Tearjerker / Selena

Go To

The singer:

  • Most of her songs but "La Llamada", "I Could Fall in Love", and "No Me Queda Mas".
  • Most of Dreaming of You is depressing, considering it was her last work before her passing, and was released posthumously.
  • Kumba King's tribute to Selena in their take on "Baila Esta Cumbia", which ends with a heartwarming message from A.B. to his deceased sister. Add to the fact the video features the group and a drawn Selena singing with them.
  • "Siempre Hace Frio" is a beautifully sung song about heartbreak.

The film:

  • Selena's death scene, made worse by "Dreaming of You" (the last song she sang) being played over her family and fans mourning. She was (and still is) a beloved Latina icon, and her death at 23 years old saddened many people.
  • Selena returning to her family's home after a radio reveals she and Chris eloped. Abraham tells her he's glad she did what she did, and tearfully admits he doesn't know how to let her go.
