Ricky Martin Could Be The Next Walter Mercado

Look, we have to face the fact that Walter Mercado, AKA Shanti Ananda, is old and walking closer towards the bright light every day. Soon we're going to need a replacement and I see no better contender that Ricky Martin -- especially after reading this excerpt from his first-ever Advocate interview:

Che’s conflicting emotions are appealing to Martin. “I get to feel many things. I can go from anger to love to uncertainty within 30 minutes of the show,” he says. “That’s amazing because that’s what my life has been about for the last three years—feeling. Not sabotaging any kind of emotions. Letting everything just come through me and verbalize it. It’s a very spiritual exercise that I’ll do every night.”

See? "Feeling" and being "spiritual" is what Ricky Martin's life is about nowadays. And acting.

Like I said, Ricky can fill the spiritual void Walter Mercado is going to leave in all of us when she leaves us for good. Well, Rick won't be Walter's full replacement because there's really no replacing Shanti's awesomeness, but perhaps he can be some sort of placeholder? Yeah, that.
