One of the things that show how adored she was is the fact that the Astrodome scene in the movie with Jennifer López was made entirely with fans. No extras were hired for this. Everyone just wanted to honor her memory...
WOW
@@ArabManReactsmy father was in movie when they did astrodome scene and that scene in movie was actually in San antonio TX in Alamodome
@@brianbernal9470I was in the scene where Selena (jlo) travels to Mexico and falls off the stage. I didn't like it at all that woman was very rude to some Selena fans
@@mirabellahendersonwhat woman
Missed?!!!! YOUR MOUTH!!!!!! THAT'S ONE THING I DON'T MISS!!!!!
She was in the process of making her English debut album before she was taken away from us. What could've been.
She would’ve been bigger than jlo. Everything about Selena was beautiful.
I agree 💯 with you she was on her way to becoming bigger than Gloria Estefan and JLO is where she is, because of Selena 's movie
She does a disco medley on this concert amazing. Our one and only queen forever will forever live. We are still mourning her death we can't let her go 😢😢
Yep, just can't....don't want to
our idol por siempre 🖤👑 La Reina.
We will never let her go. From San Antonio.
My absolute favorite lol

By all means continue!
There will never be another Selena, she was a beautiful human being with a generous heart . ❤️
Selena Played the Astrodome as the headliner Feb.26 1995, and she broke all previous attendance records, playing a sold-out show to nearly 69.000 people.
We had the honor of attending this, what would be, her final concert. It was for the Houston rodeo and the record for the highest attendance was broken that night. She was a beautiful light that was extinguished WAY TO SOON. I like to think that she would be as big as Beyoncé, Adele, Taylor, etc… if she had lived. She was working on a full English language crossover album which is funny because English was her first language. She had to learn Spanish to be able to sing the songs she did. You should react to the opening of this concert, as they are all disco songs she grew up with. Love your reactions!!!! Stay well ❤❤❤
I got the chills reading this. The things I would do to have been able to see Selena. I remember when my dad played her for the first time in 1992 and I've been obsessed ever since. All hail La Reina
Not even trying to bash Beyoncé and them but she most definitely would’ve been bigger than them. She was already at if not past their level just at 23 she would’ve probably reached close to MJ(not in performing but fame and achievements) levels if she wasn’t taken from us.
Well said ❤️ I grew up with her music but didn’t appreciate it until I was older. I grew in the neighbor that she had her clothing boutique (in San Antonio). Everytime I passed the place, I thought of her and wondered where she would’ve been 😢 love her and her natural beauty (inside and out)
Her actual final concert was in Chicago at the Concord.
Correction Chicago amphitheater.
Selena was a beautiful breath of fresh air!! She hales from our area in Texas. I have met her father and sister multiple times and he even give us a tour of the studio. He still operates the museum in corpus to keep her memory alive. They are beautiful people and gift to their community. What a tragedy that she lost her life so early she was such a wonderful role model to young Latinas.
Selena - Always beautiful and stayed humble throughout her career. She continues to be a favorite. We call her La Reina, Our Queen ❤️🎵
Selena was set for superstorm she was just crossing into the English market & she was going to be a mega MEGA Star! IMO we have yet to see an artist with the fame she was going to have. Selena is Selena & she’s in her own lane, not Shakira, not Jlo, nor Beyoncé. Another great reaction is La Carcacha! Live!
I love Selena ! I was 14 when she passed away. I cried like a baby.
At the end, she was thanking the audience, those from Texas and those who came over from Mexico to see her. She told them to give themselves a round of applause and then hugs and kisses from her to every one of them. She was very appreciative of her fans. While she loved her fans in the US, I think she was even more appreciative of her Mexican fans because when she started her career, she wasn't fluent in Spanish and there was concern that she wouldn't be accepted because she wasn't from Mexico herself AND because she was a woman (there were very few successful female artists in this style of music at the time and she opened doors for so many after her).
She is an icon and thank you so much Arabe Guapo!! Btw, you should watch her in her video singing-No Me Queda Mas. And oh a little info, she was actually buried in that purple outfit and that was I believe her last concert. 😪❤🕊
Nooooo 😭
She was not buried in this outfit 🙄 she was buried in another purple iconic jumpsuit, not this one though.
@@ArabManReacts No, she actually was not buried in that outfit from that iconic performance. She was buried in one of her favorite outfits that she never performed in but she wore it to the TMA award show. It was purple and it had a purple puffy jacket
Welcome to Selena's world ❤
My daughters loved the movie so much that when I was pregnant with my last daughter they picked Selena as her middle name. I love her music it still brings tears.
