recorded quite a few songs, and I think it was always supposed to be the actress singing but … I always wanted it to be Selena because I was such a fan," she said.

If she didn’t lip sync everybody would be coming for her!!!
They're already coming for her
Well if she didn’t lip sing and sounded like Selena of course we wouldn’t complain.. we would be praising her good vocals...🤦♀️
Her lip syncing was a little off in some parts but I’d rather have it over her singing them herself, because you are right ppl would come after her for it.
I was going to say I don't think she had a choice! Cause fans wouldn't have liked that one bit!
@@ilovefrowning-9696 her lip syncing was off on purpose because Selena used to struggle with lip syncing too. So they’re portraying that in the series. Her brother talked about it.
I love that she actually didn't want to sing in the series I definitely think that it's important for selena's actual voice to be shown through. I haven't seen that since j.lo played her in the movie.
It's only right. If you're making a movie / series about such a legendary artist, I feel like it's the respectful thing, both to that artist, and their fans. It's very rare that an actor or an actress can sing the songs of a legendary artist in their own voice, and really do their songs justice enough to make the part they're playing believable. That's how I feel, anyway.
@@rosstrovato9535 in la bamba Lou diamond Phillips lip sing to another singers version of Richie valens song I don’t know why though but he did
@@nikitalegacy
Lou didn’t sing it was los lobos who did the music for that music
@@nikitalegacy that's what they said
@@isai267
No it isn’t
Same reason Jennifer Lopez lip - synced. You can be the greatest actress in the world, but you're not gonna sing like Selena sang. Why even go there? Nothing personal against either actress, but that's just a fact.
@Undead Officer why
@Undead Officer huh
@Undead Officer you 1st
@Undead Officer LMFAO
The only singer that was closer to how Selena sang, was Jennifer Pena.. when she was younger she sounder like Selena!!
Tbh I never noticed she was lip syncing she did so good.
Me too..
I hate that people are hating on her, she is such a loyal and loving person and they are so mean to her and my anger issues get in the way and I get furious sounds corny but idk it’s annoying...
I feel you
Right, i think she did an amazing job.
I don’t hate her! But I feel like she wasn’t best for the role. But it’s that’s my opinion.
I feel the same way! I think she did a great job, I don’t get all the hate she is receiving... she shouldn’t. She tried, she worked hard, and I personally love the series.
Maybe it’s because she’s dating a ridiculously hot musician which seems a bit shallow. Who knows tho 😎
I remember her from Ned’s Declassified. It’s great to see she’s now playing an iconic role like Selena.
IKKKK
Omg! Susie!
I always think of her from that show FOREVERRR
Yup one of my fav shows
i was wondering where i seen her!
No one will ever be happy with who is cast as Selena. There were things I didn't like about the series, but I don't think it was bad. Selena was irreplaceable. One of a kind. We all have the image of her and come in with bias. Christian did fine, I just wish they'd have worked on the lip synching more in editting.
Agreed. Even though at first I felt like Christian wasn't "nailing" the role of Selena, there's no way anyone can be *exactly* like Selena. She was a one of a kind star and she was tragically taken from the world much too soon. I think it's a touching detail to help us remember that THE Selena is gone and we are just watching an actress portray her.
@@Sassafrass-qh8po Well put!
Finally! Some people are just annoying when they complain. It’s literally like a documentary about Selena and all they think about is the actress playing her.
I love how everyone is talking like the personality knew Selena, none of you knew her. If her family thinks she did a good job and they chose her, there’s a reason for it she did it well and if her family is happy with her preference that’s all that matters, the lip syncing wasn’t great I’ll give y’all that
I’m just disappointed that the lip singing was off. They should’ve took more time editing the singing to make a lip singing better
Me too, especially in the very first scene. It didn’t let me connect right away
I blame the editors for that
@@enriquev1271 exactly. Editing laziness.
This series was ok, but the casting was off, she was not a good pick..I’m sorry!!
Yes! Why did they do that!
Why would she sing in the series? Lol it’s Selena...
They are use Selena voice
Thats what they usually do in tv series & movies about singers i think
@@user-bo1os9nz8e Renee Zellweger sang as Judy Garland
Thank you!
The actor in the Luis Miguel series sang too
I honestly think she did a great job playing Selena,being Selena, feeling the spirit of Selena. Can’t wait for next season. Mucho amor para Selena ❤️
I’m honestly really excited to see her play Selena. She respects her so much.
