How is this happening so fast?
Well y’all we have an incredible show
today, we are talking about one of the biggest icons of the Latino community
Selena Quintanilla - a queen a forever inspiration for so so many of us and the
subject of Netflix's show: Selena: The Series
And we are so
honored to have Selena's sister - again, Queen of Queens - Suzette Quintanilla as our
special guest today to talk about her work
preserving Selena's legacy. Kudos to her and her role as executive
producer of the show Julissa - are you ready to Go Off?
GIRL - let’s Go Off!
[“Como La Flor” plays]
Suzette?! Are you kidding me??
You know I've met her before Jess
What? -- I met her for like 10 minutes
When i used to do like videos and we did
an interview on her. She doesn't probably remember me, but
it's okay because I have a picture of her and I'm obsessed
Love her, love her energy, I'm excited to talk to her again today
Oh today's gonna be a good one Jess. Jess, what is your
earliest memory of Selena? Do you Do you remember that? Do you have one?
I remember listening to her her music in Spanish. I didn't only
look up to her, like i wanted to be her like she just had this like light about
her and then the fact that she's so family oriented
and her music and that body yottie yottie because hot damn hottie annie like you
body ottie ottie
like could keep that going --Like for days
I remember having her Amor Prohibido CD
and i was how old? I was so young. I also had a
friend recently tell me “Oh my god, i remember the day she died
only because you wouldn't stop crying and here I am how many years later still
feeling like that happened yesterday and still talking about her legacy
i think for me i always talk about this because i have such a big mouth and lips
and she has this big mouth and you saw her laugh all the time and
it was never like her shying away from these lips from this
body from this mouth from the way she didn't speak Spanish
she owns every part of her and I think I relate to her more now
than I did ever. And just the representation too, like growing up in
Orlando like, there were a lot of Puerto Ricans, a lot of Cubans, but like
there weren't a huge community of Mexicans
so to grow up having her i was just like yeah you want representation
that's me right there boo. That's my people.
What would she have been now? Would there have been like a JLo?
If Selena wasn't gone. Would Selena be like how we talk
and how we worship Beyonce now? And how we're like “the Queen of Queens?”
that's Selena right? Could you imagine having both of them?
Could you imagine a Super Bowl show with Selena and Beyonce they would have
They would’ve collabed! But how beautiful is it that she did all
the things that she did in those years that till this day we are still
listening to her music and still talking about her as if she's
still here
[Music]
Why are you crying?
No!
All those years of watching you do your designs and saying you're gonna have a
clothing line and...
It is the one and only Suzette Quintanilla!
Hi Ladies y'all look amazing!
You’re kind of of a big deal, a little bit of a legend, don't know if you know that and,
And Executive Producing like how many hats are we trying to wear??
How long has this process actually been in the works?
This has been in the making for like, three years, I believe
I'm really excited that everybody loved the season one and they're getting ready
for season two! To be able to tell our family story of a
Mexican-American family is like -- that alone is what makes me super
proud and super honored to be able to tell our family story on
such a huge platform such as Netflix. Sothank you so much Netflix, I cannot say
that enough.
And how does it feel for like this new generation
of like younger kids to now be like fans of Selena and
because of the series. It's incredible - I - it's it's kind of like
also something that's unexplainable as well
you know what i mean? Clearly I mean Selena had
so many beautiful things about her you want to watch her i mean who doesn't
want to watch Selena? Like she's beautiful
and she's captivating and she sings amazing and she's got this
amazing body and she's got this enormous personality.
