Selena Quintanilla Perez Born April 16, 1971 Died March 31, 1995 was a Mexican-American singer who is regarded as one of the biggest stars of Tejano genre of music.She died at the age of 23.I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of her or is a fan of her music or just listens to her music?

Here are a few Selena sites yamakd.tripod.com/id29.htmwww.ondanet.com/tejano/selena.htmlselena.gq.nu/selinfo.htmlwww.angelfire.com/ia/selena3/bio.htmlwww.alwaysselena.org/selena/www.angelfire.com/nc/mrstexasselena/www.infoplease.com/ipa/a0886852.htmlwww.celebrity-link.com/c16/showcelebrity_categoryid-1602htmlyeah that's right she did die 10 years ago. Just before 11:50 am in room 158 of the Days Inn motel in Corpus Christi,Texas she was shot once in the back and bullet struck her below the right shoulder blade slasing through a major artery she managed to make her way down to the Lobby of Days Inn in Corpus Christi, TX, before collapsing and being rushed to the hospital she managed to tell who shot her which was the president of her fan club 34 year old Yolanda Saldivar Selena died in a local hospital at 1:05 pm hours after she was shot.Selena went there to fire Yolanda Saldivar who manged Selena's Boutique and founder of the Selena Fan Club. A few day's before the confrontation Selena's Father had unearthed paperwork proving that Saldivar had been embezzling from the fan club. Saldivar and Selena had an argument over the embezzlement and as the singer was left she was shot in the back. Selena did not die right away she managed to stagger to the lobby of Days Inn Corpus Christi where she named Saldivar as the killer.Selena was born in Lake Jackson Texas and grew up in Corpus Christi Texas where she began her music career.Abraham Quintanilla Jr. was a singer of the original Los Dinos from 1957-1972 and nurtured the musical talent of his children. Selena her brother Abe lll or Abraham lll or A.B for short (bass) and their sister Suzette (drums) were the second generation of Los Dinos.It's other two members who started the band were Ricky Vela on keyboards and Roger Garcia on guitar.Selena made her first public appearance at her father's Mexican restaurant in Lake Jackson at eight and recored her first record at nine.She finished high school by mail and lived most of her life on the tour bus ''Big Bertha''.She completed her education by via correspondence courses.Chris Perez replaced Roger Garcia as guitar player.A romance budded between Perez and Selena and they married on April 2,1992. Even as Selena's career skyrocketed she remained very close to her family choosing to live next door to them in Corpus Christi. in 1994 she won a Grammy for best Mexican-American Album for Live.The most startling aspect of Selena's musical career is that she became a star singing in her second language.Her first language was English not Spanish.In October of 1995 a Houston jury convicted Saldivar of murder and sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole.There is a museum to honor Selena's memory and a bronze life- sized statue of her on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi.In 1997 Jennifer Lopez played Selena in a movie of the same name.the movie is the basis from which Lopez rose to superstardom,while at the same time it also served to introduce Selena and her music to an even wider audience. P.S I will try to find more Selena sites.

She died when I was 7, but she was too young to be on my Mom's favourie oldies station, so I've never actually heard any of her songs, BUT I have heard of her. How? There's a picture of one of her CDs, amongst others, on the inside coverof my Beachboys CD

About my new site which is a Selena site it is going to take a while most likely a long time before it gets up on it's feet because there are millions of Selena site's maybe even thousands maybe even more and I want to try to make it different from the other Selena sites as much as possible.