Finally! A positive comment. Same here.
Exactly
Do y’all remember her in the twilight movies?
she wasn’t on twilight
@@katieecalderon yes she was, she was Bella’s school friend with the glasses :)
Omg she was!
Yes, she played her friend Angela. 🙂
no
I'm really glad she didn't sing. We got to hear Selenas voice once more.
She did so well!! Good job Christian loved the series.
I don’t think she wouldn’t have played this role if the family didn’t like her.
AT all
well obviously
@@biking7747 well some people don’t get that.
The family had no say in who was casted actually
@@PIERCETHEBRI how
I love Selena ! so proud that Netflix released the show . People are always complaining and criticizing things about shows and movies that don’t meet their expectations. I liked it ! Keep her legacy alive forever ! 💜 Selena
I had saw the first commercial for the Selena series before but i recently found the commercial with Christian in Selena's iconic white outfit and i lost it. Goosebumps popped up on my arms and i cried. My husband laughed at me but i truly cried. I honestly can't wait...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 lmaooooo jlo looked better than this actress
@@kimberly11091 ya know i guess jlo could have played the mom in the series. Lol. I think Christian is pretty and she's an amazing actress. I believe Selena would be proud. Christian is actually a bigger star than jlo was at the time she played Selena so yeah i think Sel would be thrilled..
Same! Goosebumps. Her movements, connection to the audience, smile, and charisma was similar.
@@kathybernal1326 Yes! Exactly!! And of course, her 94 Astrodome Outfit is my very favorite of them all. When i think of Selena as an Angel, that's the outfit i see. So maybe that's why it affected me so plus the fact footage from the 94 Astrodome concert is so hard to find but yes i cried. I will admit, i literally flipping cried. And i highly doubt I'm alone. I can't wait until tomorrow. I bet in some way, some how, something will break tomorrow when this series comes out. Selena is so loved all over the world, i have no doubt. But don't worry ME, YOU AND MANY MANY OTHER'S WILL FIND A WAY TO WATCH IT!!! 💃
Did you guys just watch the series to criticize the lip syncing the series was good she did a good job.
Agreed! The series was good in my opinion. I mean it didn't have enough Selena in it. But hopefully in part 2 they will portray Chris & Selenas relationship more in depth.
No, we watched to see a good portrayal of Selena but this wasn't it :/ Bad acting, bad dancing, lip synching, story was too choppy and all over the place....felt more like a Lifetime movie
The series was good this actress was mediocre at best.
Yes. I watched it.. in the first episode she missed a lot of the little extras that Selena did. Lip sync was not good at all.
Y’all need to calm down. What matters is the story, what she looks like. She tried her best. She loves Selena too
I think people forget it's about the story!! Which was told beautifully. Yes, the visuals can get in the way at times, but like I said it's about the story. I think we were able to gain a lot of insight on her family's upbringing and the real stepping stones of her career and the works of her family WITH visuals. It was a great portrayal so far. Cant wait for part 2
I’m actually sad they didn’t incorporate real footage actually. I was waiting for it when she would sing
The lip sync and dance move were meh but the story being told is beautiful, the acting was compelling and I believe Suzette did an amazing job in portraying the entire family’s role in Selena’s success. A.B. Is a lyrical and musical genius but boy was he bogged with pressure. So, hush up about “jlo did better dance moves” jlo was first a dancer, this girl is an actress first and it shows. 👏🏼
Perfect comment. My thoughts exactly
I completely agree
This makes me even more excited to see the series. Thank you for caring about her Christian. 💜
She looks more like J Lo as Selena, than the real Selena. So funny.
I said that exact thing when the first trailer released several months ago
Who cares? It’s not like it’s an easy task to find someone who can act and be an “accurate” look alike?
I think her face is more similar to selena than jlo’s
Thats exactly what I thought!!!!
You be talking about she looks more like J lo, umm her face looks more like Selena’s than J lo. I mean it would be a different story for you all if she had a big butt, and broader body. J lo looks nothing like Selena other than the tush...
At the end of the day- there is only ONE Selena! We all know that.. I think she did a good job of portraying Selena’s spirit- like she said. 💜
People who are hating on her need to watch this. She's such a lovely person.
I met her on set. She was lovely. Friendly, and totally ready to work. Confident and focused, but also not just in her own zone enough to deflect other people around her. I believe we became friends in that very moment.
Not everything is personal, people just might not feel she looks the part but that has nothing to do with her as a person...
