Lyrics: Cheers | |
Album Single Other | This MV is very interesting. It started with a man wearing a whole chunk of thick T-shirts walking to a cage like corner and as the music plays, he starts to strip his T-shirt piece by piece till end of the song.

Selena - Dreaming Of You (Original MV staring JLo)
Lyrics: Late at night when all the world is sleeping | |
"Dreaming Of You" is the first album recorded mostly in Spanish to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200, and it is the first by a Latino artist to accomplish that feat. Unfortunately the artist, Selena died from a gun shot wound during a live performance by her manager, Yolanda. The MV that I've put up here is linked to the tribute movie about the late artist staring JLo acting as her. Quite a touching movie detailing the up-lifting spirit, perserverance & endurance of the late artist in order to achieve success. This song "Dreaming Of You" has accompanied me on my many late night studies & is such a classic that radio is still playing these days. Definitely romantic! |
