  • I think everyone needs to try to sing scales from middle C and up and down again just very slowly and record yourself and listen how you sound just singing scale. This is not an easy song the begin with and factoring her tiredness, nodules, miscarriage, pressure (from crews and everything) it's a lot to take in okay. So be cool.

  • everyone has good or bad performances.. she`s a human ... she can't be perfect :) still... amazing voice

  • This is Mariah's worst performance ever. And no, it's not because she's losing/lost her voice or due to bad technique, it's because she has vocal nodules and, even though she's had them most her life, they were playing her up a lot in '08 and 09 (which was actually stated by Mariah herself in a magazing interview).

  • This was a little after her miscarriage. Cut her some slack. Not to mention it looks as if she can't hear herself over the music. It's actually a pretty good performance. People criticize whenever they can I swear. If she sang this a little better people would then say she lipsynced. There's just no pleasing everyone.

  • there aren't any lipped parts, but there are some parts where she sang so bad they must have dubbed over it like 2:22

  • wasn't this performance like a few months after her miscarriage?

  • Oh butter, oh butter ROFLMAOO

  • I am a Mariah fan and "H.A.T.E.U." is one of my favorite songs, but she was suffering so much in this performance.

  • well if i must b honest and i will, the performance sucked, her techniques are weaking and it shows, she is still a great voice but she needs to do more behind the scene and not doin anything live until her vocals match wat u see in front of the cam. not a hater just recognizing real singing, but i love mariah none tha less her songs are beautiful. and this one clearly is, id just rather listen to it by cd, instead of seeing her strain live.

  • she looks so tired...

  • excuses, excuses, none of you have proof for any of this payolla. She sounded strained and bad...end of

  • I think Mariah is at a stage of her career where she doesn't has to prove anything to anyone anymore. She's accomplished so much already. Haters will always hate, her "true fans" will always stay with her. This performance is stunning, I believe every word she's singing as she sounds so fragile and absolutely beautiful. Thanks for still making music, Mariah! :)

  • For me this is one of the most hardest song to ever sing.....♥ this performance

  • Most Amazing Singer Of All Time! This Performance Was Perfect! I Love You Mariah Carey.

  • she recoverd in the end when she belted her ass off!

  • This performance wasnt that great. But the fact that it was such an imperfect performance made it special for me. She gave her best and thats all that matters.

  • there's no doubt, she still can handle it live!

  • she sounds amazing, yes there is strain but she was going threw some minor health issues at this time and on top of that she was promoting a lot of stuff so sleep wasn't really on the schedule. i would like to see someone sing this song everyday and see how they sound by the 3rd day

  • AMAZING fuckin song :O she has the best voice i have ever heard no matter what anyone says

  • this should have been a big hit, amazing vocal performance !

  • @FAILriahOBESEarey FUCK U IF U DON'T LIKE IT DON'T WATCH IT!!! SHE'S NOT STRUGGLING AT ALL!! MARIAH CAREY IS THE VOICE OF ALL TIME AND THE BEST BY FAR!!!! FUCK U AND FUCK ALL.THE HATERS LIKE U!!! THIS SONG H.A.T.E.U. IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE HATER SHE HATES U LIKE US (THE LAMBS) HATE U!!!

  • oh my god! she's have angle voice

  • ugh! You know that feeling you get when you know you're tanking and you're trying not to be mad at yourself and focus? Imagine being Mariah Carey when that happens. I bet somebody got fired after this.

  • this song holds a lot of memories for me...anyone else find it weird how she walked on during the song and was not already on stage?

  • i have a really high pitch voice like MC, but singing her songs are hard i still have to arrange it down 2 notes to get to her high. . .

  • If you don't like her "Why Are You On A You-Tube Video Of Her!" People wonder why she say's "This Is For My Real Fans!" or when she's asked about her fans she say's the "Real Fans," it's because Fans don't turn on you because others have or because you change your Hair or wear more Make-Up than when you were young or because you Change your music style, or because you gain Weight!