Same thing happen with the actress that plays wonder woman. People were so sceptical about her doing that rol because she looked different from previous actrices and at the end everyone loves her...
@@marcobenavides16 💯 agree, but I caution people to remember that she (and all other actors) are people. It may not "be personal" to those typing out the words, but for those at whom the words are directed, they can be very personal. Just hoping the world can become a little kinder and considerate.
That’s doesn’t change the fact her acting and role for this was terrible
Aww, she’s so sweet! She deserves to be praised for her hard work and dedication to the Selena project!
Some people act like they knew Selena personally lol I think this woman did great 😀
exactly !! lmao
Selena is the only artist, when I hear her name, I have to play her music. It’s like, an impulse.
*I’m always pleasantly surprised by her popularity outside of CCTX, where she and I both grew up.
Viva Selena
Ha! Same here. About to do it now.
yess
i know we shouldn’t link them but its wild how sometimes the way she speaks sounds just like young j lo!
YES
FOR REAL idk why so many people were mad about her performance her and j lo both did amazing
Mexican American! Selena was born in the United States. That is what made her so special. She was proud of both her Mexican and American identities and that is why so many people in Mexico and the United States can relate to her.. She was so much more than just being "Mexican."
She says Mexican-American! Not every time she brings it up but for example, she says it at 7:40
She’s such a sweet girl. Such a beautiful woman. I’m glad she played Selena. I can’t wait to see the Selena Netflix series ❤️❤️
U can’t expect for her to act like Selena as herself in an interview, that makes no sense. I’m excited for the series and all the things we don’t know about Selena to be brought to life❤️❤️ I’m gonna keep an open mind even though I don’t think she looks like Selena but neither did Jlo .
No one will ever replace Selena or portray her perfectly, not even JLo. But Christian was the right choice. She was committed to this role a thousand percent. And the way she brought Selena’s spirit to life was incredible, she really did hit the nail on the head with that.
I'm really proud of her! I think she did a good job representing Selena. Obviously wasn't going to be exactly like Selena. No one will ever be. But you can tell she respects the role but even more she respects Selena. ♥️♥️
The lip synching was horrible.. and I have to say the wigs were worse 😫
You don't even notice the lip synching unless that's all you're focused on instead of the story being told, the wigs were meh
the lipsynching isn’t bad but the wigs are terrible-
She's not a singer.
RIGHTTT
How’s she is in, there if they, ugly AB says, they was doing casting on someone able to sing and act, how she gets, elected 🙄, we all ready got enough with, j- lo,
What a lovely, intelligent, and thoughtful woman. I am looking forward to her acting as Selena. You can tell she took this seriously and recognized that this was a rare, personal opportunity. I am happy the role went to her.
oh wow i am so glad the family has given there approval means so much and being involved with a hands on approach is an accurate picture she was and still is an icon i love her humble energy in her interviews.so beautiful her god given voice is so very important to so many of us. gone to soon but will never ever be forgotten Selena lives on forever.
Great video. Christain seems loving and humble towards Selena and herself glad she embraces her Mexican roots like Selena did.
Christian did a good job, scratch that- great job everything else as far as lip syncing goes was maybe on the editors part. Christian is a true professional I dig her performance. The story line is amazing and the transitioning from child to adult is on point. They’re telling you the story of Selena and y’all are only worried about her lip syncing and body movements being off. Y’all focus on one wrong and forget about the other things they made right.
good for Christian on getting this role. Its been interesting watching her career blossom little by little since her days on Nickelodeon
Duh! Cause' no way anyone.could ever come close to.Selena's talent and raw power of her voice.
Selena was the greatest..no one compares..I did like J-Lo though.
I’m on episode 8 rn. It looks decent. The actors are doing pretty decent portrayals. I feel like since I loved the Selena movie I was holding it to a high standard. I’m gonna keep watching it tho when part 2 comes out
Im so nervous for this show bruh...
Why would you be nervous for a show, Chile ..
I've read the reviews....so far...it's not looking good
@@boy-re8ii fuuck, but I thought it came out on the 4th
@@alexisb9250 it is. But the media and critics got to see it this past weekend and a lot of the reviews are saying that the series doesn't give Selena a voice and instead predominantly features Abraham and A.B as the spotlight.
It's disappointing to me considering the fact that I've been waiting to watch it since last year...and I don't even have Netflix! I hope part 2 is better if the reviews are right about part 1
@@boy-re8ii thats so annoying, let's hope season 2 is better
“Fans” expected to see Jlo’s Selena. That’s what many “fans” and I repeat “” believe Selena was. And as She said they are trying to show the Selena people have just ignored for years.
