She needs to be able to actually sing like Linda if she's gonna play her.

Bohemian rhapsody

I'm not sure she has the range for this, but I wish her well and hope it turns out great!

As someone who’s not American, I don’t know who Linda is but I’m intrigued

Look her up she’s amazing  rock and roll hall of fame inductee. She is one of the most versátiles performers and singers  of all time. I recommend her documentary “the sound of my voice “

I guess now, at least according to ATRL, actors must be able to sing like the singers they're portraying. :zzz:

This isn't a good idea though. Audiences will really know what Selena's singing voice sounds like, so if she sings and it doesn't sound like her it will take the audience away from the scene

TMZ reporting that Linda personally approved this pick.

 

I’m…surprised. Hard to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I’ll wait til’ it comes out.

It didn’t distract in Bohemian Rhapsody and it got Rami the Oscar so :michael:

They surprisingly look a lot alike.

 

I barely know anything about Linda's life but I think that Selena is a good enough actress to do a good job.

 

I don't know why some people are concerned by her singing? There have been tons of biopics (Selena's, Edith Piaf's, Queen's) where the actors lip synced to the real person's voice, Selena is better off doing that too.

The audience isn't familiar with Rami's singing voice like they are with Selena's though

Who will be doing the singing and the acting then?

Biopics are an entirely different beast just from an acting standpoint - I don’t buy this comparison.

Does this even have a director attached or a script? I couldn’t see anything mentioned beyond Selena’s casting.

i'm sorry but :toofunny3:

I've never seen her act in something serious so this may be interesting.
