Dubbed the Mexican Madonna, it can only be imagined what heights the career of Selena would have reached had she not have been killed two weeks before her 24th birthday. Though she was not widely known in the Anglo world prior to her death, she was a massive star in Texas and the undisputed queen of Tejano Music. She was on the cusp of an English language breakthrough before her death and could have potentially conquered that world the same as she did the Latin one. Still considered an icon, it is not impossible that the Hall may recognize her accomplishments (and potential ones).
