Quintanilla Perez was a Mexican-American singer from Texas who was murdered at the age of 23 in 1995. Her murderer was the , a painfully ugly woman who was fired for embezzling funds from Selena s business. Beautiful but gullible Selena agreed to meet this freak at a nearby motel to retrieve tax paperwork and was shot in the back as she tried to escape the room.
But Selena did get posthumous justice: the troglodyte was sentenced to life in prison.
This song is called No Me Queda Mas (I have no choice). It s about a young woman who gets a message that the man she s in love with is about to marry another woman.
So like a true masochist, she goes to the church to watch the wedding. The genre is ranchera, which is a type of Mexican crying in your beer music. She had a fantastic voice and had just completed an album in English (her native language) when she was murdered.
Jennifer Lopez portrayed the singer in a 1997 entitled simply Selena.
Message: true beauty and talent can neither be bought - nor killed. The troglodyte who killed Selena (out of jealousy) is still a troglodyte.
But Selena s talent, and the beauty she created, live on.
we all miss selena too and I really liked what you wrote about selena. so keep thinking about her because I will.

Actually, yes, I am.
But that s beside the point.
It s really metaphorical. A lot of the evil that we see happening in the world is rooted in envy.
People(s) who are good, talented, noble, and honorable are hated by those without those qualities, and are subsequently brought down by the haters. Or, if this fails, they simply change the definitions of goodness, talent, nobility and honor. But the haters are still neither good, talented, noble or honorable.
Kind of like primitive peoples who eat the brains of intelligent people, thinking this will make them intelligent.

Good point on changing the definitions of goodness, talent, etc., Joanna.
Just look at all of the drugged out rock stars who have been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II?
The notion of knighthood might be damaged forever.
