smitherz 2,353 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I stopped watching halfway through the first episode. The movie holds such a special place in my heart, and the show was just making me mad hahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeJudas 6,490 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 It's good More in depth of the family and relationship stuff Not as much music or singing as I originally expected tbh Wich is fine actually. The actress is also amazing and really fun and very present with her "vibes" I don't see/don't understand why it's hated on so much I love Selena but I don't know much so that's maybe why.

ToxicHot 6,444 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Lol it’s funny how whoever put that picture together chose the most unflattering photo of the new Selena on the right next to the gorgeous one of JLO. Like come on now... Not defending it though, I really don’t care for Selena’s music. Never have, never will. She’s a legend in the Mexican-American community, but I hate tejano music. Also it’s kinda sad how after the hit movie 20+ years ago, the family’s still trying to profit off of her death. But whatever, I guess it’s their decision. EDIT, a few hours later: I feel a little bad for sounding so negative (nobody called me out or anything, I’m just saying). Congratulations to her family for this project and for all the Selena fans out there. May she rest in peace. dOnT sAd ReAcT mE 2 bE sHaDy i WiLL RePoRt U!!1!

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 2 hours ago, ProdigyARTPOP said: That is actually what happened though, AB wrote all the music and produced it. She simply sang the material. This is coming from someone who loves Selena and considers himself a stan. People are complaining that the series isn’t what they expected but that’s only because their expectations are very diluted. Everyone loves the movie but the movie missed out so much about her & the family’s life + dynamic. This series is supposed to shed light on that. I mean it's true to a point. She started very young if I remember correctly but she also wrote two of her biggest hits, Como Una Flor and Bidi Bidi. But yes she didn't write. That has to with her father. I don't think you have to write everything to be an industry puppet though. Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and others aren't puppets. Also even Michael Jackson didn't write anything until he left the control of his father and older brothers. Poor girl wasn't even given a chance. That's is what is so sad about all of this.

Emvee 8,134 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I wanted to love it, but I just can’t. The actress doesn’t have the right personality to portray someone as energetic and charismatic as Selena was. The family is not that interesting to expand upon, which makes the episodes feel so slow. It’s kind of upsetting cause this doesn’t do Selena any justice and this is what younger generations will be exposed to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the picture is comparing the portrayal of Selena in the original movie where she was played by J Lo, and the new show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
