Summary: Great quality
Review: Nice collection of Ricky's recent-ish/popular videos! The visual and audio sound quality is excellent. My only complaint is that I wish there were MORE videos on this disc (I felt it was a little short). However, if you are a long-time Ricky fan like me, you will enjoy.

Summary: Martin exudes total joy in his music
Review: Ricky Martin is unique in today's music biz, where there's so much predilection to weirdness, grunge and perversion. Martin himself is clean, clear-eyed and obviously happy basking in the sensual aspects of life, and both he and his music display a healthy, joyous attitude toward life. It is particularly good to have here his Grammy Award Show performance of "The Cup of Life", where he works the audience into a frenzy with his uninhibited persona. Martin will never win honors as a great vocalist (he needs to train his voice to better handle the wide range he tackles), but as they say, "the kid has something."

Summary: the effervescent Ricky
Review: Ricky Martin's greatest talent is his effervescent showmanship, which he pours out to his audience with all his heart; I'd like to see a camera set in front of him, and just let him "do his thing", without the fancy camera shots, the endless edits, and the plethora of writhing babes that occupy most of the screen time. The video of "La Vida Loca" is the worst offender for this, which if you totaled up the time Ricky was on screen, it would probably be a lot less than what the wiggling dames get.
I also prefer him singing Spanish, and luckily we get 6 videos in Spanish in this collection. Total running time is 40 minutes.
The videos are:
"Livin' La Vida Loca" (English), Ricky's super hit.
"She's All I Ever Had" (English), this ballad has some nice special effects, with a dramatic, changing sky.
"La Bomba" (Spanish), this is probably the best track musically, and by far my favorite track in this collection. It's got a terrific rhythm, piano and brass arrangement, and it's Ricky at his very best.
"Perdido Sin Ti" (Spanish), a ballad with terrific b&w imagery, taken right out of Wim Wenders' film "Wings of Desire".
"Livin' La Vida Loca" (Spanish)
"Vuelve" (Spanish), filmed in what must be a Frank Lloyd Wright house, the architecture is fabulous, and the beauty of this ballad is that it's 100% Ricky, no babes.
"Maria" (Spanish), this is a fun, up-beat video, with Ricky looking young and very cute, filmed in what looks like Barcelona.
"Bella" (Spanish), the Spanish version of "She's All I Ever Had".
"The Cup of Life" (English), Ricky wows them at the Grammys. this is the live performance of the official 1998 World Cup song.

Summary: Nice mix of old and new
Review: The picture and sound quality was fantastic. Really a good bargin especially when it is almost impossible to get in the stores here. I like the mixture of songs that they put on the DVD from both his latest and previous albums. Although I don't understand a word of Spanish, his Spanish songs were the ones I liked best from the DVD. The behind the scenes feature gave a peek into the artist as a person. Wished it was more than just the few minutes that they had. If you're a fan and love his videos, I recommend this collection.

Summary: A great start to your Ricky Martin video collection
Review: This collection will be GREAT for a relatively new fan, but may be a disappointment for someone who was hoping to see some of his older work from previous albums like Vuelve, A Medio Vivir, and Me Amaras. The collection has both the English and Spanish versions of "Livin' La Vida Loca" and "She's All I Ever Had/Bella", and they are of course the SAME video with just the different songs -- perhaps they could have used the space in the collection more efficiently with some of Ricky's other older videos. The picture quality on the DVD is excellent, and it does contain a great "interview" with Ricky -- actually it is his Video Press Kit that was released with the English album this Spring -- and the videos for "Vuelve," "La Bomba," and "Maria" are fabulous and likely new to a lot of the USA, plus there is the fabulous Grammy performance which took the USA by storm in February -- arguably the most significant performance in his career.
