[esnedecor14]

Sparten gotta agree

[AluizioTimbauba]

Muito bom.... Parabéns.... Apresentação genial.

[payaxiz]

muy payaxiz, felicidades tiene su propio estilo, simplemente esta interpretando y canta con mucho gusto y baila fregon. no se esponjen. no sean payaxiz.

[raangelica1]

me encanta y sobre todo porque canta una cancion tan hermosa, como esta y para los otros, no es un payaso, cada persona tiene la libertad de cantar como lo sienta no hay que discriminar al resto y tiene harta personalidad ¿ya?

[SpartenJz52]

What the fuck is this!? I mean come on, the guy doesn't even sound like him! This guy sounds like a retarded Mexican squirrel on acid. They deffenitly got the wrong guy for this

[rockinrodney5000]

They brought the wrong guy to do this...

[papirius]

Такая энергетика, обалдеть!!! КЛАСС!!!



[MyElieltom]

BAILA LA LA LA BAMBA

[christheipod]

Shocking Shit !

[Colorado4722]

This is the worst thing I have ever seen!!!! He doesn't even act like Ritchie Valens!

[MARGARITA6581]

@Colorado4722 He doesn't need to sound like Ritchie.. I think he is a whole lot better and can really move it.. are u jealous lol

[nahpoli]

This version sucks!!!!!

[winterlonelywolf]

Why do they alway impersonate Mexicans or Latin people as sleazy and fornicators. NO offence to latin people but that is always the stereotype that is wrongly given to them Ritchie was a very humble and well brought up guy who came from a rural place with his conservative traditions. The producers got it soooo wrong for this one.

[RitaTunakTun]

I watched this 4 times, and now i like it

[ITS4390]

Shoulda gotten Los lobos ....

[fabiana6955]

muito boaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

[stratmentalist]

Crap!!!, every other version on youtube is better than this.

[Michi4110]

[MESSI622]

[NikkiNikole11]

never listen to this or it will make your ears bleed!!!

[14HF028]

PPPFFFF c 'est quoi ce mec ?????

[OsiRisKinGz21]

Good thing ritchie never really did this or he would never be famous

[venuszent]

lo hace muy bien tiene su estilo propio.

[venuszent]

yo no soy marinero soy capitan

[LunarHalo50]

guy is talentless and should be ashamed, give ritchie all the credit and try to inpersonate him,

lou diamond philips did a whole lot better job at it

[LunarHalo50]

guy is talentless and should be ashamed, give ritchie all the credit and try to inpersonate him,



[kelterizhere]

i want my 2 minutes and 27 seconds back..

[DwaneMafia]

Wtf? Ritchie must b pissed ass hell at dis guy nd wo ever let him go on stage

[taliban939]

Wtf have i just watched.........

[ivezb]

@ribicnejc I don't think it would be honorable for Ritchie Valens who is turning in his grave to have someone recreate this shit again!!! And no i don't think I'm Stupid....Stupid is what this guy is doing on stage!

[GringoHunter]

WTF is this shit!!?? he looks like EL CALIENTE from pollo loco! Buuuu!! buuuuu

[LauraLayla10]

super

[foster672]

no.



[moutinhodj]

jajajajajajajajajaja

[sUop99]

Garry busey playing Buddy Holly. Man, how'd it go from this to..."I hate boxes."

[MrSean677]

looks and sounds exactly like ritchie

sorry I couldnt say that with a straight face, this is pathetic

[KONJUNTO]

Music is about expression,and your own take or interpretation of music! Take something good from this video and improve yourself instead of condeming!

[mopbrothers]

The women are going wild. Give the guy credit. He does put on quite a show.

[MrPoppa2]

Ya, I know, I was there , at the second to last show in Fort Dodge,Ia. Richie gave a great performance, and yes, He used his Strat, and He knew how to play it . That show was so great, and it still haunts me all these later...poppa

[Rogieization]

Rediculous.

[aztlancontradanza1]

Who is this clown? He should be ashamed of himself for turning a sacred icon of Chicano music into a "I Love Lucy" sideshow act. Might as well be singing "Zip a Dee Doo Dah" while eating watermelon. Gimme a break.

[mopbrothers]

Love Valens, but I enjoyed this version, too. Lots of energy. 

[2ausome]

nobody can top Ritchie Valens... nobody can impersonate him hes to good!!

[Thy1s0wn3d]

@2ausome

Lou Diamond Phillips can.

[CoralStellaLou]

holy crap... This is worse than the chipmunk version... completely agree 100% with Steamaddict1603. That is definatly NOT ritchie valens, and whats with the backup singers??? females??? rly???? crap. just terrible.

