Selena's crossover dreams will never be fully realized, but the promise of what might have been is showcased on Greatest Hits, a 16-song collection of the late Tejano singer's English-language recordings. The handsomely packaged tribute includes the native Texan's biggest hits, the shimmering ballads "I Could Fall in Love" and "Dreaming of You." However, it's the lesser-known songs that make Greatest Hits a real keepsake. "Don't Throw Away My Love" rides a pulsing freestyle groove; "A Million to One" is a lighthearted pop ditty; and the live "Disco Medley" showcases Selena at full throttle. Greatest Hits also features "Where Did the Feeling Go?" and "Is It The Beat," two pop gems originally included on the Selena motion picture soundtrack. Best of all are "God's Child (Baila Conmigo)," a flamenco-flavored duet with David Byrne, and Selena's searing rendition of the West Side Story showstopper "A Boy Like That." Those two recordings stand as some of Selena's best work in any language. --Joey Guerra
