Weird that they labeled her Silver Spoons appearance from 1987 as 1990. By 1990 she was enough of a major pop star that a small guest appearance would have been below her paygrade.
They also said she started kids inc at 15. She did not. She did the pilot at either 13 or 14 and stayed on the show for 3 years so left at 16 or 17 tops, did silver spoon like gigs before breaking into popstardom around 88-89
LATINOS UNIDOS LATINOS THE STRONGEST: Ms. Martika Marero You have proven that Nothing is Impossible in Life. I really appreciate and enjoy your talents and Superior Skills in music. You have the Voice of an Angel 💎 Thank you for those Golden🏆 years of Great Music🎖️ 🙏
She's still just as dazzling as she was back then. I never realized that was her on silver spoons or on kids incorporated! And that was my era. Martika you should have married ME!
I forgot about that attempt at a comedback in the late 90's/early 2000s' with that album "The Journey", one of like three albums that never really surfaced! LOL that is one of my favorite things about Tika, she claims she's this deep spiritual artist, but then when she FINALLY officially came back with a single, "Flow With the Go," it was terrible low budget generic dance pop about having sex and being horny. Like literally, the lyrics were like, "Look at my thong" and "You're gonna wanna ride" and "I'm rooty tooty fresh and fruity with an apple bottom booty." Bless her heart, I freaking LOVE HER SO MUCH, but she is the hottest mess in the WORLD. Thank you for uploading this. I know my comments probably seem negative to people who only want to heap praise on the artists they love, but I can appreciate Martika for her many facets - brilliant vocalist and singer, charming entertainer and total post-fame hot mess. :D
with her talents, she should've gone much, much further..( Ridiculous that second rate acts like "Fergie" and JLH had careers that even came close to hers )
@@KidsIncorporated She absolutely has not. :P She had a few very brief very limited engagements with 80's retro tours in Australia, like two of them in the past ten years. That's it. She SAID she was going to have a tour back when her alleged album "Mirrorball" was supposed to come out, and instead she did a few EXTREMELY small performances at gay clubs in Ohio and that was it. Almost every time she has claimed she was going to tour in the past ten years it has been mysteriously cancelled.
I don't like to speculate but I will tell you that ten odd years ago when she and her 'husband' were making a 'tv show' in Ohio, everyone working on that project suspected as much. They were just so obviously flying by the seat of their pants, trading in Martika's former fame for brownie points to get people to participate on the promise of future pay or huge success. And she has become painfully thin in recent years. If there are drugs involved all I can say is I hope she gets well, but I think it has been more of a thing of her just having ideas or artistic goals and then saying they are happening when really they are just a glimmer of an idea, and then having to dial it back and "cancel" or give excuses as to why they didn't come to fruition.
I saw this years ago when it first aired when I was in College. I'm glad Martika did what made her happy but I will never get that"Art Is More Important Than Succes"way of thinking. She should be like Madonna right now. A Kajillionaire whose albums are always guaranteed to go Diamond at the least.
@@KidsIncorporated Yeah, and she was full of BS. :P Everyone in the industry knows what really happened, which was that she had a terrible attitude and behaved like a diva, so that no one wanted to work with her anymore. Coupled with a lesser performance in the states for "Martika's Kitchen," she was optioned out of her contract and that was that. Not to mention years later, during her "Vida Edit" phase, the COUNTLESS people in Ohio who worked with her and Michael Mozart Dameon Edit Nikki whatever he wants to call himself, on their 'show' "J8ded" who never got paid - makeup, locations, catering, actors, the whole nine yards all got ripped off after promises after promises. I will always adore Martika and who she used to be but who she became was very, very disappointing.
You realize Madonna hasn't had a diamond album in like a decade, right? Her last four albums didn't even hit Platinum in the US; "Madame X" sold less than 100,000 copies in America, and less than 200,000 worldwide.
I'll always love Tika but in recent years she has become such a hot mess. That "Vida Edit" phase with her 'husband' was disastrous, as was that horrible "show" "J8ded". "Flow With the Go" was an embarrassing song and video, and then all the just ongoing promises she kept making of albums, tours, singles, etc... etc... that went absolutely nowhere. We stan a legend but I wish she hadn't come back only to go out with a whimper the way she did.
2022 And I still miss Kids Incorporated.🤧🤧🤧🤧
She did some amazing covers. Twist of Fate, Goonies R Good Enough, Manic Monday, Warrior, Careless Whisper, etc.
The talent she has is incredible!
She did get married must didn't want that out there I guess maybe because he was black lol

Martika 🤩 #ToySoldiersArmy ✌
What a Wiseguy that Martika was.
I'm not bloody, surprised, everyone breaks uoung Martika, pit pony contracts me angel
with her talents, she should've gone much, much further..( Ridiculous that second rate acts like "Fergie" and JLH had careers that even came close to hers )
Shoulda, coulda, woulda, sadly...Glad she's made some comebacks with tours. She's done really well in that avenue.
@@KidsIncorporated She absolutely has not. :P She had a few very brief very limited engagements with 80's retro tours in Australia, like two of them in the past ten years. That's it.

@@beatnickblanket painfully thin like Jennifer Connelly, as they age, they get thinner and thinner.
She was kids incorporated she got her own songs
I saw this years ago when it first aired when I was in College. I'm glad Martika did what made her happy but I will never get that"Art Is More Important Than Succes"way of thinking. She should be like Madonna right now. A Kajillionaire whose albums are always guaranteed to go Diamond at the least.
In later interviews she reflected back and said she didn't think she was ready for it, but she doesn't have any regrets.
@@KidsIncorporated I am happy for her.

No way is she in the same league as madonna. Madinna was full of charisma

She has an auspicious chin.
From probably 2001.
Maybe that weird husband dude was the 'low-point'.
Except as far as anyone can tell they are still "married" and living together in Ohio.

Is it true Prince wrote toy soldiers for her?
No.
Love thy will be done is from prince
