Something isn't adding up, if the album was dedicated to her before it was released, there should be a citation because nothing indicates that she passed before it was released. |

messed up link
When I clicked on "Happy Hour" in this entry, it took me to a track listing for another CD titled "Happy Hour" released in 1992. 64.90.20.42 19:37, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Cee Lo's Mother
There are some inconsistencies with the article. Soul Food dropped in November of 1995, at which point His mother was still alive. On "Guess Who" Cee Lo talks about how she's talking so he knows she's going to walk again. Also, in Rolling Stones he talks about how she got into the accident while they were still recording the first album, and how she lived for three more years after the accident:
http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/ceelo/articles/story/5933669/ceelos_redemption_songs
If he was born in '74, and she was injured when he was 17, that would have marked the accident around 1991, and her death by 94, a year before the album was dropped with him talking about her still alive. Something isn't adding up, if the album was dedicated to her before it was released, there should be a citation because nothing indicates that she passed before it was released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.159.29.213 (talk) 2006-06-05 05:00:03 (UTC)
Is somewhat confusing, but the second to last page clearly reads "in memory of" and cee-lo's thank you's have R.I.P. after her name. so she had to have died sometime between the recording and the publishing, unless there's a reissued version of the CD JuliusMalone27 22:19, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Article needs to be heavily revised
...in order to remove POV, informal language, and the ever-lovable "weasel words". --FuriousFreddy 03:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I tried to take out anything that would seem more opinionated than factual JuliusMalone27 22:19, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
"Thomas Burton"?
The article says he was born Thomas Burton. I think this is a mistake; probably because of Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, who he is collaberating with. Or is this true? 65.92.94.242 17:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think you're right, have removed "Thomas Burton", unable to find any other reference to him with that name. 38.101.8.2 19:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Successful Solo Career?
Quoting the intro paragraph, "...and has also recorded two successful solo LPs. ...". Also, quoting a lower section, "The album did not sell well...".
I just finished reading the article in the current Rolling Stone (Aug 2006) about Cee-Lo, that specifically said his 2 solo albums were commercial flops. I believe stating that he has "two successful solo LPs" is a complete misnomer, and needs to be removed, as they were far from successful, and ended uo getting him dropped from his label.

Just to let JuliusMalone27 who took an album and a few songs off of Cee-Lo featuring list, I have all of these songs and the album "dirty south classics" that's how I know they all exist. So please do not erase these songs or albums again. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BustaJust (talk • contribs) 2006-11-11 04:38:21 (UTC)

- well, especially without a valid link, that would make this a rumor. we dont report on rumors. problem solved.76.245.46.57 (talk) 04:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Vocal Range
Couldn't find anything regarding Cee-lo being criticized for a small vocal range. In fact, the only think I could find was this bit about how his range is "incredible." I don't believe this article is worth citing, so I decided to just delete that phrase in the article all together.

Sociopathic Behaviour?
Should there be mention of Cee Lo Green's early behaviour, as cited in this article? http://www.blender.com/guide/68364/cee-lo-superfreak.html It seems noteworthy to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.220.174 (talk) 03:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- again, link is broken, so any speculations like this cannot go in article. shouldnt be here either.76.245.46.57 (talk) 04:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
There is a new article on visionary mag quoting the blender article. The removal of the blender article (and no other article from 2006) is also noteworthy. I added in the sociopathic quotes from the visionary article. Just because cee-lo is getting the articles removed from the internet doesn't mean it doesn't deserve mention. cameo (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
F#ck you
I don't know if the records of other country's are in, but the song just reached number one in the netherlands ^_^ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.212.124.115 (talk) 16:43, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- We can call it by its name, "Fuck You", we arent censored.76.245.46.57 (talk) 04:31, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Scarlet Fever
Cee-lo's live band in 2010 is the all-female group Scarlet Fever. Sharon Aguilar (guitar), Kristen Borrego (bass), Brittany Brooks (drums), and others. http://www.mi.edu/success/sharon-aguilar-brittany-brooks-land-gigs-with-ceelo --Design (talk) 12:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
'Scarlet Fever,' Cee Lo's all girl back up band: Brittany Brooks( drums), Sharon Aguilar (guitar), Theresa Flaminio (keys,BV), Regina Zernay (bass).--Design (talk) 06:06, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- They've racked up a fair number of televised appearances and international tours. Started the Scarlet Fever (band) article in February. Probably rates a mention in this article, too.