[1961excalibur]

not spanish he's cuba ...

[vVASuP]

this guy looks nothing like valens

[agochoa]

This guy looks like Prince crossed with a mariachi. Why do nearly all "Ritchie" impersonators look like a flamboyant version of Lou Diamond Phillips playing Ritchie? I hate that. Acting in the fourth person. Get a good looking, husky, guitar playin chicano up there.

[Cherry00Me]

awful.....

[GRINDBOY118]

lmao wtf

[Machine0141]

I was wondering why this had so many dislikes when i opened it..... Then i heard it.

[xkissofdeathx88]

He acts like Elvis prestly acting as a spanish ritchie

[xkissofdeathx88]

@steamaddict1603 and the rest... I TOTALLY AGREEE!!!!

[UGOTM3RKED]

that doesn't sound as good as Ritchie Valens

[elcabrachupas]

Que estupido ....

[carlosnaider]

Y este Payaso de donde salio?

[jango609]

muy payaso



[9492180]

Wtf tthis guy i way to old to play rit chie and he sings horriable im disgusted

[MrAcika1996]

U Srbiji se ovo slusa svaki dan

[jonlarkster]

this clown reminds more of jerry lewis from the 50`s than ritchie valens. is this from saturday nite live?

[Niceboy3377]

THE BEST PART IS 2:27 :D

[Aras034]

@Niceboy3377

I see what you did there

[OoSPIDERturtlesoO]

Are u shiting me!!?? This is the worse cover ever. I feel slightly gay now.......god

[mtsacricky09]

This was "The Day La Bamba Died" :'( ..Hasata el propio Ritchie debe de estar revolcandose de coraje en su propia tumba

[mewmelody1]

Wow... This is Great! NOT! THIS IS THE WORST ATTEMPT TO BE RITCHIE VALENS, RITCHIE MUST BE IN DISGUST!

[chillbill48]

the worst ever attempt at being ritchie valens he was a gentle boy with love in his heart this man performs like he has swallowed fire ants....

[tomspike1401]

what the shit is this???



[MrCommunitychanel]

wtf is this LOL wow killing ritchie's image

[Merrier15]

He kinda looks like Alberto del rio from wwe

[betoneitor34]

basura deberas y para los ke ablan ingles its shiit men shit

[Bigpanch1]

30 seconds in i started loading my pistol.........

[Hot293wildcat]

Man a lot of many comments. I'd give this guy points for at least trying.

[CJDJ1999]

CRAPPIE!! SOZ

[Flipstar76]

i can translate it but it doesnt sound right in english

[majestik815]

CRAP

[miamifins23]

this is rediculous............ using Ritchie's legacy just for entertainment.... just because he can sing la bamba doesnt mean he's impersonating Valens. the way hes singing it is not even similar to Ritchie, the dancing is just wrong, and Ritchie never sang without a guitar in his hands, and this idiot is just singing and running all over the stage...... complete disrespect.

[mtsacricky09]

This was the day La Bamba DIED!! Ritchie must be in disgust inside hes casket screaming FAGGOT!!

[MrJumpmanJunior]

Hey when did Ritchie become Puerto Rican LOL. Actually this looks more like a clip from a Gay Pride Parade than anything resembling the 1950s.

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 It's Ms. Director and this conversation has gon to far and i'm done, if you want to have a debate fine but do it with someone else please

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 hold yur role ok no need to be angry I was just stating my opinion alright. If you disagree with me, I'm ok with that but the insult just took it too far. If you want a debate, we can do it peacefully with no insults or put downs. Alright?

[MegaRockmetal666]

WTF HAPPEN TO RITCHIE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 True like the actor playing Buddy butchering the song title.

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 In my origional comment, I was stating my opinions which obvisly are diffrent from yours. I'm sorry if I upset you but the original was MY opinion and not anyone elss'

[321ElZorro]

asi no era Ritchie ... se equivocaron por completo....

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 i'm actually a theatre director

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 In life, i'm in theatre a i direct

[evackmortem]

I live in garner, IA which is just 11 miles away from the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake. You would not believe how many people have played here like Iron Maiden, the Beatles, Judas priest,ect. Buddy Holly is still missed today.

[Steamaddict1603]

@JimboGee1234 I like things as close to historically accurate as possible. I know it's a musical but the director needs to do better casting next time.

[donninzagreb]

never seen such enthusiasm from Ritchie... it scares me.

[shadowofcalistis]

luh bammbuhh

[jammyroger2010]

i word. CRAP

[TheEleanor69]

Arriba Veracruz!!!!

[joffrecin]

y esta cancion por que la hicieron los gringos si es mexicana es nuestra y ARRIBA MEXICO y soy mexicano y lo sere hasta el ultimo dia de mi vida!

