I honestly forgot about it. I saw it when I was really young. It has been 25 years since the movie dropped and it was the movie that set the stage and launched JLo's career. Who knows where she would be without the movie. I never thought she was one of the big names or singers of the time, she was good but not amazing or anything. Had a few songs that I liked back in the day.

I remember it. I remember not knowing anything about her or her music but the movie made me look into it. She was good. Not great, but an easy listen.

I remember this movie, never watched it.. but it was Keenen Ivory Wayans putting her on "In living color" as a Fly girl back in 90' that launched her career.

I remember watching the movie in Spanish class when I was in High School. I believe my a few of my cousins loved her music, and were devastated when she was murdered. I completely forgot Jennifer Lopez starred in the film.

Because it's s not about J-Lo the J-Ho and never was. It's about Selena Quintanilla, whose star shines brighter than J-Lo even in death. At least Selena was able to sing and not be a disrespectful culture vulture.
