I am a fan of his, I like his style and find his story fascinating. I don't like that song as much as Forget You but still enjoyed the performance.
Cee Lo Green on the Results show

My mother called me to ask me who "the man singing in his pajamas" was. I think most of her generation wouldn't know who he was. I wonder if Strictly superfan HRH Camilla knew him.
For me personally loved him in Gnarls Barkley and their wonderful song Smiley Faces was used for my favourite ever jive by Vincent & Louisa (didn't watched series 2 of Stricly so didn't see the Halfpenny jive live so don't have the emotional love for it that I do for V&L.) Can't really remember much about the song on Saturday which says it all for me but he does have a wonderful voice.

Cee-Lo Green is fab. Everyone must have heard this one...though the word has been changed to Forget.

I had never heard of him so I waited with anticipation but found it so awful I had to turn the sound down! Best voice in America, said Claudia. What? 
I think he was live on Ken Bruce's programme this morning, I was still very underwhelmed and sort of mentally turned off whilst he was singing.

Yes he was - IMO he was on better form - I enjoyed him singing live on Ken Bruce's show particularly the funked up version of David Bowie's 'Lets Dance' he did.
I absolutely love Cee lo but that was the wrong song to sing imo, it doesn't really go anywhere.
For those of you not sure, he did a live lounge for Radio 1 that was amazing, he seems like a lovely guy too, but I guess he's one of those singers where you either love or hate his voice.
ETA sorry, it looks like you can't listen to it anymore. It was fantastic though.

Thanks for trying.
He sounds to me like one of the old Stax singers or someone from that era - a proper singer of proper songs which is why I felt so nowty when he was poor the other night.

His session on Ken Bruce's show has been put up on BBC music website.

Looking at those teeth, I have to say Neigh!
Awful singer, and even worse dancers, why couldn't they have used the Pro's?

Loved him singing Crazy and Smiley Faces, but on the Results Show he sang such a dull song, and didn't help by showing up in a shell suit, I was disappointed.

Nay from me.
Shrek and Cee L Green. I'm spotting a theme.”

A Big Yay from me, I love him.
Agree Pet Monkey, it was definitely a Nay - very disappointing from him, he's one you usually look out for.
Interestingly, he performed on X-factor a couple of weeks back, and that was good, although there were a lot of different factors at work there: different song, bigger stage, lots of lights.
Seems like it just wasn't his night.

I agree I thought he was great.
