72 hours on the road with Sarah Connor (Yam)

72 hours on the road with Sarah Connor
Yam, April 2003


The invitation came at short notice, but exactly at the right time. Sarah Connor spent three days promoting her current single He's Unbelievable in Spain - and Yam! was there too. A good oppurtunity for the reporters to enjoy of the sunshine in Madrid, Spain.

And even a better change to spent 72 hours on Sarah's heels and ask a few questions: What makes her happy? What makes her excited? What hobbys does she have? We already got the first answears on the airport of Madrid:

Sarah likes sports! The hotel in the capital of Spain has to be swapped to another - it didn't have a gym. "If I have some spare time I won't just stare at the telly, I'll rather work out", says the 22 year old.

"I need that to set my mind free." Some relaxation is also needed as Sarah's promo shedule in Spain is really tight. Every day several tv performances, radio shows and endless interviews with the same questions.

They move from place to place in a van. On board are also Sabine, Dennis, Pravit and another Sabine - Sarah's dancers that she calls "my family". With one of the dancers, the expression is not so wrong as Pravit is Sarah's brother-in-law. He's been married with her sister Anna-Maria (21) for over a year.

"We also have to thank them for the entertainment here", the singer from Delmenhorst notes. Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" is playing on the CD player.

"I've had the album for a long time already but it was just laying around. My sisters told me 'You just have to listen to it' I love it - especially the track 'Impossible'."

Before the recording of a soap-gala Sarah calls her boyfriend Natural-singer Marc (24). She just keeps repeating "Yam!" to him - followed by a lot of laughter.

"At the moment the Natural guys are playing a crazy came", explains Sarah who's been Marc's girlfriend for 11 months. "They try to answear to all possible questions by using the same words 10 times. But I'm not too pleased about that..."

After three days we fly back to Germany. The family trip is over - and all the questions have been answeared: Sarah has no diva behaviour, loves her boyfriend and likes sports. Nothing new though. But it was warm...
