I Think Its Time To Recognize Cee-Lo Green's Singing Capabilities

[PhonZhi]

Heard his version of This Christmas for the first time yesterday and was impressed:



He's always been an amazing singer to me but i dont think he gets enough recognition. Matter fact, to me he has one of the greatest SOUNDING voices ive ever heard. Quite possibly the most distinct ever. I love it.

He killed this hook

He been nice since Goodie Mob days

 

[Real]

He's hit and miss

...his voice is the main reason why he became famous.

So u think its more about the sound of his voice than him being a "technically" good singer?

Your question is legitimately weird. The sound of his voice and his ability to sing (aka his technique) go hand in hand.

So I was basically saying he's famous because he's a good singer/has a great voice.

This isn't some Fetty Wap case where the harmonization sounds good but you know deep down you wouldn't want to hear Fetty pulling off the national anthem.

I hardly know anyone who can mimic the tune of "Crazy" like CeeLo.

Ceelo has a very interesting voice... but I think when they came out with Gnarls Barkley they were on to something.

This is my favorite version of Going On by Gnarls Barkley. His voice is very soulful and haunting compared to the album version.

I still can't figure out what he does when his back itches with those short ass arms of his.

Lol, you confused me. He started out with Goodie Mob singing so i was confused as to what else he would be famous for.

"Interesting"

Perfect word to describe his voice

He took that jazzy pop route and changed the game

I needed a forlorn song right about now.

 

[Chris Cool]

his discography is so underrated.

The song is quite melancholy...
