Selena Gomez to do "duet" with the Original Selena

Since Tupac Shakur's hologram performance, it seems like anything is possible when it comes to the music world!

Selena Gomez is the latest singer who's getting a chance to work with a beloved (and no longer with us) music star—the original Selena herself...

Gomez is one of the stars who recorded a song on Enamorada De Ti, a new tribute album honoring the late Latin songstress.

"She did an amazing job," Selena's brother, A.B. Quintanilla, told E! of Gomez at today's Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami. "I had the opportunity to talk to her, we did some awards together and I had never met her before in person. And I took the opportunity to go say hello to her. And I want to thank her for coming onto the album."

"She was named after my sister," Quintanilla continued. "That's pretty awesome. Selena with Selena. We want to thank all the Selena Gomez fans that have actually, they've been really, really at it just spreading the word. Hard core fans."

He added of Gomez, "Selena, this message is to you. I didn't get to work with you but I'm going to work with you on your Spanish album. You better call me!"

Gomez recently talked to JustJared.com about working on the duets album.

"I was completely honored when they asked me to be on the tribute CD and when I went into the studio to record they actually had her vocals in the booth that she was in, so I felt like she was singing right next to me," she said. "It gave me chills! It was incredible and it was a great experience and it was a great song."

I just got done watching the Selena movie and I was in the mood to make a post about her and this story conveniently popped up on Google.

killerqueen 29th-Apr-2012 06:19 pm (UTC)

That's what I originally thought.

cherisheddreams 29th-Apr-2012 07:10 pm (UTC)

that's definitely what I thought it was going to be. Especially since the song was already recorded and came out

cherryreefer 30th-Apr-2012 07:40 am (UTC)

jessnesss 29th-Apr-2012 06:19 pm (UTC)

laurie_springs 29th-Apr-2012 08:49 pm (UTC)

lol she'd never. Then noone would ever care about her ass (literally) again after seeing the complete comparison.

I dont get the hologram thing. Dont people want to see LIVE music? who wants to see a glamorized computer?

BRB watching Selena for the 500th time

keef_riffhards 29th-Apr-2012 06:29 pm (UTC)

Dont people want to see LIVE music?

Considering some the artists with the biggest grossing tours today, I'd say probably not.

orlybb 29th-Apr-2012 07:36 pm (UTC)

A+

jazzy 29th-Apr-2012 06:28 pm (UTC)

i miss selena like woah. i am gonna bidi bidi bom bom while i clean my house now.

simplychristina 29th-Apr-2012 06:33 pm (UTC)

Me too. Making a playlist right now.

simplychristina 29th-Apr-2012 06:31 pm (UTC)

I love Selena (Q) but the way her family has basically milked her for years (not unique to them, obviously - see Tupac, Sinatra, Elvis) kind of doesn't sit right.

callme_morbid 29th-Apr-2012 06:45 pm (UTC)

ikwym. every year they seem to put out something about her. it's tiring at this point.

jezemel 29th-Apr-2012 06:58 pm (UTC)

I like her sister and husband. It's her father who has always exploited her. Which is not to say he didn't love her immensely, he was just a stage dad lbh.

simplychristina 29th-Apr-2012 07:03 pm (UTC)

I didn't mean Chris (he's got a book but he basically kept everything private for all these years so I don't fault him...he's ready now) and I know it's pretty much her dad. I should've been clearer.

It just always bothered me. One, maybe two albums of b-sides and unreleased stuff is fine but when you recycle it over and over, it's like ugh.

onyxobsidian 29th-Apr-2012 07:27 pm (UTC)

IA. Every fucking year there's a different "collectors edition" of the same 10 fucking songs that is released, and dolls, etc. It is kind of sad and gross.

massielita 29th-Apr-2012 08:18 pm (UTC)

It's never sat right with me. But I could maybe understand it the first couple of CDs that came out post her death. Now it's just blatantly disrespectful.
