Selena

She is a singer as well as a designer, and music pioneer. She was at once traditional and modern a Mexican-American singer who brought together the two worlds in a singular way--and delivered excellent Tejano music to an affluent crowd. The sudden loss of her life that shattered the rising star's reputation. This is what happens to many stars who die far too young. In order to prevent her successes from going unnoticed, many fans over the last few years have been motivated to achieve more. Selena's shooting death sparked an emotional response within the Latino society that could be likened with Elvis Presley, and John Lennon. Selena's music, a singer who was hugely success in Latino Communities across North America touched people young and old. Selena might have been described by certain people as an Latina Madonna, however she's still a fantastic example to follow. Selena's off-stage family values as well as her involvement with AIDS awareness programs make her a good example.
