Mariah Carey makes sure Andy Cohen knows she wrote ''All I Want for Christmas''

Washington [US], January 2 (ANI): American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey recently appeared on `The Andy Cohen Show` and talked about the much-loved song `All I Want For Christmas`.According to Page Six, while discussing Carey`s Christmas classic on CNN`s New Year`s Eve show, Cohen asked the chanteuse, "When you recorded `All I Want For Christmas Is You,` did you have a sense that it was going to live for so long? Because it`s one of those songs that you listen to and it still sounds like a brand-new song."To which the Grammy winner replied, "Thank you, but first of all, I hate to always say this, but as a writer, I wrote that song." Cohen quickly added, "I know," but it was too little, too late, for the diva."Yeah, but you said, `recorded it,` so I just had to clarify it for the folks at home," the 50-year-old singer responded. (Carey and song-writing partner Walter Afanasieff co-wrote the tune, supposedly in just 15 minutes.)Adding just a splash more cringe to the exchange, Carey then asked what the noise in the background was, forcing Cohen to respond that it was Jennifer Lopez`s performance for the evening.As reported by Page Six, Carey, whose supposed feud with Lopez dates back to her feeling that Lopez copied her `Loverboy` with `I`m Real,` kept a fixed smile on her face.The situation was obliquely addressed in Carey`s recent memoir, which described "a female entertainer on [Sony`s] label (whom I don`t know)," an aside that itself references her famous interview response of "I don`t know her" to a question about Lopez.