You know, I almost heard I got teary eyed a little bit because
you're like saying all these things about how you're explaining Selena
and it's so crazy for me to hear that it's like her sister talking about her like--
I had a great relationship with my
sister. I don't know how things are with everybody else but
she would - ooo, she would take my Mascara. She would take my sunglasses
like you know after everything and after she passed away
We went to Chris's house and just reminded
this kind of popped into my head right now. And I remember were --
my mom and i and my cousins were helping pack up her things and
um I found my sunglasses that i hadn't found
I found also this necklace that i let her
like she borrowed and she never returned and it was like already almost a year
that i hadn't seen it and she couldn't remember
what she did with it and then i found it so it was kind of cool and I was like
yeah this is typical Selena man. Would she ever come to you and be like “is this
is this crazy?” Like “does this look right?” like because i saw you know at one point
when she dyed her hair and in your family in the show everybody
was like actually actually they didn't make it
seem as dramatic as it actually really was. We just signed the
contract with our record label - with EMI and in there it states that you're not
supposed to change your look you know, and she went and changed her
look right before a photo shoot and if you actually go and find the
actual cover to the Ven Conmigo album -- if you look you can see a black
dye right here if you look at very close you can see the patch
where she didn't clean it off right.
Another thing that's so relatable to me
specifically is the fact that her Spanish wasn't perfect.
I related to that so much because I always felt like I was less
Latino because i didn't speak Spanish because people would tell me yes all the
time all the time well i did feel like that because whenever we
crossed over into Mexico, I totally feel you on that
Selena even said this in interviews you know - I'm not embarrassed of
my culture, of who I am My heritage is from Mexico but
i am American, and it's okay to have the two worlds
It's just that this is -- I’m in Texas girl and this is how we talk.
Now,everybody knows that “Dreaming of You” is a forever classic
What are the biggest dreams left for yourself and for your family after
accomplishing so much? I’ve actually never been
asked that honestly...
Welcome to Go Off baby!
Yeeessss!
The only thing that I can say is that since losing Selena, like
I don't look at life the same. When you go through losing your
your your sibling and having to mourn her
publicly and going through the trial and just you just
I've been through a lot throughout the years, and I just
ultimately, I've always come back to the same thing -- you know what
as long as I'm happy, as long as I have my family
I'm good and really that is the God honest truth.
I've learned to not carry around feelings or hate towards the person that
took her from us, I think that that - It's the journey is what I'm trying to
say it's the journey of where i'm at in my life right now
I've had to do a lot of wusa and a lot of
soul searching, a lot of depression, “I don't want to be here”
moments in my life. If anybody thinks that
um going through this without her is something easy, it's not
but I'm in a good place, I really am. I really am.
We see it and we feel it. We really really do Suzette.
Thank you.
It was such a pleasure speaking with you, Oh my God!
Thank you so much.
I can't wait to hear what you guys think about
at the end of season two. And I'm gonna say this I hope
ultimately at the end of the day it will inspire us Latinos
you know to showcase our stories and what we're bringing to the table
artistically. Absolutely - and I think this show's definitely going
to do that for us. I want you to stay here the rest of the show
Dp you want to watch Bridgerton with us later?
He’s so good looking - the gentleman
Wow! Like a little too much. -- If you're ever in Texas
make your way to Corpus, let me know. Y'all have my email and all that and
we'll definitely meet up. We are so excited. Yes!! Oh thank you mama
Thank you! -- It was good talking to you guys, take care!
You too!
“Let's hang out” What you -- ?? We got invited to the barbecue!
Now - as Selena the series makes clear, living in the limelight comes with unique
challenges - whether you're Selena or whether you're Daphne Bridgerton
Luckily, Selena didn't have to contend with Lady Whistledown,
and as it turns out, Whistledown wasn’t the only one spilling the chisme in the ‘Ton.
Miss Prudence F--
That’s what happens when you drink tea instead of a cafecito.
I don’t know what I would do
without my café con leche every morning.
Where do you find café con leche in London?
I have my people.

Yo that ball was lit.

Mmm hmmm.
Why are you pacing like that?
Girl you look crazy.
You’re making me dizzy.
I am engaged.
And I’m DYING.
READ THE ROOM DAPHNE.
Now Jess--
FUCK!
