...The others are right, the guy certainly does have a certain amount of girl appeal. I suppose you either love or hate Ricky Martin and I've got to say I love him. Having said that that doesn't mean I love all of this album. Ricky's at his best doing the more upbeat numbers of which there are quite a few on this album, the trouble is most of them have been released as singles though it's good to have them all in one place. Half of the album could almost be a Ricky Martin best of, pretty impressive for one so young, the rest of the album is filled with a few dreary ballads, but it's worth the purchase for the handful of good tracks which are there, programme those in on your stereo and get dancing!...

Advantages: About 9 of the songs are excellent!! Disadvantages: None
..., The Cup Of Life and Spanish Eyes/Lola Lola.
The song 'Maria' is about a man in love with a women and the lyrics are really good. It's one of the best songs he sings too!
'Be careful' is performed by Ricky and Madonna, and it's a really nice duet and very thought provoking lyrics.
The Cup Of Life is one of the weaker songs, which I don't like very much, although footy fans will probably love it. It's the official song of the world cup, France 1998. (Original English version).
Spanish eyes/Lola lola is a slower song, featured on the video 'One Night Only'.
The cover isn't really striking, but its fairly good. It's very dark and not really striking, but it's a classic. Spanish music is great, but it has English songs and duets aswell, including with Christina Aguilera. Their voices go well together!!
Most of the songs are fairly fast...

Advantages: brilliant songs and sexy Disadvantages: none
...The Cup of Life was the official song of the France 98 tournament and was a great song as was Maria. However, what really catapulted Ricky Martin to fame was the brilliant Livin La Vida Loca. It went straight to number one and won many awards. It put Latin music on the map as well as Ricky himself. It was the dance song that had everyone on their feet. He followed this up with Shake Your Bon-Bon which didn't do quite so well despite being a great song. Private Emotion is his latest release from this album and is an extremely powerful ballad which is set to go straight to number one. It proves that the talented Ricky Martin can do many different types of music. The album ends with Spanish versions of a couple of his songs, a brilliant way to round of an even better album....
