Not just look, but also be her in every way. We are all unique, we are all one of a kind. We will never find an exact copy of Selena, there will always only be one Selena, that’s why it’s so devastating we lost her. Majority of people complaining can’t even dance or sing in tune.
@@tan89284 that’s soo true.There’ll nvr b another Selena.Besides that somewhere I had seen Suzette was interested in Chris when he first started out with the family but Chris was more interested in Selena lol that is the reason Suzette ratted her out to her dad bcz she saw Selena n Chris flirting with each other lol such chemistry the 2 had so that probably burnt Suzette’s hopes of being with Chris.O well, that’s the past now but Selena’s memory lives on n the fact she married him is still a beautiful soul waiting for him when his time on earth is done n join her.That’s jus my belief on that with those 2 ❤️🌹🙏🏽🇨🇦
I agree. I think she did a great job embodying her personality and her smile. I don't think anyone can dance and move like her, but she did pretty good. I enjoyed the whole series and cant wait for the next.
Christian did a great job and she really seems to care about what she’s doing and wanting to get it right. Unfortunately some people just care about the looks instead of Selena’s story being told. Sad.
Everyone things it’s a lookalike contest. So glad they went with talent instead. Christian has been doing an amazing job with her portrayal. I wish ppl wouldn’t be so cruel. They’re literally spreading hate and death threats. The opposite of what Selena believed in
It’s not about how she looks, she didn’t portray her style at all. Also the series if you look at it, is more of a mini series of the early life of Suzette not Selena, you see more of the sister and that’s not who I wanted to see. It’s pretty disappointing.
If you ever see the real videos of her singing this song to “ex novio” fans it will give you chills. You’d think she really did get hurt cheated and heartbroken. Selena sang with so much heart I was so excited for this scene.
at first i was like amm i don't think she fit this role but it's growing on me and i think Selena would be so proud of Jennifer and Christian playing her in the movie and in the series
I don’t understand the people nitpicking the show because of the wigs, or because Christian doesn’t look exactly like Selena. The whole point of the series was to learn more about her actual story and what it was like for her as she rose to stardom, the family said so themselves. I think the series accomplished that.
They just thought that the wigs weren’t put on properly and It’s important when Your playing a beautiful role such as Selena Plus It looked less like they were interpreting a character and more like they were just playing dress up
@@gushernandez25 Again you did not know her personally so your comparing to the movie which was an in accurate portrayal from the beginning. The movie was full of scenes that were embellished and didn’t happen at all in real life. She definitely captured Selena’s loving and endearing spirit and personality.
@@TheJamesRoosevelt I am talking about her essence, she DID NOT CAPTURE it at all. It felt like we were looking at a side character or someone who had nothing to do with her stardom. I watched the movie years ago. I have youtube to look at the actual Selena now.
I never knew or heard of Selena until this tv series. I’m not from America. Where I’m from, especially in the 90s, the music scene was mainly Eurodance. Selena’s music is very different to what I’m used to. I feel like I missed out on something special. I wish I knew about Selena in the 90s, but in the 90s information didn’t travel that fast and we didn’t get to know everything that was happening around the world, the internet wasn’t that advanced back then, neither was the media. Thanks to Netflix, an international platform for most countries in the world to watch tv series and movies today, more people will know who Selena is now. However, whatever your opinion is of this tv show, I am thankful for it, because without it I wouldn’t be YouTubing and googling real videos and information about the real Selena and then watching the 1997 movie for the past 7 days. I am obsessed, a new fan.
This show is disappointing to actual Selena fans, If you liked this great value version of Selena then you should definitely watch the movie , they did an actual amazing job of her
Okay we all feel like we know Selena but only her family actually knew her so they have every right to choose someone they think will BEST bring Selena to life. So they choose someone you don’t agree with but we have no right to say anything just saying.
People were saying the same shit back in 1997 with JLO. That JLO doesn't look like Selena. I honestly thought that Christian looks more like Selena than JLO.
Well said, I think she does great as Selena but when It comes to actually acting there are moments where she’s off on lip syncing, and her dancing is way too stiff, other than that she does really good
seriously! everybody talking like they can perfectly embody Selena. It is not easy, it takes vulnerability and hard work which Christian has given 100%
This was for sure one of her best scenes!! I really felt the inner Selena come out for this scene with that little move she did and everything it was fantastic
THIS, THIS is the scene that I show people when they say she didn’t act like Selena. I’m always like , she did it better than anyone else !! I remember watching Selena as a kid and seeing her perform like this, from the picking someone out of the crowd to the sitting down part. THIS is Selena !! Hats off to Christian Serratos , she did an amazing job !
