'All I Want for Christmas' Co Writer Questions Mariah Careys Claim She Wrote It

Money Saving

Don't get me wrong , i like Mariah Carey, and her christmas hit is iconic

But i would also question her claim she created this hit on her casio keyboard when she was a child

This is what her co writer is saying and he says they actually created the song together

He says even now she has no notion of how music is created and doesn't know about chord changes and music theory

So how could she have created a complex song on a childs keyboard as she stated in her memoirs ?

In the meantime she is being sued by the authors of a different song with the same title seeking $20 million in damages

Maybe this is the reason for her claim , to show she produced this when she was a child ?

But why the co writer does not back her up is a mystery , surely he stands to lose out if there is a lawsuit ?

Anyway we will have to wait to see the outcome , but i believe 'all she wants for christmas' is some peace , and possibly another casio keyboard to produce some more hits

She knows whether she is telling the truth or not and has to live with herself at the end of the day.So many songs so much better if you ask me.You got it.I've never been a big Mariah fan anyway.lot of whining and screeching in my opinion. Bit of Ella much more melodious

This just reinforces that it's best if song writers have proof of songs they have written 🤔
