Mariah Carey: ‘I Encourage People To Write Their Own Songs’

Published: Monday 17th Feb 2014 by David

While the bulk of her contemporaries have hit-churning songwriters to thank for their time at the top, Mariah Carey stands proud as one artist whose lyrical prowess is just as impressive as the God-given talent she flaunts oh-so often.

Responsible for penning the majority of the gems that make up her discography, her songwriting abilities have secured her a brand of credibility even her more gifted rivals are yet to score…whether their fans would choose to accept it or not.

Now peep Mimi explain why she encourages fellow musicians to write their own music, during an ‘American Idol’– fuelled chit chat on the ‘Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.’

    *grabs popcorn*

  2. Applause February 17, 2014

    Directed towards Rihanna, Beyonce, Rita Ora,Tamar etc…. Gaga writes her music unlike them.

  3. Pressed h*** back in action February 17, 2014

    Beyonce needs to pay attention tbh

  4. ABC February 17, 2014

    Not everyone is a gifted songwriter. Besides, anyone can get a writing credit these days. I applaud people who write their own material. Good for them. The average listener doesn’t give a f*** at the end of the day though. 😉

  5. ABC February 17, 2014

    Is she wearing a silk bath robe?

  6. TurntUp4Cici February 17, 2014

    Beyonce girl, she’s talking about you.

  7. Rosie February 17, 2014

    @Awfulause, too bad no one is buying it.

  8. Applause February 17, 2014

    And I dont need the hive and navy coming in here showing basic song writing credits that we all know that they didn’t have any real impact into making the song.

  9. BanjeeRiri February 17, 2014

    She keeps throwing jabs at Beyonce and I love it.

  10. Barbie/Lamb Unity February 17, 2014

    Queen Mariah spilling that truth tea though.

  11. Applause February 17, 2014

    Is that why Gaga has sold over 30 million albums sit down baby lana still struggling for the 6 million album sold mark?

  12. the real xoxo February 17, 2014

    if you don’t write your own music you aren’t a MUSICIAN.
    Whitney is a vocalist, not a musician.
    Rihanna is a popstar, not a musician.

  13. KerimelKisses February 17, 2014

    Don’t let ha speak to you like zat Beyonce. Don’t let ha!

  14. Molly February 17, 2014

    Throw that subliminal Rihanna and Beyonce shade girl Lmao.

  15. WeAreLambily February 17, 2014

    Yes at TGJ reminding these fools of Mariah’s writing credentials.

  16. Rosie February 17, 2014

    The inflation. Fadga is barely over 20 million.
    Keep clinging to the past, that’s what all other stans of has-beens do. Meanwhile In 2014 it can barely outsell Arctic Monkeys worldwide.

  17. ABC February 17, 2014

    Whitney was an accomplished pianist also, therefor she was a musician. Please be seated with your made up definitions.

  18. jake February 17, 2014

    Céline doesn’t write! Whitney didn’t write her most famous… Mariah is only using her skills to throw shade as always, sit!

  19. Tremangelite February 17, 2014

  35. the real xoxo February 17, 2014

    She is right though,
    She isn’t coming for Bey/Rihanna she is coming for the reality show contestants who sell their soul on tv and don’t work hard to perfect their craft

  36. ABC February 17, 2014

    Has Mariah ever taken any of the younger girls under her wings like Whitney, Patti and them? I’ve never seen her embrace younger talent.

  37. SoGone4Monica February 17, 2014

    I encourage Ciara to find a better baby daddy.

  38. Ke$has crazy kid February 17, 2014

    Bonus:
    6) End of my career

    7) Run the bottom of the charts

  45. Molly February 17, 2014

    I encourage Monica to get her tubes tied.

  46. AzaleanArmy February 17, 2014

    I encourage Ciara to work with better female rappers like Iggy instead of Gimmick Fakeraj.

  47. Thetruth February 17, 2014

    Ciara fans are youou guys so dumb? why you even in this post… 57Kara dont write her own music LOOL

  48. KeriMeHome February 17, 2014

    I encourage Ciara to use protection. #FuturesDiseasedPeen

  49. Rihanna Lately February 17, 2014

    Rihanna co-writes here music so this fat whoore needs to stfu and focus on her unknown single.

