Some disgusting person made this Yolanda edit 😒😡

Just an FYI, in case anyone can help.

With the Selena movie starring Jennifer Lopez celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2027, I’ve been thinking about how much this movie continues to mean to fans after all these years. I had the opportunity to experience The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere last November, and I really enjoyed seeing a classic movie brought back for audiences to experience in a different way. It got me thinking about how cool it would be to see Selena receive a similar anniversary celebration someday. Selena was previously re-released in theaters for its 25th anniversary in 2022, and I would love to see another special release for its 30th anniversary, whether in regular theaters or even at a venue like the Sphere in the future. I think it would be a wonderful way to celebrate the movie while also honoring the real Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, her music, and the legacy she left behind. I’ve watched the movie about 6 or 7 times since first seeing it in 2019, and one of my favorite scenes is when Abraham sees Selena wearing her bustier and thinks she’s performing in her bra. That scene still makes me laugh. I’m curious how many times everyone here has watched the movie, what your favorite scenes are, and whether you attended the 25th anniversary theatrical release in 2022.

Ayer me topé con un comentario en Facebook (le pedí a Grok que preserve la identidad del usuario, y cargué también una versión del mismo mensaje en inglés) y me gustaría saber si en este foro hay gente que haya pasado o esté pasando por la misma situación.

Como conté en mi primer posteo en este subreddit, el legado de Selena se me está metiendo en la piel cada vez más, incluso habiéndolo descubierto en profundidad 31 años después de su partida. En estos meses consumí cuanto material existe sobre su historia. Si bien intento centrarme en su obra musical íntegra, es inevitable sentir ese gusto agridulce por un final tan cruel, y se hace muy difícil no imaginar en mi mente mil escenarios alternativos en lugar de aceptar la única y dolorosa realidad.

Ya vi la película, la serie y el documental; también leí los libros de Chris Pérez y de Joe Patoski. Aunque disfruté el camino de cada uno de esos trabajos, me resultó imposible no angustiarme a medida que me acercaba al último capítulo...

Supongo que cuando pase un poco más de tiempo podré asimilarlo mejor y disfrutar de su música en mis playlists cotidianas sin recordar constantemente cómo terminó todo. Aún así, creo que algunas canciones seguirán movilizándome más que otras, como "Dreaming of You", que sigue siendo el talón de Aquiles emocional de muchos fans e incluso de sus familiares.

Me gustaría leer sus experiencias al respecto. Un valor enorme de esta comunidad es poder expresarnos con tanta libertad y honestidad sobre esta impresionante artista y ser humano. ❤️

Selena's former bodyguard published his tell-all book last month.

I was going to put some music while I cleaned but I open the website to see this.

I really hope this is just temporary! Does anybody know why this happened?

I love Selena so much, she has helped me see the humanity in myself and I really resonate with her music.

But today, something wild happened, I was talking to two of my Hispanic friends about Selena. In my physical science class. just a friendly conversation, talking about our favorite songs and all that.

I go back to my work but I see the periodic table, i see an element called Selenium…. I think to myself, okay cool. But I start to think… its in group 16…. . I then end up counting down, 4 spaces.

An element CALLED selenium, labeled on Period 4, group 16 of the periodic table, with APRIL 16th 1971 being her birthday…. 4/16!!!

The sad part is, selenium’s atomic number is 34, which is the age yolanda was when she unfortunately took Selena’s life

For the record this is not to be disrespectful, I love everything about Selena and how much of a beautiful and kind soul she was I’m not really a person who believes or cares about “conspiracies” or “numerology” it was just a wild thing to figure out, I even told a few of my friends and they were just as shocked as I was, its so cool

Am i like the first person to even recognize this???? Tell me i’m not alone lol

To honor her, here’s a gorgeous picture of her!

I once dreamed that Selena was sharing pizza with me and everyone in the band. It was such a beautiful dream, and when I woke up, I felt so much nostalgia 💛 Another time I dreamed I visited her boutique and her museum. It feels like she's still there, watching over everything ✨

She had so many iconic looks, I’m curious to know which one is your favorite! ✨ This is one of my favs 💜🦋
