menudo's big comeback!

I’m a big Latin music fan. In high school, I loved Ricky Martin, and that was way before he ever sang “Livin’ the Vida Loca!” Get his CD Vuelve, and you’ll see what I mean — just amazing. But I really loved Ricky in his early years — and I mean early years — back when he was in the band Menudo. Ever heard of it? Menudo was five-member Latino all-boy band in the 80s, and whenever a band member turned 20, he’d be replaced with a new, under-20 singer. So the band was constantly changing.

So I was very excited when I found out that MTV has a new reality show coming out called Making Menudo, premiering Thursday, October 25, at 10:30 p.m. — they’ve picked the 15 cute guys and now they are going to narrow it down to five guys. Each week, they will be put together in different groups. Then they'll learn a new song/dance routine that they’ll perform live and then one will get voted off — I cannot wait for the dancing (and obviously all the drama)!

CG! got an exclusive first-listen of their song "More than Words" (A E I O U)." And the coolest part? They recorded it in Spanish too — it's called “Más Que Amor (A E I O U).” We're sharing with you below!
