..**DREAMING OF YOU** ..
I Fell Asleep Listening to Selena Quintanilla the Other Night.. & then I watched the Movie "*SELENA*
It caused me to want to write down my THOUGHTS I had during and after this movie! .. As I said..
THIS BLOG SITE ..Will ALWAYS BE ABOUT .. ME ~ MY LIFE ~ MY THOUGHTS ..ETC :)

*SELENA QUINTANILLA*.. A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG ARTIST.. A YOUNG 'FLOWER' JUST BEGINNING TO "BLOSSOM".. SADLY..."GONE TOO SOON"...
*JENNIFER LOPEZ* ,, A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG ARTIST.. FAIRLY 'UNKNOWN' TO THE 'WORLD'.. A YOUNG FLOWER 'PICKED' TO "CONTINUE DOWN A VERY SIMILAR PATH"..
DO YOU BELIEVE IN "FATE"??.. DID GOD GIVE 'US' JLO ..SINCE HE 'NEEDED' SELENA??
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE STORIES THAT ARE FAR TOO SIMILAR TO BE "COINCIDENCE!"
I "DO" BELIEVE IN 'FATE'.. I BELIEVE IN 'DESTINY' I BELIEVE 'ONE' CONTINUES ON.... <3
I Really Like Jennifer Lopez. She's FULL of That ALL Round Type of Talent..a talent that must be DEVELOPED over 'TIME'.. She has shown us all that she is a very GIFTED Woman, Singer, Dancer & Actress. However, there's something that goes through my head EVERY TIME I watch the Movie "SELENA" (The LIFE of Selena Quintanilla) ...
JLO starred as the Young Tejano Beauty in the Movie and Played it SO WELL, it seemed the "PART" was WRITTEN especially FOR her, even though the Story was about a DIFFERENT Young Lady!! .. The similarities are uncanny. They did an excellent job of casting Jennifer Lopez for the Role, she did Fit the part, but it's what happened LATER in her life that would be even more strange..to ME.. This is WHY I Do believe in FATE and Destiny.. I Believe it was JLO'S DESTINY to Carry on Selena's Legacy.. in a Twisted, Strange sort of way!
Selena's untimely Death, a Tragedy that had a huge Impact on the entire World was also a Huge loss to the Entertainment Industry. They lost a Blossoming Super-Star that day! After her death, a Movie was planned showing us, the Life of Selena. It would be a very personal, very private look into her & her family's lives, as well as show us the path that lead her to become the "QUEEN of TEJANO".. Jennifer Lopez was chosen to play the starring role. Even though it was JLO'S 1st BIG TIME Project in Entertainment, this ironic Role she was about to play, would also change Her OWN life in what was probably a very unexpected way. it would set JLO on a parallel path that Selena herself would have taken, had she lived. I thought JLO did a Very Good Job playing the part of Selena! I'm sure MILLIONS AGREE!.. I've checked into all the facts about the events I will mention BEFORE writing my thoughts.. & of course it's just MY Opinion.. But, The Movie "SELENA" was JLO's Very 1st project in Entertainment..(1st BIG Project) Outside of being one of the 'FLY-GIRLS' .. The Dancers on 'IN LIVING COLOR'! I had a hunch it was her '1st' Big project, but checked JUST to make sure..& I was correct..she hadn't even released any #Music yet.
I've watched JLO Progress as an entertainer.. I've watched her 'STYLE' Emerge and .. I just Can't help but Believe that JLO Had ADOPTED both the 'Character and PERSONA' of Selena Quintanilla... It seems that JLO has just CONTINUED on in Entertainment Just As "SELENA" would have! JLO adopted the Clothing..the Hairstyles (to this day) even the Music of the Selena we all saw in the movie. She has become WHAT 'I' Imagine Selena would have EMERGED AS in the Music Field.. including the English Speaking side of the business! Selena's final project, according to the Movie, was an album done all in English. She had accomplished a couple of "Cross-Over hits from Spanish to the American/English Charts. This Album in ENGLISH was gaining a Great Deal of Recognition.. So much So , Selena was nominated for and WON many awards including a Grammy. Her Career as a Cross Over Artist was Just taking off when she was killed. It truly felt to ME as well as to MILLIONS of others that She was just Taken too Soon. But Who are WE to say that GOD did something TOO SOON or that HE did something UNFAIR? that's very Selfish of ANY of us Humans to say! God always has Good Reason for what he does, even though WE as humans, may not understand the reasons, They're ALWAYS for the BEST of anything and everything involved!
