"H.A.T.E.U." is a track that Mariah Carey's been talking about on her Twitter for quite some time, and now that Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel has leaked, we can hear what she's been so excited about. It's a pretty basic ballad, but it's definitely not bad, or an album filler. Mariah's flutter about the song made it sound like it was a possible single, but the character of "H.A.T.E.U" doesn't really make it sound like its designed to dominate charts and get Mariah that 19th #1. What it does do though, is indicate that having The Dream and Tricky Stewart create the bulk of the material on her album, was a good decision.
