Obviously it's Aaliyah. Was Selena even aware of Hip-Hop? I doubt her parents even allow her to talk to Black folks.

She was? I thought she grew up in some small town somewhere and wasn't allowed to listen to Black music, is that not the case? I watched the movie with J Lo when it came out and never watched it again, I can't remember her life story.

Selena credited Donna Summer,[13] Madonna,[14] Gloria Estefan,[15] Paula Abdul,[16] Michael, [17] and Janet Jackson[18] as primary influences on her dance moves, her music and fashion. According to Michelle Habell-Pallán in her book Latino/a Popular Culture (2002), the singer was influenced by African-American music such as disco,[13] R&B and funk.[18] Habell-Pallán wrote that Summer and Gloria Gaynor's music were "drawn into" Selena's Tejano sound.[19] Before she began recording her first LP in 1984 her father and manager, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr., discouraged her from singing in "Donna Summer's style" and believed that his children should record the music of their heritage.[20] According to Ed Morales, Selena's interest in American pop music influenced her work and her 1995 sampled single "Fotos y Recuerdos" was inspired by Summer and Diana Ross.[21][22]

During the early 1990s Selena began wearing revealing outfits at her concerts,[23] emulating the trends of the time set by Madonna, Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul.[24] Because of her dress and dancing, she was called the "Mexican Madonna" by fans.[25][26] Selena was credited as the first women to change public perceptions of feminine beauty; a feminist, she blazed a trail for other female artists during her career.[14][27] In her 2004 Encyclopedia of Latino Popular Culture, Cordelia Candelaria called Selena's concert wardrobe "independence from a more rural image" which "was the provocative sexuality of her dress and her creation of a contemporary sexy Latina style in the manner of Madonna."[28]

In an interview Selena said that Michael Jackson's 1984 performance at the Astrodome influenced her to follow in his footsteps,[17] and her February 1995 Astrodome concert set an attendance record.[29] In To Selena, with Love (2012), his book about their relationship, her widower Chris Pérez wrote that Selena's favorite artists were Bonnie Raitt, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston and her favorite song was "Black Cat" from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. She was "open-minded", he said, about all music (especially rock groups such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Green Day).[30] According to Pérez, Selena enjoyed singing Extreme's "More Than Words".[31]
