Yesterday it was announced that Mariah Carey will be one of the 2020 inductees into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, much to the approval of many music lovers across the world. Of course, the Queen Of Christmas was definitely going to address it on her much-followed Twitter, and boy did she have a field day with this one.
If you remember that viral video of Mariah and her "moments," the video above is basically that but with MC constantly reminding us she's, in fact, a songwriter. From her early cute & curly days "as a songwriter" on albums like Daydream, Emotions and the self-titled debut LP, to interviews on The View and CNN during the latter part of her 30-year career, Mariah just couldn't stop reminding us that her pen game is stronger than her signature whistle register. While the hairstyles might change throughout the two-and-a-half-minute mashup video, the message is always the same: Mariah Carey is, was and always will be...a singer/songwriter. Heard you!
Congrats again to MiMi on her induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame! Peep the aforementioned "Mariah moments" below for even more Carey comedy:
Mariah Carey & Pharrell Are Among The Songwriters Hall Of Fame 2020 Inductees
Also in the class of 2020 includes Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, The Isley Brothers, Eurythmics, Rick Nowels, William "Mickey" Stevenson & Steve Miller.
As if anyone would question the pen game of either Mariah Carey or Pharrell Williams, both superstar musicians will officially be inducted into the prestigious Songwriters Hall Of Fame for the upcoming 2020 ceremony.
Announced earlier today on CBS This Morning, the Class of 2020 enlists Mimi, Skateboard P and his production partner Chad Hugo — they're credited together as The Neptunes — the iconic R&B musical family known simply as The Isley Brothers, British pop duo consisting of members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart known professionally as Eurythmics, frequent Lana Del Ray collaborator Rick Nowels, Motown legend William "Mickey" Stevenson and finally 2016 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Steve Miller. Each of these talented musicians have a handful of iconic hit records under their belt, so it's no surprised to see any of them being honored with such a high honor. If anything, the real question that will be on the minds of many is why they weren't inducted sooner.
Congratulations to the 2020 Songwriters Hall Of Fame inductees! Take a look at that one time in '06 when Mariah Carey and Pharrell ran through Paris for the music video to her Emancipation Of Mimi single "Say Somethin'":
