  • Mariah Carey says she composed "All I Want for Christmas" as a kid on her little Casio keyboard. However, her former producer Walter Afanasieff, who co-wrote the song, is singing a very different tune. He says "she [Mariah Carey] doesn’t play anything; she doesn’t play keyboard or piano." Now, the Queen of Christmas is calling the claims "ridiculous.” She also posted a VH1 interview from 1994 where she said the lyrics and melody for the holiday hit came to her quickly.

    The actual quote is, "This song that I wrote BASICALLY as a kid on my little Casio keyboard.” Walter has been twisting this singular quote for YEARS to create a falsehood about Mariah claiming to write the song in her childhood, which would leave him out of the picture. In actuality, the clip from VH1 shows that the "kid" or young woman Mariah was speaking of when she spoke to Billboard in 2017, has been telling the same story about writing the lyrics and melody with a keyboard since 1994. Nowhere does Mariah claim to be an outstanding pianist, but she did know enough to capture the melody that came to her, on her own. Her story has not changed. What has changed is the popularity of the song. This is what Walter had to say just a year before Mariah spoke to Billboard. "The thing about Mariah is that she’s such a master melodist,” songwriter Walter Afanasieff told Billboard in 2016, reminiscing about working with Carey and Boyz II Men on “One Sweet Day.” “Today, that’s commonly referred to as a ‘top-line writer’…. someone who can start singing right off the bat. Mariah is such a gifted top-line writer that she can sing melodies and come up with lyric ideas on the spot.” That doesn't sound like someone that doesn't understand music. Rather, that sounds like a brilliant songwriter that is more than capable of writing a hit song and should not in any way minimize her genius to protect a man's bruised ego.

    You don't have to know or really play an instrument to come up with a tune. Since Mariah has the ability to hear melodies and touch keys on piano, it sounds as if thats what she did. Then asked Walter for help. Again you don't have to be a pro or anything just to come up with a tune. All you have to do is go over to an instrument and press a key or pluck a string and hear a sound and mess with it to create a what's in ur head. That's what I do. Plus why is it all of the sudden that Walter chooses to have a war over this song once its become as big of a hit as it is?

    Issues with claims like these is mainly that what people can say can be interpreted in many different ways, usually the wrong way than what was actually intended. It’s quite possible she meant that the concept for the melody was in her head for forever, but that doesn’t detract from the co writing that took place in the song whatsoever. She’s not saying she wrote the entire song as a kid, that’s just where the idea of the song was born.

    The reason why there is so many controversy it is because the song is so popular and it is at the top of the charts all over the world. So it is obvious that everyone wants to get piece of the pie (money wise) and wants to get recognition as co-writer.....as far this is how it works...if Mariah wrote the complete song and the producer or studio engineer made some recommendation with a few charges to the lyrics that does not give him the right to make claims that he wrote the song. His claim will be in produccing the finish product as the musical arranger, not as the person who wrote lyrics of the song.
