That situation with Puffy,pdiddy,sean combs or whatever you want to call him is what helped people pay attention to her,then she did a lot of songs with rappers,black artist to get urban radio and it gradually went from there.She's not that talented when it comes to music or acting but I believe she worked her way to where she is,which is what you're supposed to do.The media talks more about her relationships than what movie or music she's doing,again thanks to you know who.
All of that talk about Spanish this or that is just fluff because no one knew who Selena was on a mainstream level outside of people from her culture and her country and it wasn't her music that made the mainstream media pay her attention,it was the story behind her death that made everyone else take notice.That movie probably sold better when it was a dvd than it did at the theaters in certain regions,California,Texas it probably did well.I know who she is and I can't tell you one damn song she's done but I know her story,which was terrible.She's not going to get burn like the Biggie movie or NWA,La Bamba movie from the 80's,I know Richie,I know his song,that's as far as it goes.