    Whitney from the dead this is directed to you… Where’s celine dion? Thiefyonce ? JLO I see its directed to you!

  50. PaulAllah Slaydul February 17, 2014

    Ok let’s stop here. Monica is married to a man who loves and is committed to her. Can Ciara honestly say the same?

  51. Molly February 17, 2014

    Ciara does write her music.

  52. ChartToppahNika February 17, 2014

    I encourage Iggy to learn how to rap and get an album release date.

    PAULALLAH SLAYDUL
    CHARTTOPPAHNIKA

    Really? Where do these trolls come from? Lmfao.

  59. Dance4Dawn February 17, 2014

    Ciara can’t say her man is committed to her though.

    According to Allhiphop.com, curvaceous and well-put together Jessica is the woman that rapper Future Hendrix was supposedly sending his phone number to on Twitter.com last week.
    As some of you already know, Future mistakenly tweeted his cell phone number on his public timeline instead of sending it discreetly via Twitter’s private messaging service. When Future realized his error he quickly deleted the tweet. But not before his followers grabbed a screen shot for posterity.
    But if Jessica was the intended recipient of Future’s errantly tweeted phone number, shouldn’t she already have his number written down in several places?
    Or did Future’s fiancée, songbird Ciara, find out about Future’s breezy and force him to change his cell phone number?
    This scenario does make sense since Ciara obviously has Future’s cell phone password — and would be the first to know if he texted his number to Jessica.
    Future recently proposed to Ciara because he knows that’s what she wanted. But does Ciara know what Future wants?
    Mistakenly tweeting his number on his timeline was just plain careless and stupid. Was he that anxious for Jessica to call him? Speaking of stupid, will Ciara still trot down the aisle with Future, knowing that he’s a cheating dog?

  60. Thetruth February 17, 2014

    Oh yeah Ciara does write her own music… Just doesnt sell :/ shame.

  61. Mazz February 17, 2014

    I encourage Ciara to give up.

  62. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    The funny thing is Mariah didn’t mention Beyonce yet the hive is here uming. I need to find where Mariah lives so I can play Drunk in Love for her so that that the hive can stop seething.

  63. LaLopez February 17, 2014

    I encourage Jennifer to give Mariah some hints about keeping a job. #AmericanIdol #TheyCalledTheQueenBackBEFORETheyFiredYou #YouMad?

  64. solo angel February 17, 2014

  65. Rihanna Lately February 17, 2014

    This whoore never wrote music she stole from unknown writers and acted as if it was her writing I can’t stand this whorree.
    I dislike like thiefyonce but she’s a much better artist than this fat whorre !!
    I wish whitney was around to put this biitch on her place.

  66. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    I encourage Jennifer to get her previous album a dirt certification. #FlopBitch

  67. Rihanna Lately February 17, 2014

    I encourage this fat whorree to go to the gym

  68. Mimi4EVER February 17, 2014

    YES some of your faves have begun to “co-write” (i put that in quotation marks for a reason) but are their lyrics any good hahahaha. People wake up!! Mariah has always been stuffed into the role of a regular POP princess but she actually makes her own music!! Her ideas are actually innovative. She ACTUALLY writes her own songs not just throw in a line here and there and say they “co-wrote” it. THERE WOULD BE NO SUCH THING AS DRUNK IN LOVE WITHOUT MARIAH. She is the one who created the idea of a Pop Diva collaborating with a rapper that idea did not just pop out of nowhere someone thought of it first and made it cool! (See Fantasy Remix ft. ODB circa 1995).

  69. Thetruth February 17, 2014

    Mariah has stated she loves Bey as a person and Artist! Ya’ll can thumb me down all you want but Bey has wrote or co-wrote many of her and Destiny Child songs.

    I encourage Lana to NOT struggle for platinum after 2 years.

  160. Rosie February 17, 2014

    I encourage Moo to stop pushing back her album for the same amount of time.

