About Sarah from Netherlands:

Collection of thoughts (96,112) by Sarah from Netherlands - I thought the Last Show at Sing Sing included Walter A at her kitchen table. Seems in line with how she writes about people with whom she at some point doesn't want to associate with anymore. - About her not taking blame: we've always known this. Let's not pretend to be surprised. Down to the deviation from her "original notes and thoughts" for Glitter. That's just how movie production works. - Divas moment: have yet to read this part, but from what I've read here this is also not news. - Loverboy: she's stated on more than one occasion that she likes it better with the Candy sample. I do too. OK, that was it (for now). (Monday 12 October 2020; 11:49)

Re: Superbowl Halftime Show (92,731) (92,732) by Sarah from Netherlands Would be a great show. But not for something that calls for high energy like the Superbowl Halftime Show. (Wednesday 5 February 2020; 15:31)

Re: MC needs hot 90's rnb sample (92,246) (92,257) by Sarah from Netherlands You mean like she did on I Don't? (Friday 10 January 2020; 22:22)

Something I noticed on the Hot 100 (91,721) by Sarah from Netherlands Not to be *that* person but Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree is also really gaining momentum. Currently at #3, up from #5 last week. Let's hope Mariah can hold onto #1. I'm seeing lots of positive articles from all popular websites. (Tuesday 17 December 2019; 15:34)

Re: Millennials (91,632) (91,637) by Sarah from Netherlands Millennials are adults under 40. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Let it go. Then comes Gen Z. (Saturday 14 December 2019; 20:10)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey congratulates Lil Nas X (90,485) (90,491) by Sarah from Netherlands What are you even talking about? The remix rule got stricter over time. Mariah has made use of the possibility to create a whole new song but call it a remix to have it count towards the same track on the charts, but early 00s Billboard changed the rules saying remixes can’t be vastly different anymore. You can add an artist or a verse, but you can no longer change the beat and/or melody entirely. Sooooo that whole rule as an argument kinda fails here. Besides, records are meant to be broken. She still has song of the decade two decades in a row. Relax. (Wednesday 31 July 2019; 07:37)

Re: Cosmopolitan (90,251) (90,258) by Sarah from Netherlands I just read the interview. She really doesn’t care anymore and I kind of admire her for it. Although there were definitely some judgmental, cringy comments made. (Tuesday 9 July 2019; 18:35)

Re: Songs least liked (90,023) (90,030) by Sarah from Netherlands Interesting, let me give it a try. Mariah Carey - If I have to pick one, it'd be You Need Me. Production-wise only though. I can't stand that guitar. Vocally it's a gem. Emotions - I can't decide. Don't make me choose. Music Box - Now That I Know Merry Christmas - Again vocally stunning, but I'd go with Jesus Born on this Day. Daydream - The interlude-Daydream mix thing. Butterfly - I love all of it tbh. Rainbow - Maybe TGIFY, even though Joe is one my faves too. I love the Make it Last remix though. Glitter - Want You. Expected more from a duet with Eric Benét. Charmbracelet - Boy TEOM - Your Girl E=MC2 - Last Kiss. Second half of the album has a lot of similar sounding songs on it. Very nice, but not exciting. MOAIA - Ribbon. Easily. MIAMTEC - Heavenly Caution - Probably Stay Long Love You. OK, that was pretty difficult for some of these albums. (Saturday 22 June 2019; 08:30)

Re: Curaçao North Sea Jazz (89,847) (89,848) by Sarah from Netherlands Enjoy. I wanted to go to Curaçao NSJ last year but was disappointed with the lineup. Can you imagine my shock when they announced Mariah? (And Maxwell.) (Wednesday 5 June 2019; 21:33)

Re: A No No feat. Stefflon Don (88,357) (88,370) by Sarah from Netherlands It’s not what we hoped for but everything featuring Stefflon Don is on constant rotation on Dutch urban radio so that’s good I guess. (Thursday 7 March 2019; 20:32)

