Back in 1999 he was huge and had such a promising career (in English) in front of him. What do you think went wrong?
Do you think his new album should be in English, Spanish or bilingual?

You should rename this thread, otherwise it will get locked.
Ricky Martin-New Album Era perhaps.
He supposedly has a new album coming in 2010.

Wish he would become as famous as he was in '99 again so he'd make more appearances, GOD he is so fucking hot.

No thoughts on what went so wrong? In this industry you're very hot for a while, then your popularity fades. Look at Alanis Morissette. Her 1st album was huge, ever since then she puts out albums that perform well, but she will never have that same success again. I don't follow Ricky's career, but I believe he still does well in the Latin markets, especially when he sings Spanish songs. I just think he's hot as f*ck, and wouldn't mind seeing some new promo. ;) |

No thoughts on what went so wrong? I think he burned out a little and stayed out of the limelight for too long, and then when he tried to come back the Latin wave was over and interest in him had cooled considerably. On top of that he came back with a different sound, kind of trying to blend in some reggaeton influence, and it didn't fit him at all. It was like he was trying way too hard to be edgy and sexy, and that is always a turn off. Kind of like Shakira and "She Wolf." Ricky is still doing great with tours in Hispanic markets, and he is still popular here. He just needs some good singles to rekindle the interest of the general public. |

^ I agree with everything you said. Although, "Life" was my favorite album of his. I wish him major success.

No thoughts on what went so wrong? In case you didn't notice every star of the "Latin Pop" explosion of the late 90s/early 00s saw their career die after it ended. |

Ricky came at a fad and went away for too long. "Livin La Vida Loca" and "Shes All I Ever Had" were hits, but he had nothing else to sustain.