At first i was disappointed too. But now i really enjoy the series.
Not everyone, I’m from Texas n I have family and friends that have always loved that Selena from when she was starting, she was famous here. I also was born in Monterrey so she was their goddess over there. We r happy to c this Selena from the 80s, we r happy to c more of the story of Pete Astudillo cus he was essential to los dinos n he was a big deal, he had a solo career and is a song writer to A LOT of Mexican singers, still. I was disappointed that both Pete and Chris didn’t look at all like the real ones, but if u get past that, it’s a good story. The movie was rushed, in the movie it pretty much shows that Selena’s dad forgave her and Chris the day after they eloped, in reality Selena leaves with Chris for about 2 yrs and Abraham manages/produces Pete during that time alongside some of the Dinos.
how are they trying to show a side of selena we've never seen before, when the main character isn't even selena, selena got way less lines than her dad and her brother lmaooo ppl mad cause we barely even got to see selena! come correct
@@3otterlover well, Selena’s story includes her Dad making all business decisions and her brother producing and writing the songs. So...
@@Mateocarvajal the show never captured her desires, her interests, her struggles with her identity with the pressures of her father, we never know what she's thinking, yes her father and her dad played a big role but nobody wants to hear hear their story, that can be included it doesn't have to drown out her story. If they wanted to show us her dad and her brother's story don't call the story Selena, call it life of the Quintanilla's. I assure you people didn't tune in for Abraham's life, for suzette's life we tuned in for Selena's life, and they knew that and took advantage to show their story
Christian bravo on your performance! This series deserves many awards
Selena undeniably had IT 🌟and in her interviews she came across soo present, heart on her sleeve, and a total goof ball. Larger than life smiles, big, warm energy. The actress seemed distant and too cold 🥶 or mysterious and not at all goofy 🙃 in Selena’s lovable ways.
Selena was an introvert...she portrayed an extrovert..but she was a shy person that just liked to relax at home...her stage persona wasn't the real her
@@amandaboyens7948 thanks. That reminds me of an INFJ personality type. They are the most extrovert of the introverts and they seem to have very sweet hearts 🥰♥️
I think it is good to use Selena's voice because it is to still recognize that she was an amazing singer and to still honor her and keep her memory alive.
I think everyone needs to watch this before watching the season #respect
she’s so so amazing. everyone is very hard on her because selena was an icon but she did very good.
As far as Christian goes, i adored her in Twilight and in walking dead but this role, Selena the series.. She will be huge!! She truly deserves this...
She did awesome job as a Selena.😍 She is very inspirational! Thank you!
I love the new Selena series , all the actors did a great job.
When she said she wants the whole world to know “besitos”
My heart went 💕🥺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Like fr fr besitos is sooooooo underrated. 🥺🥺
It honestly is the best song, it’s so underrated 😭💕
I’m very curious to how this series will turn out as they are using Selena’s real musical voice in the series. Hopefully there will be a soundtrack sold like as for the movie. Also Selena was Mexican American, third generation from TX , her grandparents were from northern Mexico. She was forced to go into Mexican music as this was and is what they played in bailes etc. Her dad knew this is how they would get a foot into popularity then crossover. Selena wanted to sing pop , country etc in English, I believe she would had made it in English either way because no one else has that voice of hers . Because honored and blessed she stuck to her roots. She had to learn Spanish after singing in Spanish fanatically. Just saying.
Yea that’s so true, she was always so hesitant to sing in english (which i dont blame her) but a huge part of me wants to believe that she had genuine love for mexican music :( regardless she still represents mexicans to me! Or at least mexican americans lolol
I LOVED! The series. It was amazing. Despite the look alike or who you wanted to play Selena everyone did an amazing job and by far looked like the real people ! I respect you for respecting her ! You did an amazing job! Thank you for honoring her in the best way❤️
I'M EXCITED!!! 💜🌹🎤
I love that she got to sing just a little bit.
Selena is by far my Favorite artist & I feel Christian did an amazing job! Stop comparing her to J.Lo it was different types. J.Lo played a more glammed Selena.
With Christan we get to see the short hair, all the dye jobs. all the looks of her style & how it grew. If you don't like the show then stop watching.
