You could sing in English and you were not going to feel like it was anything less than great. There was no pretense.
She later went to Miami, Florida to try her hand at singing. She was discovered by RKDA and became a member of the band as her singing was similar to that of Selena’s.

This is such an old pic. After I was asked by the editor of the fashion mag “Fashion Star” to take a photo for their magazine, I took this picture (and a few others) and one of my personal favorite pictures was this one. I got a good laugh out of seeing my sister in this pic. At the time I didn’t realize I took this picture, so I only had a small circle of people know this fact of me taking the picture.
