Speaking of being caught off guard: in 1999 all of America was watching the Grammys (as you do) and all of the sudden this beautiful dessert of a man named Ricky Martin was introduced. He performed this song and even Madonna couldn’t keep her butt in her seat. HE KICKED IN THE DOOR AND SET THAT PLACE ON FIRE. It was all anyone could talk about the next day. Edit: I think you guys are right - the performance I’m thinking of was ‘The Cup of Life’ and ‘Livin La Vida Loca’ was the year after. Either way - he stone cold tore it up!
Yeah ok but I did remember him from Menudo and "General Hospital". So he was old to me, no offense. But it was a performance that shocked all of us who watched it live.
THIS is why you have faithful watchers. Your reactions are genuine. You truly enjoy music and you're funny! And it is infectious. Keep going dude. We love watching.
Millions yes millions of women were bummed when we found out that Mr. Ricky was gay. Including myself but I still love him I love everybody Mr. video especially you.
Quote: _"millions of women were 'bummed' when we found out that Mr. Ricky was gay"_ ... You've gotta love the inherent irony of that statement. :) ... PS: I know you never meant it that way. xD
I just got home from the hospital from having a bunch of screws and rods put in my back and I feel like all kinds of garbage, but your videos can still make me smile! Thank you!
This was my jam in the the late 90s! Back then, gay performers couldn't be out. It's interesting to me that he had to sing about relationships with women, though he wasn't really interested in them. People would say he was gay, but more as a derogatory rumor more than a fact. Now, he's married to a man and they have four children. It's just so different from what he had to make the public believe when this song was new. The world really was very different then.
My first taste of Ricky Martin was on General Hospital, he left the soap opera to focus on his music , It was a music award show that he was the closing act that set people on fire, even Goldie Hawn got up dancing. Yes he is gay and in a committed relationship and is married he has 4 children, he did not publicly announce he was gay until during the La Vida Loca craze, did that turn woman away from his sex appeal, hell no, he is sexy as F*ck. he is a singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, author and humanitarian. song is written by Draco Rosa and Desmond Child. Here are the lyrics for you "Livin' La Vida Loca" She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light She's got a new addiction for every day and night She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain Like a bullet to your brain Come on! Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha She will wear you out living la vida loca Come on! Living la vida loca Come on! She's living la vida loca Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel She took my heart and she took my money She must've slipped me a sleeping pill She never drinks the water Makes you order French Champagne Once you've had a taste of her You'll never be the same Yeah, she'll make you go insane Alright Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha She will wear you out living la vida loca Alright! Living la vida loca She's living la vida loca She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain She'll make you live her crazy life But she'll take away your pain Like a bullet to your brain Come on!

A friend dragged me to one of his concerts back in the day...ended up being one of the best concerts I’ve ever experienced....he is a talented entertainer for sure.
He's a stand up guy to. After the tsunami in Indonesia an infant was found alive. To protect from human trafficking people from trying to claim the child. He paid his own security to watch and protect that child until the right family was located
Got to admit. This song was catchy. Hard not to like it. I just did a mini early 90s dive. Try C&C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat and MC Hammer 2 Legit 2 Quit Great Reaction
I was 23 and stationed in Alaska when this madness happened. Between Ricky and Santana, I was ready to get back to Texas for some La Vida Loca cause you can't shake your hips like that when it's -15 deg. Good Times.
😅😅😅 this is the best start of my morning drive to work. "She's not wearing me out, the damn song is wearing me out" bro that shit cracked me up. You definitely have the craziest reactions, no let down.
Here’s a GREAT song! I’m Gonna Be (500 miles) by the Proclaimers. It’s a Scottish band. It was a 1 hit wonder from a movie. The video has Johnny Depp (from Pirates of the Caribbean).
I don't like that song. I'm not sure what it is I don't like, but I don't. I think it's mostly the music. I feel like it's over-produced. And as usual, Christina over does it.