  • As a Mariah fan i always keep in mind that Mariah doesn't have to sing she's Filthy-Rich! Mariah sings because it's what she loves to do! & Whenever i see her Live or listen to her i can tell she cares about her fans & their Opinions, but it's her life & Career! Mariah has alot more to her than just a voice until you find out your not a "REAL-FAN!"

  • It's a really shit song,sorry :/

  • Even her low notes are tired in this. Wtf in 2.26 -2.28 :O

  • I'm so glad she sang it live I don't give a flying fluck for the lip singing... I rather hear her... She had her time and it still her time it's not like her music is bad bc it's far from that... She is just getting older... Still love her to death and will always buy her albums, and listen to her songs and performance unless she is unable to produce a single sound... And for the record the damn song is hard to sing... I don't see ur ass up there #justsaying

  • i love this performance & her lil mess up, it proves shes HUMAN! U CAN SEE HER PASSION WEN SHE SINGS....A M A Z I N G <3

  • yea she fucked up...so what...lol..she still the best nd she old as shit

  • oh it hurts me soo bad to see her straining like this how COULD SHE...HER voice give out she used to be SOO wonderful soo wonderful now this is horrible her voice is gone but i know that the music she made kills everyone of these other singers today love u MC she used to be the best and is still my favorite singer. FAIL

  • This song is so hard to sing, as she needs to breathe in between verses but there is really not much time to breathe in between. Man I salute her for singing this fully live.

  • @lc0309 what a horrible performance, straining, struggling for breath, her voice really is over.

  • @XTINASDISCIPLE OMG this was such an imperfect performance mariah can't even pre record her vocals well i don't understand this: Her fanbase stuck in past saying she's awesome listen to this shit. #LOL poor things it sucks to love the past of your favorite artist that'sa a disgrace

  • @XTINASDISCIPLE This is one of the easiest songs to sing all time and the girl can't get it right all i hear are starined whispers i mean your voice have to be fucked up to be straining like hell in a whisper. Poor her she went from whistler to whisperer #FAIL @ those lipped whistles her voice is just like it has been for the past 11 years ...GOOOOONE

  • @lc0309 OMG at 2:08 even ciara could sing this song, she sounds like someone is drowning her whilst singing, it's like shes straining/gasping for air, she really should stick to lipsynching her belts and whistles like she has been doing for the past 15 years.

  • Huge mariah fan here, but I gotta be honest, she seems like shes rushing through this. And shes outta breath. like she ran to the stage at the last minute or something idk

  • I agree with martinez..but still shes the best :))

  • i love my mc

  • The best performance of this song!!!! Here Mariah is amazing and her voice is in a great health!!! Love this performance! But this song is so underrated and it's sad because it's soulful song and very emotional! Oh and i can see that 48 people don't like this video (48 people are very def ans stupid and heartless, pathetic person lol)!

  • @underworld91200 Truee that.

  • I love Mariah Carey I feel bad that she messed up but that was a really hard song to sing and with her vocal well the whistle

  • damn that was a very hard song to sing!!!!!! Mariah did very well. Love u Mariah

  • This is really a hard song to sing, I mean really hard.

    Specially from 02:19 to 02:29.

    Yes, she made a mistake. But try you to sing this part like she usually does. It's not easy like it seems.

    People uses to look for details. They look only for mistakes and not for right things.

    *If you buy a perfect chart with red flowers, and then you notice that it has a blue little dot on it. He stops being perfect for you.*

    Just look for the best part of Mariah and not for the worst.

  • @ThiaguinhuBrazil yeah, you're right! Mariah struggled a lot, but she's great, whatever.

  • love her so much warm singing voice

  • 2:20 to 2:24 was superb!

  • i really hated the high notes in this one D: i'm sorry!!!!! it's hard to admit it but T_T

  • This is 100% live no pre-record no lipped. Just not perfect as she expect but I like it................ :))

  • onLy MC can sing her songs ...

  • her age is starting to show, but she is still able to sing and whistle, she's a trooper :D

  • ela é demais, não importa. a musica é linda, é real,

  • god im in tears thanks mariah for singing ur heart out for your lambs!

