You have got to be kidding. Yeah, the public hears the radio version with ‘forget you’ and the kids download the ‘f-you’ version. Talent? LOL!! Call me ‘sadly mistaken’ I suppose.
OK, you are sadly mistaken. Cee Lo has had success in a variety of styles of music. He had one of the biggest songs in recent memory with Crazy. I don’t know what you consider talented, but writing, producing and singing hit songs isn’t easy. Doing it for 15 years is even harder.
I have no idea what the download statistics are for the songs. It isn’t impossible that the radio edit becomes more popular. The Black Eyed Peas “Let’s Get It Started” is considerably more popular than the original “Let’s Get Retarded”. To the point that I bet most don’t even know the original.
