On another note...
I found the Gags situation kinda funny because Britney had been mocked for her bum knee (the start of my Britney/Gaga comparisons,) and because Madonna had posted a picture of Frida Kahlo on IG two days before it happened. (still think M cursed her, TBH. No one ****s with the Queen.)

Unlike J. Lo, she was actually born and raised in a Latin country and her music wasn't nearly as Americanized as J. Lo's (until her massive flop of a self-titled album, but it was let slip).
Helps that she's seen as this humble humanitarian figure and reserved half her discography for the Spanish speaking community while J. Lo made no secret that she was a huge diva trying to make as much money possible off a successful Hollywood career.

Interesting, interesting. Guess it goes without saying that y'all don't use X or Gomez.

Wasn't alive during her reign, but from what my mother tells me and some research, she was starting to break out right as she died. I Could Fall in Love was apparently a huge hit in the U.S. (#1 for 9 weeks on radio), but didn't chart because it wasn't physically released.
She was a huge star in Central America during her days, and she had a touching backstory/very humble personality, which probably contributed to her still being remembered 2 decades later.

Remembered is an understatement. They had a festival celebrating her life in her hometown last year. And nobody ever really has anything bad to say about her.