@@rayray88161 She did act like her and this scene is near perfect. What is she suppose to do transform into her and become her in real life? She’s an actress it’s a show. People are so unrealistic it’s ashame that they can’t enjoy the show for what it is. A powerful story and a beautiful legacy.

The fact that Christian doesn't look exactly like Selena isn't the problem with the series. It's the sloppy writing, and the way they portrayed Selena as this one-dimensional character.

I honestly got more insight into who Selena really was with Chris Pérez's book.
@Moby Pancake apparently the family had little to do with the casting or storyline and then didn’t even train the actress Playing Selena like they did jlo that’s why jlo smashed the role she didn’t look like her yet she captured her spirit and persona perfectly this actress didn’t at all
@Moby Pancake no i research and it said the didn’t even get to pick her they just approved they didn’t even train her like they did jlo that’s why in my opinion she didn’t portray Selena authentic
Yes, maybe because of deep down internal feelings. I'm sure she loved her sister but I remember seeing interviews where they would accidentally confuse Suzzette for a guy because she played the drums. As a young girl maybe it was hurtful to always see her shine. She had the control in who played her sister so who knows why she chose this woman. I'm in my 40s so I remember vividly that she never looked happy and actually looked hidden with all the big equipment. She might have also struggled with a lot of insecurities. If she ever felt jealousy growing up I feel bad for her because that doesn't mean she didn't love Selena. Ultimately, never having the opportunity to work that out. Just my opinion respects if I'm mistaken.
They all shined this season to me. We all know Season 2 is going to focus more on Selena and a Chris and the fashion line. We will get all the movie content and stuff that people are complaining about wanting to see next Season.
Y'all obviously weren't a fan of Selena. Don't even know simple facts like not knowing Spanish, so what if this actress doesn't speak fluent Spanish?! Selena didn't either but she killed it! Hello! Also, she did amazing playing her! She is an AMAZING actress and portrayed Selena's CHARACTER very well. Selena didn't have an identical twin so no one else is going to look like her! Y'all are so damn negative. Get off your high horse.
The acting was really great from the whole cast. I recognized the dad (abraham) from desperate housewives so i knew it was gonna be good. Selena (christian) nailed her role. Season 1 really drew out their families struggles. It sucks having to wait until season 2 for the ending but i'll try to be patient!
honestly I went into this series hating it and not enjoying it very much HOWEVER when this scene was done.... I quickly fell in love with Christian and the series!! She absolutely killed this role!!! Especially this scene!
@Rebecca Cruz Very well stated, I watched the entire Part 1 and found it to be well made and Christian has done a great job, she does capture Selena's personality and humor, people have to remember this was Selena at 16-17 who changed her looks nearly every day which drove her sister nuts, Part 2 will show Selena rising to super stardom, wish people would stop the complaining and enjoy it.
Christian did a fantastic job in this role. If you don’t agree, then there’s lot of things I don’t think you’re considering. This is not an easy role for sure and there are millions who hold Selena in their hearts so naturally, who ever would’ve been casted would be critiqued immensely. But Christian pulled it off. She’s an actress, not a Selena look alike, but I was never distracted by her image cause I know this is a fictional portrayal.
Thank u for this comment bc it makes me so frustrated that ppl are only focusing on how she doesn’t look like Selena and not focusing on how well she played this role
Thank you! Everyone keeps comparing her to Jlo and not looking like Selena smh. It’s annoying. Christian has done an amazing job at embodying Selena as a person and mastered her mannerisms. So excited for next season!
I feel like people that are saying she wasn’t good is because part 1 showed a side of Selena that most people are not aware of. So therefore only the true fans could have input. Most people that are talking crap are not true Selena fans, they probably only seen the movie and only know her English songs. I’m sure Selena wouldn’t want her fans acting so hateful and ignorant. When part 2 comes I know people will actually enjoy Christians portrayal because that’s the era of Selena that most people are aware of,
Nope. I've been a fan of Selena since the 90s. I've seen many interviews and concerts. This actress did not do Selena justice. I'm very aware of her 80s haircuts and past. Still this series was horrible.
@@sassygirl4728 Your a damn lie. As an OG fan that actually followed the ban and have met the real Selena twice she gave this role justice. Saying it’s horrible is spitting in the families face and on her legacy. This show gave us so much to work with and so much inspiration how could you ignore that for your own selfish reasons. The whole point is to introduce her family struggle and subsequent success and prosperity to the world. The show accomplished that. Some flaws? Yea but what doesn’t have flaws???
