Beyonce Fans Over The Moon As She Meets With Selena In Netflix Series

Netflix has released the second season of Selena: The Series on May 4, starting a fan frenzy over the presence of a young Beyoncé.

The 39-year-old singer had revealed in an MTV meet that Selena has been an incredible effect on her from the start of her career.

Her fans are treated to cute run-in among her and the Tejano star in episode six, named “Los Más Bello” (which meant “The Most Beautiful”). The young Beyonce played by actress and singer Giovanna Bush gets a quick look at singing sensation Selena portrayed by Christian Serratos in a shopping centre’s parking area.

However, the young Beyonce appears to be scared to talk with Selena. “You’re a singer too, tell her,” Beyoncé’s mother tells her.

“Beyoncé Knowles, you better learn not to be afraid of people if you ever wanna be famous too,” her mom says.

The clip has Beyonce’s music fans talking. “Adding the moment Beyoncé and Selena crossed paths in the series was cute. A lot of folks don’t understand the influence Selena had on us Texans. Spanish speaking or not. We loved her,” a fan said.

Exactly! It was cute and it was meaningful. A future star (Beyonce) seeing a woman (Selena) who would go on to inspire other future stars in one way shape or form. She might not have been a HUGE influence on Beyonce’s career, but she did help her, as she said in an interview

As for Selena, she didn’t know that she just met a future star who would be inspired by her. It’s bittersweet to think that Selena wouldn’t know this or get to see just how many people she inspired with her life/story. Not just in Texas, but all across the country and world

Houston-born Beyoncé also discussed this famous gathering. “I did actually meet Selena in The Galleria mall in Houston, but I didn’t say much to Selena because I wasn’t a celebrity and I just saw her and said, ‘Hello’ and kept it moving,” Beyoncé said in 2007.

“Definitely growing up in Texas, I heard her on the radio and I think listening to her album, even though I didn’t know exactly what she was singing, it helped me in the studio with my pronunciation. … I think she is a legend and I admire her. And she was so talented, so I’m very happy that even though she didn’t know who I was, I’m still so excited that I got that opportunity.”

The series focuses on the Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla’s rise to fame. Watch the Netflix series trailer here:
