Of Kim Kardashian West's four icons-themed Halloween looks, fans have the most to say about her [...]

A few compared her rhythm less to the pop star's and more to Elaine's famous dancing scene from Seinfeld.

Others honed in on Kardashian West's attempt at lip syncing to a Selena hit, one she apparently didn't know by heart.

Selena was a music and fashion icon referred to as the Queen of Tejano music for her hits in the early '90s.
At 25 years old, the celebrity was shot and killed in 1995 by Yolanda Saldívar, her friend and former manager of her fashion boutique collection.

Selena superfans blasted Kardashian West's post with reactions using photos or GIFs of the late star.
The singer left an enduring legacy on the world of music and is set to receive a posthumous star on the Walk of Fame on Friday. She was also the subject of a recent Google Doodle chronicling her life. Late last year, MAC cosmetics company released a collection of makeup inspired by her style.

Other followers pointed out Kardashian West's ample assets in the video clips, which have been the topic of speculation for years. Selena was also known for having a curvy figure and round booty, but fans don't see the connection between the her body and the reality star's.

"Demi did it better":
Though Kardashian West's elaborate costumes — which also included looks as Cher, Madonna and Aaliyah — suggest she planned them well in advance, followers couldn't help but dig at her for "copying" Demi Lovato, who wore a similar look a few days earlier.

Fans praised Lovato for her impersonation of the Mexican-American music icon, but slammed Kardashian West for the same costume.
Their reasoning is that Lovato, who sang a track on a Quintanilla tribute album, has found musical inspiration from the late singer who "bridged the gap for latinas in pop music." On the other hand, they asked Kardashian West if she even knew anything about the icon.

Another 'offensive' look:
The middle Kardashian sister's Selena look isn't the only one that's taken heat this Halloween.
Over the weekend, she dressed as another late musical icon, Aaliyah, and fans slammed the celebrity for cultural appropriation of the African-American R&B singer.
First she disrespected Aaliyah and now Selena? ??

Selena's supporters found the costume and accompanying song and dance moves to be disrespectful of the murdered singer.
Seriously??? I don't think she knows who Selena was!! ???????