@@esgeeye I’m probably her most hardcore fan and the series did tell us things we didn’t know. Southern Pearl and all that early stuff was not widely advertised or public knowledge. There were several Easter Eggs that the show gave us hardcore fans. You can’t even say what’s the show did or didn’t do because it’s not even HALFWAY over...y’all do understand that right? There are literally more episodes left then the 9 we have seen so far. There are 11 EPISODES left which is plenty of time for the show to cover what y’all are “missing”...it just wasn’t in season 1....Oh well 😐. Why not Season 1!?!? Because the first season was not suppose to highlight the legend and icon Selena because at that age she wasn’t legendary or iconic yet this was her building blocks to that level which will be shown in season 2. Now, if Season 2 doesn’t give then I can see y’all complaining but I mean damn let the show finish releasing first. 🙄😎
JLO also had plenty, & I mean PLENTY of people saying she wasn’t enough to play as Selena. But at the end she was loved. Props to Christian for stepping up to the plate to play the Legendary Selena, you go girl 🤍🖤 !
@@esgeeye okay so when they get an actual Mexican to play as Selena people still mad ? That just clarifies my statement. Not everyone is going to be happy, because at the end of the day nobody will ever be able to live up to play Selena and satisfy the “fans” .
@@esgeeye you brought up “because she was Puerto Rican” -.- so I countered that. & you literally just agreed with what I said -.-. Christian could’ve done better . But I am giving her props for actually having the guts to portray Selena. I feel like you just don’t bother on reading . Either way bye 🤦♀️
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. Please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
Christian did such an absolute PERFECT job playing Selena. She looks so similar to her it's crazy. I'm still on season 2, but I'm in love with this show and now like Selena's music. 😁😁
Loving these behind the scenes look from the show. I thought Christian was AMAZING in this scene....at the time I watched it, had to rewind it multiple times. So so good!
Christian did this part so well, I was so impressed. she studied this performance to the T! This is one of my favorite selena performances too!!! I’m a huge selena fan and agree she doesn’t look like her but I’m thankful she is bringing her to life again on screen and sharing with a new generation our beautiful Selena’s legacy, selena deserves that always, we love and miss you selena! And Thank you Christian 💜💜💜
I actually liked her as Selena. She wasn't as energetic as Selena herself lol but she gave depth to the emotional scenes especially in season 2. She was really good with the performances.
Thank you! I've been saying no one will ever be Selena she was one of a kind and no one could live up to her. With that being said it's not about finding her twin but keeping her legacy and story alive and that's what's people aren't getting
Having an actress who looks like Selena was the least of my concerns. The show tried to show us who Selena was as a person and the failed. Selena was a humble, passionate and FUNNY, Selena was a complex woman.The actress had no charisma and stage presence. Why make a show about an icon and not show any of those things. It would have been nice to see that Selena too had struggles with her self and the complexities of being a Latina pop icon . Instead it was a pedestrian depiction of Selena and her family.
I couldn’t agree more! Sure her family was involved in this process, but the dialogue lacked depth and Selena’s charm, charisma, humor, and humility do not shine through. My boyfriend watched it with me and he didn’t know anything about her or her life really and at one point he goes, “wow, she was really conceited, wasn’t she?” I said NO, that’s not how she was at all!! It doesn’t just fall on the actress, it’s also the writers and the stories they chose to tell and how they told them.
What the hell show were you watching??? They literally covered everything you said and they didn’t even have to in Part 1 the show isn’t even half over yet. Just hold your horses 🐴
Love it , Miss Serratos nailed this scene and nailed the character role. Indeed once again was watching Selena perform 'Que Creias " all the acting feelings , emotions , energy Serratos became Selena in all aspects . Until now the only actress that gave Selena energy, happiness, joy, youth spirit, character, personality, attitude Miss Serratos focus on Selena persona and she became Selena persona unlike other actresses that only focus in obtaining Selena body while miss Serratos went for much more worth values that Selena had She went into another level ..She focus to obtain Selena spirit , attitude, character/persona because up until today Selena persona and spirit still lives while her body now only exist in our memory and pictures😢 have to say it , like it or not but as A Selena fan Miss Serratos your the best Selena Quintanilla Pérez , can't wait for the 2nd season
I wish I could like this twice lol. Say it louder for the people in the back! Her performance was amazing. So happy she captured Selena’s personality and mannerisms flawlessly. Jlo had amazing stage presence as Selena but Christian gave it this authentic feel. So excited for part two!
Thank you. I honestly don't think that JLO looked like Selena or talked like her. I remember first watching the movie Selena back in 1997 and thinking to myself JLO doesn't look at all like Selena or dance like her.
