I like the music ... but


To use Selena's singing voice throughout the movie (even when she was a young girl ) just was a bit of a stretch, or am I wrong to say this

Better than using J.Lo's nasally crap voice, ugh.

I like that they used Selena's voice. It's like her stamp to the movie of her life. She is the pro. I realize that J.Lo is a pop singer now but seriously - as catchy as her songs have been on the radio - her singing voice is embarrassing.

Jennifer Lopez didn't do too badly when she sang in tribute of her at the Grammy's not too long ago. YouTube it.

If they used more of her songs I would agree, but they just used snippets over montages and stuff. It probably would have cost too much to have the actors record new versions, and with JLo...ungh.

There is a man...he travels fast...he has purpose...he brings violence and destruction.