@@vamps_rock I like Christina too, it's just that I find she often needs to take it down a smidge. Like, watch Seth MacFarlane's duet with her of "New York, New York" and you'll hear/see what I mean. She over-powers her parts and Seth. Like she needs to be reminded that it's a duet; he's not singing backup.
@@VeryCherryCherry , I agree she can go over the top sometimes but he holds his own in the song and that’s just who she is I guess. Like in Lady Marmalade, it was the four of them but she stole the show with the vocals. And the video is just aesthetically beautiful... mostly because the two of them.
This was something you had to live through to understand how just big it was. I was 24 about to turn 25 when this song was out and when the "Latin wave" hit. He performed this live on the Today Show in the Spring 1999 and to that point, it was the biggest crowd to ever gather for a Today Show concert. It was a sea of people from 48h Street to 51 Street and between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. It rivaled the Christmas Tree lighting crowd. It was insane. This song was also inescapable if you listened to pop radio. It really was a fun time.
Going to Ricky Martin's concert was a great dance experience! Ricky gives such a great show! Fabulous entertainer and singer! I danced the whole time. This song in particular- the crowd went wild w Ricky. One of the best concerts I went to! He also sings ballads with so much passion. I enjoyed watching you losing it to la vida loca! That sound gets in your soul and its so much fun! Loved today's reaction! 💖💖💖
I’m going to repeat some suggestions I made in another reaction. INXS - Need You Tonight Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Full Force - I Wonder If I Take You Home Terence Trent D'Arby - Wishing Well And as a 51 year old pasty white woman, I need to ask that you give these ladies a view to get your blood pumping.

@@shayboomah1166 Have you seen them together? I didn’t know about this until a few days ago when I first recommended both of them. Terence (who now goes by Sananda Maitreya) is very talented. ua-cam.com/video/SIbkTKJDiC0/v-deo.html
I know I added a comment before but I just want to say I've gone back to this reaction several times. One of my favorites!!!! I absolutely love it when you are jammin and you start to laugh because it's so good. Pure joy.
Yess!! This song was huge back in the day! He's got so many other hits too...Shake Your Bon-Bon, Cup of Life, Maria, and Nobody Wants to Be Lonely w/Christina Aguilera to name a few.
He did this at one of the MTV Awards shows and blew the roof off the place! Other than Michael Jackson, him and Kid Rocks, Bawitaba performances were my favorites always!
When I was in high school (early to mid 80's) my cousin was a huge fan of a boy-group from Puerto Rico called Menudo. There were posters of them all over the bedroom walls. i had never heard of them but thought that the group looked cute. While he was a well known artist in the Latin music genre, he wasn't that mainstream here. That is until 1999, when he performed "La Copa de la Vida" (The Cup of Life) at the Grammy Awards. He literally blew the roof off the building & had everyone on their feet, first dancing along in the aisles & then for the uproarious standing ovation applause from the crowd. Please check out Ricky Martin The Cup of Life - LIVE at 41st Grammy Music Awards. I never would have guessed that one of those cute little boys on a poster of some obscure Latin boy band in my cousin's bedroom would grow up to become such a globally adored entertainer & would earn the title "King of Latin Pop" and the "Latin Music King". Who-wee, that man can dance & move those hips!
He was my favorite in Menudo! You need to see him at the Grammys! Wow! He made me and my infirm mother get up and give him a standing O in our living room in Philadelphia after he was finished his performance at the Grammy! He was one of the best ever on that show. He did a different song but it opened the doors for this.
You just made my day! I’m so sick but I laughed out loud and cheered you on when you were moving your hips! Go Leo!! I would love to meet you after Covid-19 and go out dancing!! Thanks for playing a Latinx or Latino artist!! Some of his songs and that of other Latinx singers are the bomb! Just like you, Leo!! Thanks for all do!! ❤️😘💋😍
Love this song, If I'm having a bad day the dopamine rush from this song is just insane, this song is gonna be stuck in my head all day now and that's a good thing because this day started off shitty for me but now I'm just swaying side to side....Livin La Vida Loca, Come On!!!
