Selena

She was an artist, creator, performer and also set new boundaries in the music world. She was at once an American-Mexican traditional singer who brought together the two realms of music in an unison way. And she brought incredible Tejano music to a mass crowd. Much like when an incredibly bright and charming star dies far too early and unexpectedly, it has thrown her profile into a quagmire. A lot of mourners reacted to the potential that was not fully realized. Fans have worked harder through the years to preserve her legacy. Selena's tragic death by shooting triggered a response in the Latino Community, similar to reactions following the deaths of Elvis Presley or John Lennon. Selena was a hugely popular singer among Latinos in North America. But her music was a hit with both the young as well as the elderly. Selena is a stunning sexy performer, sometimes referred as Latina Madonna. But, she's also an admired role model since off stage Selena has an attitude of family and active is involved in anti-drug campaigns.