  • Mariah's songs are a real challenge even for herself. When homage is to be paid to this woman i'll see some divas tremble..who will dare to sing songs like this and do it well? Mariah deserves more than admiration and respect for her talent and contributions to the music world Many ppl criticize her without realizing how Mariah is pulling music forward to a next level.That's sth that makes her even more amazing....:):)

  • @felo4444 i think nobody will be able to make it hahaha well maybe beyoncé and christina only

  • @felo4444 well said :D

  • it'a amazing to me how many of you comment about her voice and how she is losing or have lost it. even worse you all weigh in on her singing techniques. have you all forgotten that this woman was trained by her mom who is a classically trained singer. people be real. she is known for being one of the best vocalist ever. where are your awards, where are your recognition. leave the queen alone and appreciate how much she has given to the world and continues to.

  • I just LOVE how fragile her voice sounds here.. maybe it's not her best singing here, but it fits sooo perfectly.. it's so emotional and I believe every word she's singing..

  • lol this was a mess but i liked it cause it was 100000% LIVE!!! L4L

  • Truth is, this song is really difficult but she can pull it off, she made mistakes that I thought she would have known better than to do, 1. She didnt let background singers handle enough of the chorus <---That's the worse mistake she could have made, but as you can see in later performances she learned. Because her voice isn't bad here. just bad breathing techniques

  • @ArtisticProdigy09 I think that's why she resorted to lipping it after this and on tour. It's a very demanding song, and In all of her later performances the parts after the first bar are lipped.

  • @Crazycatperson66 Yeah It's highly demanding, but with the right choices it's a very singable song for her, the only 1s i think we've seen that were about 95% live after this was The today show, and Stripped(simply because lipsynching isn't allowed for that venue)

  • really hard to sing

  • Very emotional song for her too :(

  • AMAIZING!!!!!!!

  • Brilliant.

  • mariah...heavenly voice ...

    no 1 ever beat u ;D

  • Mariah esteve maravilhosa nessa apresentação.

  • WOW WHAT A VOICE! AMAZING!

  • certainly you have heard 2:18

    

  • i hate that she cut off the second verse in the vid and in performances... thats my fav verse.. ugh.. but oh well.. long gone

  • @cuntylicious she doesnt in all performances

  • ....e=mc² is great album.. and if she was able to promote properly... it could have given her lots of number #1... all the songs in that album are awesome...

  • @13cocsLink I say the same thing, in this order the singles should have been Touch My Body, Migrate, Love Story, Ill Be Lovin U Long Time/Side Effects, and I stay in love.

  • IDJ doesnt give her all the promo a star of her magnitude should be recieving!! during the memoirs and mc2y era's rihanna got tons of promo 4 her albums!! i cant wait till she leaves that shitty ass company b/c they're not supporting her!! even the radio isnt supporting her with them knowing she has the potential to pass the beatles record!! plus idj fucked up heavy with e=mc2 and memoirs singles..even singles that could have been released of teom!! MC-->COLUMBIA!!

  • @MrQuadarius she is going back to sony in 2012. she has 1 album left for the contract and that's why she started writing for an album even though she said she is gonna take a break. and the album will be out b4 2012.

  • @iiAmitx3 I REALLY WANT THIS ALBUM TO BE A GREATEST HITS ALBUM INSTEAD OF A COMPLETE NEW STUDIO ALBUM..IT IS WAY TOO SOON 4 A NEW STUDIO ALBUM..EVEN THOUGH I GET SO EXCITED OF HER SAYING SHE'S GOING TO BE RELEASING NEW MATERIAL..ITS JUST TOO SOON AND SHE DOESNT GIVE PPL ENOUGH TIME TOO MISS HER JUST LIKE WHEN TEOM ERA WAS OVER THEN 3 YRS LATER SHE CAME OUT WITH THE E=MC2..THATS THE TYPES OF BREAKS SHE NEEDS!..SHE CANT BE RELEASING ALBUMS IN A CONSECUTIVE ORDER LIKE SHE DID IN THE 90'S!!

