DVD Review: Ricky Martin at His Best - One of The Best Music Video Collections Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Four-time Grammy winner Ricky Martin has been one of the best entertainers in show business for over 15 years now and this excellent career retrospective of his music videos well illustrate what a versatile, appealing vocalist he is (as well as being one of the best-looking men on the planet in case you hadn't noticed LOL). This collection is almost exclusively of Spanish songs but you don't have to know the language to enjoy the music and the videos. Many of these tracks are simply among the best music videos ever made.
1. TE EXTRANO,TE OLVIDO,TE AMO - Ricky's first hit from 1995 (a #4 record in France), it's still one of his best vocal performances and most romantic songs. Alas we are getting the circa 1998 remake video (this one and "Maria" were redone then apparently to capitalize on Ricky's burgeoning career and not make the songs seem "old" as Ricky's hair was much longer in 1995) which is very beautiful but rather uninvolving; the original video was so lovely, haunting, and bittersweet, I wish the DVD could have included it at least as a bonus track.
2. MARIA (REMIX SPANGLISH VERSION) - The original video from 1995 was a very exciting mix of concert footage and studio footage expertly edited; this one is just as appealing however albeit quite different with terrific on location footage, an endearing flirtation subplot, gorgeous blue sepia tints, and Ricky utterly appealing.
3. FUEGO DE NOCHE,NIEVE DE DIA - good song but not one of my favorites of the videos with it's rather pretentious storyline and Ricky in not one of his most flattering looks with a goatee and longer hair although he's still handsome of course.
4. VUELVE - Gorgeous song, gorgeous photography, gorgeous house, gorgeous Ricky!
5. LA COPA DE LA VIDA (SPANGLISH VERSION) - a #1 hit in many countries, this is the song that won Ricky his first Grammy and broke him in the American market via his performance that night. The video is a brillantly edited video fully capturing the excitement of a Ricky Martin concert and Ricky at his best.
6. LA BOMBA - Very sexy and quite macho Ricky struts through this excellent Latin partying song.
7. LIVIN' LA VIDA LOCA (SPANISH VERSION) - His most famous song of course, an international #1 hit, it's essential and very entertaining.
8. BELLA (SHE'S ALL I EVER HAD" SPANISH VERSION) - Ricky hit #2 with the English version of this song in America; the Spanish translation hit #1 on the Billboard's Latin chart (one of 10 #1 hits for Ricky on that chart). Very nice song and video.
9. SHE BANGS (SPANISH VERSION) - One of his biggest hits, a top five record in many countries, this one however works better in English particularly the video where Ricky was much more playful (I miss the head-tilted eye roll!). Great special effects and Ricky at perhaps his sexiest.
10. LOADED (ENGLISH) - The only song in this collection completely sung in English; a fun track but a rather conventional video even if the song's melody is uniquely 70s pop.
11. SOLO QUIERO AMARTE - a solo Spanish version of his hit English duet with Christina, "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely"; excellent song and performance, beautifully shot and Ricky is ultra handsome.
12. TALVEZ - a #1 Latin hit for Ricky in 2003, moving song and video. Outstanding.
13. JALEO - another chart topper, another great song, the video well captures a film noit mystique even while it's in gorgeous color.
14. Y TODO QUEDA EN NADA - Very good video with an "alone even at a party" theme, most notable for the Mexican-flavored color pallets, unfortunately a little too heavy-handed with it's imagery at times but Ricky gives an especially superb vocal performance here.
15. JURAMENTO - Excellent song is almost overwhelmed by the video's special effects with a woman dancing with multiple Rickys but it's very entertaining.
16. QUE MAS DA (I DON'T CARE) FEAT FAT JOE & AMERIE (SPANISH VERSION) - It's fun to see Ricky tackle hip hop, quite successfully in fact although American radio refused to give him a chance at all during this period. The song did much better internationally.
17. DEJATE LLEVAR (IT'S ALRIGHT,SPANISH VERSION) - Ricky really rocks out in this fantastic song with a great groove; the special effects are sensational in this video. One of his alltime best songs and videos.
This DVD does have one of the more burdensome chapter starts out there and can be difficult to navigate with it's thin light grey on white background, you might just want to hit play all ("ver todos") and jump to the song you like. The bonus features are short promo films for two of his albums (one of these is in Spanish with English subtitles; the other in English with Spanish subtitles) and one of Ricky's earliest videos, a 1993 Spanish cover of "Self Control". Ricky Martin is one of the best when it comes to infectious pop, be it in Spanish or English, and he is equally superb handling ballads. This is one DVD you will play over and over. Highly recommended.
