♫ HOT OR NOT: MARIAH CAREY – “H.A.T.E.U.


♫ Mariah Carey – H.A.T.E.U.

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 remember catching my man cheating

    MARIAH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CATCHING TOMMY CHEATING WITH JLO?

  2. MICHELLE

    I DON’T WANT TO HEAR MARIAH SOUND LIKE SOME ASSEMBLY LINE WHITE GIRL

    I DONT LIKE THE MARIAH OF 1990, I COULD NOT RELATE TO HER AND HER BUTTERY MUSIC

    I LIKE/LOVE THIS OLDER, WISER, WOMAN-SOUNDING MARIAH.

    PEOPLE YOU CAN’T CHANGE BACK IN TIME, LOVE HER FOR WHO SHE IS NOW

    SONG OF CHOICE: IT’S A WRAP ……………….SHE HANDLED THAT. GO GIRL

  3. bonnie

    so she went from white girl to mixed girl and now shes black girl

    go ms thang i like this cut

  4. bonnie

    WHITNEY is shaking in her boots and wig

  5. Really Now?

    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.

    I LOVE IT….gO MiMi…def coppin the album!!

  7. kstart

    This song is hot. if u dnt think so. ur a hater. stop bashing music when u have no idea what ur talking about. u say its mediocre i say its mariah. where can i find the dream version though, im curious to see how that sound. the melody is hot

  8. Lewis

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

  9. hop oz

    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.

  10. JA

    the mariah album as a whole is pretty good,she could have left maybe 5 or so tracks to reallly make it a fiyah album tho!!

  11. THE BLOCK ♥

    AHHHH I LOVEEED IT FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD A SNIPPET!!
    CANT WAIT..7DAYSSSSSSS

  12. Bri

    It was just alright to me. I don’t like when she whispers in her songs. A whistle note here and there is cool though.

  13. theComplex

    I L-O-V-E this! Wow… this has me excited to hear the whole album. I will be playing this all night! Thank you, CL!

  14. AHHH, MARIAH. I GUESS I CAN DIG THIS SONG. I HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO HER ALBUM AND I ONLY LIKED ABOUT 3 SONGS. “INSEPARABLE” AND “THE IMPOSSIBLE”, WHICH KINDA REMINDS ME OF ANY TIME, ANY PLACE BY JANET JANET. MY MOST FAVORITE WAS “CANDY BLING” AND U KNOW WHY, LOL, GO DJ, PLAY MY SONG!

  15. CARI

    YES MIMI !!!
    Lovin it !
    Im a HUGE fan .. just bought her album off Amazon

  16. DizzyGuy

    I like this song…nice beat and everything..way to go.

  17. Ashanti's back

    its ok… but i like her first single…I’ll get the album at the end of the week.

  18. LULU

    I like it, reminds me of Bliss from the ‘Rainbow’ album back in ’99 with the vibe and vocals somewhat…however, her voice is starting to strain and I don’t know what it is, but she’s losing it a bit.

  19. LL Cool G

    lol @ 78. if you just noticing Mariah’s voice is “changing”…….you are oh so late. if anything, she sounds like she’s starting to regain a bit of strength. but hey…..everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.

  20. angela

    previewed the album today and let me tell ya….Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is THE SHIZZZZZZ….. I’m luvin it so much have listened to it 5 times today…and that hairstyle she has on now…working well with the album cos this is throwback mariah..back to her rnb roots instead of teeny boppy E=mc2….Loves it.

  21. backingbarack

    she def does not have the voice she was born with and what made her a legend but i really like this.

    this track is nice and sweet. better than the rest of the crap she comes out with.

    she needs to stick to soft rock and slow rnb bc when she mixes it with hip hop and pop, it just doesnt sound correct. stick to the same recipe mariah.. ur voice is suitable for songs like these.

  22. backingbarack

    every time i see mariah she looks like a porn star. maybe she should change career paths as trashy as she looks.

  23. Chinadoll

    @64, why should Whitney be shaking in her boots? Her cd just jumped back up to #2 this week.

    This song is not hot. I use to love Mariah. Her last good effort was the 4 years ago with The Emancipation of Mimi. Her last cd sucked (couldn’t even tell you the name of it). This cd is going to suck as well.

  24. Jada

    @chinadoll..

    girl please, if your even a real girl…what chick calls herself chinadoll…maybe a hoe or a stripper

    Mariah’s last cd was hot i actually liked a few tracks.

