Mariah Carey

On the above page (above on the main menu), I noted that Mariah Carey, like Beyonce, writes and produces her own music.

Here I will go farther.

Mariah Carey is one of the finest ever songwriters in the entire Soul and R&B tradition.

I mean, she wrote All I Want for Christmas is You, Vision of Love, One Sweet Day, and every other sweet, sophistocated, melodic song and pop hit that Mariah Carey ever sang, save only for a few covers on her Christmas album!

Including 18 number one hits on the Billboard chart!

And Mariah Carey is, for me, the finest producer that the entire English-language pop music scene has had since the end of the 1970's, save only for a few legends from the 60's and 70's that are still going!

I mean, on her Christmas album, she covered one of the most famous productions of Phil Spector himself- and it is not just Mariah's singing that measures up to the Phil Spector original!

So here's to the finest producer that the pop music scenes of America and Britain have had since the 1970's, and one of the finest Soul/R&B songwriters in the history of the genre- Mariah Carey!

God loves you!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson

P.S. It's no wonder that Mariah Carey sonetimes shows a little bit of ego- she's standing up for herself and women everywhere! Women, woman artists and woman writers don't get enough respect in the mass media, and absolutely no one in the mass media ever mentions that she writes and produces her own songs! Let alone mentions her among great songwriters or producers! Even though the finest pop productions from out of America since the 80's at least have been by women who also write the songs- Mariah and Beyonce! (Especially Independent Woman and Survivor in Beyonce's case!)

P.S. I know she co-writes and co-produces with Walter Afanasieff... well, The Beatles co-produce with George Martin, and they get credit for their own production and arrangement! And nothing Walter Afanasieff has done without her (or anything anyone else in America and Britain has produced, production-wise or chart-wise!) has been as good or as successful as what he did with Mariah!
