And the Grammy goes to... Selena :

"Um, I would like to thank the company EMI Latin, Jose Berhar, uh, for making tonight possible and having faith in us, putting faith in us four years ago. I would also like to thank my band Los Dinos, my father Abraham Quintanilla, my brother who's the producer of my music, and my sister, thank you for all the support, and I would like to thank the EMI Latin Family thank you for having faith in me, I love you."

Her account of what happend;

"We got up and screamed. It was the pre-telecasted part of the awards and there was maybe like 10 of us sitting in one row towards the back of the place, we showed up kina late. Like always, I'm always late for everything and they announced me as the winner and I was like 'Oh My God'. We all stood up and we screamed and I was wearing this crystal beaded gown and I remember going down, cause its kinda a slant, and thinking 'gee Selena if you fall, you are ganna be so embarrassed don't fall 'cause it had this fishtail in the back of it and I was trying to be cool walking up there, but it was great and thinking back now its an experience I'll never forget." "So you can imagine how I felt when they called my name. I cried in the back it was such a great feeling."

What happend after? Did Selena let fame go to her head?This is what selena said to the staff at EMI and one big reason people love her still.

"If you guys think this is gonna change Selena...you are wrong. I am and will always be the same Selena...no matter how much success we have!" "I just wanted each one of you to know that I really appreciate everything each one of you did to help me win the Grammy. I just wanted to come and say THANK YOU!!!"
