Does it give you chills? Crack you up? Bring back a moment in time? Let us know what makes that opener stand out!</em></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgba(38, 38, 40, 0.9);">The first line of the song – </span><em style="color: rgba(38, 38, 40, 0.9);">"She's into superstitions"</em><span style="color: rgba(38, 38, 40, 0.9);"> – is often considered powerful. It immediately sets a specific tone and introduces the intriguing, almost mysterious, character that drives the song.&nbsp;The line introduces a woman (or man in my case since I’m doing a gender bender version) who is mysterious and intriguing, immediately drawing the listener in.&nbsp;The line serves as the first piece of a story about a woman who lives life to the fullest, even if it's a bit reckless.</span></p><p><br></p><p>My first time on creating a "MTV" video using files NOT from Youtube as per the contest rules, and it was quite a challenge syncing the images to the melody (my first time on the song as well) since I am an absolute beginner at it, so apologies for the imperfections. It' was quite fun actually to learn a new digital technique and get the creative juices flowing.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Livin' la Vida Loca" </strong>is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his fifth (eponymous) studio album and English-language debut, released in 1999.&nbsp;A Latin pop and dance song with elements of salsa, surf, and ska, it is about an irresistible, particularly sinister, wild woman who lives on the edge, seducing others into her crazy world. The song received acclaim from music critics, who complimented its lyrics and danceable rhythm.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>"Livin' la Vida Loca"</strong> was also commercially successful, reaching #1 in more than 20 countries. It is considered to be Martin's biggest hit and one of the best-selling singles of all time. In the United States, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five consecutive weeks, becoming Martin's first #1 single on the chart. It debuted at #1 in the UK, making Martin the first Puerto Rican artist in history to achieve such a feat.&nbsp;The track was nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards.</p>
