I'm all obsessed with acentos and signos de interrogación. "Because dear girl, every time a self-professed Hispanic celebrity rolls an improper R, an angel loses his wings." Jajaja, me dio MUCHA risa! I'm a born and raised Mexican living in Texas for a while and yes, a lot of people roll R's and stuff. For me, for my standard, they talk a little off. But that's me and the way I was educated and I learned Spanish. Yes, Selenita should have double-checked her Spanish. Maybe she will if she tries to get into Latin American market. Just like Selena did! Because THE Selena also talked a little off too, at least for Mexicans, and as far as I know she started to sing in Spanish without knowing what she was saying. And it's fine, it wasn't her native language. Bottom line, for know, I think Tex-Mex/Pocho Spanish will work for Selena Gomez. And I'm fine with that because I don't hear her music at all.

Pero, para serte completamente honesto, that's how Texans talk! Everything always sounds a little off, not by much, but just enough for someone like us to notice. But, once to look at the larger picture, you are almost impressed. These Mexicanos have been in Gringolandia so long, (some like to mention that they had the border cross them) and yet still preserve Spanish. Tal vez no sea el castellano de nuestra madre partria, but it's Spanish nonetheless. And if Selenita can inspire other pochitas to be proud of their language, more power to her I say. Aunque no sepa decir "razona". Before having spent a year in San Antonio, TX, I would have totally agreed! Pero, para serte completamente honesto, that’s how Texans talk!

But from a marketing point of view, again, she can't have her empanada and eat it, too. Haters (like me) are always going to hate.
