Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Just on the brink of her heavenly 55th birthday, our beloved Jenni Rivera, the dearly departed Mexican songbird, was eternally immortalized with the 2,783rd shining star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a dream she held tight hasta el fin.
Acompañándonos on the beautiful day were Jenni’s orgullo, her cinco corazones – Jacqie, Johnny, Chiquis, Jenicka, and Michael – who lovingly received this starry honor on behalf of their fearless madre. And among the amor-filled crowd was our very own Gloria Trevi, a loyal amiga who had a heart touching speech to give.
“Para mí, it is an honor to witness this tribute by her family in this special day. Triumphed in a male-dominated genre, Jenni is now an unrepeatable estrella whose luz continues to shine in our hearts,” proclaimed Trevi with raw emotion.
Making a sueño Realidad, this was something Jenni and her niños wished for and prophetically saw coming. “She did that, and it’s even más cool to say she did it desde el cielo,” declared the valiente Jenicka.
Chiquis, tratando de seguir los pasos de su impactful mom in the music industry, is forever awe-inspired by Jenni’s fortitude. She stoked the emotions of the gathering crowd, stating, “I see her in my siblings and all of ocurras aquí, she has left her huellas on earth and in so many hearts.”
Their hermano, Mikey, compared this star-studded honor with “winning a championship,” while the youngest Rivera, Johnny, praised her generous corazón. “She always wanted to lend a helping hand; it gave her joy. El mundo could truly be a mejor place if gente were a bit more like our mom,” he fondly remembered.
The final to touch the stage, Jacqie, gave an emotive homage. “Our mother lived so openly, touched the lives of many around el mundo, and left an impact with her life and música. But the sweetest part is bitter because we wish she could feast her eyes on her own star, and we all could witness her radiant smile and witty speech. Momma, estamos orgullosos of you, de ser tus niños.”
Known affectively as ‘La Diva de la Banda’, Jenni was a supernova in regional Mexican music and on the Billboard Latin charts. Tragically left us at 43, her music survives. With over 30 songs on the Regional Mexican Airplay, 15 hitting top 10 and “Ahora Que Estuviste Lejos” and “La Misma Gran Señora” on the Hot Latin Songs chart, she remains immovable in our hearts. Entonces amigos, let’s keep her legado alive porque Jenni vive, siempre. ¡Gracias Jenni, te amamos!