Ricky Martin was huge at one point. This song, Maria, Cup of Life (which was the anthem for the world cup of that year) and She Bangs. Ricky Martin is still around I think he is a judge on one of those talent shows
Mr. Video I love you I discovered you about a month ago couldn't sleep and I happened upon you and maaaan! I was cracking up until the wee hours of the morning thankyou God Bless you & yours...Hellos all the way from 🇵🇷🌴❤
Many remember him as one of the little kids in the spanish boy band, Menudo. The next time the U.S. music scene saw him was in this breakout video as a grown up man. Many were like, "whoa. This is the little kid?"
In NYC, at least in my generation, we called a fire hydrant a “pump”. He hit a pump 😂 And we regularly opened the pump to play in the water, our park sprinklers never worked and the city didn’t care to fix them for inner city kids... But they sure did start to care when we illegally opened a pump, flooded the streets, directed water using a can (with both ends filed off on the concrete sidewalk) into the passing cars open windows flooding the inside of their cars on a hot summer night 😂 Nothing to do with this song but that popped into my mind at the opening scene. Good times 😂🤣💪❤️
@@NativeNYerChicHK I completely agree. When Raheem yells "D MOTHER FUCKER, D" & all hell breaks loose & he can't breathe cos of the cops. That's not just talking about the 80's that shit is still happening today. Sorry to bring things down in here but u said yrself he's a master storyteller & he wasn't looking into the future. It's just nothings changed
Don't forget Ricky Martin was just a child when he was in a very successful Hispanic "boy band" called Munudo MANY years ago. I believe he was the youngest of 5 boys that sang, danced, and toured all over. They were just like American, boy bands. Golly was I completely shocked when Ricky grew up!!! 💕
Loved the reaction! 🔥🔥But man, what a throwback.. I was grooving to this song back in grade school a little more than I should have 😂 You should react to his 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' song/video! Very similar in flavor!
Try out the "Black Eyed Peas - Pump it" "The Knack - My Sharona". "Talking Heads - Psycho Killer". "Violent Femmes- Blister in the Sun" also " Kiss Off ". "Dexy's Midnight Runners- Come on Eileen".
I was exhausted just watching you! That's my workout for today. When this first came out it got SO overplayed, on MTV/VH1 and on the radio. If you wanted to be cool, you'd say you hated it. But deep down...DEEP DOWN...you know you liked it at least a little bit. Years later you can hear why it was such a hit, it's a perfect Top 40 song.
This came out when our 2 daughters were young. I'm a sensual Momma and share a healthy enjoyment for sexy dancing. Oh we would dance to this!!! 😹 They're in their 20s now and I garuntee you if this popped up at a party or bar the 3 of us would be tearing up the floor!!! 😺🖤
Loved this man from his Menudo days until now. He's a wonderful person, he traveled to Puerto Rico after the hurricane they had in 2017 (I think) and raised money to help the residents through his Ricky Martin Foundation as well as an online campaign he started. Thanks for a great reaction video! You can't help yourself when this song comes on, you have to get up and dance!
It's a song that you dance to where two people come together and all parts meet at just the right points and the heat and the sweat combine with the rhythm and converge and become something more
Oh my Mr. Video, you are a hoot! I know you would have tore up the dance floor with this song. Try Mambo #5 by Lou Bega. Thanks for playing one of my favorites.
Watching this again, Leo! ( I’m a “ return customer “ ), especially because of your reaction/ review to Ricky Martin ! Ricky is one sexy, talented performer . 🔥🔥🔥
No matter how bad the day is, i can always count on smiling after watching you...😁😁😁❤❤❤
Agreed!!💖
Same! I LOVE watching his videos. It distracts me from stressful things in my life. ❤️

I remember this 😊
I remember! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah ok but I did remember him from Menudo and "General Hospital". So he was old to me, no offense. But it was a performance that shocked all of us who watched it live.
