I disagree, Selena was very good in many different types of music. Amor Prohibido is the best album Selena ever released in life, a chance that we had to see what we would lose a year later.

I liked the title track of course. But "Fots Y Recuerdos" was an incredible number. Followed By her hit "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "Techno Cumbia" witch are now songs known by every latin music listener.

Then Came "No Me Queda Mas" a remix from the 1993 hit, which was written by Ricky Vela to Selena's sister Suzette, because he was in love with her. This Mariachi ballad was incredible.

"Ya No" was an exellent Rock-Style ending to what would be Selena's final album. We will never forget you, "Queen Of Tejano"

JUST BY LISTENING TO THIS CD YOU CAN ADMIRE ONE OF THE BEST TALENTS THE WORLD WAS ABLE TO SEE. A COLLECTION OF BEAUTIFULL SONGS MADE WITH LOVE AND HARD WORK BY ONE OF LATIN'S MOST LOVED ARTISTS SELENA WAS AND STILL IS ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC. I JUST LOVE THIS CD ESPECIALLY THE SONG FOTOS Y RECUERDOS . I AM PRETTY SURE THAT IF ANYONE LIKE TO LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC THE WILL LOVE TO HEAR AMOR PROHIBIDO ONE OF SELENA'S BEST. AND NOW I ONLY HAVE TWO THINGS TO SAY:FOR YOU OUTHERE DON'T THINK IT TWICE IT IS WORTH IT AND FOR SELENA'S FAMILY , SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.

This album encompassed Selena on her way to what would have been THE pop-crossover of the 1990s. Selena demonstrated true drive, ambition and passion in everything she did, from her record-breaking live performances to her must-have albums, like Amor Prohibido.

This album is a cohesive, complete set of ten Latin-based tracks, that showcase her wonderful, learned voice and the emerging Tejano-techno-pop sound that she and her band were pioneers of in the late 80s/early 90s. From the irresistible Spanish pop of "Amor Prohibido" and "Bidi Bom Bom" to the the sound of her sweet voice over the traditional accordion and guitar arrangements of "Tus Desprecios" and brass-line in "Si Una Vez," Selena proves that her voice surpasses, with elegant grace, even some of the great-English-language pop stars of her time. Every song on this compilation is pure perfection -- whether it's the get-up-and-dance neo-Tejano beat of "Techno Cumbia" or the classic soul of "No Me Queda Mas" -- and Selena's melodic, soothing voice puts the finishing touch on each song (with remarkable pitch and range.) This CD belongs in the music collections of Tejano and pop fans alike.
