The late 90’s also had many semi-rivals working at the same time and one could have place some bets on which one would have won only to lose. To give you an example – Enrique Iglesias managed to become what Ricky Martin was poised to become, yet Mr. Iglesias outdid him thanks to his willingness to shape his own style within a variety of soundscapes. Mind you, this is not a slight to either of them, since both of them have their qualities, but Enrique always seemed to be more savvy with his choices. I mean, his single for Wild Wild West, a blockbuster so bad Will Smith had to apologize for that, does take a lot of tricks from the Latin boom at the time, but listen to his voice. Mr. Iglesias always sounds vulnerable, his vocals are not the fireworks, they’re the flickering lights.

the good old days of my teenage years.