Re: After the Caution tour (88,291) (88,297) by Sarah from Netherlands That's just factually inaccurate. The experience may be different, but the quality is definitely not better. Have you tried watching a DVD on a 4K TV? (Monday 4 March 2019; 06:53)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,508) by Sarah from Netherlands Special K: Hey, I absolutely feel ya on that. When I Believe I Can Fly came out with the Space Jam soundtrack, Step in the Name of Love, the man's musical genius is undeniable. So it's understandable. That said, I do applaud you that in spite of that you no longer want to support him. B: I know what it means. The problem with that is that with supporting his music/art you're putting money directly into his pocket that will allow him to continue doing what he's been doing. So if you're OK with doing that, nobody can stop you, of course. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 10:18)

Re: MC and judging R Kelly (87,494) (87,507) by Sarah from Netherlands Well, you're right about the part where it's sort of scary that a television special can spark all this outrage. But the thing is: it didn't reveal a lot of new things from what I gather (haven't seen it). These things were always a public secret. Is he an anomaly? Good chance he's not. Does that mean we should let it slide and continue to celebrate him as the general public? See, I don't think so. I deleted all his music off my iPod years ago and will call other people out for supporting him. Same as I would for people who still support Weinstein, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby etc. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 07:23)

Re: R. Kelly (87,486) (87,487) by Sarah from Netherlands There's a very big difference between MJ and R. Kelly and saying you "separate the man from his music" is just irresponsible. We have known for years about Kelly. People in Chicago have reported for years that he posted up outside of schools to prey on young girls. He forged papers to marry and rape an underage Aaliyah who was never able to talk about the situation later in life (look up Dame Dash's comments). People stood there and allowed this to happen all for another payday. And we, the public, knew this too. A video featuring the man and a 14 year old girl surfaces in 2003 and we're gonna pretend we didn't know and we're gonna keep lining his pockets? I'm so disappointed in humanity. Or the lack thereof. (Monday 7 January 2019; 13:27)

Re: R. Kelly (87,470) (87,478) by Sarah from Netherlands She posted a picture of them in what looked like a studio once. I was disappointed in her then for working with him and am now with her silence on the matter. Same with Ratner, Mayweather. (Monday 7 January 2019; 06:41)

Re: Meet and Greet in December (87,373) (87,380) by Sarah from Netherlands That’s a really nice picture. (Thursday 3 January 2019; 09:07)

Re: Oh Santa (87,088) (87,090) by Sarah from Netherlands I'm with you, Anthony. I start playing Oh Santa before AIWFCIY. *gasp* (Monday 17 December 2018; 12:24)

Re: Album cover (84,935) (84,936) by Sarah from Netherlands Yeah I'm guessing each strip of tape will be removed to uncover it. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 14:04)

Re: Vocal analysis (83,990) (83,996) by Sarah from Netherlands No melisma in Without You? Are we listening to the same song? (Tuesday 25 September 2018; 08:11)

Re: GTFO (83,721) (83,725) by Sarah from Netherlands I really like it. Wish she'd use her full voice more but oh well. Def not a live track though, as was mentioned earlier. But most radio tracks in this style/genre aren't. (Thursday 13 September 2018; 15:14)

JD hate (82,778) by Sarah from Netherlands Everybody needs to stop hating on JD. You keep saying how you want her to work with new producers, then the album comes around and all the JD-produced tracks become fan favorites. Every time. Plus he's probably one of the few who can catch Mariah's authentic sound. It might not be what the radio wants, but that is what I want as a fan. (Wednesday 13 June 2018; 08:27)

Re: Tickets (82,706) (82,718) by Sarah from Netherlands Eventim is part of Mojo/LiveNation. Check who's organizing it, and get tickets there. The link will probably be up on Mariah's site. If not, go to the venue's website and click through there. Anywhere else will be ticket scalpers. (Saturday 9 June 2018; 09:51)

Re: Tickets for European tour (82,639) (82,642) by Sarah from Netherlands Never mind. Got it. 4. That’s unfortunate. Got a group of 7. (Monday 4 June 2018; 22:27)

Tickets for European tour (82,639) by Sarah from Netherlands Does anybody know what the limit of tickets is per order for the Honey B. Fly presale? (Monday 4 June 2018; 15:53)

Re: Take your time MC (82,310) (82,311) by Sarah from Netherlands He lost his touch when his mom passed away. (Sunday 6 May 2018; 14:15)
