The notion of stability for a polarized projective variety was introduced by D. Mumford for the study of the moduli problem of projective varieties. The stability has been verified by Mumford for smooth algebraic curves, D. Gieseker for algebraic surfaces and Viehweg for algebraic manifolds, which are polarized by m-pluri-canonical bundles for m sufficiently large ([Md], [Gi], [Vi]). However, it still seems to be a challenging problem to check the stability for a given polarized variety, even if the variety is a singular hypersurface in some projective space. The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient and intrinsic condition for a hypersurface to be stable or semistable. The condition is given in terms of the properness or lower buundedness of a generalized K-energy, which was introduced by T. Mubachi for Kahler manifolds. In particular, we will prove that any hypersurface is semistable if it has only orbifold singularities of codimension at least two and admits a Kahler-Einstein orbifold metric. We denote by i?n^ the space of all homogeneous polynomials on C n+2 of degree d, and B the projective space PRn^d. Any point [/] in B determinates a unique hypersurface S/ in CP of degree d. The special linear group G — SX(n + 2, C) induces an action on the vector space Rn^d by assigning / to / o <j~ for any a in G. Then we say that E/ is stable if the orbit Gf is closed and the stablier of / in G is finite; we say that S^ is semistable if the zero in Rn^d is not contained in the closure of the orbit Gf. It is well-known that any smooth hypersurface E/ is stable. However, if E/ has only one isolated