@@rubiopicazojoseph I remember as a child loving the movie. But as I aged and became more educated on Selena and watched more of her interviews and performances I realized Jlos portrayal of her was entirely wrong. Rewatching the movie all I see is Jlo today. I’m glad the series can give us a less Hollywood version of Selena
That's what my son and I said...this series is more down to earth, not HOLLYWOOD style. Christian gave an excellent performance, I got goosebumps, rewatching this scene, because Christian capture Selena's inside passion to sing from the heart. Ms. Serratos🌹
She did such an amazing job!! She's so funny... Her acting was AMAZING! She was cute and funny and reminded me of Selena because that's how she was. She's beautiful just like Selena
I think Christian did amazing as Selena! It's not about looking 100% like her- because nobody will. it's about embodying her charisma, her soul, her talent, her story- and sharing the story from a point of view that nobody has seen before. The younger generations are just now learning about Selena and the older ones are learning new facts about her. Like Suzette said in an interview - they couldn't tell the whole story in a 2 hour movie. The series focuses on the family & the behind the scenes of some of the greatest performances and songs. The series has a ignited a new passion for Selena's music. I. have been listening to her songs for the past few weeks and it's amazing to know how her spirit still loves on through her wonderful works of art. We love you Selena and thank you for this beautiful cast and crew for this show.
Admittedly, I pretty much only know songs by Selena that are in the 1997 movie. This song was new to me when I watched Selena: The Series. Powerful scene and song and singing. Beautiful and amazing and cool and funny. It's become one of my top favorite songs by Selena.
I was so excited for this seen of her and it’s my favorite song from Selena she sang with so much passion and sang from her heart like Selena their won’t be but she did well in this role
Listen, the Netflix series is a CASUAL version of who and what Selena is. This is clearly meant for the casual viewers. If you watch Selena’s performances and interviews, it’s literally day and night that the Netflix series is a poor and white-washed impersonation of Selena. Christian is a good person and a solid actor, but she doesn’t match or relate to Selena in any shape or form whether by speaking skills, dancing, performing, singing, personality, or energy. With that being said, the Selena series is a decent watch but highly forgettable and barely memorable or breaking any barriers. All this series will do is simply spread the name “Selena” without actually taking a genuine dive of her artistry and impact of her as a human being, an artist, or as a role model. The truth is, Selena is one of the rare and few talented and inspirational Hispanic (specifically Mexican) artists who have left a legacy. It’s sad that Netflix missed the marked to capitalize that and truly show the viewers who Selena Quintanilla was. This entire series so far can easily fit in one cheesy Netflix movie.
No can ever duplicate Selena. In one way or another they will always fall short. Selena was a once in a lifetime performer. People have to stop holding these actresses to the same standards they hold Selena in because they'll continually be let down. The story telling is really good in this series in my opinion.
This was one of my favorite scenes. Christian did so great! You see criticism but come on! She had the guts to say yes to play this role!! She did fantastic!!! She is a beautiful strong woman just like Selena. ❤️
Thank you Netflix for this special Easter egg in the show. This song is so damn good with so much feeling. She should’ve used more angry gestures. Like grabbing his shirt. She did that though with the bowing to the guy. But she should’ve introduced him as her ex novio at the end, not the beginning.
julio is so funny 🤣🤣. amor probhido, que creias, como la flor, baila esta cumbia, no me queda mas and bidi bidi bom bom are my favorite songs from Selena
It's really not the actress's looks but her energy (and in this scene her connection w/ the audience and man) that seem off in her portrayal . *for all those comments: I'm not saying it isn't hard or I could do it better :P
My only problem, is this was not done in the middle of a baseball field. Texans from the 80-90s will remember that baseball game where the dude was terrified of her.
I have no idea why they picked her I guess she’s a good actor but she looks nothing like Selena BUT I must admit I think it’s a very good series Qué Creías was one of my favorite parts in the series so far
Like Selena’s sister said their will be no one who looks like Selena cause you can’t look like someone. She did a great job
Facts I loved her portrayal of Selena💜👑💯

Thank you!!
So true!
@Moby Pancake apparently the family had little to do with the casting or storyline and then didn’t even train the actress Playing Selena like they did jlo that’s why jlo smashed the role she didn’t look like her yet she captured her spirit and persona perfectly this actress didn’t at all
@Moby Pancake no i research and it said the didn’t even get to pick her they just approved they didn’t even train her like they did jlo that’s why in my opinion she didn’t portray Selena authentic
Omg!! Literally got chills in this scene, she did Selena justice and I’m sure she was smiling from above 😁
I watched the series and I think Suzette shined more than Selena’s portrayal.
