"Mariah Carey is one of the most prolifically successful songwriters of the last several decades in any genre of music," a statement from BMI reads. "With her distinct five-octave vocal range and the finesse with which she scaled it, Carey defined the modern pop performance, delivering the songs she wrote with awe-inspiring grace and power."