Thank you Arab for the genuine and humble reaction. The Latin community is still hurting over her death! She was the meaning of representation! Thanks again!
She was a true performer not only she could sing but also knew how to take the stage and Dominate, control and made the audience engage, and that’s make a true performer, who nowadays do that,,None that I know of at this time
The part where she waves always makes me sad and happy at the same time. 😢 She was super beautiful and talented! RIP
Ahhhh, I'm crying!!! You definitely have to do more Selena😭😭😭
A curious fact is that Michael Jackson was her role model, and when she was younger she went to his show there in the Astrodome and she dreamed of becoming a huge star and having her own show there, and she did it before passing.
Her story is simply heartbreaking. Her life was taken away when she was only 23 by this disgusting lady (who's being released in 2025). She was so talented and beautiful. She would have become the greatest Latina artist of all time.
It's really sad how she was saying goodbye, when she says "Mil abrazos y mil besotes a cada uno de ustedes. Cuídense muchísimo y nos vemos muy pronto", which means "A thousand hugs and thousand kisses to each one of you. Take care of yourselves and see you soon": there was no see you soon! 😭
Gone, but never forgotten. Rest in peace Queen!
P.S: There was a part when she says "Cumbia". That's a Latino musical genre, which is basically the genre of the song she's singing.
Love Selena forever, great reaction Arab Man 👍👍
SELENA wouldnt hurt a fly she had a bubbly personality , laughed all the time, and her favorite singers were Janet Jackson, Madonna and Paula Abdul
So many years later and it still makes me want to cry the injustice of it all, she will forever be loved
What a sweet girl she was💜 please keep reacting to her she still is the biggest icon ✌🏽🇻🇪
This concert set the record for largest crowd in the history of the Astrodome to that date. The record she broke was her own from the year before. Impressive, but the most impressive thing to me is that she was a pioneer at 23. her english language album release ended up being massive, here, across latin america and in canada. "i could fall in love" ended up being the first english language song to top the spanish language charts and to this day you can hear her played on radio stations and in clubs all over. being from the desert southwest, i can tell you when bidi bidi bom bom or amor prohibido or como la flor come on, the dance floor will still go wild and people sing along. she is one of those rare people that you can see from home videos, candid interactions with local media, fans, etc, she was exactly what she appeared to be. she knew how to laugh, not take herself too seriously, she could joke and be funny. she was never full of herself. if she had been allowed to live to 40 or 50, i think she would have been as big as names she has been compared to like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
Happy Birthday, Our Queen Selena! Watching this warms my heart! Thank you! New sub.
No Me Queda Más is the song that gets me every time I hear it. I recommend that.
But ugh Selena ❤ RIP
Sometimes I watch this performance and am filled with joy at watching her, and love seeing her alive and happy and let the song and music take over. Sometimes I watch it and am suddenly gutted and crying the whole time almost in sobs at knowing what was coming, and even though I still enjoy the music and performance, it's almost like seeing her say goodbye, which she wasn't able to do. Basically I lose the whole night being sad all over again at the world having lost her.
No puedo! De verdad que jamás voy a superar su muerte 😢 es un ángel! Su sonrisa es mágica 😊
I love watching a Selena fan be born! Thanks for the reaction it was hilarious and well done.
Where I live, I still see people wearing her Tshirts. She was very loved and her talent is still very missed. RIP Queen of Tejano
Así es si Selena Quintanilla viviera fuera tan famosa en todo el mundo, era una gran cantante, con una voz excepcional 🙏 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🎶👏🌹👍...
Woo so happy you reacted to this ! Now did you watch the movie ? If so - how did you like it ?!
I watching it tonight!
@@ArabManReacts let’s see a video about what you thought of the movie!!
@@ArabManReacts Yes, please do a video reaction about what you thought of the movie, her life, her legacy.
I loved Selena i saw her preform twice she gave us goosebumps! Her dancing, charisma, command of the stage was off the charts, and the voice. She was a beautiful representation of my culture. The beautiful romantic of the Spanish language to cumbias ranchers y boleros. It still hurts.
.
That microphone is in his museum in Texas with the same paint as the red lipstick from that night. RIP Selena the queen forever
Selena always makes me smile when I see her videos on CZcams. She was such a lovely lady with an incredible talent.
Mil gracias por reaccionar a tan maravillosa cantante... un Icono que jamás morirá, mientras haya personas que la recordemos. Gracias
Loved Selena !! Such a great artist ❤❤❤ . She will always be missed.
i write this today April 16th, just finding out about this fact about it being Selena day. how awesome it is to have a day in memory of her to her keep her legacy alive.
