AB and his dad on Cristina; remembering Selena


The Quintanilla’s on Cristina is always a must-see.

Despite the negativity that often surrounds A.B. and his father, Abraham, I feel sympathetic toward them because of their loss. And in a way, I feel kind of proud of them and the fact that they are still out there making music and doing their thing despite a lot of the feelings against them. I like that Abraham publicly defended his son, who, no matter what he does, will always be his son.

I wished the show would have focused more on Selena as it was the 13th anniversary of her passing but life goes on, and I know the fans out there wanted to hear the scoop about the Kumbia All Starz, Pee Wee, DJ Kane and AB’s new girlfriend (who he clarified was NOT a Russian bride who he purchased – that was too funny).

I’m excited about DJ Kane’s return to Kumbia All Starz as I always thought that he was the strongest vocalist and his tenure with the band produced what I thought were the best albums (Amor, Familia y Respeto and Shhh!). Maybe the drama will end – at least for a while – so AB can get back to what he does best: making music. That would be his best tribute to his sister.

Speaking of tributes...and not to leave you on a sad note, check this out:

"The Best Selena Tribute Ever" -- PerezHilton.com
This is a YouTube clip that Perez Hilton had on his site. Her name is Robyn McGhee and apparently she likes to sing Spanish music while at work. She is actually pretty good. Here she is singing "Si Una Vez."
