But yeah, Axl Rose... Uhm...

Yes, she did write them. Nearly every one of them.  Tongue

An example is this holiday classic which she also wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQViqx6GMY

An example of her vocal skills: https://youtu.be/vZy4woV_6sw

Do you want one with her vocal range? Tongue It's the largest known in popular music after Axl Rose's (there was actually a study done on this: 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music...Carey.html) :)

But I'm sure Mariah's is largest off-record  Big Grin

There was quite enough vocal range in there to convince me. But you said she was a musical genius, give me something she's writ (unfortunately I couldn't watch the first video in this stupid country here)

This is the song (it has become such a holiday classic that most people forget Mariah wrote it)
Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is you [Lyrics]

If you want a really good example of her songwriting skills, I recommend you this:

I had no idea Germany was so restrictive when it came to Youtube videos  Sad
If you'd still like to listen to the songs I previously suggested their titles are "All I want for Christmas is You" and "Outside" Smile

That fucking organization has been in a fight with Youtube for years, and they still pretend that they are somehow helping artists with that silliness.

The only thing I can find from that album is the title track, which sounds pretty generic.

You underestimate the power of the force. None of them work.
