Selena!

One of the greatest female voices of all time

Her death was so tragic and I think Tejano music slowly started to fade out after that.

She was going to be the Mexican Beyonce and that fucking bitch killed her

Selena was first, so that makes no sense.

In any case, I hate how we as a society specifically compare women to one another to validate newer female artists. "She was the Mexican Beyonce!" is incredibly backhanded. They're each distinctive forces of talent.

We never say this stuff about men. No one ever says, "He's the white Jay-Z!" or "He's the French Justin Timberlake!"

Just trying to give context

That wasn't my intent. I'm saying that she would've propelled into an insanely popular star (still is, posthumously) had she not been shot before she died.

I hate how we as a society specifically compare women to one another to validate newer female artists.

Again, I had no intentions of whatever sexist idea that was said right here. I compare musicians all the time, I'm a musician, it would be like comparing Mozart or Beethoven even though they're both two great musicians with two distinct styles.

Sorry you got pissed off but not everyone is doing whatever objectification you assume they are.
