The Grammy Awards are a joke. There are no real singers, just entertainers. There was a time when a singer only needed a microphone and a band. They didn’t need any back up dancers, singers,lighting displays and enhanced sounds. It was pure talent, and the bands had musical arrangements. Had my mother been alive she would say; “What is this dreck I’m listening to?” If each generation is identified by its music, where has the music gone?

FWIW, there is a radio edit "Forget You".
The Video
It is really catchy if not the best song of the year. And to anyone who thinks Cee Lo isn't talented, you are sadly sadly mistaken.

The Grammys suck. I’ll never forgive them for passing over “Good Vibrations” for “Winchester Cathedral” for Song of the Year. C’mon!!!You have discovered the essential truth of the Grammys. It's not about talent or musical quality, it's about how much cash flow was generated.

The Grammy Awards are a true testimonial to how far our country, our ethics and morals have fallen. They should be renamed to the Third World Bolshevik Awards.

Being of the older generation, please explain to me why the “C” is silent in rap? Ebonics, they drop a lot of letters.
Unlike British blacks, it's too much trouble to learn the native language.

And I see that Rev. Al is going to picket the FCC to get
‘Rush LUMbaugh’, as he calls him, off the air. He is a perfect example of finding some cause against ‘whitey’ while black culture continues it’s self combustion of destruction. Unfortunately, this garbage they call music has plagued all cultures in America.

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.

To: Matt Hatter
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.

Glad I’m not the only one old enough to rememvber that song.
Just heard it the other day, in fact. I could have lived without it.

How 'bout a reprise of Unchained Melody...
Time goes by so slowly, and time can mean so f*****g much...
Beautiful, eh?
