The competition between the Puerto Rican superstar Ricky Martin and supermodel Kate Upton on "Lip Sync Battle," is definitely a must-see video this week. Upton did great with a sexy “Baby One More Time” tribute reminding us of the innocent days of Britney Bears, but Martin's homage to “Footloose” is what set the Spike TV show stage on fire like only the “Living La Vida Loca” hit maker can do it. Ricky was accompanied by multiple dancers who did the same “Footloose” routine from the iconic scene with Tom Cruise in 1983.
This revival was priceless and the singer impressed not only the audience in the studio, but everyone watching from home. He also paid tribute to another classic scene during the show as he took Kevin Bacon underwear moment from the film “Risky Business” from 1984 dancing with Kenny Loggins bringing back the eighties spirit.
The Puerto Rican performance was the first performance of the show where we have already seen other stars glowing and lip syncing like Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana and Ben Kingsley among others.
Martin has proved he’s become just a little more irresistible than his '90s heartthrob days, like he was described on Out Magazine recently.
As reported by People, Days after the announcement of Ricky Martin’s role on FX’s "Versace: American Crime Story," as Giovanni Versace’s lover, Antonio D’Amico, VH1 revealed that the Latin superstar would be getting his own reality Docuseries.
Ricky has had a great year already as he also shines at his residency Vegas. The singer announced this new journey back in November and since then he has been taking his career to another level. “I’m extremely excited to have my residency in Las Vegas; I have been thinking about it for years and to see it become a reality is just an unbelievable feeling,” he said. “I’ve dedicated my entire life to the stage, and there is nothing I want more than to create the best show of my career and make it an unforgettable experience for each person that comes to see me at the incredible Park Theater at Monte Carlo,” he said at the Ellen Show.
