♫ HOT OR NOT: MARIAH CAREY - “H.A.T.E.U.“
Tuesday, September 22, 2009

♫ Mariah Carey - H.A.T.E.U.
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
Mariah Carey had the internet going nuts when her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel leaked online. The bulk of the album was produced and written by The Dream and Tricky Stewart.
Fans were a fiend to hear about Mariah’s version of the track, “H.A.T.E.U.,” demo’d originally by The Dream himself. And now they finally get their chance.

I have no idea what ppl are listening to. This is mediocre. And I am a Mariah Carey FANATIC. I even have the Glitter album. So there’s no hate here. I just think the song is just okay, nothing spectacular.

It sounds ok but i I prefer the Dream’s demo version better…her low notes are killing me…sounds like a wall scratching.

I like it! I usually have a good ear for this kindof thing (wish I woulda made a career out of it long ago)! I predict that this will be a pretty good hit for Mariah and will win her some awards. Good job!

i just wish she would use her powerful voice again. all the high notes get annoying and that pseudo sensual voice is done for. i just want her to take it back to the vision of love days when she had semi soul. i miss the “umph” in her voice for lack of a better word.

5 OUT OF 5 STARS
GREAT PRODUCTION LYRICS AND VOCAL ARRANGEMENT
SHE SANG THE SONG THE WAY SHE DID BECAUSE THIS WAS AN ODE TO MINNIE RIPP, BY SINGING HALF THE SONG IN NOTHING BUT THE WHISTLE REGISTER, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO………………….

Why does she keep allowing Dream to pen for her albums? The song was kewl. Mariah can do better

I agree with the others. H.A.T.E.U is just okay. I expected more out of the song, and she did compare the song to Minnie’s Loving You, but I didn’t hear any similarities. Perhaps I should listen to the song again.
By the way, I think Brian should’ve poted at least 3 more songs. The Impossible, Betcha Didn’t Know, and Up Out Of My Face are FIRE. Those three should’ve been posted, instead of H.A.T.E.U.
MOAIA is by far one of Mariah’s best albums. She didn’t let us down on this one. The albums leaves E=MC Squared in the dust.

OMGWTF!
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Try again! WTF is everybody hearing?? She don’t have it anymore. I downloaded her new CD last night and i listened to it from beginning to the end and the album is sooooo cheesey and wack! I’m soooo over her! I only like about 2 cuts off her new joint.

Scientists should do a study on the affects that auto-tune has on a person’s hearing ability. Do artist even try anymore?

I loved it,,, I never comment on these blogs but this track is definetly whats hot… Rarely do you hear songs nowadays that have this kinda power to match the listeners emotions so perfectly. From the strong and relatable lyrics,, to the melodies and mood this sick beat puts you in… It definetly brought tears to my eyes because im going through this situation in my life right now (my first true love and breakup), and this song is tellin my story man,, lol. Without getting too mushy im glad i have a song to kinda help me through and assure me that everyone goes through the same process ,,varying from person to person of couse,, but the initial feelings and withdrawls of a breakup im sure we can all agree The Dream and Mariah tapped into with ease, Good job mimi,,, No im not a critic or record exec, just a true music lover…

This is song is hot and MARIAH CO-WROTE THE WHOLE ALBUM, the songs weren’t handed to her, you can hear how much the lyrics have changed from the demo which is nowhere near this level. Should’ve posted Ribbon and Standing O as well though.

I enjoyed that! I dont understand why Dream wont let Christina have some of these songs. Mariah needs stop letting her music get leaked though, nobody is checking for her in the stores when you can record off Youtube.

well. the lyrics in her version are heads & shoulders above what “The-Dream” demo’d. i’m glad she rewrote them. song’s pretty damn hot. the production is stripped down enough to let Mimi do her thing. nicely done.
now if people are still holding out for Mariah from 1990…g’head….y’all can head home. it ain’t happening…..even if she rests her vocals for a year straight. she has a new texture now….if you can’t get with it, then keep it moving. calling for her old sound every time she releases an album won’t bring it back. there are more fish in the sea….go get u one.
as for the Minnie Ripperton ‘tribute’: it’s kinda hard to miss. at the end of the chorus when she says “i can’t wait to hate you…..” she follows it up with a “ah-ah ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah” which is similar to the melody high part/whistle that comes after the chorus in “Loving You”.
i guess people thought the song would have more of Minnie’s influence, but that’s the only bit i picked up.
newayz….Mariah has delivered a very solid album. while you have the few that are just not gonna give her her props b/c she doesn’t sound like she did when they were 3…..everybody else knows the deal. she brought it.
you’ve earned my dollars M.C.

I’ve been with Mariah Carey since her debut I have every cd.. although i love Mariah back in the old days Mariah-butterfly i prefer. but Mariah does adapt well with this new era of music…I will be buying this album just like i brought all of them.

Ilike it!
I voted “Not” before listening to the song in its entirety. 1st was b/c i wasnt to keen on the whole “HATE U” thing..i’mma lover..:)) But then i listened and grasped the concept she was delivering. It was cool. I’m diggin the vocals and the lyrics..the prodoction is tight too. I wonder though so when you say The Dream, “produced” this what did he produce?..the track..or the lyrics?.

Really Now?
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /
I personally liked when The Dream sang it more than when Mariah did. This is basically because the low notes of the song fit him a lot better than they do Mariah. But the concept of the song is really good.
And i think when people talk about wanting the Mariah from the 90s they mean the early 90s when she first came out. You know like Emotions and Vision of Love, back when her voice had power and feeling; not the Butterflies and Rainbow thing she had going on. Her voice now sounds decent on the track but lately when I’ve heard her sing live she sounds bad.

“It’s a Wrap” is the business. Bluesy/Jazzy feel and she’s sangin’.

Yall know the Dream can’t sing. Whoever thinks he can needs to NEVER say Ciara can’t sing because they on the same level. The males is almost worst than the females. Non singing ass dudes coming out.
LOVE MARIAH BUT HATE THIS SONG.