  161. Music Stan ( I came I conquer and I draged) ( yall know who I stan 4) February 17, 2014

    @ROSIE CHILD I WANT THE REAL FACTS NOT THE WIKIPEDIA EDIT VERSION BOO I KNOW YOU CAN EDIT THOSE ARTICLES TRY AGAIN

  162. KerimelKisses February 17, 2014

    I encourage you to stop lying. Keri is too busy making bucket loads of money for writing hits for YOUR fave so get it right boo boo.

  163. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    I encourage Zooey Deschanel to trim those unattractive sideburns.

  164. Rosie February 17, 2014

    I encourage Moo to trim that extra stomach fat.

    Weight Watchers might help.

  165. Rosie February 17, 2014

    @Music Stan The receipts come from the RIAA, not me. But stay pressed.

    @SlayHive Your p**** smells of fish, so the only people who would want to eat it are the birds I feed outside my house every morning. Should I give them your address?

    You’re talking about Lana’s talent when Ciara’s voice is thinner than Future’s condoms.

    I’m sorry but that was funny LOL!!!

  168. Slayty Perry (Prismatic Tour) February 17, 2014

    I live for Mariah’s shade! Ive always preferred artist who write their own music, it comes off so much more sincere.

    Side note, is it me or is their an abundant amount of trolls in this thread?

  169. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    I encourage Lana to gain some North American recognition so that UltraIrrelevant doesn’t bomb harder than Artpoop.

  170. Common Sense February 17, 2014

    I wonder how many people know who Lana actually is versus just recognizing that one Summertime song on the radio lol. Mariah may never have chart success again, but her name will ALWAYS get recognition.

  171. Can’tRememberToSlayTheCharts February 17, 2014

    I encourage Mariah to return Eminem’s calls.

  172. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    I encourage Lama fans to remember to take their estrogen pills.

    @rosie I’m not pressed for that goat herder vocal that lana is serving… sorry boo i don’t eat goat not like them in my ear…. I love beef, people who can actually entertain me and sing….. unlike lana…. sorry try again but No one believe you…. You Need more People

  174. Slayty Perry (Prismatic Tour) February 17, 2014

    I encourage you all to buy a copy of Prism and let the light in.

  176. ASBEENISH (IS IT ME OR IS U THIRST N****) February 17, 2014

    I encourage Lana to get some relevancy and stop getting outsold by Viley.

    Botox Del Gay – Born to Die {Platinum after 2 years}
    Viley Cyrus – Bangerz {871K after 4 Months}

  177. Rosie February 17, 2014

    I encourage Mooriah to stop releasing b-side lullabies from 1993 so her album can outsell Ciara.
    It it doesn’t get pushed back again.

  178. Skyfall February 17, 2014

    Born to die is still charting, it’s above Artpop although I don’t see how

  179. BuzzinBey February 17, 2014

    Yaaaaaas, Slayriah saw Eminem’s name and left the building.

  180. Kemar (@S_C_Jr on Twitter) February 17, 2014

    Why do you guys feel the need to apply something positive to another person and make it negative? Mariah was never implying anything about any artist. She was simply encouraging artists to write their own music and not have people dictate their careers. Grow up. Just enjoy the music and shut the f*** up!

  181. Rosie February 17, 2014

    GangBangerz got more promo than Chartflop and STILL isn’t platinum? Mess. Has it even crossed 2 million WW?
    I also heard her tour was flopping.

  182. Music Stan ( I came I conquer and I draged) ( yall know who I stan 4) February 17, 2014

    #ICAN’T AT ANY LANA STAN OR FAN TALKING ABOUT VOCAL WHEN SHE SOUND LIKE A GOAT HERDER BEING STAMPEDE BY THEIR OWN HERD…. SORRY BUT THOSE VOCALS ARE SHOT BOO… IT WORK FOR BASIC EMO MUSIC BUT POP R&B EVEN COUNTRY AND ROCK AREN’T HAVING IT…TRY AGAIN…. AND RELEASING AND RE-RELEASING THE SAME DAMN ALBUM DOESN’T WORK HERE IN AMERICA MAYBE IN CANADA OR OTHER COUNTRIES BUT HERE IN AMERICA WE PRODUCE TALENTS HINTS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON…..

