Mariah Carey - H.A.T.E.U. [Live At David Letterman Show]


Here's a clip Mariah Carey performing "H.A.T.E.U." live on the David Letterman Show. Now while waiting for the video to load, I read all these comments about how bad the performance was and how much of a flub Mariah was. I gotta say I enjoyed this performance. Mariah did miss a couple notes but it made the performance that much more raw. "H.A.T.E.U." is a hard song to sing and the way how Mariah transitions from her lower register to her whispery vocals to the high notes is impressive. Doesn't the way how Mariah sings the high notes at the end of the verses reminds you of "Emotions?" "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is in stores now.

AJ she was missing notes since the song started. please do better. more unbiased opinions please because you know as well as the rest of america that mariah's voice is as dead as aaliyah. her lyrics and music are still decent/trying to fit her lack of vocal ability and fat ass

I'm a huge Mariah fan. In fact I'm going to see her at the new year's eve concert. But I have to agree this performance wasn't the best. I think she needed to warm up her voice more plus she been in interview mode doing talking show after talk show to promote the movie "precious." She didn't have time for vocal rest but I think she saved it at the end

when it comes to amriah everyone has high standards - and her songs are hard to sing.
What about other artists? did you hear them sing live? britney, rihanna - its a mess!
and barely tolerable. and noone cares!

I think she was great.

yea, she gets no credit. she's a great writer, but her vocals are dead. it's okay. but the thing that's no okay is that she keeps on trucking like her voice and her body are still the same as they were 15 years ago. not acceptable.

I actually liked it.. it wasn't perfect but I agree that it added to the rawness.

Emale, you seem pretty entertained by her though, so why do you keep watching if she's so unacceptable?
