DVD Reviews of Selena Live - The Last Concert
DVD Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my wife and she loved it. She is a huge Selena fan and this product added to her enthusiasm. Great product for any Selena fan.DVD Review: Best Selena Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I just saw it one night on Univision. I was so impress with her performance. Her dance moves and her outfit that goes so well together. She could dance so well in those boots. I really love her purple sequin outfit and the silver boots look so good on her. It just matches her skin complexion, her curvy body, and her hair color. She had all the elements of what a true stage performer has. I had mixed emotions while watching this...it made me happy and sad. Her smile made me miss her even more. She did had the nicest smile. I like the part when two of her back-up singers were dancing. You should have see the way they were moving. I enjoyed listening to all her songs...especially the ones in the 70s. I had so much fun watching her performed. I really wish I could still see her perform now. It was very special to me...especially at the end she was riding in a car, waving and smiling to all her fans. It must felt so good to be the one who's shining. She was truly a star. Selena did a really good job on her performance. Her singing and dancing abilities were awesome! I miss her so much. She was so special and talented. I would watch this concert again if I had the DVD.
DVD Review: Wonderful

I am a huge fan of Selena. Selena Live -Last Concert revealed her remarkable talent. It was also sad because it was her last concert. I wished her family would put out more DVD's. There is millions of Selena fans would purchase every concert. The last concert was great.. DVD Review: The Holy Grail of Selena's Legacy; Essential!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Last Concert" fully captures the magic and charisma of Selena at the zenith of her art as a singer, dancer, and interpreter, and of her renown as a beloved icon of her community. By February, 1995, the time of the Astrodome spectacular it documents, Selena had achieved utter mastery of her singing and visual style, her sublimely graceful dancing, her rich, haunting mezzo-soprano, her fabled self-designed wardrobe, her incandescent natural beauty, her meticulous balance between sensuality and wholesome innocence, her legendary rapport with her audience and fans, and not the least, Spanish, her second language. Her material here ranging from hard-driving disco (in English) to soulful ballads of broken love to fun "get up and dance" cumbia numbers, Selena's musical, emotional, artistic, stylistic and dramatic intelligence here beget a gripping, ebullient, lovable performance that will beguile and hold any sensitive heart forever. Selena's dramatic range of -affekts-, facial expressions, vocal inflections, timing, dance and physical moves small and grand, all responsive to the words and emotions of the songs, are mesmerizing: one cannot turn one's eyes from this dazzlingly beautiful, captivating young woman radiating energy, joy, and charm at the top of her game. Here we see Selena the completed, perfected world-class superstar who was just stepping onto the world stage when a month later tragedy struck. The crowning jewel of her recorded and video legacy, "The Last Concert" merits a place among the most compelling live performances recorded by anyone ever.
All but the opening disco medley of the concert are Spanish-language songs. If you speak Spanish, have learned or want to learn some Spanish, or just grab the texts and translations of these songs from the web (where they are ubiquitous), just as with an opera, you will even more appreciate Selena's matchless art and subtlety as you follow her interpretations of this repertoire (mostly written for her by her brother, A. B. Quintanilla, and bandmate Pete Astudillo). Knowledge of Spanish is not necessary to appreciate "The Last Concert", but it will vastly deepen your appreciation.
The single "DVD extra", the documentary on the making of the 1997 Jennifer Lopez (who cannot hold a candle to the real Selena on the latter's turf) movie by Greg Nava, is extremely interesting, but is just lagniappe to one of the most awe-inspiring and affecting live performances ever committed to video. One can raise minor quibbles and could-be-better's with respect to the packaging, but they are inconsequential in the shadow of this preserved diadem.
This DVD is required for anyone at all a fan, or in the least interested in learning about the art and life, of the late Selena Quintanilla P?rez. Those not familiar with the career of this remarkable woman should obtain the aforementioned biopic Selena (10th Anniversary Two-Disc Special Edition), too, and read the websites, to learn how she arrived at the magnificent level of accomplishment and artistry showcased here. "The Last Concert" is a thrilling, joyous, awesomely moving, and peerless bequest from the meteoric career of a martyred American giant.
Get it without hesitation, and lend it to (or buy it for) friends. Selena vive!
DVD Review: Enjoyed This Much More Than I Ever Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I never expected to enjoy this concert as much as I did. This is a very high energy concert with Selena dancing and singing for around 50 minutes. She never stops moving for the entire concert and it is never boring. I was worried when she came out singing in English at the start, but the remainder of the songs after the first medley are in Spanish. I don't know much Spanish, but her singing is the best in Spanish, even though she does very well in English too. Anyone who likes good popular music should enjoy this concert. The DVD also has a nice feature that is quite interesting on the making of the movie about Selena's life. I have seen the movie and it wasn't overly impressive, but this feature shows how much effort went into that movie and how much they tried to keep it as authentic as possible. A really nice bonus would have been to include the movie too, make it a 2-volume set or even a 3-volume by including the CD soundtrack of the concert. In any case, this DVD is a must for Selena fans, but would easily be enjoyed by those who have never heard of Selena. Very well filmed too for a live concert.

Media Type: DVD
Is it real, or is it J-Lo? Both, as it turns out. There are 55 minutes of the actual Selena here, filmed live at Houston's Astrodome in 1995. The 23-year-old Tejano singer performs her light, catchy tunes all in Spanish, save for a '70s disco medley (which includes, poignantly, "I Will Survive"); polished and charismatic, if not extraordinarily talented, Selena was clearly on the way up before her death at 23 at the hands of an employee. That she was later portrayed onscreen by Jennifer Lopez, who has eclipsed Selena's stardom by far, no doubt partly explains the inclusion on the DVD of a 45-minute documentary (truthfully, more like a lengthy puff piece for Entertainment Tonight) about the Selena biopic. If you want to know how the filmmakers made those tough decisions about hair, clothes, and lip-syncing, you will not be disappointed. But the real thing's better. --Sam Graham