  183. ABC February 17, 2014

    Miley isn’t platinum yet? Not after all those gimmicks? Poordat 🙁

  184. Rosie February 17, 2014

    Michael Jackson is a dead p******** who was considered a joke before he died. But OK, we want to know who you really stan for.
    And BTD only got one rerelease. Your “receipts” are hilarious.

  185. slay_hive February 17, 2014

    I encourage Katy to write a grammy worthy song 😉

  186. NotLikeTheMovies February 17, 2014

    I encourage Beyonce to do the same.

  187. Nicki February 17, 2014

    I encourage all dem lookin nikkas to fukk my ass

  188. Mike February 17, 2014

    This is why Mariah stans for Beyonce so hard. I know she loved Rihanna but she doesn’t stan for her like she does Beyonce. Beyonce is making those royalty cheques as well and just like Mariah she is co-writing and co-producing everything!

    And this is why Mariah Carey doesn’t been to buss her ass touring all year like other artists because her royalty cheques are ridiculous!

    The amount of money Mariah makes from e.g. All I Want For Christmas Is You every year….not only from her version but also all the remakes is more money than some of these b****** net on tour!

  189. ASBEENISH (IS IT ME OR IS U THIRST N****) February 17, 2014

    @Rosie no b**** the point is that Viley is gonna get a platinum plaque quicker than a***. Kii

  190. Omari February 17, 2014

    So apparently Mariah has been working on this album for 4 years? This better be a masterpiece chile.

  191. Music Stan ( I came I conquer and I draged) ( yall know who I stan 4) February 17, 2014

    @Rosie yes Michael is dead and we all know this but his Success, Legacy, Longevity, Talent, ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF INFLUENCE Will sclap you and your fave bald boo…. and did she rename the album title and try to resale those same song to her fans damn you could come up with new material in the words of KING bey ( i bet it suck to be you right now )

  192. Csquadrepresenta February 17, 2014

    Mariah doesn’t tour because she is a boring performer and cannot sing live!! Nobody will pay to see her sitting on a couch and waving her finger as she lipsynch. Ciara is the real deal and Rihanna is tragic. Beyonces a drag queen!!!

  193. Music Stan ( I came I conquer and I draged) ( yall know who I stan 4) February 17, 2014

    *exits***** easy body bag

  194. Rosie February 17, 2014

    LMAO you didn’t drag anyone. You didn’t even show receipts for anything you said (such as Lana’s apparent 27259 rereleases that I’ve never heard about or her being a nobody in the US) yet I told you the source of all of mine which can be easily googled within 15 seconds. Stay mad and illiterate.

  195. Rosie February 17, 2014

    @Asbeenish It would’ve been embarrassing if it didn’t.
    GangBangerz US promo: VMAs, AMAs, multiple VEVO premieres and banners, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Saturday Night Live, Today Show, MTV documentary, MTV unplugged, (flopping) arena tour, and that’s just off the top of my head.

    Born To Die US promo: Saturday Night Live, Late Show With David Letterman

  196. The truth hurts February 17, 2014

    Death at everyone bringing up the USA like it’s the only important music market. Labels & Artists do not give a sh*t where the sales come from as long as it’s not from some irrelevant country where music sells for $0.10. The real kiiii is that in the current poor sales climate a so-called tumblr artist is outselling most of your faves who cannot hope to do half of BDT’s WW sales.
    I can’t wait to see ULTRAVIOLENCE sell even better than BTD now that the US is over the whole SNL thing. She’ll have the highest opening week sales of any female this year (so-long as adele doesn’t release) bookmark me.

