Ricky Martin to Join 'The Voice' Mexico as Judge?
After proving successful as a judge for The Voice Australia, Ricky Martin may be appearing on another version.
According to El Siglo De Torreón, Martin, Laura Pausini, Yuri and Julion Alvarez will be the judges for the next season of The Voice Mexico. One source said that it is already a done deal.
"The only thing that is missing is their signatures, but they have already given their word," the source said. "The four have already agreed, and it is just a matter of days until it is known. This is the same thing that happens with all negotiations."
The show will start filming in September, and it will air from October to December.
Ricky Martin has already announced that he will be in Mexico for concerts during October, so it would line up perfectly for the Puerto Rican singer.
He recently took a stand in Morocco.
At a musical festival, he changed the lyrics to his 1999 song "She's All I Ever Had" from "she" to "he," the Huffington Post noted.
So the song sounded like this instead: "Its' the way he understands/He's my lover, he's my friend/When I look into his eyes it's the way I feel inside/Like the man I want to be/ He's all I ever need."
Though it was a very subtle change, it means a lot in a place like Morocco, where being gay can be punished by being sent to prison.
The fact that he changed the lyrics may have just been him taking a stand, but he has been linked to Federico Diaz, who came out as gay in the spring. The Uruguayan actor released a press release on his Twitter account where he explained that he needed to stop hiding from the truth.