I'm pretty sure he sang La Copa de la Vida at the Grammys, it was a fabulous performance just with a different song.
THIS is why you have faithful watchers. Your reactions are genuine. You truly enjoy music and you're funny! And it is infectious. Keep going dude. We love watching.
Compare his reactions to Soul Train Bro's. Hahahahah big difference, both great.
Leo found his inner Latino 🔥
Check out that hip swivel!! 🤣
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I just ghosted my hubby, danced down the hall with this in my ears, lol. It was worth it!! Making my day Mr Video♡
My mom had the biggest crush on Ricky Martin. Surely he broke a lot of females’ hearts years later.....
Yep, I was one of those hearts he broke! 😂
And mens hearts too
I called it the moment I laid eyes on him...of course because I'm an 80s kid and learned from George Michael and Boy George so...he pretty tho..
My boyfriend kept telling me but I didn't believe it. Then he came out, I was crushed!! 💔 (like I had a chance 😂)
Yes true... we loved him but he didn't love us xx
A bongo bong...😂🤣😂 You crack me up
Millions yes millions of women were bummed when we found out that Mr. Ricky was gay. Including myself but I still love him I love everybody Mr. video especially you.
Not I said this little red head ...I never liked him ...don't like his music either....😝😁
Love him too ;)
Yeah, I'd say it was pretty obvious he was gay. I wasn't surprised at all.
Quote: _"millions of women were 'bummed' when we found out that Mr. Ricky was gay"_ ... You've gotta love the inherent irony of that statement. :)
... PS: I know you never meant it that way. xD
But millions of millions of men... 😉
1. Ricky Martin is so hot ❤️🔥
2. I am dying laughing at your reaction (yet again). 🤣😭
This guy needs his own tv show
I always thought Enrique was sexier. I remember the fights between women saying Ricky was straight but Enrique was gay lol. They were wrong.
A car hitting the damn fire hydrant! LOL
Awww Ricky Martin ....What a Beautiful Man !!!
La Vida Loca is Spanish for living the crazy life!
I just got home from the hospital from having a bunch of screws and rods put in my back and I feel like all kinds of garbage, but your videos can still make me smile! Thank you!
Get better 😊💙🙏
Wow, hope you heal quickly 💗
I hope your situation improves soonest. I am virtually bedridden but Mr Video makes me giggle every time.
ouch girl, you rest up and enjoy some mr video magic lol
Get well soon sounds tough 💓
If you like this then the obvious next reaction should be Mambo #5 by Lou Bega
YES!!! Please do Mambo #5 next by Lou Bega
Yes, you have to react to Mambo #5 by Lou Bega next, It's Brilliant
Yes that's the song he needs to react to next Mambo #5 by Lou Bega and yes It's Brilliant
Yes I definitely second this, please react to Lou Bega Mambo #5 next, you'll love it
Yess. One of the bigest 90's crazyness
This was my jam in the the late 90s!
Back then, gay performers couldn't be out. It's interesting to me that he had to sing about relationships with women, though he wasn't really interested in them. People would say he was gay, but more as a derogatory rumor more than a fact. Now, he's married to a man and they have four children. It's just so different from what he had to make the public believe when this song was new. The world really was very different then.
I would love a remake for today. 🥰
@Hillary's emails to Lorne ha! Well, I'll be damned!
He did have relationships with Mexican women actresses before coming out.
Same with George Micheal the other video I just seen!
@@tanglemess Ahhhh....that's was just a beard/cover as he was also part of the Hollywood scene what with him being on General Hospital and all 💁🏾♀️

Here are the lyrics for you
"Livin' La Vida Loca"
She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall
She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light
She's got a new addiction for every day and night
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!
Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca
Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out living la vida loca
Come on!
Living la vida loca
Come on!
She's living la vida loca
Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must've slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water
Makes you order French Champagne
Once you've had a taste of her
You'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane
Alright
Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca
Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out living la vida loca
Alright!
