The soundtrack to the biopic of late Texan star Selena is an even better homage to the singer than the film itself. Incorporating rare tracks, hits, and sizzling live cuts, the album brims with Selena's energy and charisma. Especially invigorating are "Disco Medley, Part II," recorded during Selena's triumphant 1995 concert at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and the eight-minute live Cumbia Medley, which blends some of her biggest Spanish hits. "Where Did the Feeling Go?" is an early pop precursor to nuanced hits such as "I Could Fall in Love" and "Dreaming of You," which are also included. The album also features Selena's searing rendition of "A Boy Like That," originally featured on a West Side Story tribute album, and "Viviras Selena," a touching tribute featuring Tejano stars Jennifer Peña, Emilio, and Bobby Pulido. --Joey Guerra

Great soundtrack!!!
I love this soundtrack for Selena's songs. Especially the ballads 'Where did the feeling go' and 'Only love' because you cannot get them elsewhere! My favourite song was 'Is it the beat', which is sung to the tune of 'Enomaorada de ti' club mix. I also love 'A boy like that' and the brilliant cumbia medley, Selena singing live is stunning! I quite liked the oldies medley and the other tribute songs, but they were not as good as Selena!! 'Dreaming of you' and 'I could fall in love' are so beautiful. Anyone who saw the movie and like the songs should definetly buy this soundtrack and 'All my hits todos mis exitos', because all the songs from the movie are on that. Definetly a great cd!!
Your Fans Love You SELENA!!!
SELENA LIVES FOREVER!!!! This C.D. is awesome and so is the movie! No one can take Selena's place on this earth, she is and will always be La Reina, and the Tejano Queen!!!! We love and miss you Selena!!! ***R.I.P*****
This is the very first CD I ever bought and love!
Back in '97, I saw the movie SELENA in the theaters with one of my friends. We both loved it. After seeing the movie, we went to our hometown's mall and I bought the soundtrack for this movie. And I have to say this soundtrack is absolutely one of my top five favorite CDs out of my entire huge CD collection. Before this movie, I'd never even heard of Selena, so I knew of nothing about her death or her music, well actually, I do remember hearing "Dreaming Of You" being played on the radio in '95, but I never really knew much about Selena.
The best tracks on this entire soundtrack are: "Disco Medley Part 1", "Where Did The Feeling Go?", "Disco Medley Part 2", "Is It The Beat?", "Only Love", "Dreaming Of You", "A Boy Like That", "I Could Fall In Love", and especially "Cumbia Medley" - the songs Selena sings in Spanish on this soundtrack. "Where Did The Feeling Go?" and "Only Love" are previously not released on any of Selena's other albums, so these two are really beautiful songs and this soundtrack is a great way to add these two songs to your Selena collection. A person who's never heard of Selena before will get a pre-view of what Selena's music is like from this soundtrack before going out to buy one of Selena's albums. But this whole soundtrack - even the extras - are beautiful and wonderful. Selena's voice is stunning. And I have to say that my absolute favorite Selena song is "Dreaming Of You". Oh, by the way...Jennifer Lopez did an excellent job portraying Selena in the movie; you just couldn't have found a more perfect Selena match than Jennifer Lopez! I recommend both this soundtrack and the movie. You'll love both!
