Blind Item #6

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. The singer could put a stop to it, but enjoys watching.

Mariah and Tommy did Walter Afanasieff dirty. They took all the credit.

I know Beam me there Scotty/Gauloise. We stuck in 80s hell. My lil gal is dancing to “Last Christmas “ by a George Michael tomorrow 😭Love GM but even he hated that song

@Indie The 50s / 60s music is so pleasant and really does make you feel in the magical christmas spirit and filled with pep!

@Tricia once when I was a teen. my friends and I were at the local pizza place. It had a jukebox filled with awful Christmas music, so we put in about $20 and selected Last Christmas on endless repeat and left. Not proud of that moment, but it seemed funny at the time. Those poor diners. The dance sounds cute, though :)

gauloise - hehehe . I like that story.Cheeky!
Those poor diners probably left half their plates full lol

LOL @gauloise! That reminds me of a story I saw somewhere on the interwebs of some guy who got revenge on a bar where he used to work by hijacking their jukebox and programming it to play "Cotton Eyed Joe". They wound up tossing the jukebox out after weeks of it playing that damned song.

Buzzfeed, huh? Good place to start a fight. :)

This song finally got to #1 this week-- idiots, it's crap

This is Gaga. Loser.

Alist singer in the room when song is written = co-write credit. The Beyonce formula.

Steven said...

This was actually disputed and Mariah had receipts.

Walter sold her out to Tommy, which is why they are no longer friends.

MeliticusBee said...

Yeah...Christmas oldies are all great until they get declared misogynistic and subject to cancel culture so that John Legend can butcher them into wokeness soyboy christmas.

A.Claire said...

Didn't John Legend obtain the title of, 'sexiest man?' Am I in the twilight zone, singer he is, sexy he ain't.

Tom Jobes said...

John Legend looks just like little Webster...but not nearly as charming or cute...

Yeah madonna is another one who repeatedly scammed co-writing credits from the very beginning fir simpky changing a word or two or adding punctuation. She tried this on the score for the Evita movie but the Composer was not to be messed with and ALW backed him much to m’s chagrin.

Boo Kitty said...

Which I will swear on a dictionary she did not write, as I had heard it years before. But she managed to bribe google basement-dwelling wannabe uberlords.

Walter wrote it.
Tommy Mottola prob.insisted she get writing credit.
Hence, she is raking in royalties every time that tambourine starts shaking on the radio waves. Every holiday season for the rest of her life, ka ching... Her kids are set for life, as well as their kids, and their kids' kids.