Yup I agree!!
Yes, maybe because of deep down internal feelings. I'm sure she loved her sister but I remember seeing interviews where they would accidentally confuse Suzzette for a guy because she played the drums. As a young girl maybe it was hurtful to always see her shine. She had the control in who played her sister so who knows why she chose this woman. I'm in my 40s so I remember vividly that she never looked happy and actually looked hidden with all the big equipment. She might have also struggled with a lot of insecurities. If she ever felt jealousy growing up I feel bad for her because that doesn't mean she didn't love Selena. Ultimately, never having the opportunity to work that out. Just my opinion respects if I'm mistaken.
i think AB shined a lot too
They all shined this season to me. We all know Season 2 is going to focus more on Selena and a Chris and the fashion line. We will get all the movie content and stuff that people are complaining about wanting to see next Season.
Not me. Christian is perfect and did perfect.
Y'all obviously weren't a fan of Selena. Don't even know simple facts like not knowing Spanish, so what if this actress doesn't speak fluent Spanish?! Selena didn't either but she killed it! Hello! Also, she did amazing playing her! She is an AMAZING actress and portrayed Selena's CHARACTER very well. Selena didn't have an identical twin so no one else is going to look like her! Y'all are so damn negative. Get off your high horse.
Periodt.
Facts 💯
Exactly
I'm with y'all she is a damm good Actress and you're right the Family pick the perfect person to play Selena.
i loved the actress personally.
The acting was really great from the whole cast. I recognized the dad (abraham) from desperate housewives so i knew it was gonna be good. Selena (christian) nailed her role. Season 1 really drew out their families struggles. It sucks having to wait until season 2 for the ending but i'll try to be patient!
when I found out it was Carlos from Desperate housewives, I FREAKED out! He was so good in this role.
I knew him as Bruce from Jane the Virgin and was mind blown when I realized it was him
honestly I went into this series hating it and not enjoying it very much HOWEVER when this scene was done.... I quickly fell in love with Christian and the series!! She absolutely killed this role!!! Especially this scene!
Christian is really talented and for me her portrayal brought her to life. Not much that I can criticize.
She did great, people are so judge mental. It’s not easy to portray energy like this. She did great. And the guy who plays AB is so handsome
@Rebecca Cruz Very well stated, I watched the entire Part 1 and found it to be well made and Christian has done a great job, she does capture Selena's personality and humor, people have to remember this was Selena at 16-17 who changed her looks nearly every day which drove her sister nuts, Part 2 will show Selena rising to super stardom, wish people would stop the complaining and enjoy it.
YASSSSS CHRISTIANNNNN!!!!! this totally just made me cry!!
Same!!! This is my fave Selena song and getting to see it in the love with her iconic bow. I can’t even lol
The best concert of séries Que creias💜
THIS has to be my new MOST FAVORITE Christian Serratos moment!! And believe me I watch her with bated breath on TWD. AAAIIIEE!! ( MY BEST GRITO)
Hi
It’s funny how every song it’s a favorite song of hers, lol
I mean aye Selena had really Good songs
@@emilycastillo7024 I agree. But I’m going by what Christian keeps saying about every song.
She said it’s one of her favorites
Christian did a fantastic job in this role. If you don’t agree, then there’s lot of things I don’t think you’re considering. This is not an easy role for sure and there are millions who hold Selena in their hearts so naturally, who ever would’ve been casted would be critiqued immensely. But Christian pulled it off. She’s an actress, not a Selena look alike, but I was never distracted by her image cause I know this is a fictional portrayal.
Thank u for this comment bc it makes me so frustrated that ppl are only focusing on how she doesn’t look like Selena and not focusing on how well she played this role
Thank you! Everyone keeps comparing her to Jlo and not looking like Selena smh. It’s annoying. Christian has done an amazing job at embodying Selena as a person and mastered her mannerisms. So excited for next season!
But she didnt pull it off lol
@@RowdyUpInHere doesnt matter
@@esgeeye well hey, that’s like your opinion man
Its amazing watching her prepare before hand and also while she arrives on set! Loved it!
They both weren’t the best at speaking Spanish but they tried and that’s really all that counts.
I need that lipstick
When I was little my mom would play her song during parties and I still remember it back then
I feel like people that are saying she wasn’t good is because part 1 showed a side of Selena that most people are not aware of. So therefore only the true fans could have input. Most people that are talking crap are not true Selena fans, they probably only seen the movie and only know her English songs. I’m sure Selena wouldn’t want her fans acting so hateful and ignorant. When part 2 comes I know people will actually enjoy Christians portrayal because that’s the era of Selena that most people are aware of,
Nope. I've been a fan of Selena since the 90s. I've seen many interviews and concerts. This actress did not do Selena justice. I'm very aware of her 80s haircuts and past. Still this series was horrible.
