Cee Lo Green

[simplybrian]

is a peacock... wtf

[kvnty]

Forget you!

[sk8r408]

That performance was sick!! I can't wait to see what he has planned for Coachella!

[citizenerased]

Haha that ruled. I say bring back the costume and muppets for Coachella.

[Somewhat Damaged]

That performance was sick!! I can wait to see what he has planned for Coachella!

I can wait, too. I can wait another 61 days.

[daxton]

Don't act surprised. Those Dungeon Family boys have always been eccentric.

[stewboss]

Gwyneth not looking too shabby either ...

[PlayaDelWes]

Gwyneth not looking too shabby either ...

or sounding too shabby. Bring it all to Coachella I say.

[sbessiso]

Im in awe of him. Look up the word spectacular and you'll see that million dollar grin of his. That was just brilliant, and Gywneth was fantastic! They were soo cute together

[Gribbz]

I hope I can see him at Coachella. Not holding my breath since he's playing Friday.

Ugh.

[jgcrump]

It was an all around great performance! Complete with peacock feathers and silver breastplate......

Instantly jumped him from "might check it out" to "oh god this needs to be experienced"

[kvnty]

Someone who outdressed Gaga even. Never thought I'd ever say that.

[jgcrump]

Instantly jumped him from "might check it out" to "oh god this needs to be experienced"

I agree. Cee Lo probably just catapulted himself onto the "must see" lists of a lot of folks. I know I will be there.

[Antoine3323]

Loved that performance. Still, the radio edit really takes something away from the song. If there's no conflicts, Im definitely checking him out

You just won the internet. Congrats.

[Bumblebee]

He might actually "out-costume" Empire of The Sun!!!

[chopperdave934]

If there's a chance there are gonna be muppets, I'm not sure I can miss that.

[thetello]

yep, game changer right there, went from a maybe to why the fuck would i be anywhere else?

[GuyInTucson]

Why does Cee Lo Green wear that outfit? Because Cee Lo Green can do whatever the fuck Cee Lo Green wants, that's why.

[Inthecolumbiagorge]

Whatever Cee Lo does, or wears, or brings with him, it is bound to be a show!

[MissingPerson]

I like this.

[GaragePoet]

i didn't catch his performance on the Grammys last night, and i still intend to catch his set at Coachella, but i just saw his show in San Diego last Thursday & it was fucking terrible. dude shows up an hour late (1 AM), plays for less than 30 mins., and left a good majority of the vocals to the audience and the backing vocal track on the music. i know he's a better performer than that, it was just very apparent that he didn't give half a shit about the show or the people who came to see it. very disappointing.

[AbundantChoice]

He wore the outfit as a direct homage to when Elton John did Crocodile Rock on the muppets a loooong time ago:

AWESOME.

He reminded me of Elton John, but I didn't remember Elton whore the same outfit in that performance. And I had seen it before!

Cee Lo will be a must-see @ Coachella!

[daxton]

I really want to see Gnarles Barkley one day.

[concertgoer]

Looking forward to his set
I really like the album

[brycerosen]

i saw gnarles barkley a few years back and Cee Lo is a straight up performer, will not disappoint anyone who sees him

[daxton]

I should probably get this album. I don't know what I've been waiting for.

[aB9010]

Pardon my ignorance, but why is everybody saying they're not missing Cee Lo Green? Is he a good live performer? puts a good show? or what? I just started listening to him so I don't really know about him, besides he's most recent hit "Fuck You" or "Forget You" but I wouldn't mind watching his performance.
Thanks in advance.

[daxton]

1. Goodie Mob
2. Gnarles Barkley
3. Recent solo album

Well yeah, but this particular thread was in response to his Grammy performance:

[aB9010]

Gotcha! I saw the peacock!

[The Coach]

1. Goodie Mob
2. Gnarles Barkley
3. Recent solo album

Hard to disagree, but his range and ability to push past a certain genre of music makes his 3 projects very close in quality, perhaps more than just a 1,2,3.
I always thought Goodie Mob was as good as Outkast, all because of CeeLo's voice and rapping ability. My favorite work of his is "Odd Couple". If you are just discovering CeeLo....get that Gnarles Barkley cd and take a long drive. "St. Elsewhere" is also great, but not arranged as well.
His new cd is so good. "Fuck You", even if it wasn't on the radio, is the worst song on that new cd. Not saying it's a bad song, but if you give each song a good listen and appreciate his voice, it is the worst. Bright Lights, Wildflower, Satisfied, I Want You, Cry Baby, Old Fashioned, No One's Gonna Love You...basically the entire album is so well done. After the Gorillaz fizzle last year, I am not going to expect muppets, Elton John outifts, or any crazy stuff. His voice is enough and I cant fucking wait.

[daxton]

Goodie Mob is so much more than Cee Lo! I think he really tied them together, though.