Living la vida loca
She's living la vida loca
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Come on!
Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, living la vida loca
Her lips are devil-red and her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out living la vida loca
Come on!
Upside, inside out she's living la vida loca

It was so catchy Chris Rock called “Living La Vida Loca” the Latin “Whoop, There It Is.”
Your reaction is freaking awesome. I was jumping in my seat.
The Latin Fever of the late 90's was something else. Ricky, Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Marc Antony, etc.....

Didn't he do a stint on General Hospital .. or am I thinking of someone else?

Thanks for playing a Latinx or Latino artist!! Some of his songs and that of other Latinx singers are the bomb! Just like you, Leo!! Thanks for all do!! ❤️😘💋😍
Love this song, If I'm having a bad day the dopamine rush from this song is just insane, this song is gonna be stuck in my head all day now and that's a good thing because this day started off shitty for me but now I'm just swaying side to side....Livin La Vida Loca, Come On!!!
Ricky Martin was huge at one point. This song, Maria, Cup of Life (which was the anthem for the world cup of that year) and She Bangs. Ricky Martin is still around I think he is a judge on one of those talent shows
i love this song too. this is the only song of his that rocks like this. shout out to his trumpet player he sounds good.
You CRACK ME UP! Can't sit still with this song. I'm dancing in my seat every time I hear it.
Thank you for reminding me to leave work at work and enjoy my weekend!
Mr. Video I love you I discovered you about a month ago couldn't sleep and I happened upon you and maaaan! I was cracking up until the wee hours of the morning thankyou God Bless you & yours...Hellos all the way from 🇵🇷🌴❤
You're one of my faves on youtube, you make me laugh so hard
Many remember him as one of the little kids in the spanish boy band, Menudo. The next time the U.S. music scene saw him was in this breakout video as a grown up man. Many were like, "whoa. This is the little kid?"
In NYC, at least in my generation, we called a fire hydrant a “pump”. He hit a pump 😂 And we regularly opened the pump to play in the water, our park sprinklers never worked and the city didn’t care to fix them for inner city kids... But they sure did start to care when we illegally opened a pump, flooded the streets, directed water using a can (with both ends filed off on the concrete sidewalk) into the passing cars open windows flooding the inside of their cars on a hot summer night 😂 Nothing to do with this song but that popped into my mind at the opening scene. Good times 😂🤣💪❤️
Sounds like a Spike Lee movie😊
True! Former (and always) Bronx/Brooklyn girl here!!!
@@jadecawdellsmith4009 That’s because Spike Lee movies are very true-to-life pieces of that era. Truly. He’s masterful at it!
@@jacqueline4514 I’m 3rd Generation Hell’s Kitchen NYC! We’re practically Family, you and I 😂💪❤️😘
@@NativeNYerChicHK I completely agree. When Raheem yells "D MOTHER FUCKER, D" & all hell breaks loose & he can't breathe cos of the cops. That's not just talking about the 80's that shit is still happening today. Sorry to bring things down in here but u said yrself he's a master storyteller & he wasn't looking into the future. It's just nothings changed
Just seeing this. I love you. You brighten my day. I was dancing in the car and I'm 59! Loved it!
He used to be on my stories....General Hospital. Who doesn't love him...
2:25 doood, homies hips don't lie. i thought i was having fun moving my arms and snapping. he went full shakira on us
There's your morning workout then, lol.
I swear... When Ricky performed this LIVE for the first time... I felt the axis of the earth shift!
Love when SHIFT happens! 😉
💜💫✌️🎵
Livin' the crazy life!! Latinos can sexy dance! Always loved this song!
