Message From CeeLo

http://www.ceelogreen.com/news,message-from-ceelo_476.htm

From what I read he did this before he was fired. He may be serving time for that date-rape case against him.

It's interesting for me, because I have watched this show since it's debut. At the time, I really had no idea who Cee Lo Green was. And even now that I am familiar with him, he doesn't strike me as having "a voice." I don't dislike him ("F**K YOU!" is a great song!), but I can't vibe with most of his music.

To me... he was the weakest coach and had never come close to winning (at any point in time), while he was on the show.

I'm really curious to see who they replace him with. And even though I'm not an Usher or Shakira fan, they were WAY better coaches than Cee Lo and Christina.

I watched clips of "The Voice" never the show...So Cee Lo can go in the night cuz I never gave the show a chance. I like all the Judges on the show but I'm just about done with Vocal Talent shows...

I've watched the show off and on and always thought, "why the fuck is that Cee Lo dude on it?". He was awkward, uninspiring and pretty lame as a judge.

Just learned from a dj on the radio that that song was written by Bruno Mars. Guess he wrote it for Cee Lo, and he fits the vibe of that song.

An insider with knowledge of Green’s situation revealed that the entertainer’s decision to quit the popular NBC show was done more to avoid being fired by the network and Mark Burnett Productions, the producer of “The Voice.”

...Although NBC wanted to join Green in announcing his departure together, a second insider with knowledge of the situation stated that the “F-You” singer opted to drop the news on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

The timing of Green’s announcement puts producers in a complicated position as they are unsure what to do with his vacant coach’s seat. The departure caps off a period of ups and downs regarding Green during the fifth season of “The Voice.” A season that included, as the insider described, at least one “meltdown,” according to the TheWrap.

With Burnett spend a lot of time with the emotional rapper/singer last season and at least two occasions where Green had to leave the set, there was a general belief among those involved with “The Voice” that the weight of potential prison time from a legal case had taken its toll on the entertainer.

Green is accused of slipping ecstasy to a 33-year-old woman ecstasy while the pair was dining at a downtown Los Angeles restaurant last July of last year. He’s charged with furnishing a controlled substance, a felony charge that can land him up to four years in state prison...

CeeLo Green Touring with Lionel Richie Post-Voice

CeeLo Green may be leaving NBC's The Voice, but the singer has plenty of things on his plate to keep him busy.

He will be joining Lionel Richie on tour for a slew of summer dates starting in May. He'll also be making his movie debut in the upcoming film Can A Song Save Your Life. And Green says he'll also be juggling several projects for NBC.

"NBC and I plan to continue our relationship with several new co-ventures including a new music show, while we also explore our ideas for me to create and host a new show of my own," Green told Ellen DeGeneresafter announcing his departure from The Voice. "I will not go quietly into the night ... expect more great music and entertainment done in my own unique unmistakable and undeniable way."

NBC's president of alternative and late-night programming Paul Telegdy also released a statement: "We're looking forward to working with him on other upcoming projects that will tap into both his musical and entertainment expertise."

"I don't want to wear out my welcome there. I have so many other things I want to do," Green also told DeGeneres on her show.

The singer is also still tending to legal issues. He was charged with supplying ecstasy to a woman who accused him of rape in October. Prosecutors didn't file a rape charge against the singer, but the drug charge is still pending. He pleaded not guilty to the felony charge of giving the woman ecstasy.

Glad he did

Hope he's back with Danger Mouse so we can listen to some good Gnarls Barkley again!