  • @MrQuadarius you think thats why MOAIA and MCIIU werent huge hits? and i agree with you that she needs to take bigger breaks. thats why teom and touch my body was successful imo. she needs more stuff that "talks" to the teens today. like more funny music videos or collabos with big stars like david guetta or pitbull but then she won't be herself anymore and many fans will be mad. i think mariah will feel like she is cheating on her fans when she does a greatest hits album without new material...

  • @iiAmitx3 KiNDA ITS LIKE EVEN IF MARIAH CONTINUES TO PUT OUT NEW ALBUMS YR AFTER YR HER VIDEOS AND SINGLES HAVE TO BE ON POINT AND CORRECT AND LATELY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD DECISIONS!! MOAIA AND MCIIU COULD OF BEEN BIGGER HITS WITH THE PROPER PROMO AAND CORRECT SINGLES..PUT IT LIKE THIS..MARIAH HAS A STRUCTURED FAN BASE..IF THE E=MC2 WAS AS SUCCESSFUL AND TEOM THAN HER FAN BASE WOULD OF STAYED STRONG..IF HER ALBUMS ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL.SHE LOSES FANS OF HER MATERIAL AND THUS NOT GETTIN HIT ALBUMS

  • @iiAmitx3 MOAIA AND MCIIU COULD OF BEEN BIGGER HIT ALBUMS..PUT IT LIKE THIS..MARIAH HAS A STRUCTURED FAN BASE..IF IDJ WERE TO RELEASE ALL SINGLES THAT THE FANS ARE FEELING THE MOST AND MAKING GREAT APPEALING VIDEOS..MARIAH ALBUMS WOULD REMAIN SUCCESSFUL AND THUS B/C HITS JUST LIKE TEOM..MANY FANS WILL ALWAYS STAY LOOKING FORWARD TO HER MATERIAL IF HER ALBUMS ARE SUCCESSFUL..BUT THATS ONLY FOR PPL THAT JUST DIG HER MATERIAL AND WILL BUY HERE ALBUMS..US LAMBS WILL SUPPORT HER NO MATTER WHAT

  • @MrQuadarius i agree 100% (: her label should listen to the fans more...

  • @iiAmitx3 THANK GOD SHE'S GOING BACK TO SONY..ALL OF THIS TORMENT WILL BE OVER lOl

  • @MrQuadarius AMEN!

  • @MrQuadarius she cant wait another 3 years because shes not getting any younger and an album requires alot of enerygy for touring promoting and performing... and not to mention shes starting her family.

  • @MaxAime THATS TRUE BUT SHE COMING OUT WITH ANOTHER ALBUM AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND I CANT WIAT FOR THAT HOPEFULLY IDJ PUTS ALL TYPES OF PROMOTION INTO THIS ALBUM BC MARIAH NEEDS ALL THE PROMOTION SHE CAN GET HOPEFULLY SHE GETS PROMOTION LIKE SHE DID FOR TEOM!!

  • She looks great here...There's Trey...here voice seems a little tired but I still love this performance.

  • luv dis song.. but dis song is hard to sing.. i couldnt do d whisper register hehe

  • @seijiru14 Whispering words tires your vocal chords faster than using chest voice.

  • @rekupp it really does. i get tired when i (try to) sing a lot with mariah to songs like butterfly..

  • Am I the only Lamb who actually like thi performance? o_0 lol Its not her best but its nt that bad either sh sounds a lil sick and the breating technique is off but i like ths.

    btw follow me on twitter @Artistic_Mus3 #LambsUnite

  • @ArtisticProdigy09 i love it too 

  • @mrmba09 Okay lol i thought it was just me lol

  • shes the best!!!

  • Aii ela deu uma erradinha neeh =[

    mas naturaal...

    Lindaaaa musicaa, Lindaa vooz, Lindaa Mariiaaah *-*

    AmoO.

  • i believe this just isn't a good day...cause she usually songs like the track...just a bad day

  • Not a good day for Mariah, but that's ok. We love you anyways :)

  • there´s no comparation about Mariah... she´s single and best femmale world´s voice...

  • FINALLY! A fully live, non-concert performance. This is rare for her these days, so enjoy this.

  • Nenhuma dessas cantoras de hoje em dia canta nem a metade do que Mariah canta, NENHUMA!

