Infobox

File:Bidibidibombom.jpg --> Max allowable size is 300 by 300 pixels, so you can upload a slightly bigger version.
No internal wikilink to the release history per WP:IBX.
Correct wikilinks for CD single, Cassette etc.
Recording locations need source.
If you include Latin Pop as a genre, you don;t need to separately include Latin.
Alternate cover fails WP:NFCC#3a and should be removed.

Lead

Bidi Bidi Bom Bom was the second lead single released from her album Amor Prohibido (1994) --> Please combine with the previous sentence.
The song was written and produced by Selena, A.B. Quintanilla III, Pete Astudillo, and Chris Pérez. --> Contradicts with the infobox
The song is also equivalent of a Cinderella fairytale story. --> Howe can a song be equivalent to a story. Please explain properly else remove.
The next part of the lead reads like a who's-who fancruft of award lists, and usage of words like "highly liked" etc makes it gross unencyclopedic. Also you swhould know, song titles are not italicized. So the name of the song when you mention in the article should be "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and not Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.
Disap;pointed with the second para. You should copy-edit it completely.

Background

was a pinpoint song for women empowerment and controllability of their emotions towards men. --> How and "controllability"??
It was written and produced by Selena, A.B. Quintanilla III, Pete Astudillo and Chris Pérez. --> contradiction
Album names on the other hand are italicized.
Consecutive mention that its a song from her fifth album. We get it!
When you mention a person's full name already, custom is to mention only the surname from then onwards. So only Quintanilla, Perez etc.
Chris Perez added his solo guitar sounds and rhythms, which later transformed into a reggae sound --> How can a guitar sound be transformed to reggae?
Selena's harmony????
which originally was about a fish living in the ocean--> Umm, what?
Paved the way for "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", a song about a women who sees a man walk by, and which makes her heart beat faster. --> Why is sentence beginning like this?
Selena leaked the song, before recording sessions began --> artist's dont leak their own song, she performed it live.

OK I give up. This article is just plain bad English. Just awful. I haven't even gone the unsourced content in it, coupled with the unreliable source usage like guitar tabs, link rots like copyvio youtube videos, Veoh??, WP:NFCC failing samples... and the list goes on. This should have been a quick-fail had I not been held up with other reviews. Failing this. I'm disappointed that one of my favorite Selena songs got a crappy article. Please get it thoroughly copy-edited, and consult songs which are GAs or recent FA songs like "4 Minutes" to know what you are lacking. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