"I'd love to keep telling Mexican stories." Thank you. We are so easy to vilify. Case in point this current admin. Or when people say, "why don't you act American?" We do, but we can't forget the thousands of years of culture and heritage that is inculcated into us, like our food or Dia de Muertos. Superficially, it is easy to misrepresent; but scratch deeper, and you will see that its our culture's veneration to life, family, human bonds, and love. These too are Mexican stories. Please keep telling them, tell more, because there is plenty to pick from. Our roots run deep, in this land and continent.
Can anyone sing like Selena?? So why would we want any actress to attempt imitate her singing.
because if,she trying, she needs to shing , it’s why Selena’s family was asking someone able to sing, y don’t know why,she do lip singing 🤷🏻♀️
Because if you don’t have the rights to the music, then the actress has to sing, they have no choice. She literally said that.
I think she has some of the same sweetness, determination, and beautiful stubbornness that Selena had.
For people saying she doesn’t look like Selena just remember that sister is one of the producers and she even told people they want someone who act the role not appearance
Well she couldn't act so. Double whammy
no need to be rude, she did amazing. if you have nothing nice to say dont open your mouth
Very interesting interview. I totally enjoyed the Selena series. It's my favorite.
I never watched her in TWD, but I loved her in Selena. She did a great job!
She didn’t even lip sync good sorry
I watched all the episodes of the Selena's series that's on netflix. I think it's bad. She wasn't good for the roll. She did bad. She doesn't even look like Selena. Not even a little bit. She's skinner than Selena. The people that played the parents, the brother, the sister, & the husband. Didn't even look a little like them. The wigs they wore in the netflix series look bad. Her lips singing is bad. The green screen looks stupid. I don't like how the netfilx series made it like it wasn't about Selena's legacy & her death. It was about Abraham how he came up with the band, & how he managed the band from when they were kids till Senela died. The 1997 Selena movie is better. Jennifer Lopez played Selena very well. The parents, the brother, the sister, Selena's husband look kind of like them. The movie didn't use a stupid green. The 1997 did a good job at portraying Selena's legacy, Selena Chris's love story & Selena's death well. Jennifer Lopez did a very good job at doing the roll of Selena. At least the people who played the parent, the brother, the sister, & Selena's husband looked like them a little bit. I can watch the movie so many time & not get bored of it. Every time I watch the movie I cry.
@@Scarlettxp1989 nice very lengthy and very detailed feedback. You are a true fan. I have a framed Selena people magazine of the Selena edition.
I think she did a good job.. people will always be hard on her, because Selena was so iconic... Just like everyone hated Jennifer back then too ... Christian looks more like Selena than Jennifer did
She doesn’t look like her, dance like her, give, smile like her or give me the same vibes whatsoever. I don’t mean to hate but I just feel they could have done better to contribute something more deserving of her legacy.
Right!!! She messed up in some parts smh
I think that any actor or actress playing a SUPERSTAR should be lip-synching who in the heck wants to here them?
I can't wait to watch it 🥰
My 6 year has loved and sang along with Selena since she was 3 just like me. Selena will live on forever.
She should've buffed up for the role of Salinas.
Selena
@@darkgable85 its Salinas if you watched the original movie!
@@illimattic i did... But she is known as Selena so...
@@darkgable85 no shit. Sherlock.
@@illimattic so are you big mad now 😆
The show was great. The family helped write down their journey. It’s a side a lot of people didn’t know of and as fans of Selena it’s great to be able to have that story now. She did a great job regardless of what everyone says. And as Suzette said.. people had bad reactions to Jlo being Selena too so 🤷🏽♀️
before seeing this interview i refused watching the series, but i loved how she talked about Selena makes me want to watch it now
You should watch it.
So far she did an amazing job! I knew from watching TWD she reminded me of Selena.
Perfect interview
Remember... he’s interviewing Christian Serrato not Selena. She’s obviously not in character so why compare her to Selena in this interview?
Edgar Foster ikr
People are too hard on her, she did great!
NOBODY is going to look like Selena, she looked absolutely breathtaking stunning naturally BEAUTIFUL in my opinion. I am 27 and this series gave me ALL the questions and so much more my little girl watching the first Selena. She should be so proud 👏👏👏👏💅🙏
GREAT JOB MIJA!! YOU REPRESENTED our culture and the American battle every Latina and minority has faced!!
Anything for Selenaaaaaaas ♡
Unrelated; the dad actor is one of the most incredible latino men who CARRIED and got paid SO MUCH LESS in Desperate Housewives back in the day. I'm so proud to see him finally showcase his talent. He played 'Carlos Eva Longorias husband.