  • woah def on an off day for her in terms of her voice here... she looks stunning here though

    of crse even on an off day she sounds better than most singers

    her voice is def back though... jus look at her amazing performances for the christmas specials last year

  • this song is hard to sing one to 10 it's an 11

  • @marvelucla all of her songs are hard to sing ; ) only she can do it.

  • @tvbgalore her and her mom her mom is an opera singer and taught her that whistle thing AAAAAAHHHHH-aahhhhhh lol

  • @marvelucla this song isnt hard to sing, she had no breath support which is why she fails when she trys to keep up with the arrangement of this song !

  • EVERYONE LISTEN TO MY REMIX OF HATE U, JUST TYPE IN THE NAME Kathlean Lobban :) Hope you all like it.

  • Amazing

  • @Eroswong yea that is a very very difficult note to hit! But who knows if that was live or prerecorded but who cares... I still love MC!!!

  • watch?v=Z9i03WJMyFw&feature=re­lated

  • Did anyone else catch that @ 2:29? I love MC but I'm just saying...

  • @latinaempress i think except the high note, everything is live 

  • @latinaempress yes EVERYONE caught it..she sings live, but uses pre recorded vocals sometimes. she sounds so much better than this now.

  • @latinaempress ya that was not gd... def an off day for her

    i think thats why she suddenly went into whistle note

  • Very uninspiring and stiff performance. I hate to say it since I'm a hardcore fan

  • perfect!

  • David Letterman is a weird guy

  • its a hard song!!! LOL

  • PERFECT! LYM Mariah (: <3

  • Short information^^ I am able to do this whistle notes, they arn't hard compared to the falsetto part. I she do the falsetto part live, she do the whistle part live. Beltig part?? Its really hard for me as guy to belt as high as mariah and sound that angelic <3

  • this easily could have been a number 1 with proper promotion at the time...

  • @89leviathan yo tambien pienso que le falta una promocion que sea de la talla de artista de ella

  • How She Mess Up & Come Back And Hit The Perfect Whistle Note Only Mcc Can Do That

  • She is the most amazing singer in the world her voice is like an angel ! x

  • i commend her for doing that totally live

  • thats little breathy squeeks during the last whistle better be the back up singers

  • True,her whistle at 2:29 looked lipped

    But i'm sure it was LIVE, she never sang like this , so raw, totally different from the CD version and other live version.

    Stop saying it's pre-recorded.

    Let see 2:25, she almost can't reach that notes, Boy "I"

    Also,the 2:28 "Hate you" sounds so tired,it's impossible for her to record such a "BAD" version.(sorry to say,it did sound so tired)

    the following part are SO live,

    the whistle at 3:05 was REALLY live,

    Lipped lol?

    I love this performance btw

  • OW MAY GAAAWWWDDDDDDDD, HOW DID MARIAH DID THAATTTTTT SO BEAUTIFUL

  • all the high notes are pre recorded and yes they sound different that's the whole point

    you prerecored so they sound live

  • tho there're many slips, but i like that!

  • He voice is so jacked up it's sad

  • *in Character

  • She was in charter in this performance. Such a sad song! :( btw, "Merry Christmas II you" out November 2nd and she brought her old singing back

  • This song is very difficult to sing. And nobody can't sing like the one and only, Mariah Carey.

  • She Was Lip-Syncing Towards The End Where The High Note Was (2:27)

  • @MonkeysRule6211 how can you tell?

  • @destiniegee

    cause.. her mouth moves after she whistles...

  • @destiniegee Cause Her Mouth Starts Moving After The Whistle Starts

  • @MonkeysRule6211 ur rite sumtymes she does fake the whistle but its no doubt thats its still there...cuz ive heard her live do it and crack  once recently

  • @MonkeysRule6211

    Did she lip that one whistle? maybe, but please don't make things up especially since we can all watch this video, her mouth is clearly moving with the whistle, and her mouth does not have to move with a whislte anyway its her vocal chords doing the work. All that aside...Her mouth was CLEARLY open well before the whistle started,

  • @OKzs No,that was playback, If U hear another live performances,you can clearly see how she uses the same playback in all of her HATEU lives,she have the same vocal accidents,the same vibrato,texture & her voice breaks at the same parts