Selena’s fans are waiting for Yolanda’s release date like no other. The vengeance is real, still after so much time. That woman must be terrified.
It's not a woman, it's an it....a monster and it may or may not be released. Not likely though, it remains in denial of the reality of the deed.
Anytime me and my parents are in the same car going anywhere we always play Selena bc she is an artist we all enjoy and love. Can never get tired of her voice.
You just watched the closing of Selena's last ever performance. Next you must do the opening of this concert, the disco medley is natural, pure, candid. It's a real gem.
It was the last televised performance...she performed in Bryan TX after this.
Aww crap... I always get choked up at the end 😭💔🌹
Yup. You want to keep her in that moment, in that stadium. Safe. 😢
J. LO does an amazing job as Selena - even her Father Abraham praised her performance. And her brother, A.B. wrote this song, along with other songs. Yes, watch the movie, it's very well done.
She was so wonderful, may she rest in peace 💔💔💔 Thank you!
Enjoyed the reaction and your loopnies RIP Selena 🙏 🌹 ❤
Cumbia is a danceable Caribean rythm from Colombia, although, every LATAM country has now theiir own version of a cumbia, being the one Selena did a Mexican cumbia. This song is an example of a slow cumbia.
I hope you can react to a Colombian cumbia like "La Cadenita", "No te metas con mi cucu", "Que bello", "Soruyo", "Mi Bombon".
I just finished watching the series. I was born in 88 but heard her when the movie was made...each time I listen to her music it hurts so bad because she was more real and each girl or woman could see a part of herself in her and she just made you feel like anything is possible...her love with Chris is what any girl could hope for ❤
This was her last concert before her death I believe…and Lopez does her complete justice in Selena.
She was and still is a party must.
I honestly can watch this concert with out crying 😢 La Reyna is missed❤
Please react to more songs of this concert 🙏
I enjoyed your reactions a lot. You are funny 😄
After JLO made the movie, she felt so comfortable onstage and inspired by Selena that she began her music and fashion career(s) only really being a supporting actress up to that point in her early career.
I love you reactions!!!
I hpoyou still have so more reactions to Mexican culture,really I love and whish you one day can learn spanish than you can go to my country México 🇲🇽 We love every body but specialy People like you.
So welcome to México.
I wishhhhhhhhh
Love to you from beirut ❤️
To know Selena is to love Selena. Even from afar. The same with Vicente and Juan Gabriel. They were special.
She broke the record of attendance at that dome with 67,997 fans breaking her previous two records in 1994 with I think 61,097 and 1993 with 57,000. Can only imagine if she could've performed in 1996 after the release of her English album.
It would be great if you react to famous people praising her and stating how she was an influence for them, like Beyonce for instance.
Look up the size of the Astrodome here in Houston. It's freakin huge!!
Please watch her whole concert live at the Astrodome ❤
Me encantan tus reacciones..cuando sonríes…bueno yo solo veo reacciones a cantantes mexicanos..gracias!!❤
She is an icon she is a legend and she is the moment..
Thank you friend for reacting to Selena la Reyna, she had everything, beauty, charisma, she danced incredible, talent and above all she had humility. React to Selena Quintanilla Disco Medley live astrodome please 😀🫶. Thank you
She was telling them that they broke the record for how many people attended and then saying thank you to her brothers and sisters in Mexico and she was giving them hugs and kisses and that she will see them real soon, this was her last concert before she was killed
My dad plays Tejano music and has since I was very young, so I was familiar with Selena before she passed and it's such a strange experience listening to her music today. It's joyful because of her voice, presence and beauty but I also tear up sometimes thinking of what she could have still given to the world. My favorite of her's is No Me Queda Mas, for sure!
You got to see the movie, or react to disco medley. She was SO HUGE. I would Love to know her for first time again. Greetings from Argentina. We all grow up dancing and singing her music from far away..
Love your reactions! Thank you!!
Yes, It Is so sad that she's gone, very sad!!
She was so big!!😢
She was so humble and innocent mentally, so it was hard for her to accept that someone she loved, Yolanda, she couldn’t see the danger of going alone. Childhood friend here. Loved her and family!
Thanks for remembering our Queen
That was a lies back then. I wasn't even aware of Selena until she passed. I was too young to ever recognize at that time the 90% of the music being played by my family members around me where her songs. When I saw the movie and knew the words to almost every song she sang, even as a young boy I couldn't hold back the tears. She wasn't just famous, there was more about her. The people looked up to her like an angel floating overhead. As big as she was, she was just starting to get popular. If she was still alive today if she would have been known as one of the greatest singers to have ever lived, even though she already was back then.