[ivezb]

This guy should never act again!!!! This vato sounds like shit!!!!!!

[ribicnejc]

@ivezb Man you are stupid try you to sing or act like this

[1977napoli]

@ivezb Ritchie wasnt gay. He makes Ritchie Valens silly.

[ilovemirror91]

it's really La Bamba

[TheFelizfilho]

muito bom! muito ritmo, presença de palco, dança muito sensual para a época e ele já dançava assim, será que o Ritchie Valens também dançava assim? La Bamba para todos.

[eeeewd33]

if this were really ritchie would be playing guitar and not sounding like any idiot like this guy and ritchie never ran around stage and did pelvic thrust like that way to FUCK EVERYTHING UP

[wrestlingkid123able]

DONT MAKE AN AWESOME SONG INTO A PIECE OF SHIT PLEASE

[capitolemiproducer]

This sox. Richie palyed his own gutriar, and Buddy didn't tlak like a limey

[theawesomewillyt]

This singer is an asshole

[atlasperros]

he's like a mix of desi arnaz and elvis......DESVIS

[jonathanbennett120]

NOT MY RITCHIE!!!!

[serendippitydoo]

haha .. listening to Buddy Holly with a British accent ... he was from TEXAS ... what a friggin joke...

[cabroncochito]

suck my d.i.ck b.i. tch

[Hot293wildcat]

@cabroncochito

ouch!

[Big459S]

Contrary to the revues here I think this guy is talented and Ritchie would have gotten a thrill out of watching him. He's also very athletic and strong! Be a little more positive with people~~~geeze!!! Seems the audience enjoyed the show.

[teanna1980]

@Big459S No matter where he is from we need to see more like him, as men have their beautiful women to watch, women need beautiful sexy men to watch. It's about time women get a little of something to get excited about. Then maybe we could see better than we can think.

[jwm2777]

He acted like he was God's gift to women. The REAL Ritchie Valens didn't act like that. He sucked.

[teanna1980]

@jwm2777 Men are usually jealous if there is a man that comes on strong to women, but if there is a woman that comes on strong to men the women are just bitching if they don't like it. He may not act like Ritchie Valens but..................

[missocampou]

tha fool gay

[teanna1980]

@missocampou I don't know, but he touches my "heart"

[cakiro1]

tu no eres richie,, hijo de la puttttt.... eres un puttt negro.... no lo imites

[shelbygirl96s]

@cakiro1 the only thing i got was negro, not that im racist or something thats all i could understand lol

[kubasinski123]

fucke n spiks go get some taco u putamadre dickhead u sound like my ass when i taking shiet u r la pussybamba

[lazyericzilla]

FUCK THIS ASSHOLE HE SUCKS GET OFF THE FUCKING STAGE FUCKING FAGETASS MEXICAN SUCK A DICK GOD IM FUCKING PISS AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

[ThePattycake1313]

Ritchie and Buddy out to go hunt these jokers! Look nothing like them sound nothing like them. I am going to puke.

[javieradicto]

Ritchie Valens era mexicano, no un negro

Ritchie Valens was a Mexican, not a black man!!!!

[Hestrikesagain]

The guy with the glasses just butchered the title of the song with his horrible spanish lol

[MrMasterryu1]

@Hestrikesagain

You mean Buddy Holly?

[Alucard767676]

@Hestrikesagain Perhaps he's imitating probably not very cultural Texan of the 50's?

[Rodrigo11861]

@Hestrikesagain cayada mejor racista

[mohara1984]

@Hestrikesagain damn lol

[homieny]

What a fucking joke this guy is, first of all ritchie was not black or Dominican like this Guy, second he cant sing for shit get a real job u asshole ur not mexican or mexican american to at least get close to Ritchie pendejo

[Steamaddict1603]

DAMN! Ritchie is probably looking down in disgust. Valens was a very shy man and those dance moves are certainly not those of a shy man plus this dude is wayy too old, Ritchie was 17 when he preformed on February 2, 1959.

[BringM3D34th]

@Steamaddict1603 no he wasnt

[BringM3D34th]

@Steamaddict1603 he wasnt 17

[Steamaddict1603]

@BringM3D34th I hate to disagree but he was 17. May 13,1941 to February3,1959 is 17 years. I'm talking about the real ritchie, not this actor. In fact there is a documentary here on this site that shows a photo of his mother, sisters,and brothers at the gravesite on May. His sister said that the picture was taken on the birthday that he missed, plus if you look up the day the music died on here you can find the original radio broadcasts where they list the ages of Buddy, Ritchie, and J.P.

