this article severly needs a picture to make the name recognizable to a face. I'm begging for anyone's help in this area. JuliusMalone27 22:19, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: 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)
thread_title:  messed up link 

message: 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.

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)

thread_title:  Article needs to be heavily revised 

message: 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)

replies: text:  It is true, He was indeed born Thomas Burton. He explains in his book (and on Leno) that when his mother passed away he changed it to 'Calloway' (her maiden name). --Loginnigol 18:55, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Thomas Burton"? 

message: 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.

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

message: "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)

message: 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)
replies: text: No it isn't. Yves (talk) 01:22, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

text: 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)

thread_title:  Cee Lo vs. Cee-Lo 

message: 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;
* Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections
* Cee-Lo Green... Is the Soul Machine
* Closet Freak: The Best of Cee Lo Green the Soul Machine
* The Lady Killer (album)
*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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: Moved Perfect Imperfections to match album typography, although arguably those are also all lower cased.--William Allen Simpson (talk) 11:16, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
