The exception is "Siempre Hace Frio," an exquisite mariachi ballad originally recorded for use in the movie Don Juan de Marco.

"This CD is really awesome! I was surprised at how great the remixed songs sounded. My 3 favorite have to be Ya No, Costumbres & Cien Anos. Costumbres & Cien Anos were beautifully remixed!! The new Ya No version rocks! (It's probably my most favorite on this album!) ALL the songs on this album are great! No question about it... this Album deserves it's 5 stars! Selena sings with all her heart and soul!"
Thank you for this album, Abraham Quintanilla!

""Siempre Selena"is my favorite album after "Amor Prohibido".Selena`s father has chosen her most beautiful songs to put in it. The best song is "Soy amiga", I still can`t believe our queen is not here to sing other hits like that. "Cien años"is also very good,it is one of her best Mariachi style music. One of the reasons everybody should listen to this album is because of "Tu robaste mi corazon", a duet with Pete Astudillo.I think it is her most beautiful ballad, and this version is much better than the original. If you want to buy a treasure, you must buy "Siempre Selena"."
A Fine Introduction to Selena The Whole Entertainer.

"I LOVE THAT CD AND IT REALLY MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR IT BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF SELENA OF COURSE AND SHE WAS A VERY GOOD SINGER. HOPE- FULLY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LEARN THAT BY VIOLENCE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM, MAYBE THEY SHOULD JUST TALK, THAT WAY A TRAGEDY CAN BE AVOIDED."
