Mariah Carey called a “Liar” by Christmas Classic co-author

Success in all seasons Christmas since it was released in 1994, the Christmas classic All I want for Christmas is you in Mariah Carey became the subject of a disagreement between the artist and his co-writer, the Brazilian Walter Afanasieff.

Afanasieff gave a recent podcast interview Hot Tkes & Deep Dives with Jess Rothschild and refuted the claim of careywho had already stated in interviews that the Christmas song was composed by her as a child, on a small keyboard of the Casio.

“When she started mentioning the fact that, ‘Oh, I wrote this song when I was a little girl!’ But why didn’t you say that 12 or 13 or 15 years earlier? So it developed in her head.”started Walter Afanasieff.

And fired: “He doesn’t play anything, he doesn’t play keyboards or piano. He doesn’t understand music, he doesn’t know about chord changes and music theory or anything like that. He doesn’t know a diminished chord from a minor seventh chord to a major seventh chord So to claim that she wrote a song with a rather complicated chord structure with her finger on a Casio keyboard when he was a little girl is kind of bullshit.

All I want for Christmas is you it is an integral part of the album Happy Christmasreleased by Mariah Carey in 1994.
