Customer Reviews

A great tribute...
'Selena Remembered' is a great video for fans, as well as people who want to know more about this wonderful entertainer, and what a nice person she was. Great clips, music, interviews with family, etc.. My only complaint would be that it makes you realize even more what an incredible tragedy her death was. I wish I had known more of her while she was still here. Definitely recommend this video, it's excellent.

The best Selena video...
This is the best Selena video available. I was very impressed when I bought it soon after it came out, and I continue to be impressed with it. Edward James Olmos narrates this tribute to Selena, and in just one hour this video covers a lot of ground.

It starts off with black-and-white footage of her performing at a very young age and traces her career from the early days up until her death. It's a joyful video which focuses on her life and career, and doesn't dwell on her murder, and makes no mention of Yolanda Saldivar. There's concert, video and interview footage with Selena's humor to go with it all. This video is awesome.

Selena is as immortal as the moon and stars...
I had never heard of Selena until she was murdered over four years ago. I realized that when I saw the biography of her life in the movie "Selena" and since have learned as much as I can about 'the star America did not know it had.'As for Selena Remembered, this film is as close to really being with this amazing young woman as anyone ever was. My eyes welled up with tears as the final clips and narration by Edward James Olmos played on the screen in front of me. I give this picture the highest rating of five stars. If you like Selena's music or would enjoy a glimpse into her short but fulfilling life, get this movie!This next line is for the movie critic that stated "Selena sounds a lot like Gloria Estefan". I think you need to go back and listen to her music a little more carefully. I am sure she will touch you just like she has touched millions of others, like myself.