[PrinceQwiiff]

@Steamaddict1603 La Bamba Is Just Not From Valens Alone, It Was Famous Before Valens Even Touched It. . .

[strancismuscles]

@PrinceQwiiff you a scrub ass nigga. you should slap your self in the face and choke on a woody! You dont gotta hate. just appreciate who made it famous. Always has to be a hatin ass nigga like you! NIGGA your a Scrub C ME NIGGA

[Steamaddict1603]

@PrinceQwiiff I know but it was Valens who infulenced other chicano rockers like selena to blend rock n' roll with old time spanish songs. It's actually kinda cool when you come down to it.

[HypnotikEyez14]

WEAK SAUCE......DUDE BLOWS.......

[eeeewd33]

awful way to murder la bamba ritchie is probably rolling over in his grave go rest his soul RIP RITCHIE!!!!

[xShawtyyox]

Thumb down!!! ugly,can't dance,can't do no good inpression on richie smh

[78720]

my finger didnt slip when i press the thumbs down 

[osmark38]

este Ritchie Valens es muy degenerado para bailar, en esa época no se bailaba de esa manera y no eran tan provocadores

[sabertoothray]

was he high?? dear lord my ears..

[78720]

he cant sing like Richie fail!!

[alweld]

Why is this guy singing this song? he should be ashamed of himself

[junior61106]

The crowd should throw lemons at this asshole.

[maria2966]

his hot!!! cant sing but hot and has a tight ass! xx

[studlicus]

what the hell

[eheads09]

is he drunk?

[GoucheGizmo]

since when did ritchie valens do PELVIC THRUSTING MOTIONS AND BOUNCE AROUND LIKE AN IDIOT? i thought he PLAYED guitar on this song

[lexierokey]

I saw this on Wednesday, but the cast was a lot better. I can't find a version of this song as good as that.

[paddy2youse]

Why the fuck does EVERY film (this mess and The Buddy Holly Story) insist on hideouly misrepresenting reality?? On the real Winter Dance Party Tour, there was no full backing band. There were no cheesy females doing whatever they seem to be doing here. Such bullshit. This looks like a VERY off-The Strip Vegas show of famous imitators sometime in the mid-80s or something. Absolutely disgusting.

[huronstone1]

Ritchie Valens must have turned in his grave every time this guy sang this song. This guy just ruins it.

[junior61106]

Forget turning in his grave, he's friggin spinning in it. Ritchie should come down from heaven and put a serious beating on this retard.

[huronstone1]

This guy focuses too much on the exotic parts.

[Wkenda]

lo peor que he visto de este grupo de no mostrar fajos

[Wkenda]

lo peor que he visto de este grupo de no mostrar fajos

[chibestia]

ricardo no era puto como este cabron

[Wkenda]

are these rejects ?

[Solo6715]

wow...I cant believe that he is in this show as he is a complete disgrace to ritchie valens and his memory. he acts more like a drunken ricky ricardo plus his vocals suck big time. I will never go see this show andn the audience must be his relatives because no one that knows the history of buddy and ritchie and the bopper would go see something so stupid and unreal.

if your gonna do these guys...do it with class and not fake moves and actions



[Wkenda]

@Solo6715 to true ritchie would of never moved like a cheap tart like the twat on here

[Lockdown377]

wow i never comment in youtube befor but this fake ass richie made do it,

bob and richie would of KICK HIS ASS!!!!!!!!

[hermsboy1]

This shit. what the fuck is it?

[Khaos696]

I agree terrible Ritchie, And look at Bopper Jr back there, making a living off of acting like his dad..

[lukagaca]

I like the Buddy Holly impresion, but, they should sue the Ritchie Valens actor!!!

[Slash1117]

MY GOD!!!! this is absolutly horrible. Ritchie did play the guitar . . . and didnt act gay

[The20chicken]

you fucking suck dude

[danyux199]

maldita jalada

[NativeIce]

this guy should fly to clear lake

[BlackKnight1586]

He is not as good as Ritchie.

[CoolioRockstar]

This guy SUCKS!!!!!

If Richie and the others survived the crash, Richie would still kick ass!!!!

I STILL AM A FAN OF BUDDY HOLLY AND RICHIE VALENS!!!!!

[Deppforlife]

What the fuck was that!?! That is a disgrace to Ritchie

[goodrocker23]

what the fuck is this? that idiot killed the song..

[bigbangvic79]

What a clown! it is sad to watch a cartoon-over acted Ritchie Valens, The first Ritchie on Buddy was Italian and did a better job. The producers have to do a better work casting performers.

[aburridoymas]

crap

[aburridoymas]

crap.

[Arran64]

That was shite.

Nothing like Ritchie.