  197. Music Stan ( I came I conquer and I draged) ( yall know who I stan 4) February 17, 2014

    @rosie i did cause i look up it she have about for extend play of the same album and re release the same album about four time… that is why she isn’t grammy worthy…. give it up boo no one and i mean no one is checking for that goat…. sorry!!! just face fact…. all the other commenters on here are laugh at you not with you….. and all of them don’t believe in LANA AT ALL… SHE ISN’T WORTHY TO BE MENTION IN OUR CONVO…. YOU stay trying to drag ppl who has more fans and more success then her and all you do is embarrass her …. sit this one out and try again next time…. like when she release her second album and prove she has staying power… Even Miley already prove that…. and you try to come for her… you is a Joke, you is a Lame, you is Not Special ( in my “the Help” voice) loll BYE

  198. The truth hurts February 17, 2014

    @music Stan
    You crazy? Lana has only released BTD and BTD:the paradise edition– paradise doesn’t count as it was just a repackaged version of the paradise edition without original BTD for the US.

    i encourage you to stop playing with fire

  202. Mark111 February 17, 2014

    Unless Beyonce and Rihanna was on AI, than she wasn’t talking about them cause she said she want the AI singers to write their songs, but the winner will be in a 360 deal, so it doesn’t matter cause they own your s***! Did y’all even watch the interview?!

  203. Hivy February 17, 2014

    If Beyonce is at the end of her career though doesn’t that pretty much mean that Mariah’s has been buried,dead and gone since 2009?
    Mimi had to be airlifted to sit on that piano just to look like she belongs in a sea world documentary. I’m just saying some have the body to flaunt it, while others don’t.
    I like this interview what she said is true.
    I don’t blame Beyonce for making those producers put her name on songs she didn’t write. Royalties are very lucrative after your career loses all the hype..Just ask Mariah…that’s where she is at this point.

  204. Gerald Sealy February 17, 2014

    If some of you took the time to listen to that specific interview MC was referring to artists locked in 360 deals or new artists in general who come from shows like AI and the voice.

  205. tits mcgee February 17, 2014

    I like mariah’s new song but, she is turning people off with her juvenile image. I said it before but some lambs got all in their feelings about it. She is degrading her legendary status with her antics. People don’t want to see a 40+ woman in a bathtub covered in glitter and wearing a candy bra.She should be writing more mature music like in the begininng of her career and have a more grown woman image. She could sell that. I don’t think anyone but Nick wants to see flesh peddling and doing songs with rappers at this point in her career. Mariah is a gifted songwriter. She should be trying to win back her adult audience and leave the glitter, lollipops,and rainbows in the past where they belong.

  206. Lmfao_Hoe February 17, 2014

    I encourage Gaga to kick DJ WhiteSnow ass and HIT UP REDONE FOR SOME F****** HITS. And return to her NYC roots, maybe then she can redeem herself gracefully.

  207. Theman February 17, 2014

    Y do these desperate a** fans like to apply Beyonce/Rihanna into everything. She’s speaking of something that will help other artist. This site has some of the most ignOrant beings on it.. MC is more talented than all of these chicks. She doesn’t pay for writing credits, she actually writes. Her career is astounding..

  208. Theman February 17, 2014

    Also miss everyone with that people don’t wanna see her in candy bras n crap. Is this woman not allowed to have fun dammit? It was for valentines dayum !! Y’all just want something to bytch about.. Most of it is just hate..

  209. tits mcgee February 17, 2014

    @theman

    You are the one that can miss me, with assuming I hate Mariah. Just because I don’t applaud everything she does, does’nt make that true. I love her for her talent and have most of her discography.
    You are one of the pressed stans I am talking about. You can’t see respectful discourse without flying off the handle. Get a grip.
    Mariah can have all the fun she wants, sending those pics to her husband, but everyone else besides rabid stans, and her husband DON’T CARE!
    Those pics were not for fun, but part of her promo for the song, which is why she advertised the song in the pics!

  210. tits mcgee February 17, 2014

    Nothing fun or s*** about that kind of promo. It just comes off as desperate. If I am so wrong tell me how after a few days of release, the record has disappeared from the top 100 of itunes? You explain that..

  211. Rosie February 17, 2014

    @The Truth Hurts
    Ignore it. It’s a Ciara stan. It obviously knows nothing about charts at stats, seeing how it’s fave can’t even sell 200k worldwide.

  212. Back 2 J February 17, 2014

    It’s always a good thing if an artist writes their own music because they get royalties from their records plus publishing rights to their music & writing credits to their name too. You make more money that way.

  213. j.Minaj February 17, 2014

    I encourage all you b****** to stfu with all your “I encourage”
