History YMMV / CeeLoGreen

* NeverLiveItDown: His rape comments.

* DeaderThanDisco: His rape comments have seriously damaged his chances of scoring another hit.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGr3cBuM8Zw "Fuck You!"]]

* InternetBacklash: Of all the things Cee Lo could have said to spark off this reaction, it was changing a couple of lyrics from the Music/JohnLennon song "Imagine" when singing the song during 2012 New Year's Day. Although not all John Lennon fans were upset at Cee Lo, the rest of them gave him the kind of disapproval usually reserved for Music/JustinBieber. Ouch.

* MisaimedFandom: A rare positive example. According to a JET magazine interview, Cee Lo said the main reason he wrote "Fuck You" was to get forced out of his contract with Atlantic Records, since he felt that the company constrained his sense of creativity. Ironically enough, despite the song primarily designed as a TakeThat to Atlantic, the company ''loved'' the single and enthusiastically advertised the song afterward, along with the album "The Ladykiller". That's not to say Cee Lo wasn't grateful for the odd change of heart.

* TearJerker: His song with Gnarls Barkley, "Just a Thought."
* {{Wangst}}: Parodied with the Gnarls Barkley single "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhPVA3AEioE Whatever]]."

* HilariousInHindsight: In "Fuck You!", Cee Lo sings that "She's an UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} and I'm an UsefulNotes/{{Atari|2600}}." Nearly five years later, his song made it onto UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} and UsefulNotes/XboxOne (albeit in {{bowdlerise}}d form) in the rhythm game ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}: Music Evolved''. Guess who's an Xbox (360 or One) now?

* SequelDisplacement: Despite Cee Lo's connections to Goodie Mob and his Gnarls Barkley material, a surprising number of listeners (mostly older R&B fans) think he's a new artist, and that ''The Lady Killer'' was his first album ever, rather than his first full fledged R&B album.

* HateDumb: Most of this stems from people who think Cee Lo's an attention whore, not only because of his outrageous fashion sense that rivals LadyGaga and NickiMinaj, but also from people who think he's a gimmicky artist famous only for a [[PrecisionFStrike profanity laced]] track title, and the catchy pop song "Crazy", despite Cee Lo working in the music industry for at least a decade (and not just as a producer/singer, but song writer). Some detractors noted that Cee Lo co-wrote for the Music/PussycatDolls single "Don't Cha", increasing the hate. Then the 2012 New Years Day flub happened, and the outcries of Cee Lo being a hack increased ten fold (see InternetBacklash).

His first R&B album, sure, but not altogether.

* IAmNotShazam: There are a good number of people who thought "Gnarls Barkley" was his name.
