Selena made her first public appearance at her father's Mexican restaurant in Lake Jackson at eight and recorded her first record at nine. Throughout her adolescence Selena was constantly on tour. She completed her education via correspondence courses. The singer signed with Capitol EMI in 1989, and released several albums with that label, including 1994's wildly popular 'Amor Prohibido'.
Chris Perez replaced Roger Garcia as guitar player. A romance budded between Perez and Selena, and the two married on April 2, 1992. Even as Selena's career skyrocketed she remained very close to her family, choosing to live next door to them in Corpus Christi.
Selena holds the record of drawing the biggest concert crowd in the history of the Houston Astrodome, for her February 1995 performance at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
The greatest irony in Selena's musical career is that she became a star singing in her second language. Her first language was English, not Spanish.
Aside from her singing, Selena was an avid clothing designer. Boutique shops with the Selena name opened in Corpus Christi and San Antonio in 1994. She also dabbled in acting, making a cameo in the Johnny Depp film 'Don Juan de Marco'.
A woman named Yolanda Saldívar worked her way into the singer's inner circle, becoming president of Selena's fan club and manager of the boutiques. In 1995 the Quintanillas found out Saldivar had embezzled money from these ventures and decided to fire her. Selena agreed to meet Saldivar at a Corpus Christi Days Inn on the morning of March 31, 1995 in order to retrieve paperwork for tax purposes. At the motel an argument ensued over the embezzlement and Saldivar shot the singer once in the back. Selena died within hours at a local hospital.
Selena's death shocked and saddened Tejano fans in Latin communities throughout the United States and in Mexico. Numerous vigils and memorials were held in the singer's honor. That summer her album 'Dreaming of You', a combination of Spanish language hits and new English language tracks, debuted at #1 on the Billboard music charts in the US.
In October of 1995 a Houston jury convicted Saldívar of murder and sentenced her to life in prison, with parole eligibility in thirty years.
There is a museum to honor Selena's memory and a bronze life-sized statue of her on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi. In 1997, Jennifer Lopez played Selena in the movie of the same name. The movie became the basis in which Lopez rose to superstardom.
In December 2020, Netflix released "Selena: The Series", together with Selena's family in production, based on her life in childhood, before fame, her space in the music industry and her importance for the Latin scenary, played by Christian Serratos. The series contains 2 parts with 18 episodes in total. The second and final part was released in May 2021.

Bidi bidi bom bom
Cada vez, cada vez que lo veo pasar

Cada vez, cada vez que lo oigo hablar
Me tiemblan hasta las piernas
Y el corazón igual

Y se emociona, ya no razona
No lo puedo controlar
Y se emociona, ya no razona
Y me empieza a cantar

"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is a joyful love song by Selena about the overwhelming emotions and reactions that come with seeing or hearing from the object of one's affections. Every time she sees him pass by, her heart races, she becomes emotional and can't control her feelings. When he talks to her, she becomes overwhelmed and can barely stand. The infectious chorus, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," is a melodic expression of the singer's heart racing and beating uncontrollably.
Selena released "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in her 1994 album, "Amor Prohibido." The song became Selena's highest charting single at the time and has become one of her most recognized and beloved songs. The song's upbeat rhythm and irresistible melody make it a popular karaoke and dance song in Latin America and beyond.
Interestingly, Selena did not write the song, nor was it written for her. Writing credit for "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is given to Selena's backup dancer and friend, Pete Astudillo, and songwriter/scriptwriter, John Garza. As a teenager, Astudillo used to use the phrase "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" to imitate the sound of the bass from his car stereo. John Garza heard him say it and thought it was a great phrase for a song.
