Selena’s murder shocked both her fans and the general public alike, prompting widespread mourning and keen interest in the details of the crime and the subsequent trial.

Saldívar was arrested after a brief standoff with the police and later convicted of murder.

She received a sentence of life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 30 years, which is next year.

Selena’s death left a void in Texas music and pop culture in general, but her legacy endures through her music and her influence on the Latino community.

Several months ago, Ángela Aguilar received harsh criticism after making unexpected comments about Selena Quintanilla.

On numerous occasions, the young singer has been «accused» of wanting to resemble the «Queen of Tex-Mex.»

«Imagine if Selena tried to be like me, well, I hadn’t even been born when she was singing, besides, she was already an older lady, I’m only 16 years old.»

Many didn’t appreciate Pepe Aguilar’s daughter referring to the singer of songs like «El chico del apartamento 512» as «older lady.»

Did Selena possess her?

In a video available on the Univisión website, Ángela Aguilar recounts how she sang a Selena song for the first time without rehearsing it.

Pepe Aguilar’s daughter believed that during her performance in Querétaro, she would sing «Como la flor,» but that wasn’t the case.

When the young singer least expected it, the musicians started playing the first chords of «Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.»

«I think my dad was testing me, like, ‘let’s see if you know it, let’s see if you can do it,'» said the artist.

«She only hangs on fame»

However, not everyone thought it was a good idea for Ángela Aguilar to perform a song by Selena like «Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.»

«She doesn’t even come close, Selena was a great woman unlike Ángela,» said one user.

On the other hand, another person commented that they should rather make a song for Pepe Aguilar’s daughter, as she only sings songs by other artists.

«She’s trying to cling to someone who can generate money for her, but once again she failed,» wrote an internet user. (TO WATCH THE VIDEO, CLICK HERE).
