Cee-Lo's recent single, the ingenuously titled "Fuck You" has been causing quite the stir, both for its provocative title and it's impossible to ignore catchiness. Although Cee-Lo didn't expect the track to take off the way it has, he's not wasting any time capitalizing on the momentum, dropping a clean radio version (lamely titled "Forget You") and a brand new video to follow up the text-only version that was first released. Following Cee-Lo as he moves from dorky little kid to, well, somewhat dorky full grown (but rich) man. This is one of the more enjoyable songs I've heard in a minute, so I'm happy to say this is also an immensely enjoyable video.
As long as we're here, I saw this headline earlier today: "Cee-Lo Explains Controversial Fuck You". Um, do we really need an explanation? What is there to possibly clarify? Anyway, I won't ruin this one without any more of my inane commentary. Just enjoy.
All power to the man. Great video for a great song. I've had people who aren't into Hip Hop, or even narrowed down to the soulful type of music Cee-Lo makes, send me links to this or bring it up, all praising the song. It's just super catchy and enjoyable.

People quickly forget how popular Cee-Lo's other track "Crazy" was. All of America loved that. As unlikely as it may seem on the surface, there's just something about the ex Goodie Mob member that people can't resist. Good music wins out every time.

This is absolutely oustanding! There's no other explanation. Wait, what's that? The radio version is titled "Forget You"? Ah yes, go back to RH's original post for this track and check the comments. I believe I just won my own contest hahaa! (I know, it's not that cool).