Let’s show support for our girl Daphne and The Prince
who she’s known all of two days...
No,
I am engaged to The Duke.
Did this bitch just say The Duke?
The Duke asked for my hand and I accepted.
Oh! And you ‘AcCePtEd?’
Ohh, you BIG mad!
Whatever. Okay?
He is not no Mondrich.
Girl he’s MARRIED.
I’ve heard a rumor...
It is not a rumor Your Majesty,
it is a FACT.
The Earl of Essex has arrived,
and he is FINE as hell.
ES - SEX your majesty.
Those little nalgas in those leggings?? Dios MIO.
Oh my GOD, and his eyes are so damn piercing!
I’m pretty sure he wears eyeliner though.
But I am INTO IT.
I’m not quite sure what you believe I am to do about it...
INTRODUCE US.
Cause I am tryin to SWIM in that gene pool!
I am tryin to drink it, be in it,
lick it--
Your Majesty.
Respectfully.
Don’t kill us.
I hate to Irish goodbye but the food at that party was nasty.
Yo I know. These people never heard of salt or something?
Do you wanna go to Granville’s?
Mmm, YUP!
I heard Prince Royce is playing.
Yo! You know - I heard he’s not a prince.
NO.
Yo, what about you Red?
You wanna come?
Yeah she wants to go!
Look at her feelin’ herself.
So ladies...
Shall we compare notes?
Julissa it's Fan Love time!
I have two younger brothers. I am
emotional slash communicative, but they aren't. I
don't know how to talk to them. hmm Well I got brothers so I can tell you -
It's different I know I can take charge with my little
brother and I can steer so many different things if I want to talk to
him i talk to him, I'm like -hey, get off the phone, I need to talk to you
Like it's more of like bossy big sis, so I think that
you can take a little bit more control - Train them!!
i feel like everyone i know that's like the oldest sibling, like has like trained
their younger ones to like do whatever they yeah
What you got over there? What you got? -- Honestly, advice on how to make friends
as an adult would be great! “How do you make friends as an adult?”
I just honestly for me making friends is all about authenticity. because like I
don't want for you to make friends with my
representative. You're gonna be friends with who this bitch is and that's on
And that’s on period!
What else you got girl?
I feel like the relationship I have
with my older brother is sort of slipping away. We are going to
lose contact. Why? I need more context!
Just have a talk with him - and just be like “Yo, what's up bro? Like what's going on, I
feel like we slipping away.” i think the thing that's been linear
through this whole conversation is communication.
Jess, I can probably tell you more about how I feel than I can tell my
brothers. Isn't that weird? Why is that? I think it's because of the
way we were raised [Laughter]
And I think that one of the times that I've seen some vulnerability and us
being like a little bit emotional was recently with my grandmother passing.
We were able to just like - we were shedding tears right? We were like yo
are you okay? Yo, you good? My little brother's hugging me, like
things that like we don't do on the everyday basis.
It's a dialogue that needs to happen where you are constantly checking in
with each other so you don't have to go through a
tragedy which you unfortunately had to in order to feel your brother's embrace
for a while You know, it shouldn't have to get to
that point for you to feel that. You know, a life is too short
so you should feel that as often as possible.
Yeah, you are absolutely right.
The doctor is in!
Jess! What an awesome awesome episode today!! Are you kidding me??
Suzette Quintanilla was here! She spoke to us! She invited us to join
her family for the rest of our lives! Of course we had the fan love and we
were doctors per usual, the prescriptions were prescribed!
And we still got more for you y'all! The next episode
is our finale! So please please tune in, it's going to be a very
very special episode with a little bit of surprises, a little bit of love advice,
Love and relationship - and because we're going to be talking about love
and relationships, we're going to give you MORE sass. MORE LOVE.
MORE cleavage!
[Laughter] Stay right here. Make sure you are
subscribed to Netflix.
And remember -
GO OFF!
