Ceelo spoke on the loss of his mother so passionately. Honoring her memory. That. Part.

[@RythymBeast]

Cee Lo you are the man. Straight up classy dude.

[@iliv3b3yondth3arc]

This explains all those deep songs he makes (and the fun ones). Sorry Cee-lo had to lose his mom, but so glad he was strong enough to handle it, because he's made a positive impact with his life, and great music.

[@1956mermaid]

Cee Lo Green......is an AWESOME talent....so many styles, and all with that powerful and soulful voice..he ROCKs!!! XXXXXXXXXXLove love love

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

CEE LO GREEN IS SUCH CLASS ACT !!!

[@Tifferia]

@hilltree402 he didn't say it was reason people envy him, he said he felt that it was as if he had to pay that price to be successful, to get the motivation to work for this career.

[@idealreelz]

@KnightBackup Have you ever listened to Cee-lo's music? I mean damn dog old Goodie Mob is some of the most inspirational and introspective hip hop out there. Everybody does dumb shit when they're young man. It's being able to see your faults and make changes that makes you a man. I'm not defending his past actions though he was a pretty demented kid.

[@Antrizzle2009]

@irtimed Me too! 15 years ago back in his Goodie Mobb days. Saw a concert with them and the Roots and me my step dad smoked a blunt with him and Black Thought. True story.

[@fairlanewhip79]

Hahaha that’s awesome

[@MeganWall1019]

Well Said

[@dubboii]

amazing vid!

[@MisterBeaucoup]

@Ralzaly LMAO.... I thought George Stephanopoulous had the longest name, but this dude takes the cake.

[@MEB2kDeez]

@KnightBackup amen

[@hilltree402]

@Tifferia hmmm, I think he said he's not sure other people would give up their parents to get where he is. Lots of people have lost parents early, me included, but that doesn't give them the connections he has. I said he's a talent, just maybe he should give credit where it's due.

[@innerauthority]

@Steadno LOL. My life is at a standstill sorry. Just can't get over it.

[@allenanb]

@BGambino1215 and when he did? what happened not enough of us bought it goodie mob had some complex robust sound and subject matter and ppl just werent trying to hear that and what he sings now is still soul unfortunatly it doesn't seem like "black" ppl really appreciate "black" music. Although every1 should be able to enjoy it

[@TheDoodlibop]

@puggymonster lol seriously!! I feel like if I were to sit down with him, we'll be best friends and I'll be bawling about every trivial event of my sad pathetic life. xD

[@6663000]

@irtimed really ? My friend jumped on stage with GZA one time, and smoked a blunt with Akil from Jurassic 5 a couple years ago :P

[@zabuma]

AIN'T THAT SOME SHIT!

@shtboxexpose Touche.

[@Ms.KTEdwardsDUKES6099]

Computer from Elmo's World Pets as Ne-Yo

[@jjames05]

George's name is ridiculously long

[@327bran]

@artistMarcus lol i think it is an R and a N. Just looks like an m haha

[@hilltree402]

he's a talent, but right-place-right-time doesn't hurt either. lots of people have lost their parents, so that's a pretty lame thing for him to bring up as a reason people envy him.

[@irtimed]

I've smoked a blunt with him.

[@Kingkong9099]

" hell of a molment to get there"

[@Ralzaly]

@puggymonster or he should rename the show because his last name is too long

[@msladytodayanderson2200]

Cee lo will you date me?

[@Steadno]

@sumkindawunnerful artists do that...move on in life

[@327bran]

How the hell do you pernounce that name lmao

[@innerauthority]

Why the fuck is he wearing sunglasses. Like...you're inside.
