Cee Lo Green Memoir: 'The Voice' Judge Reportedly Penning Book

Cee Lo Green

First Posted: 02/29/2012 8:14 pm Updated: 02/29/2012 8:14 pm

Cee Lo Green is putting the pen to the page to chronicle his life and wisdom.

The "F*ck You" singer's still-untitled memoir may just transform the lives of its readers, according to the press release.

"Talk about art imitating life? Enter into the super-natural, the surreal, and the extraordinary that is [Cee Lo Green]," it reads, accord to Vulture. "Do you think this is by chance? CRAZY? FORGET YOU? After reading this book, there will be no doubt that I am meant to be CEELO GREEN A.K.A. 'everybody's brother' will make you a believer, not only in me, but also... yourself."

If his past work is any indication, the singer's book will be full of metaphors.

"I'd been recording for three years and I had over seventy songs, and I was ready to be heard," he told Esquire of his famously anthemic tune, "F*ck You," earlier this month. "But my label was just sitting on it, and it was very disheartening, not knowing if what I was doing was good enough. It seemed like I couldn't please anybody. So of course, figuratively, I was like, 'You don't you like me? Well f**k you!' It was very cathartic."

What do you think Green should title his memoir?

Sorry, but the words "life of wisdom" aren't the first that come to mind when I think of Cee Lo.

Perhaps the haters here would prefer a memoir by Edgar Winter or Yellowman...

He is one of my favorite singers now. Wasn't a fan until Gnarls Barkley, and then as a solo act, he blows me away. Very multi-talented guy, and I like to watch him on just about anything he is on.

I never knew this guy until recently when I watched the voice on hulu. He seems cool, although I don't understand the thing with the cat.

As Chris Hitchens said in a completely different context, "If we gave him an enema, we could bury him in a matchbox."

I completely agree ... but I think there's great chemistry between all four of the coaches.

Absolutely.

I certainly agree, too. The chemistry between the four judges on "The Voice" is entertaining and infectious, and Cee-Lo is a big reason why the show is becoming so popular. Even though he often doesn't seem to lobby for contestants as vigorously as does Adam or Blake, Cee-Lo's cool, laid back demeanor and sometimes flowery assessments of singing talent is what sways the contestant to come to his team. Cee-Lo has been a pleasant surprise as a judge/mentor on "The Voice", and he's not too shabby in the talent department himself.

So true. Last season I found myself really looking forward to some of his staging for his singers. I loved everything that he did with Vicci Martinez. She was awesome and he's a great showman.