I remember when this song came out it got played like crazy and the video to everywhere i went i heard it all day everyday at first
Man... Be happy that you missed it... This damn song was everywhere that yr
Don't forget Ricky Martin was just a child when he was in a very successful Hispanic "boy band" called Munudo MANY years ago. I believe he was the youngest of 5 boys that sang, danced, and toured all over. They were just like American, boy bands. Golly was I completely shocked when Ricky grew up!!! 💕
Loved the reaction! 🔥🔥But man, what a throwback.. I was grooving to this song back in grade school a little more than I should have 😂 You should react to his 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' song/video! Very similar in flavor!
Living LA vida loca, living the crazy life
My cheeks are aching from smiling so wide! Thanks for giving me happiness after a hard day! ❤️
I see bongos!! This is going to be good!! 😂😂
Rick Martin was from the group Menudo , which was back in the 80's . Then in 1999 this wonderful hit came out. This hell of dance hit.
Try out the "Black Eyed Peas - Pump it"
"The Knack - My Sharona".
"Talking Heads - Psycho Killer".
"Violent Femmes- Blister in the Sun" also " Kiss Off ".
"Dexy's Midnight Runners- Come on Eileen".
I was exhausted just watching you! That's my workout for today. When this first came out it got SO overplayed, on MTV/VH1 and on the radio. If you wanted to be cool, you'd say you hated it. But deep down...DEEP DOWN...you know you liked it at least a little bit. Years later you can hear why it was such a hit, it's a perfect Top 40 song.
This came out when our 2 daughters were young. I'm a sensual Momma and share a healthy enjoyment for sexy dancing. Oh we would dance to this!!! 😹 They're in their 20s now and I garuntee you if this popped up at a party or bar the 3 of us would be tearing up the floor!!! 😺🖤
Mr Video, you've missed your calling - Dancer-cise teacher!. Thanks for cheering me up on a wet and windy evening in old London town! xxx
Lol mr video you’re hilarious.
This song was EVERYWHERE! No one could escape it! There was even a coffee shop named - Livin' La Vida Mocha!
Whoo! Still a kicker!
Loved this man from his Menudo days until now. He's a wonderful person, he traveled to Puerto Rico after the hurricane they had in 2017 (I think) and raised money to help the residents through his Ricky Martin Foundation as well as an online campaign he started. Thanks for a great reaction video! You can't help yourself when this song comes on, you have to get up and dance!
Please react to Gerardo - "Rico Suave". Apparently I used to get him and Ricky Martin mixed up.... I thought Ricky Martin did "Rico Suave".
Rico Suave is so cheesy! It's perfect for a reaction.
Lawd I have been binge watching your channel I haven’t laughed this much in over a year thank you so much
Lou Bega Mambo #5, react to that next plz because it just makes sense
You always put a smile on my face!!!! Love, love, love your energy!!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
You have to do a reaction to Broken Wings by Mr. Mister. I love it when you do the reactions to the 80s soft-rock music.
Leo, Dude, Thank you so much for doing one of my requests. Your reaction was AWESOME!!! Thanks for making my DAY!
After doing this, you definitely need to react to Mambo #5 by Lou Bega next
102,000 people love watching you!! Congratulations Leo!!!! ✌️💗😊
I love his Cup of Life. If you liked this, you’ll love that.
It's a song that you dance to where two people come together and all parts meet at just the right points and the heat and the sweat combine with the rhythm and converge and become something more
Nice reaction and that dance💯🔥lol
Ricky is definitely a workout💃Glad to see you having a blast🕺❤Livin La Vida Loca🕺🎵🎶🎸🎷🎺🎶
Love you Leo! Your awesome! Let get into the Holloween spirit with your reaction of "Monster Mash" 🎃😊🎃😊🎃😊🎃
That's an oldie and a goldie - takes me back to my teenage years!!
I love the start of every video when you fall on the sofa and yeeee
Oh my Mr. Video, you are a hoot! I know you would have tore up the dance floor with this song. Try Mambo #5 by Lou Bega. Thanks for playing one of my favorites.
Watching this again, Leo! ( I’m a “ return customer “ ), especially because of your reaction/ review to Ricky Martin ! Ricky is one sexy, talented performer . 🔥🔥🔥
