Selena's crossover dreams will never be fully realized, but the promise of what might have been is showcased on Greatest Hits, a 16-song collection of the late Tejano singer's English-language recordings. The handsomely packaged tribute includes the native Texan's biggest hits, the shimmering ballads "I Could Fall in Love" and "Dreaming of You." However, it's the lesser-known songs that make Greatest Hits a real keepsake. "Don't Throw Away My Love" rides a pulsing freestyle groove; "A Million to One" is a lighthearted pop ditty; and the live "Disco Medley" showcases Selena at full throttle. Greatest Hits also features "Where Did the Feeling Go?" and "Is It The Beat," two pop gems originally included on the Selena motion picture soundtrack. Best of all are "God's Child (Baila Conmigo)," a flamenco-flavored duet with David Byrne, and Selena's searing rendition of the West Side Story showstopper "A Boy Like That." Those two recordings stand as some of Selena's best work in any language. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:
not all the greatest hits.......2007-01-13
Outstanding collect of songs in both english and spanish from beautiful Tex-Mex tejano singer, cut down in her young prime.......2006-09-28
Fan Club leader. Selena was well on her way
to replacing the (phony) 'MaDonna's and
Cheryl Crow(breaths) of the world of 'Pop
Muzak', when it happened. Shows what danger
lies in the Cults. Her grave in Texas is still
mobbed with well wishers and flowers, as it
should be. Hasta luego, Princess!
The English Album-What the I'm Dreaming of You album should have been 10 years ago........2006-02-19
2. I Could Fall In Love-A pretty song and a pretty huge hit in the late-mid-nineties.
3. Captive Heart-A sexy and fun song with a lot of passion.
4. I'm Getting Used To You-Is a pretty good song...until you get used to it. Then its just plain old good.
5. God's Child-I like the sentiment but just don't like the song so much.
6. Dreaming of You-This song was a huge hit and a fan favorite-but I'm so over it.
7. Missing My Baby-Another good song that is slightly dated. It totally has the early nineties vibe to it.
8. Wherever You Are-A song which was made so cool back in the day by the merging of the then hot band Barrio Boyz and a leaving her band behind Selena. The video for this song screams 90s!
9. Only Love-The best heartbreak ballad she ever recorded that still holds up. Its a good song to listen to while you're driving and crying over a lost love.
10. A Million To One-Her best upbeat tune that still holds up.
11. Where Did The Feeling Go?-A song that while is sung beautifully now has a slightly "cheesey" sound to it.
12. Is It The Beat?-Her best dance song-slightly dated but still so much fun to listen to, so upbeat and just all around uplifting!
13. A Boy Like That-Not my favorite song from the musical and a little too goth to be enjoyable. Kind of haunting.
14. Always Mine-SPANGLISH ALERT! A song that is definetly from "those" times!
15. Don't Throw My Love Away-An enjoyable remix of 'My Love'.
16. Disco Medley: I Will Survive/Funkytown/Last Dance/The Hustle/On The Radio-Studio recordings don't do her justice. Listen to her live to know why Selena's legacy and legend live on!
Great Collection Of Selena Hits.......2006-02-03
However there are some very strong Selena hits presented here. I know they are ALL in English and none in spanish so the album does seem a little un-fair, but so many classic Selena songs are on here. Basically All of the songs she was planning to put on her English Debuet recorded with EMI records. You could think of this as the Finished "Dreaming Of You".
Her Two massive U.S. Radio Hits "I Could Fall In Love" and "Dreaming Of You" are included in this collection. They are her two best songs. The Radio Hits are certainlly not the only enjoyable songs on here. "My Love" is a Great R'n'B Pop song and really shows the Fly Girl side Selena opittimized so well.
This track even though short was extremely catchy, and could have been a single. "Missing My Baby" is another sparkling R'n'B tune that is kind of Lovey - Dovey and Cute. Good Song.
"I'm Getting Used To You" is another smooth track the album has to offer. Not as good as the previous two, but certainlly not a bad song.
The Flamenco Tinged "Always Mine" is a fun track that will no boubt get you up and dancing. It has some Spanish language pieces in it, and sounds great. Other song to get you up and dancing are the Club Like "Is It The Beat" which is one of the albums highlights. Two other good Selena ballads are showcased here. The rarely heard R'n'B ballad "Only Love" and early love song attempt "Where Did The Feeling Go" were previously unreleased on a Selena album, and make this compilation a real keeper. Selena's tribute to the "West Side Story" Soundtrack "A Boy Like That" which is a smooth Groove Ballad is also included here, so overall though this album Offers none of her Cumbia hits it has plenty of Tejano, and Mainstream Hits. I reccommend buying this over "Dreaming Of You" anyday, because this gives you a lot more for your money, and is definetly worth it. If You want some of Selena's Cumbia Rhythms I suggest purchasing "Selena - Live" or "Unforgettable - The Live Album" because Selena's Cumbia Songs are always heard best when she sings live, because the intensity and Rhythm is captured and these albums show Selena's true talent as a performer. This is one of Selena's best Compilations and has plenty to offer for any Selena fan. It is a Must Own.

SELENA IS STILL THE TEJANA QUEEN.......2005-10-23
I am here looking to purchase another one. I have already bought 2 but need more. I have one for myself and buy more for gifts. I have viewed the DVD So many times I never get tired of it. When I first purchased her Greatest Hits, I was very pleasantly surprised that it contained a DVD.
Everyone I know from my grandaughters to nieces and daughters and Me ,especially love all of Selena's music and especially her Greatest Hits with DVD, I highly recommend it. I think I need another one for myself for back up, :O)
just in case.
