Is it real, or is it J-Lo? Both, as it turns out. There are 55 minutes of the actual Selena here, filmed live at Houston's Astrodome in 1995. The 23-year-old Tejano singer performs her light, catchy tunes all in Spanish, save for a '70s disco medley (which includes, poignantly, "I Will Survive"); polished and charismatic, if not extraordinarily talented, Selena was clearly on the way up before her death at 23 at the hands of an employee. That she was later portrayed onscreen by Jennifer Lopez, who has eclipsed Selena's stardom by far, no doubt partly explains the inclusion on the DVD of a 45-minute documentary (truthfully, more like a lengthy puff piece for Entertainment Tonight) about the Selena biopic. If you want to know how the filmmakers made those tough decisions about hair, clothes, and lip-syncing, you will not be disappointed. But the real thing's better. --Sam Graham

Enjoyed This Much More Than I Ever Expected December 24, 2008
I never expected to enjoy this concert as much as I did. This is a very high energy concert with Selena dancing and singing for around 50 minutes. She never stops moving for the entire concert and it is never boring. I was worried when she came out singing in English at the start, but the remainder of the songs after the first medley are in Spanish. I don't know much Spanish, but her singing is the best in Spanish, even though she does very well in English too. Anyone who likes good popular music should enjoy this concert. The DVD also has a nice feature that is quite interesting on the making of the movie about Selena's life. I have seen the movie and it wasn't overly impressive, but this feature shows how much effort went into that movie and how much they tried to keep it as authentic as possible. A really nice bonus would have been to include the movie too, make it a 2-volume set or even a 3-volume by including the CD soundtrack of the concert. In any case, this DVD is a must for Selena fans, but would easily be enjoyed by those who have never heard of Selena. Very well filmed too for a live concert.
HUGE SELENA FAN July 9, 2008
This is my favorite dvd in my collection I am a huge selena fan. I love this concert. This dvd deserves an A+++++++. Selena is the best. You must buy this.
cool extra features June 2, 2008
Although I love the live concert, my favorite part of this DVD is the extra features that show the making of the movie Selena.
 Not perfect in production but the Tejano queen's last concert... May 14, 2008
and one of her best. I bought a t-shirt
of her in Houston back in '99 when I was
there to cover a Thunderbears Ar.FL game.
Rest in peace, princess!
J LO NO - SELENA ONLY!!!!! October 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Selena Quintanilla is the ONLY person to watch if you want to know who she was and what she was all about. J Lo may have tried, but if you are a die-hard Selena fan, no one will EVER suffice to represent Selena on film or stage. The loss of this talented entertainer was felt hard and deep for a long, long time. Selena was one-of-a kind!
In this tape, you will see a young professional, charismatic, talented, sincere and gifted entertainer in Selena Quintanilla. She connected with the 40,000 fans who came out to see this young woman who could stir you with a cumbia or dazzle you with her outfits and that smile!!!! Buy this tape and experience the only Selena, not an imitator like J-Lo. J Lo could never personify this woman!!!!
