Once again, this permanent A list singer/diva is trying to pretend she wrote her biggest hit.

She got a co-writing credit, but the idea and most of the work was done by another.

The same person who wrote all her biggest hits. It is only because of who her significant other was at the time that she got co-writing credits of many of them.

Meanwhile, she doesn’t correct any of the impressions of her fans who then trash not only the writer but his family too.

Estranged From Mariah Carey, ‘All I Want for Christmas’ Co-Writer Calls No. 1 ‘Bittersweet’

Christmas is a time when things often become difficult for divorced parents. That seems to hold true for Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff, the mother and father of “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which is arguably the most popular holiday song in the world right now, and certainly the most favored one to have come about in the last 50 years.

The child has grown up beautifully: This week, it set a record for the longest time elapsed between the release of a song and it hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — 25 years — and also became the first holiday tune to top that storied chart since “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late).” (It’s also Carey’s 19th No. 1 on that chart, and her first since 2008.)

But the two credited co-writers and co-producers aren’t exactly celebrating being co-parents this year. After working together on smashes like “Hero” and “One Sweet Day” as well as nearly the entirety of the 1994 “Merry Christmas” album, they became estranged and haven’t spoken in more than 20 years. To Afanasieff’s chagrin, in interviews Carey has given about “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Carey has seemed to claim sole authorship of the modern holiday standard, suggesting that she wrote it by herself on a Casio keyboard, conflicting with his account of their composing the music together while he played the piano.- Source