f you sounds like a song from 1969
in my opinion, the main melody line of f you (forget you), which gets repeated over and over through cee lo green's hit song, sounds a lot like the main melody line from a 1969 single by Houston Texas group The Clique entitled I'll Hold Out My Hand. Just a coincidence? 64.39.191.33 (talk) 16:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- not very close. just generic similarity to music from the era. hopefully, we will have some learned commentary on Green's melodies to add to the article. im absolutely amazed anyone is trying to write songs any more.76.245.46.57 (talk) 04:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Bright Lights, Bigger City
A video for Bright Lights, Bigger City was released. Is this a promotional single? Should it be listed as such? mikomango (talk) 01:50, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Brother?
"His brother, Elais, moved to Canada a year before her death." Cee Lo was just on Chelsea Lately and specifically said he does not have a brother, he has a sister. There is no citation attributed to the sentence I quoted either. Seems like this sentence should be removed unless someone can cite a source. Xprivate eyex (talk) 09:05, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Name Inconsistency
The title of the article is "Cee-Lo Green," but the first sentence states it's "Cee Lo Green" or "Cee Lo." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.94.110 (talk) 01:13, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- No it isn't. Yves (talk) 01:22, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
I think there should be a debate about his name here.
Allmusic, Amazon, Metacritic, his old albums use the name "Cee-Lo Green"
iTunes, official website omit the "-" here; use "Cee Lo Green"
What should we pick here? Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 16:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well if the official website omits the hyphen, I believe it shouldn't be there anymore. It is, after all, a stage name and not his real name. His recent releases and his official website all omit the hyphen, as do many sources such as MTV, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, the CBC, the BBC, etc. I believe this is a case similar to The Black Eyed Peas, whose releases post-Legally Blonde were credited to "The Black Eyed Peas" rather than "Black Eyed Peas". Official press releases from his label (Atlantic), including this one, omit the hyphen as well. Yves (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Cee Lo vs. Cee-Lo
The page says "Cee-Lo", but on his official page I can only find "Cee Lo". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.69.91 (talk) 17:01, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- Exactly. It used to be "Cee-Lo", but is not "Cee Lo". Refer to the section above. Yves (talk) 17:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- We should go with what his official site says? Similar issue with Ke$ha vs. Kesha. CTJF83 chat 22:37, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- Haha the Ke$ha site is filled with dollar signs. Cee Lo's site, on the other hand, uses the unhyphenated form. Yves (talk) 22:45, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- I prob linked the wrong one. Our page is without the dollar sign, for style reasons I guess. CTJF83 chat 22:51, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Per WP:BOLD, I've changed (and forwarded) Category:Cee-Lo albums to Category:Cee Lo Green albums, based on the discussions here and for naming consistency.
Please note, this change is best-effort; see WP:BRD. If people want to discuss things here, and change it around (e.g. make a sub-cat for the older 'Cee-Lo' ones), that's fine.
The articles changed are;
- Plus subcategory: Category:Gnarls Barkley albums
I had originally created and changed the articles to Category:Cee-lo albums but following a discussion on my own talk page, User talk:Chzz#Cee-lo albums (which will, later, be in User talk:Chzz/Archive 29#Cee-lo albums), I made the amendment above, and also redirected Category:Cee-lo albums to Category:Cee Lo Green albums. Chzz ► 19:07, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
- Good work! Probably don't need a subcategory, the search function finds both forms. The articles themselves (not the category) should match the historical record. If the albums are "Cee-Lo", then match the album wording. One problem is that international reviews still use "Cee-Lo", while U.S. reviews largely drop the hyphen.
--William Allen Simpson (talk) 13:01, 21 April 2011 (UTC)- Moved Perfect Imperfections to match album typography, although arguably those are also all lower cased.

I think Cee Lo's kitty cat needs some recognition somewhere. - Jasonbres (talk) 05:15, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