    This cd is straight grown woman. i love it. yes, the return of ms. carey

  25. LL Cool G

    chinadoll…….really? how about you listen to Mariah’s album first before you say what Whitney should & should not be afraid of.

    Mariah will never sound the way she did when she started, but i guarantee you she sounds better than anything Whitney can dream of in her wettest dream.

    what happened? Mariah’s not black enough for you to support? or does she need to hit the pipe too? *smh*

  26. mike

    BEST MARIAH R&B SLOW JAM SINCE BUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

    Butterfly had The Roof and Breakdown. This album has HATE U and Ribbon as just to craaaaazy r&b joints. I mean her whispery voice really really works here and then when she belts it at the end is just amazing…makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand.

    Mariah can sing alot better than allll these bitches out there. She has every register. If only she would stop drinking all that wine and taking care of her voice outside of recording periods so that we can get some amazing live performances.

  27. DRB

    Very good album. Liked it all except for Up Out My Face’s, More Than Just Friends is meh and Angels Cry is so fucked up. The intro is nice but otherwise a huge rehash, I can’t even make it through

  28. Monica

    SHE IS NOT WHISPERING…

    SHE’S SINGING IN HER LOWER REGISTER…..

    MAYBE IF JENNIFER HUDSON WOULD NOT BELT AND SCREAM 24/7 PEOPLE WOULD BUY HER CD

    LISTEN TO MIMI’S LYRICS, PHRASING, OCTAVE’S….ENJOY IT

  29. mike

    Unlike EMC2, this album isnt loaded with obvious singles but its just filled with great music like a John Legend album.

    But radio needs a song like this….grown ass woman shit!!

  30. d.esco

    This is my fav off the album. I’ve been stuck on it ever since I heard the whole song. The whole album is very smooth R&B and more grown up.

  31. liyah

    That one little beat reminds me of Timbaland.

  32. ShuggaDat

    SHE HAD ME AT THE FIRST TEN SECONDS! MIMI DOES IT AGAIN!!!

  34. LISA

    Mariah is doing her thing on Standing O and It’s a Wrap — girl tell Derek Jeter OFF

    in the vein of Shake It Off

    She is giving me what I need this time around

    HATEU is ok, Just OK, she’s kind of lazy with the VOCALs on this one

  35. nolongeraMIMI-fan

    Why is mariah not promoting this cd? let me guess, her lazy butt is making the fans do it again, so let me see, we have to promote a cd which has NO MINE AGAIN, NO FLY LIKE A BIRD, NO if it’s over, there is NOT one incredible song on this boring predictable cd.

    NO BELTING SONGS…..this cd is almost as bad as C.B/Rainbow.

    This is my LEAST favoriate mariah cd. bullcrap

    we asked a duet—- she didn’t do it
    we asked for some pop songs – she didn’t do it
    we asked for some hard-hitting belting songs — she didn’t do it

    THE DREAM’S SONGWRITING SUCKS, HIS PRODUCTION IS AVERAGE, WHERE IS WALTER MARIAH?

    she sucks. Hopefully Leona Lewis will have some good tracks

  36. nolongeraMIMI-fan

    @ NO LONGER A FAN ( I AGREE)

    sorry i know most of you people like this song but this is a average song, and mariah is not an average vocalist.

    did she do this cd and forget she can really sing?

  37. nolongeraMIMI-fan

    @ mike . gaygirl

    please this cd is tired. EOM was a smash, full of great music this sounds like the dream made mariah into a robot

    she has lost her vocal swag, boring

  38. Simone Bembry

    i love this song … Im going through this now in my life. i love songs that i can relate too makes the hartbreak go by so much faster. Go Mariah and Dream ,’-)

  39. WillPwr

    @ #24 “Vanishing” was/is the sh!t

  40. NOT!

    same old shit. less-than-mediocre track, whispering instead of singing, overly photoshopped promo pics. she has become a one trick pony. no wonder they pushed this album back like a million times.

    FLOP.

  41. dayg715

    garbage. this is going to flop just like her last CD. thank God Whitney Houston is back.

  42. leonarules

    with crap like this, she doesn’t stand a chance in hell against Leona Lewis’ new CD.

  43. Mutada al sader the king

    Yikes. Why the hell is MC being autotuined to death. I can understand it on the first single. The whole T-pain thing kind of fit. But this is a semi ballad. Why are they tunning the dog snot out of her vocals?

  44. FallBackHaters

    Really like it.

  45. CHRISTOPHER

    OH MY GOSH I LOVE MARIAH CAREY AND THE SONG IS SO ON POINT….!!!!