This was genuinely a good show! Bravo
As a Selena fan, truly disappointed. Didn't expect her to sing, but the lip syncing was terrible. Selena was known for her passionate music and her passion translated to her performances. She would even smudge the microphone with her red lipstick. This actress did NOT convey that one bit. Her performance was very flat. Again, very disappointing. I was really wanting to like this series.
I agree with everything you said but in the como la flor scene I think I did see the red lipstick. But everything else you said was on point. She didn’t play the role well.
I agree 💯. I actually quit watching because the series didn't do Selena justice at all. The acting was mediocre at best and the lip syncing was second hand embarrassment. Coming from her family I expected a tip top series!
You just gooo guurl!! Im so excited to see this series .. And other people have commented this already but shes so humble and appreciative to play this role its awesome !!! Thats some serious heels to fill ...im so proud of u christina!!!
I thought she did Great can't wait for next series love her also on TWD
Do not direct your disappointment in the series to Christian - direct it to the writers/creators who let Part 1 of this series down. I felt Christian did amazing embodying the Selena spirit (as confirmed by this interview, her performance came from an honest place!) but she literally wasn't given much to work with for the first 6.5 episodes! How is the show named Selena yet most of Part 1 was about the father and brother! Poor poor story management from the creators of the show. I hope things will be better in Part 2 and Christian's work will really get to shine!
people always hate so sad thats wy the word is so screwed up people are mean and evil she did a great job
Seems like they found someone that looks like Jennifer Lopez rather than someone that looked more like selena.
Cause there will only be ONE Selena👍🏽
I’m so happy for her! She and the rest of the other cast and crew did such an amazing job!
Ughhhhh her and Selena are so beautiful
this show should have been called the Quintanillas. The show is literally about her dad and brother. They made Selena seem like this dull person with no personality..Its a shame they used her image and icon to tell a story about themselves.
I thought so too but they definitely are a big part of her story
I agree! I get that it was a family effort to see the Selena we all know BUT they failed to actually tell it from her perspective - we saw the development of her brother AB as an artist but what about the evolution of Selena as an artist, Part 1 didn't get into that at all which was really disappointing.
Rosita is how i remember christian she did good on selena 💖😁
wow I really respect her, hopefully she will also become huge after Selena the Series, it is so unfair that only JLO became huge after SELENA movie. I can see that she has worked really hard to do her best. Ofc no one will ever look or be like SELENA because she will always be a queen! 💜
They also shoot in Tecate Baja California at the main plaza Parque Benito Juarez. She did really good job. 🙌🏼
What a great interview. She is so well spoken and seems very passionate and dedicated to this role. Regardless of how the show turns out, we should appreciate the story. Selena was iconic and so missed. I’m looking forward to the show and her portrayal of this Icon
Thank you for saying that! She shouldn’t be blamed for the writing and storytelling of the show. She put in a lot of hard work. I think she’s going to do a good job.
She’s beautiful and did great. No one will ever be Selena
Why not??? The original Selena sang those songs. I consider it respectful
She's an amazing person loved the interview ❤
Well I’m glad she realizes all the pressure she is under to get this right. We don’t play about Selena especially being from Texas. That’s why when she was like I was killing myself over this role in my head I was like “as you should.” LOL this is definitely one of those projects where there is ZERO room for error. All I’m saying is her Texas accent and Dancing better be ON POINT!!!!
@Undead Officer 😂 why would I send her death threats. You definitely read my comment wrong.
Ok I like her even more than I have for the past 16 years after this interview.
i just finished part 1. i really liked it and i know some people don’t like it but i would give it a 7 or 8/10 for the first part. i didn’t know they lip synced but it can be better
It doesn’t matter if the casting was off or the lip syncing was off. The series is about getting her amazing story out and how she didn’t just get that instant fame but she went through all the things she had gone through to get where she was. Also stop putting hate out there please they are trying there best especially with COVID and it’s awesome how they portrayed her especially with her real sister and dad working on this series telling them true stories then putting it out there for her fans throughout the present generation as well as future generations to see. Selena is amazing and we miss her and it doesn’t matter how or who is playing her, it’s about her story getting out and the fact that we are getting to know this amazing soul better. We loved her🥺💙💙
She did an incredible job!!! Loved the series
SHE DID SO WELL!
The family part is a great example of principles and values! Bravo 🙌 and Chris said he got a confession, great 👍
