"Live!"[1][2][3] or "Selena Live!"[4][5][6] is a live album by American Tejano pop singer Selena, released on May 4, 1993 by EMI Latin. It was re-released on September 22, 2002 as part of the Selena: 20 Years of Music collection that included spoken liner notes by her family, friends and her former band Selena y Los Dinos. Live! includes three cumbia-influenced studio tracks, while the rest of the album consists of live versions of previously released songs. The album was recorded during a free concert at the Memorial Coliseum in Corpus Christi on February 7, 1993. It was certified gold (Latin type) by the Recording Industry Association of America in its first year, double platinum (Latin type) in 1995, and gold (standard) in 2002.

Live! led Selena to win an unprecedented feat in the Tejano market, by winning a Grammy Award for "Best Mexican/American Album" at the 36th Grammy Awards. It had won two awards from the 1994 Billboard Latin Music Awards and three awards at the 1994 Tejano Music Awards. Live! peaked at number one on the US Regional Mexican Albums, number two on the Top Latin Albums and number 79 on the Billboard 200. The album received mostly positive reviews from music critics who claimed the album was "foreshadowing" Amor prohibido (1994), and that Selena was the Mexican equivalent of Madonna, soon after Live! release. The album spawned three singles, which were simultaneously in the top 5 positions on the Hot Latin Tracks chart.

Production and development

After Selena had opened her boutiques in January 1993[7], she had decided to record a live album, while she focused on her clothing venture in Texas. On February 7, 1993, Selena held a free concert in front of 3,000 at the Memorial Coliseum in Corpus Christi.[8] The set list performed during the concert was released as a live album on May 4, 1993.[8] Pete Astudillo, who was a former backup singer for Selena y Los Dinos[9], remained touring with Selena on the Live! Tour.[10] The song "Perdóname", which is included in the track listing of the album, is performed as an original song by Astudillo.[11] The song was later released on his second studio album Como nadie (1993).[11] Another original song performed by Astudillo, "¿Porque le gusta bailar cumbia?", is included in the track listing of Live! and was released on Como nadie.[11] The three cumbia-influence tracks, "No debes jugar", "La llamada" and "Tú robaste mi corazón", are the only studio tracks on the album.[11][12]

Song structure and lyrical content

"No debes jugar", the lead single from Live!, was written and produced by Selena's brother and the producer of her music, A.B. Quintanilla III, lead keyboardist for the band Ricky Vela and Bebu Silvetti, an Argentine music producer.[11] "No debes jugar" is a Mexican cumbia[13] song influenced with rock that centers the organ as its musical instrument foundation.[12] Ramiro Burr of the Houston Chronicle stated that Selena had blended Mexican polka rhythms with melodic, synth-driven pop hooks in "No debes jugar" and "La llamada".[14] "No debes jugar" received a "Song of the Year" nomination at the 1994 Tejano Music Awards.[15][16] "No debes jugar" is performed on F major with 89 beats per minute.[17] Lyrically the song describes a woman whose life is centered around being unappreciated by her boyfriend. Tired and ready to do anything, she finally stands up for herself announcing that she is done playing around and threatens to leave. It peaked at number three on the US Hot Latin Tracks, Latin Regional Mexican Airplay and the Latin Pop Airplay charts simultaneously.[18]