@@sassygirl4728 Your a damn lie. As an OG fan that actually followed the ban and have met the real Selena twice she gave this role justice. Saying it’s horrible is spitting in the families face and on her legacy. This show gave us so much to work with and so much inspiration how could you ignore that for your own selfish reasons. The whole point is to introduce her family struggle and subsequent success and prosperity to the world. The show accomplished that. Some flaws? Yea but what doesn’t have flaws???
@@esgeeye I’m probably her most hardcore fan and the series did tell us things we didn’t know. Southern Pearl and all that early stuff was not widely advertised or public knowledge. There were several Easter Eggs that the show gave us hardcore fans. You can’t even say what’s the show did or didn’t do because it’s not even HALFWAY over...y’all do understand that right? There are literally more episodes left then the 9 we have seen so far. There are 11 EPISODES left which is plenty of time for the show to cover what y’all are “missing”...it just wasn’t in season 1....Oh well 😐. Why not Season 1!?!? Because the first season was not suppose to highlight the legend and icon Selena because at that age she wasn’t legendary or iconic yet this was her building blocks to that level which will be shown in season 2. Now, if Season 2 doesn’t give then I can see y’all complaining but I mean damn let the show finish releasing first. 🙄😎
JLO also had plenty, & I mean PLENTY of people saying she wasn’t enough to play as Selena. But at the end she was loved. Props to Christian for stepping up to the plate to play the Legendary Selena, you go girl 🤍🖤 !
@@esgeeye okay so when they get an actual Mexican to play as Selena people still mad ? That just clarifies my statement. Not everyone is going to be happy, because at the end of the day nobody will ever be able to live up to play Selena and satisfy the “fans” .
@@esgeeye you brought up “because she was Puerto Rican” -.- so I countered that. & you literally just agreed with what I said -.-. Christian could’ve done better . But I am giving her props for actually having the guts to portray Selena. I feel like you just don’t bother on reading . Either way bye 🤦♀️
Christian did such AN AMAZING JOB!!! THANK YOU CHRISTIAN!!
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures
If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. Please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
Hallelujah amen 🙏🏽
- unrelated
Amen
Amen
Huh
GREAT JOB a different View of Her life its just makes you Closer to SELENA
Christian did such an absolute PERFECT job playing Selena. She looks so similar to her it's crazy. I'm still on season 2, but I'm in love with this show and now like Selena's music. 😁😁
Loving these behind the scenes look from the show. I thought Christian was AMAZING in this scene....at the time I watched it, had to rewind it multiple times. So so good!
Most actors don't look like the actual people they're supposed to be portraying, it's about bringing the personality, the essence of the character.
Christian did this part so well, I was so impressed. she studied this performance to the T! This is one of my favorite selena performances too!!! I’m a huge selena fan and agree she doesn’t look like her but I’m thankful she is bringing her to life again on screen and sharing with a new generation our beautiful Selena’s legacy, selena deserves that always, we love and miss you selena! And Thank you Christian 💜💜💜
Damn , she really did a great job 😭💜
I actually liked her as Selena. She wasn't as energetic as Selena herself lol but she gave depth to the emotional scenes especially in season 2. She was really good with the performances.
She did amazing ❤️ the representation was so pure
Oh shit she did the gangster lean!!! 👏🏽 👏🏽 she killed it !!!
THIS PART IS MY FAVORITE. Idk why it’s just so good.
I can’t even imagine watching this series and not cringing the whole time.
@htownlithium LET'S SEE YOURS PUTA! LOL People have a right to not like this CRAP ass show.
Look FOR THIS WOMAN ANAIS GARMENDIA BENÍTEZ SHE IS THE TWIN OF SELENA
@htownlithium you’re too sweet.😘♥️♥️
I cried so much
@htownlithium lmao keep it coming please. 😂
it’s lot about how she looks it’s about Selena’s story but only true fans would know that
Thank you! I've been saying no one will ever be Selena she was one of a kind and no one could live up to her. With that being said it's not about finding her twin but keeping her legacy and story alive and that's what's people aren't getting
@@esgeeye hm I do see your point. I guess you'd really just have to look her real videos which there are a ton on UA-cam and see for yourself.
