@shialabeouflover95 OMG u read my mind thank u for saying that i remember back then in youtube i used to write selena only and she would come out the first video would be amor prohibido and now i type selena and gomez comes out i have to write selena quintanilla i agree make way for the original selena
LOVE SELENA AND I MISS HER SOU MUCH!! HEY FRIENDS YOU GUYS MAY KNOW SOME PROMOUTER,CAUSE I HAVE TALEN, I CAN SING,HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS HEAR ME SOME DAY,I JUST NEED PROMOTION SOME BODY THAT PUSH ME TO MY BIG DREAM,HONESTLLY I ALMOUST SOUND LIKE SELENA,...I LOVE YOU SELENA I AM LISTENING TO HER SONGS...PLEASE RRESPOND TO ME..THANKS A LOT!
I love this version of the song. The West Side Story did good with the original but Selena knows how to hit the notes just right. "Very smart Maria, very smaaart!"
i LOVE Selena but now evertime i type in Selena in a search engine Selena Gomez always comes up, i mean she's cool and all but still. make way for the ORIGINAL Selena
im not trying to put anyone down but selena did an awsome job on this song. after i seen west side story i knew this song. haha i always wondered why she said " very smart maria very smart" haha now it makes sense lol but i like this version so much more. there is so much more passion but thats how selena rolls!! haha i love her!! Selena forever in my heart!!
Does anyone know the name of the cd this was on? Obviously it's West Side Story. But I tried googling it and can't find this version. I used to own this cd many years ago but it broke and I haven't been able to find it since. I would love to own another copy. Anyone know how to find it? Thanks!
Never mind. I found and ordered the cd online. The exact title of the cd is "The Songs of the West Side Story", if anyone else wanted to know. I can't wait to get it in the mail! I love the cd and haven't heard it in forever because most of the songs aren't online. At least not that I can find...
@Megamel99 I have also been trying to find it! I liked all the renditions on the CD better than the original Broadway cast. Does the CD have a picture of a hand on it?
@mmminmin02 That's not true about her dad trying to take advantage of her death. I'm from Corpus and I remember at least in a lot of texas he actually had her cd's pulled from the shelves for a good while because they didn't want her to sell merely because she died, but after the demand was so great he decided to sell them again.
there is a blanket with selena on it a tattoo with selena on it, there is a white rose behind the creepy dancing people, I LOVE THAT SELENA BLANKET!! I WISH THEY SOLD IT. I do have the selena glamour shot blanket tho
I love this song and Selena, but seriously prefer the movie and Broadway versions. Anyone who knows the storyline knows Anita sings this to Maria as a warning song after being told that Tony killed her lover, Maria's brother Bernardo. Anita was bitter and wanted Tony dead, and while catchy, Selena's version is too pop-oriented to portray that. Especially when she sings: "Very smart, Maria, very smart!" the anger was bubbling over, and in this version, you can't even tell it's there.
I gave you a thumbs up because even though I prefer this version, you presented your argument properly. You used proper spelling and punctuation. Also, unlike most people who comment on youtube videos, you do not sound like a moron. Thank you. I think you stopped my brain from exploding.
@heavenlylifestyle while most of us know the story of WSS, keep in mind the album this is off of has numerous artists covering songs from WSS, the purpose was to keep WSS relevant to a younger audience. I have the album and understand the point of this version, i'd hate to hear your remarks on the others hahaha..Shelia E plays on background which is great and for Sel to be asked to contribute w/the artists of that time was a big thing since she had more of a latin audience, i love it in comparis
Two Thumbs Down--I don't like this remix. It seems like somebody just recorded the song over a video, but it has nothing to do with 'West Side Story'.
The original version is gay ass fuk .
But this version is awesome selena had a strong beautiful voice
