The English tracks on the album are no different than her Spanish songs. Selena was essentially a singer much like her idol Madonna. She was able to sing ballads and dance-pop convincingly. Dreaming of You would have been a stronger album if she had lived, but it still stands as a powerful -- and touching -- testament to her talents.

First I want to say that I hate to focus so much on the author and her identity because it feels more like I'm writing a personal attack rather than a book review, but it's unavoidable with this book. The main character is a "fictionalized" version of the author even has the same name and one of the main themes in this book, as in her poetry collection "Peluda," is cultural identity.
Selena Quintanilla is the entry point to a lot of the musings regarding this topic. Anyway, I got this book for First I want to say that I hate to focus so much on the author and her identity because it feels more like I'm writing a personal attack rather than a book review, but it's unavoidable with this book. Anyway, I got this book for free and read it against my better judgment. I recently read "Peluda" and wasn't impressed, since MLO the author is clearly one of those diaspora kids with identity issues that are borderline ridiculous to those of us who are actually members of the communities that these diaspora kids desperately want to be a part of.
MLO currently identifies as a "Guatelombian mess" in her Instagram profile tangent: this writer should consider deleting all her social media profiles. In reality she is neither Guatemalan nor Colombian — she's an American who exploits the nationalities of her parents, as well as the "Latina" label, as a way to escape being placed in the same category as white Americans, who she culturally has more in common with than she ever will with Guatemalans and Colombians.
With that in mind, it's no surprise that she feels she has a ton of stuff in common with Selena Quintanilla, a Mexican-American woman from a culture that is literally nothing like either of MLO's parents' cultures. This is why it's so clear that she's an American. Americans are the ones with a hazy understanding of Latin America.
The "Latino" label itself is something that has a lot more significance in the United States, and it was mainly created as a way for Yankees to lump all Spanish-speaking immigrants together. Every time this writer tries to make it seem like other people are the ones who don't realize that all Latinos aren't the same it comes across as disingenuous, because she herself seems to know next to nothing about her parents' cultures.