Having an actress who looks like Selena was the least of my concerns. The show tried to show us who Selena was as a person and the failed. Selena was a humble, passionate and FUNNY, Selena was a complex woman.The actress had no charisma and stage presence. Why make a show about an icon and not show any of those things. It would have been nice to see that Selena too had struggles with her self and the complexities of being a Latina pop icon . Instead it was a pedestrian depiction of Selena and her family.
Her family took part in producing this show so I’m sure whatever was decided to be portrayed about Selena so far was also up to them
I couldn’t agree more! Sure her family was involved in this process, but the dialogue lacked depth and Selena’s charm, charisma, humor, and humility do not shine through. My boyfriend watched it with me and he didn’t know anything about her or her life really and at one point he goes, “wow, she was really conceited, wasn’t she?” I said NO, that’s not how she was at all!! It doesn’t just fall on the actress, it’s also the writers and the stories they chose to tell and how they told them.
They did....they showed all of that...but also this is only PART 1
What the hell show were you watching??? They literally covered everything you said and they didn’t even have to in Part 1 the show isn’t even half over yet. Just hold your horses 🐴
Exactly!
Love it , Miss Serratos nailed this scene and nailed the character role. Indeed once again was watching Selena perform 'Que Creias " all the acting feelings , emotions , energy Serratos became Selena in all aspects .
Until now the only actress that gave Selena energy, happiness, joy, youth spirit, character, personality, attitude
Miss Serratos focus on Selena persona and she became Selena persona unlike other actresses that only focus in obtaining Selena body while miss Serratos went for much more worth values that Selena had
She went into another level ..She focus to obtain Selena spirit , attitude, character/persona because up until today Selena persona and spirit still lives while her body now only exist in our memory and pictures😢 have to say it , like it or not but as A Selena fan
Miss Serratos your the best Selena Quintanilla Pérez , can't wait for the 2nd season
I wish I could like this twice lol. Say it louder for the people in the back! Her performance was amazing. So happy she captured Selena’s personality and mannerisms flawlessly. Jlo had amazing stage presence as Selena but Christian gave it this authentic feel. So excited for part two!
Thank you. I honestly don't think that JLO looked like Selena or talked like her. I remember first watching the movie Selena back in 1997 and thinking to myself JLO doesn't look at all like Selena or dance like her.
@@rubiopicazojoseph I remember as a child loving the movie. But as I aged and became more educated on Selena and watched more of her interviews and performances I realized Jlos portrayal of her was entirely wrong. Rewatching the movie all I see is Jlo today. I’m glad the series can give us a less Hollywood version of Selena
Well said!
That's what my son and I said...this series is more down to earth, not HOLLYWOOD style. Christian gave an excellent performance, I got goosebumps, rewatching this scene, because Christian capture Selena's inside passion to sing from the heart. Ms. Serratos🌹
Selena had that energy and oozed confidence, this actress seemed mousey and quiet like her portrayal as Angela Webber in Twilight.
The absolute best scene ever and she nailed it ! 😭😭 I cried
She did such an amazing job!! She's so funny... Her acting was AMAZING! She was cute and funny and reminded me of Selena because that's how she was. She's beautiful just like Selena
Personally I believe this was her best interpretation as Selena
Agreed. This was the scene that made me believe in the role the most.
I think Christian did amazing as Selena! It's not about looking 100% like her- because nobody will. it's about embodying her charisma, her soul, her talent, her story- and sharing the story from a point of view that nobody has seen before. The younger generations are just now learning about Selena and the older ones are learning new facts about her. Like Suzette said in an interview - they couldn't tell the whole story in a 2 hour movie. The series focuses on the family & the behind the scenes of some of the greatest performances and songs. The series has a ignited a new passion for Selena's music. I. have been listening to her songs for the past few weeks and it's amazing to know how her spirit still loves on through her wonderful works of art. We love you Selena and thank you for this beautiful cast and crew for this show.
I really loved this scene!!! So good Christian...so good!!! *round of applause*
One of my favorite scenes in the series.
Admittedly, I pretty much only know songs by Selena that are in the 1997 movie. This song was new to me when I watched Selena: The Series. Powerful scene and song and singing. Beautiful and amazing and cool and funny. It's become one of my top favorite songs by Selena.
Christian did a awesome job I loved the series
Amazing job girl 🤙🏼🌙🥰♥️
Mi escena favorita, pensé que no se iba a agachar y cuando se agachó casi lloré, lo amé 😍🤣 GANGSTA!
LOVE THIS SONG. This cast did a great job. Can't wait for the second part.