    She's used to lip synch the high chest and whistle notes..

    that's because she put all of her registers in the songs,and,obviously,her voice can be dawned if she sings 2 hours in a concert using all of her gorgeous vocal range..she lip synch,but that's justified

  • @soulandmore

    You really have to pay attention to what is being written, the person I replied to said that the whistle came out before her mouth was moving which is FALSE. That's what I was talking about. Not whether she lip synching or not

    Read it again

  • @OKzs I know that, I'm telling that she's doing playback, it's not live, I know what was he telling, I'm doing a reason

  • @soulandmore

    Mariah is very beautiful

  • @OKzs YEah!! beautifoul body, beautiful voice, Beautiful style

  • She shouldve sung this song first, then obssessed...Love u Mariah, u get an E for Effort....True talent boo, i dont know anyone else who couldve pulled that off...and nontheless David Letterman liked it, and thats all that matters...

  • my fav song out of the whole album

  • 2:28 hmm...... i knw mariah can sing but why'd she have to lip that note ?

  • my favorite song in memoirs of an imprefect angel &

  • at 3:31

    she gave exactly her "90's look".

  • Lolz the whiseling part isn't that hard as the other parts of the song!

    This is 100% live

  • now i know EXACTLY what the problem was, i just now noticed it too, MARIAH TAKE OFF THAT TIGHT ASS CORSET! 3:41 look at that shit, you can see it squeezing her waist, no wonder my girl was out of breath the whole performance, that "medevil era device" looks like it'll chock the shit out a bitch, right from the start i'm thinking "why is she out of breath, did she have to run to the stage?" no it's just that damn corset won't let her lungs expand, ohh girl! still love her tho :)

  • wow AMAZING PERFORMANCE ! i love this song so much, has such an important meaning to me hehe 2:28 she's no lipping and i think her voice is so rested to hit the hit notes and those super falsettos that she just opened up her mouth and whistled without catching much breath ;DD

  • Hey I AM a FAN but not a retard!! if she wouldn´t have missed the pre recorder wistle at 2:29 she would have foolled me again. She must recover her voice or stop singing.

  • Hey I AM a FAN but not a retard!! if she wouldn´t have missed the pre recorder wistle at 2:29 she would have foolled me again. She must recover her voice or stop singing.

  • and birth hormone crap is making her shit thicker, and the soft air is not passing through her vocal flaps as freely, its the softer stuff she has a problem with, when she goes hard, she KILLS it.

  • something else about her, something I hear every time she sings live. Fear, stage fright. She has horrid stage fright, Her voice makes her freak out, and I think she handles rather well!

    I have heard lots of people with stage fright crack hardcore under pressure.

  • She finally sang this live all the way through.

  • Also she had another struggling performance on this show back in 97 when she song Butterfly,same breath control problem missing a couple of notes,yet when i go on that video everyone was like" this is the Mariah i miss,this was great"

    But here she's getting thrashed for something she can't help.people just because she doesn't sing near perfect like she use to doesn't mean that her voice is gone or is deteriorating,she isn't as young anymore and has nodules and some minor damage.

  • She is so good

  • oh buddy!!!

  • Mariah Carey :) <3

  • She sounded like a cuckoo at the end.

  • She made a flaw, but she still did it great, not because it's her song, but she is a voice.

    This song sounds extremely difficult.

    MC says this "as long as I can reach my note, I'm ok"

    so I guess she wasn't that ok that time

  • what happeend at 2:29 theres a whistle not but her mouth wasnt moving when it started going...

  • @yesAudis4 it came out from her ass I think...

  • @yesAudis4 I think that it's a lyric vocal method.Also Pavarotti, sometimes was able to do something like this.

    Really...It's seems like the same method...she studied also lyric so I think that it's not pre-recorded

  • @yesAudis4 no u can see that her mouth moving end at 2.99 .....

  • @yesAudis4 Playback in all the whistle parts

  • she's not singing it badly, she's trying not to cry while singing it.

  • I love you MC

  • I love you mariah, you save me