Selena says "Now. I want to dedicate this next song to you guys because you all made this our first big hit for us here in the U.S. and Mexico. I hope you all remember this song!" And at the end she says "Houston, TX! Shout out to all the brothers from Mexico! We want to thank you guys for making tonight possible because we broke the record attendance. So give yourselves a great big round of applause! Big hugs and kisses to each and everyone of you all! Take care! Until next time! Ciao! Good night! Thank you!
And don't forget that Selena is American. She has mexican ancestors, but was born in Corpus Christi, TX. She didn't speak spanish when he was a teenager. She learned it so she could enter the hispanic market in southern US and México. And her songs in spanish were BEAUTIFUL.
The thing is this was the last song od an hour+ long concert (singing & dancing) with zero breaks. Not even for water. And there was no ear pieces so shes singing on beat in that massive dome just by her band behind her and knowing her music. She was AMAZING. Mexicans/Mexican Americans/Texans have such a special place in our hearts for her and her legacy
You must check Selena - Disco Medley
Nuestra Reina, our queen, she was OF the people. She will never die in our hearts here in Texas. I live 30 mins from where she was raised in Corpus Christi. The baddest, hardest mexican vato will take his girl to the dance floor when her songs come on. No matter what. I dont think a true Texan can get through her Astrodome performance without choking up. Theres some concerta where she would have a line of men come up and dance a couple steps with her. She was ours and she was from us.
La gran Selena Quintanilla. 👍👏👏👏👏
You have to react to her disco medley!! She was and still is one of the best artist ❤️
Her brother used to write her lyrics. Isn´t it odd that she is so remembered for this song that says I´m leaving now, and oh how it hurts. What a way to say goodbye.
Take a look at her disco medley nice la quiero❤
Love Selena! I'm so sad her life was cut short. If you haven't already please react to her singing her Disco Medley, "La Carcacha" and "Techno Cumbia"--all from the same concert in the Astrodome.
Such a talented beauty. Love/d her music. Especially this song.
Many of us can’t ever live down her death. It’s just so sad, what an immense loss to the World of Latin music. There’s no telling the magnitude of what her impact would have been. She will be Eternally missed. RIP to our Latin queen 💔
Selena Quintanilla Pérez, will always be the Queen of Tex Mex!! 🖤
You need to hear all her songs…..they are all amazing
11:30 "A thousand hugs and kisses to each of you" is what she's saying ❤love Selena
One of the best reactions of our queen Selena ❤ Thank you!
She was unique. So humble, talented, pretty and very charismatic. Her concerts were out of this world, just her singing and dancing enjoying herself, no special effects, no back up dancers, no
auto tune or in ears, just her and her music ❤❤❤
It's amazing that you understood the monumental impact losing Selena had on not only the latin community but the music industry at large from just ONE performance. I completely agree with you, the music scene would have been vastly different had Selena been able to crossover and grow into her English sound. (But not just the music industry as she was dipping her toes into acting roles, as well. She had a small role in a Spanish soap opera and a small role in the movie Don Juan DeMarco which stars Johnny Depp, Marlon Brando, and Faye Dunaway.)
Great reaction video. Selena is the best. We miss her a lot. Please react to more of her videos 😢❤
On of the best reactions to this performance. 💯 Thank you for this. 👍
If you watch that whole concert, she doesn't even drink any water. 100% pure performing & she's so comfortable, she looks like a young girl dancing in her bedroom, that genuine fun she expresses is so natural. 💜
Just to start:
Si Una Vez
No Me Queda Mas
Que Creias
Donde Quiera Que Estes
God's Child
Is it the Beat?
Como extraño a selena, dejo un legado increíble no puedo imaginar hasta donde podía llegar su talento y carisma, no tenía techo.
Facts about this concert:
This was the last time Selena ever sang. When she says goodbye here on this video she is saying goodbye forever.
She was killed 33 days later. After this night she recorded songs in English which became number 1 after her death.
This concert set a record with 70,000 people that night. The most in the history of the Astrodome, in Houston Texas.

Amazing Selena ❤
thank you for reacting to our Selena will always be the girl of our hearts my daughter is named Selena in honor of her
Great reaction. You are right about her being so real. Just her. If you notice at the beginning when she waves to the camera, she has a bandaid in her fingertip.
11:40 that’s right it was her last song ever 🥺 that concert was on Feb 26 1995 month before her death
😢
I very much appreciated seeing her through your eyes. Beautiful fresh honest reaction to how lovely & talented she was. Thank you!
