you saying he dont have hits? everything he singin is a hit its like 85 oh his shit is like a gh status...thats how good his shit is

People knowing his album tracks doens't make them hits. And I certainly don't think he's stadium status. In fact he pretty much lost the crowd during the slow "singing" part. He's got a nice stage presence, but this entire set would come across much better in theater size venues. ...other than the fireworks.

trueiopian said:

He needs to go on tour ASAP!

thats a helluva stage he has

And why is he doing "Through The Wire" so you can't hear Chaka? And why did he only do one verse? Doin' the same mess that Jay does with his older songs.

touch the sky

we want prenup ...that audience is lovin it

turn up the lights in here bab-ay

ALL OF THE LIGHTS!!!!!!

It doesn't suck, but y'all are more easily entertained than I am. Watching one guy bounce around a stage (no matter how big) to some dats, records and sequencers really isn't my idea of a good show. I'll say again I think the size actually makes it less entertaining. It needs to feel more intimate.

better faster stronger lol...hitz...this dude

lol chariots of fire..i bet runaway is next

Runaway

at his singing.

I'm pissed that there's no naked Selita Ebanks covered in feathers for this performance!

I heard that Cee-Lo didn't have such a great time at Coachella

Coachella 2011 Friday: The Festival Kicks Off, Cee Lo Mouths Off, Dance Music Blasts Off

Coachella--and, for all intents and purposes, the entire summer concert season--kicked off Friday in California's Indio desert, and the three-day mega musical festival was a sold-out affair despite the current recession and ongoing whiny complaints about this year's "weak" lineup. (Um, hello: Kanye West, Duran Duran, the Strokes, the comeback of Britpoppers Suede, recent Album of the Year Grammy champs Arcade Fire, and many more? How is that "weak"?) Really, the festival offered everything any self-respecting fan of music (or just fun) could want: carnival rides, art installations, abundant (some might say over-abundant) sunshine, cute girls in gold lamé American Apparel bikinis, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, and of course, more hipster bands than you could shake a disco-stick at.

But it wasn't all good vibes on Coachella's first day, unfortunately. Surprisingly, a dark cloud fell over the festival in the form of the usually jolly Cee Lo Green, whose set gave his hit "F*** You" a whole new, quite literal meaning. He hit the stage a full half-hour past his advertised set time, and when he finally showed up, he was shockingly unapologetic, mumbling something about how he'd "just landed" and quipping, "It ain't my fault; they should have given me another set time!" Cee Lo had a point--a star of his caliber probably should have gone on later than 4:30pm--but his incessant bitter griping about his set being trimmed to four songs in 20 minutes (due to his tardiness), and constant swearing, won him few fans.

An angry Cee Lo demanded that the audience flip Coachella the bird, and a few spectators obliged, although most disgruntled punters didn't seem to be on Cee's side. Cee Lo and his foxy all-girl backing band managed to get through an instrumental of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," Gnarls Barkley's "Smiley Faces" and "Crazy," and his aforementioned profanity-laden smash hit, before the plug was sadly pulled on him right before he was about to belt out Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Yes, it was a shame that no one got to witness that, but Cee Lo's reaction--brattily pouting and storming offstage in a huff--was unprofessional. Sure, he only had 20 minutes, but he could have used those minutes more productively.

Erykah's set is amazing - I'm just surprised at all the feedback!! Kinda sad she didn't do "Friends" either as that was fucking awesome when she did it in Miami after the Appletree electro bit.

Lauryn Hill's set was really cool too but also mired by sound problems (though I'm starting to suspect that "turn my mic up" and "can you hear this alright?" are part of her live show schtick). That was some straight up rock n roll shit, I half expected Slash to walk out or somethin'. Idk how her voice can put up with all that yelling but it sure is fun to watch!

If I paid 300+ bucks (lowball) to get to this place like those THOUSANDS of peeps did I'd be royally ticked off. Its a shame that these big ticket festivals have such shitty production, but most of the people are so drunk of 20 dollar budweiser that they don't realize/care.

I hope that Duran Duran's set shows up online... Love them.

Coachella is not generally known for low production value or bad sound. Every year a few bands/artists have sound issues. But a majority of them sound as good as they would at any other show (and often better since many of them are playing on far larger systems than they normally do). I've been four times and I never once thought there was an issue with sound.

damn just heard about Cee Lo's performance! He must have known in advance the date and time for his set, so it's his fault he wasn't on time If there are a lot of other performers, he can't just expect to show up late and do his full set while the others wait...

Yeah,he only has himself to blame.It's a shame though,that he couldn't perform "Don't Stop Believing" (the Journey classic).
