The Blueprint for Evolution
This is the finest display of reinvention since Madonna.
Cee-lo Green has shown himself to be someone who has continued to remain relevant in the music industry. He performed "Crazy" at the Grammy's last night like it was the frickin' National Athem. Just amazing! He's changed his image and appeal, without negleting his core audience. He's now appealing to wider group of music lovers without selling out! It's a beautiful thing people it really is. "Ya'll are sleep and I'm trying to wake you the fuck up!" (a quote from The Smoking Aces- I know it didn't fit...I just really wanted to use it!)While he's always been very creative and a little eccentric, he has truly come into his own. From Soul Food and Goodie Mob to St. Elsewhere and Gnarls Barkley...Cee-lo Green is friggin amazing and has evolved into this uber cool icon without loosing his street cred (although, his daughter, Sierra, on my Super Sweet Sixteen almost got his card revoked!)

yes girl. I love me some Cee-lo! Evolution is a beautiful thing to watch, and I mean that about you too:) He was at Havanna Club last Christmas when I was there (the same club were we stumbled into the skeezer convention) In the punchout today the making of Jeezy's "Go getter" video with Chris directing came on and I thought of you!
his daughter is def. a mess. i wouldn't say re-invention, i would say evolution. b/c like you said he just took it to another level. love it. that's how i feel about outkast too. there's always a diff sound. tho i'm sure not all of their fans can always go there w/them. a lot can. love it.
music: im stingy with the good shyt. and even though im elated over the success and exposure he's garnered from gnarls barkley, the world's a little late. pop culture's infaution with being "weird" just feels a lil fake to me. no matter. il be a fan before, now and later.