"La llamada", the first promotional single released from Live!, was written and produced by Quintanilla III and former backup singer for the band, Pete Astudillo.[11] Howard Blumenthal wrote in his book The world music CD listener's guide that "La llamada" is an "energetic" song.[12] It is set in A major with 90 beats per minute.[17] "La llamada" describes a woman telling her boyfriend over the phone that she saw him kissing another girl, while her boyfriend tries to persuade to her that it was not him. It peaked at number five on the Hot Latin Tracks, number six on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay and number eight on the Latin Pop Airplay chart.[18] "Tú robaste mi corazón" is a duet with "The King of Tejano music" singer[19] Emilio Navaira. It was released as the second promotional single from Live! and was written and produced by Quintanilla III, Vela and Silvetti.[11] Howard Blumenthal wrote in his book The world music CD listener's guide that the song is a "great love duet".[12] Paul Verna wrote that Selena's fans were "not growing weary" of "Como quisiera" (Preciosa) and "Tú robaste mi corazón".[20] He also noted that the two songs were "slow-paced love songs" and were potential singles from the posthumous album Siempre Selena (1996).[20] "Tú robaste mi corazón" is composed in the key F major with 130 beats per minute.[17] The song describes a women and a man finding harmony and love in each other while also feeling emotions never felt before in their lives. "Tú robaste mi corazón" peaked at number five on the Hot Latin Tracks, number eight on the Latin Regional Mexican Airplay and number six on the Latin Pop Airplay charts.[18]

Release

Live! was released on May 4, 1993. It was certified gold (Latin type) by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of 50,000 copies in the United States its first year.[21] In 1997, Live! was then certified double platinum (Latin type) for shipments of 200,000 copies.[22] The album was the first Tejano album to have won a Grammy Award. Live! won the "Best Mexican/American Album" at the 36th Grammy Awards.[23] EMI Latin's president believed Selena was ready to record and release a crossover album that would have catapulted her career into the English-language market.[22][24][25] Selena was then signed with SBK Records in November 1993[26], however, recording for the album wouldn't begin until a year later.[27]

In May 1994, Live! had won the "Album of the Year", an award from the Billboard Latin Music Awards.[28] The album also led Selena to win "Regional Mexican Vocalist of the Year".[28] Live! sold more than 100,000 copies in Mexico.[29] At the 1994 Tejano Music Awards, Selena had won "Female Vocalist of the Year", "Album of the Year - Orchestra" and "Female Entertainer of The Year", while it was nominated for "Record of the Year".[30]

Commerical performance

Live! debuted at number 146 on the US Billboard 200 chart following Selena's murder on April 22, 1995. The album peaked at number 79 on May 13, 1995 before it slipped off the chart on June 3, 1995.[31] Live! debuted at number four on the Top Latin Albums chart, it then peaked at number three within three months of its release. The album remained on the chart, hovering the top 20 spots, respectively. Live! temporarily slipped off the charts and reentered at number 47 in January 1995, before it went off the chart again. The album took the third spot on the chart following Selena's murder. A week later, the album peaked at number two before it hovered the top 10 spots and then slipped off the charts a year later.[31] Live! debuted at number eight on the Latin Regional Mexican Albums chart, then slipped off the charts for nearly a month. It reentered and peaked at number one for seven consecutive weeks. The album hovered in the top 10 for two years. The album went to number two following Selena's murder.[31]

Sarah M. Misemer wrote in her book Secular saints: performing Frida Kahlo, Carlos Gardel, Eva Perón, and Selena that Live! and Amor prohibido (1994) were the two most successful albums of Selena's career.[33] Joey Guerra of Amazon.com wrote that Live! is a "sizzling reminder of [Selena's] electric stage charisma and blossoming talent as a performer". Guerra also stated that the songs performed live had showcased Selena's "uncanny ability to infuse a love song with both girlish innocence and a heated sexuality". He noted that "Como la flor", "Baila esta cumbia" and "La carcacha" were examples of his claims. He also states that any listener can feel the "heat seeping through your speakers". Guerra ended his review stating that Live! "foreshadows" Amor prohbidio (1994).[34] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote that Live! had offered proof of Selena being an "energetic [and] exciting performer". Erlewine noted that Selena performed live versions of her "most popular numbers" in front of an "enthusiastic audience". Erlewine ended his review stating that Live! had "capture[d] some of that energy and shows why she was so popular".[32] Shortly after the album's release music critics began calling Selena the Mexican equivalent of Madonna.[35]