[The Coach]

Couldn't agree more. Goodie Mob was very fluid and just sounded right, each and every member. He was just the guy that floated to the top first because of his distinct voice and talent. His wikipedia page says that now that Lady Killer is done he is focusing on new Goodie Mob material. He is Jack White busy, and that Goodie Mob reunion is going to be insane.

[daxton]

New GM? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh shit! I knew that had a small tour last year, but I guess they'll do a proper one after a release.

[TommyboyUNM]

Now what they know about the banana and mayonnaise (mayonnaise)
Slices of toasted bread on the nap-kin
Straight up nuts with this country drawl
It ain't no reason lookin for it -- ain't no fuckin flaw
I didn't go to bed without my lucky bear claw

Great song. One of my favorites. Anybody know "Watch for the Hook?"

Cool...a video for the one song I actually like from the album

Awesome thread. Cee-lo will be awesome!

I love this. Need album. Need money first.

Ok. Apparently "behind" is an understatement. I haven't been following his solo career (I didn't know he had one before "Fuck You" came out). Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

[WhyTheLongFace]

No problem.

Yeah only one from Goodie Mob to really go on and have commercial success. I'm surprised you never heard "Closet Freak"

man ya'll don't remember this? this was my jam back in 7th grade...yes 7th grade

Damn I used to freestyle to that beat all the time. Here's a hidden Cee-Lo gem. His hook game is underrated

My GF is a fan of his new album, so I got tickets to see Cee Lo with Big Boi at Club Nokia last week. Having seen Gnarls Barkley twice (Coachella & The Hollywood Bowl), I knew not to expect too much from a live Cee Lo performance.

Evening results: Big Boi was amazing. Cee Lo was awful. The difference in the vibe of the crowd between the two acts was tremendous. Big Boi was on point, plus did a lot of Outkast tracks. Cee Lo's set was plagued with technical difficulties. Some artists can cover smoothly and entertain an audience when little things go wrong, but Cee Lo had nothing. He just sat on stage and waited for things to be fixed. Even after the technical issues were resolved, the performance was lackluster. The first portion of his set was with The Goodie Mob, and that didn't even reach the level of energy Big Boi kept up through his entire set. The Cee Lo portion picked up a little bit when he sang a couple Gnarls tracks and ended with "Fuck You." But still pretty weak.

I don't need to see Cee Lo a fourth time.

[dj12inches]

He might actually "out-costume" Empire of The Sun!!!

What about the Scissor Sisters? Coachella 2011 = project runway?

[Maijag]

Anyone know what Cee-Lo's set list is looking like these days?

While I'm amused by his recent solo effort, I'd drop everything and run to his set if he's playing tracks from St. Elsewhere or The Odd Couple.

Love the lyrics on this song. Cee-Lo had better bring it, I have high hopes!!

[naruto_kenshin]

THATS Mr. Peacock to you!

[shoegazer76]

Went to see Cee Lo & Ting Tings a few hours ago on The Strip. Great show. It should be aired at some point but I don't know on which station. It was produced by Red Bull & called Sound Clash. Cee Lo brought out the rest of Goodie Mob for a track and they were solid as ever.

[wewantmuse]

hey i was there too! i was actually kind of disappointed in cee lo tonight. seemed like his sound was all sorts of fucked at the beginning, but it did get better around round 3. maybe my expectations were too high, because i thought he was going to murder ting tings (especially after his grammy performance and ting tings lackluster '09 coachella appearance).

on the other hand, i thought ting tings were incredible. they were a million times better tonight than their coachella set.

regardless, the soundclash is an incredibly cool concept, and i hope they come back. the turnout was surprisingly good despite the strokes playing, neon reverb, and some other shows all going on. i'm jealous of people in texas who get snoop dogg vs ghostland observatory next week.

[shoegazer76]

Ting Tings version of Smiley Faces was superb. I dug the remix of Crazy Cee Lo did in the begining. Nobody seemed to get into it :(

[wewantmuse]

we started off at cee lo's stage and eventually ended up at ting ting's stage partly because of the crowds. cee lo's crowd was simply lame, whereas ting tings crowd was really energetic and into the music. you're right, i loved the faster version of crazy he did, but when almost nobody was dancing/singing along, i realized it was time to bounce over to ting ting's stage.

hopefully cee lo will have a better crowd at coachella, and i hope he brings those same chicks who were playing with him. they were all pretty damn hot, especially that guitarist.

[concertgoer]

Very excited for Cee-Lo's set at Coachella
Is the new Ting Tings album every going to come out?

[Bumblebee]

http://www.nme.com/news/cee-lo-green/55525
Anyone know why he pulled out of SXSW this week?

CL also got added to the Rihanna arena tour across North Amerca.

[estebanet]

He's a must for me on Friday. But I'm scared of the conflicts

[juloxx]

Doubt this will happen but it will be great if he preforms his verse on...

[Bumblebee]

What's the likelihood of him doing "Crazy" in the desert?

[Joshkitchen90]

Very.
