Selena

She was a singer, performer and designer and broke barriers in the industry of music. She was simultaneously modern and traditional. She was an Mexican American who united the two worlds together in a distinct way. Her untimely death splintered her rise in popularity, and it is what happens often the moment a brilliant, warm singer dies too young, it left many to mourn all the untapped potential. Fans have struggled over the years in order to ensure that her legacy is kept alive. Selena is the Tejano performer who fatally shot dead in a shooting accident, sparked the Latino reaction that could be compared with the response to the deaths of Elvis Presley and John Lennon's death. She was an incredibly popular singer among Latinos in North America. But her songs touched the hearts of both young and old. Selena has been called by certain people as an Latina Madonna, but she's still a fantastic character model. Selena's values of family life offstage and involvement in AIDS awareness efforts make her a good example.