I was so excited for this seen of her and it’s my favorite song from Selena she sang with so much passion and sang from her heart like Selena their won’t be but she did well in this role
Listen, the Netflix series is a CASUAL version of who and what Selena is. This is clearly meant for the casual viewers. If you watch Selena’s performances and interviews, it’s literally day and night that the Netflix series is a poor and white-washed impersonation of Selena. Christian is a good person and a solid actor, but she doesn’t match or relate to Selena in any shape or form whether by speaking skills, dancing, performing, singing, personality, or energy. With that being said, the Selena series is a decent watch but highly forgettable and barely memorable or breaking any barriers. All this series will do is simply spread the name “Selena” without actually taking a genuine dive of her artistry and impact of her as a human being, an artist, or as a role model. The truth is, Selena is one of the rare and few talented and inspirational Hispanic (specifically Mexican) artists who have left a legacy. It’s sad that Netflix missed the marked to capitalize that and truly show the viewers who Selena Quintanilla was. This entire series so far can easily fit in one cheesy Netflix movie.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m really enjoying the series so far
No can ever duplicate Selena. In one way or another they will always fall short. Selena was a once in a lifetime performer. People have to stop holding these actresses to the same standards they hold Selena in because they'll continually be let down. The story telling is really good in this series in my opinion.
This was one of my favorite scenes. Christian did so great! You see criticism but come on! She had the guts to say yes to play this role!! She did fantastic!!! She is a beautiful strong woman just like Selena. ❤️
Thank you Netflix for this special Easter egg in the show. This song is so damn good with so much feeling. She should’ve used more angry gestures. Like grabbing his shirt. She did that though with the bowing to the guy. But she should’ve introduced him as her ex novio at the end, not the beginning.
At the end when he said “lol, whose crying inside?”, I nearly choked on some mashed potatoes! Why?! Why am I always choking when I watch clips hahaha.
This was the only part I feel that I enjoyed and she did good!!
I still can’t believe people are body shaming and being incredibly rude. You can’t look exactly like someone. She did an amazing job!
I think she did great! No one like Selena but I loved her portrayal!
The iconic kneel
This was my favorite scene!!!
julio is so funny 🤣🤣. amor probhido, que creias, como la flor, baila esta cumbia, no me queda mas and bidi bidi bom bom are my favorite songs from Selena
I enjoyed the series they did a great job
Iam impressed she looks and acts like the late selena. WOW!!! She did the exact bending down like selena.
Christian did so good loved her portrayal
She did so good 😊 love it
My FAVORITE song!! My 6 year old self singing it like I was some hot shit lol
Okay this scene she did what she had to do
Loved this scene 😭
I actually loved her portrayal of selena I loved the series I constantly rewatch it more than the movie now is that weird? 😂😂🤷🏽♀️❤🥰
It's really not the actress's looks but her energy (and in this scene her connection w/ the audience and man) that seem off in her portrayal .
*for all those comments: I'm not saying it isn't hard or I could do it better :P
Well it’s not easy
قليلاً ماتشكرون >الحمدلله على عين تبصر و آذن تسمع وجسد معافى وقلب ينبض لك الحمد ربي على نعمتك التي لاتعد ولا تحصى 🖤!.
هل اجد من يحمد الله؟
My only problem, is this was not done in the middle of a baseball field. Texans from the 80-90s will remember that baseball game where the dude was terrified of her.
I have no idea why they picked her I guess she’s a good actor but she looks nothing like Selena BUT I must admit I think it’s a very good series Qué Creías was one of my favorite parts in the series so far
Okay but nobody will ever look like Selena!
I agree she is a pretty good actor
This shouldn’t be the focus. They’re looking for an actress when casting, not a Selena twin.
And Jamie foxx looks nothing like ray charles lmfao!! Lol gtfo with your nit picking.
bye no one looks exactly like Selena people are so caught up with her looks rather than the story
PEOPLE Christian isn't gonna look exactly like Selena, Noone can look like Selena! THE show is about selenas journey and more about her personal life
Huge Selena fan here and I can definitely see Selena in her portrayal. Watch the real version
She did so amazing 🤩 I loved it
She doesn't look like her but her movements as her make you forget that it is not her. she did great at memorising her movements. such a good job!
Como la flor!!! Legend
😭😭 she's doing so great!! Doing the Queen justice 💗😩
Great show Netflix👏 love it🥂 can’t wait for next season ♥️
Christian did amazing🥰 I loved this scene so much
Por favor Netflix!!! Para la segunda temporada dejen completas las escenas de los conciertos... Gracias!!!
Van hacer igual que con la película (A excepción de Bidibidibombom) 🤦🏻♂️
She killed it she did everything so well bravo !!!😚👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹
I love this scene 😍
The lip singing was much better in this scene
