About Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands: Mariah fan since 1993.

Re: Hopes for the memoir (94,556) (94,558) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Irregardless" is not a word Mariah invented. According to Merriam-Webster's: "The reason we define irregardless is very simple: it meets our criteria for inclusion. This word has been used by a large number of people (millions) for a long time (over two hundred years) with a specific and identifiable meaning (regardless). The fact that it is unnecessary, as there is already a word in English with the same meaning (regardless) is not terribly important." (Saturday 11 July 2020; 23:41)

Re: Hidden meaning of Don't Forget About Us (94,474) (94,475) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Lord knows how many times you already told us that you're in the Say Somethin' remix. Aren't you getting sick of telling us this again? I know I am. I've checked it, and the first time you said this was in November 2018, almost 2 years ago. (Monday 29 June 2020; 16:00)

Re: CB tour (94,021) (94,023) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I think going to a record signing in Amsterdam, seeing her face to face and touching her, tops both your experiences. (Thursday 7 May 2020; 13:29)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,970) (93,976) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands In fact there are three Butterfly covers: the eyes-open version, the eyes-closed version and the close-up version. I like the close-up version the best. (Monday 4 May 2020; 19:49)

Re: I Had A Vision Of Love (92,193) (92,195) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm surprised you remember Isaac Ortiz. That was 6 years ago. (Monday 6 January 2020; 16:46)

Re: Mariah (92,178) (92,179) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I hope you know some math, so you know 1.6 billion in Asia Pacific alone can't be right. That would mean all her albums (including the singles) would have sold at least 100 million each. Even Michael Jackson's Thriller didn't sell that much (worldwide)! (Monday 6 January 2020; 12:29)

Re: Walter A. gets really candid (91,833) (91,836) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "If Walter was this amazing producer, he would've had a career still to this day." Before you talk nonsense (like you usually do), you should check the facts first. Walter Afanasieff is an amazing producer who worked with dozens of artists. Just to name a few: - Barbra Streisand - Celine Dion - Destiny's Child - Michael Bolton - Kenny G - Daryl Hall - Luther Vandross - New Kids on the Block - Dusty Springfield - All-4-One - Tina Arena - Gary Barlow - Babyface - Paul Anka - Savage Garden - Marc Anthony - Ricky Martin - Lara Fabian - Christina Aguilera - Josh Groban - Lionel Richie - Jessica Simpson - Earth, Wind & Fire - Leona Lewis - Brian McKnight - Idina Menzel (Saturday 21 December 2019; 01:54)

Re: Caution (91,655) (91,656) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm sorry, but selling 100,000 units of a song for a legendary artist like Mariah Carey is nothing to be proud of. (Monday 16 December 2019; 10:19)

Re: Last post (90,805) (90,806) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Anyways Mariah is the greatest director I have ever seen, and Glitter is the greatest movie." I can't wait for Edward's response. (Thursday 12 September 2019; 16:00)

Re: Caution (90,738) (90,739) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Caution has now sold 115,000 copies in the US and 250,000 copies worldwide." Wow, this is really something to be proud of. (And yes, I'm being sarcastic.) (Sunday 1 September 2019; 23:54)

Re: Andrew's farewell (90,589) (90,590) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Andrew got banned, because in every message he posted he insulted Mariah. Here is his last message he tried to post: "The work she had done is simply awful. Her face looks totally different. Bulbous even. Her tits are ridiculous. But then I honestly suppose that the fatter she gets the bigger implants she gets to look proportionate." (Monday 12 August 2019; 23:39)

Re: Old Town Road (90,465) (90,466) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Why does everyone belittle this song? You call this song a "poor man's Over and Over" and forgettable, you call Lil Nas X a "one-hit wonder". Is it because Old Town Road broke Mariah's record? How can you call Lil Nas X a one-hit wonder if this is his first single? And if there's one song in Mariah's catalogue that is forgettable, than it is One Sweet Day. I really like Old Town Road and I think the song is better than anything on Caution. (But then again, I think Rainbow is Mariah's best album and I think Did I Do That is the best song on that album.)

Re: 4th of July revisit (90,356) (90,357) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands And the Morales Funky Club Mix of The Roof is one of her best remixes ever. (Friday 19 July 2019; 16:11)

Re: Mariah Pride (89,819) (89,821) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Also there is not a single blood of culture in [straight white male]." You're an idiot. (Monday 3 June 2019; 14:26)

The Netherlands (89,637) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands WE WON!!! (Sunday 19 May 2019; 01:09)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,497) (89,498) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "For me what's off-putting is seeing someone old enough to be a grandmother being so sexual." Are you talking about Madonna or Mariah? (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 18:30)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,485) (89,487) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Caution has now sold over 92,000 copies in the US and 240,000 copies worldwide. Not too shabby when you consider Beyonce and Jay-Z's Everything is Love has sold 500,000 copies in the US and 2 million unit equivalents worldwide.' Recently, you said that Everything is Love was underwhelming. Now you say it sold 5.5 times more albums than Caution in the USA and 8 times more worldwide. But what amazes me is that you call Caution's sales not too shabby compared to Beyonce. You're really wearing pink glasses. (Tuesday 7 May 2019; 09:49)

Re: Caution 93k (89,093) (89,094) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "In four years MIAM has sold 127,000 copies in the US while in just five months Caution has 93,000 copies in the US." In 22 years, Butterfly has sold 3,807,000 copies in the USA (according to Wikipedia). That's only 14,420 copies per month. Caution has sold 18,600 copies per month. So Caution is doing way better than Butterfly. B, I love your attempts in trying to look for reasons why Caution is not the flop everybody else knows it is. (Wednesday 10 April 2019; 23:32)

Re: Caution 93k (89,073) (89,076) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "[Caution] is doing far better than anyone here or at Epic ever thought it would." Not true. I thought it would sell way over 100k. I think the album and singles underperformed. The album was only for three weeks in the Billboard 200 and none of the singles even entered the Billboard Hot 100. (Tuesday 9 April 2019; 09:45)

Re: MC fan collection Germany (88,964) (88,982) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm sorry, but that was also the time I stopped collecting articles from newspapers and magazines. Maybe someone else here might be interested. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 22:13)

Happy birthday (88,813) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Happy birthday Mariah! Enjoy the day with your family, friends and fans. (Wednesday 27 March 2019; 00:40)

Re: 40 million on YouTube views for Caution (88,658) (88,659) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Well, you asked for it. I compared Caution to Charmbracelet and here are the results: 1) Charmbracelet sold over 3 million copies worldwide, Caution less than 200.000. 2) Charmbracelet had two (minor) hit singles: "Through The Rain" (a top 10 hit in 7 countries) and "Boy (I Need You)" (no. 17 in the UK). Caution had zero hit singles. According to Wikipedia, "With You" and "A No No" did not chart anywhere in the world ("With You" only reached top 10 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, it did not enter the Hop 100). So in comparison, Charmbracelet performed 15x better than Caution. (Sunday 17 March 2019; 15:44)

Re: Have lunch with Mariah's former manager (88,488) (88,493) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Have fun in Norway, but that's not where I live. (Tuesday 12 March 2019; 00:22)