This is where Jennifer Lopez comes into play in MY mind! She was a Talented young Hispanic Artist, relatively unknown, and completely "MOLDABLE" for the Movie and Music Executives who were in control over the movie. They saw the same similarities that WE all can see, right down to the physical similarities these two young women shared including their big backsides lol! The Executives trained JLO Well and SHE herself put in alot of time researching Selena, that was obvious, cause she pulled off the role in a very convincing way. I believe THIS could be the beginning of the ultimate PATH that JLO would take in the Entertainment Field.. When you LOOK at the Two Young Women, There's NOT all that many differences in them, or the PUBLIC Image anyway, is there?? I believe, HAD Selena LIVED... & Continued ON in the Entertainment Industry... I'm SURE that JLO would have become a completely DIFFERENT Styled ARTIST!
Since Selena's untimely Death created an OPENING so to speak.. I believe JLO Filled that opening and just Carried ON from Where Selena had LEFT OFF! AND Again, Let me CLARIFY.. This is MY OWN OPINION... It's NOT a Slam against Ms Jennifer Lopez at ALL.. It's actually a Compliment.. True, WE, The World, Lost a Beautiful, Talented, Up and Coming Young "STAR" (whom we all loved and admired), Far Too Soon... Yet, 'THEN'.. WE, the WORLD, were ALSO Given a Sort of .. Hmm, NOT a Replacement, because NO ONE Could EVER #REPLACE Selena, but, We were Given an #Extension (if you will) of 'HER' in "JLO".. An Extension in a twisted, sideways kind of way! Through 'JLO' We Saw, what was probably, a CLOSE simulation of how Selena, Her STYLE, CHARM & MUSIC...MIGHT have grown into as an ADULT Artist! .. There are SO SO MANY People who LOVE and MISS Selena SO MUCH, 'I', being ONE of them! I Wish With ALL My heart that she were STILL Here TODAY.. I DO However, ADMIRE Jennifer Lopez as an Artist.. Who, in a Strange Way.. whether it was deliberate or an Unknowing Direction Chosen by God, Decided to Create HER STYLE, CHARACTER and PERSONA that IRONICALLY MATCHED, those that Selena would have probably CHOSEN as a Musical Artist in Show business today! I Believe God gave us JENNIFER LOPEZ, as a Comfort, as an Artist that would carry on "SOME" of What We all LOVED about Selena! Jennifer Lopez, I believe was CHOSEN to be this person! She WAS and STILL IS Perfect for THIS "ROLE'! ..Miss Lopez was an UNDISCOVERED SUPER STAR at the time SHE was Cast for the Role of MS SELENA QUINTANILLA... and 'I' Believe that "THAT" was the REASON that Jennifer Lopez was BORN. I just appreciate the TALENT and the MUSIC that GOD GAVE TO "BOTH" of these Young Women..*& Allowed them to SHARE That Gift with ALL OF US ... True, We may not have Selena HERE with us, but I BELIEVE that GOD is still sending ALOT of Selena's TALENT & PERSONA ..to US 'THROUGH' Jennifer Lopez! .. Excellent Choice.."IN 'MY' OPINION"
SO, YES, I "DO" BELIEVE IN "FATE".. I "DO" BELIEVE IN "DESTINY" ..
AND YES, I "DO" BELIEVE THAT WHEN GOD MUST TAKE SOMEONE.. AND IT HURTS SO MANY, SO DEEPLY.. THAT HE 'WILL' PROVIDE US WITH ..SOMEONE ELSE! SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE US .. A "LITTLE BIT" OF "THAT' PERSON WE ARE MISSING! AND ALOT OF COMFORT IN OUR HEARTS OVER THE LOSS! ..
TO *SELENA QUINTANILLA* THERE WILL "NEVER' BE ANOTHER "YOU"..
WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU FOREVER...
TO *JENNIFER LOPEZ* THERE WILL ALSO "NEVER" BE ANOTHER "YOU" ...
THOUGH YOU'RE NOT THE EXACT REPLICA, I'M GRATEFUL THAT GOD LEAD YOU DOWN THE PATH YOU'RE ON.. YOU, (ESPECIALLY THAT BACKSIDE lol ;) AS WELL AS YOUR MUSIC, WILL STILL REMIND MANY.. OF THE YOUNG LADY "YOU"
*BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE* (THOUGH VERY BRIEFLY) IN A VERY CONVINCING WAY.. I KNOW THAT, WHILE WATCHING THAT MOVIE, 'I' GOT LOST IN IT, AND SAW.. NO ONE "BUT" *SELENA QUINTANILLA*
THANK YOU TO ALL.. FOR MAKING THAT A POSSIBILITY! :)
