Cee-Lo Green - "F*ck You" (Live on Letterman) - HD

[karthadastim]

sorry but censorship ruins songs. if you're fucking offended by the word so badly don't listen to it. just lock yourself in a room and cover your ears and sing hymns all day.

[Saybak1]

Crazy ist wohl das einzige lied was du gut hin bekommen hast wie kann man solch ein scheiße Singen

[Juggalegz82]

I just thought you should know.....Nugga

She just a dirty hoe!

[HelloNeighbor99]

He's talented. 

[MattMonk]

What a voice.

[CoffeeAddictNL]

.... it is okay to hate, but making love (the thing that fucking is derived from) is wrong... Why not censor 'hate' and let the love shine through? Strange prudish americans...

[BleedingKeys56]

Wow! this song is brilliance, just like hot chocolate every morning! :D

Anyway, if ya'll want to see a piano cover with drum beats that sounds like this one check it out! :)

/watch?v=7hcNVoZ-s8U

Notes coming soon

[26phanthom]

[dmajcen1980]

Fuck you americans! Not letting an artist do his shit! FUCK YOU!

[karlbolle]

Girls can't play instruments.

[Tennisman81]

[awesomechic99100]

[JayDrummerBoy]

[szorin13]

censorship is such horseshit how ridiculous is it that the government will lose their shit over a few words. what hopeless pussies fuck them.

[Gamer1988Pro]

OH COMEON.. FUCK YOU DIPSHIT CENSORING

[Prometheus1st]

I got a WOODIE watching that girl to his right. She is hot + can play.

[mallymonkey]

I love this guy, when he sings...it really is live and he's good too :-)

I lvoe the all female band...cool

[boofsmom436]

@mallymonkey Very Robert Palmer.

[Franciumflourine]

what the fuck was the point...

[xtremefleshmakeover]

they all match

[thatissomeBS]

What I would like to do: slip my big self in place of Mr. Green, and take his band to the dressing room and teach them what the phrase FUCK YOU means.

[basboss2]

At least Sing "freak you" or "forget you"

[theElemDragon]

Yea.... isn't the FCC just *insert silence here* awesome?

Love George Carlin's skit on the FCC.

[Roisia]

@starstruck2501 For real! They're all over the place bouncing! lol

[a7xwarrior5]

Love how they censor shit and fuck but not nigga.

[Bowskenarts]

fuck censorship.

[finbeard]

his keyboard player is FINE AS HELL.

[sihkduV]

guitarist is HOT!! O_o

[cledus21]

Cee Lo is badass and his band is fuckin awesome!!!!!! I love it

[PersonalJesus348]

I love that his band is all female. More power to you Cee Lo.

[MONOPOLY35]

They could have thrown in the bleepinator throughout the song. It would have been funny and unique. I see you driving around town with the girl I love and I'm like, BLEEP you, etc.

[lukejc1]

He could have at least done the forget you version of the song. This censoring sounds like crap. unlistenable

[xtazxvegasx]

@lukejc1

i disagree.

as a musician, i would rather be censored then dumb my shit down.

[ShaneHagan]

Check out my version of this song! :-)

[errolroug]

the drummer messed up a bit and was tite for the rest of the song

[yellowomgdiva]

Love dis song

[THEBOMB742]

Cee lo wears some pretty awesoe suits ha ha ha.

[YamiRyan4509]

Couldn't he have just said "Forget you" like the radio version so we could at least hear him?

[rockersjoint69]

he cant say fuk u...

[elflauta1]

Bad mixing on this one. Way too much guitar!

[SteelCyclone3]

this guy Cee Lo is a pimp! in all his live performances, he has females on the instruments. SWAG!

[rosinha190402]

fuderoso....amo cee-loo-green.....



[MONOPOLY35]

They could have just bleeped it out. That would have been funny!

[TheSalvador201]

only explicit words he said ass not fuck you or shit

[sltdrmfes]

if he don't say the fuck, why not say the forget you?=.=

[sihkduV]

guitarist..im sorry but..HOLY FUCK....SMOKING STUNNING!!!

[kakeselger]

oh Come On! fucks sake. yes FUCKs sake, ain't this some shit

[andi5503]

das man immer noch kein fuck you oder shit sagen darf in america was is das dann für ein sinnloses gesinge meine güte ^^

[purrfectlymadie]

She completly screwed up

[mstrpth287]

Yeah she messed up, however the girl on keys is hot

[GroovinMWC]

Did anyone else hear the drummer fuck up at 1:56 or am i just trippin??!!

[weirdgal12]

@GroovinMWC haha i think she did! either that or im trippin too lmao

[CarloLing]

@GroovinMWC yup. her crash came in too late. all good though. they picked up well

[Raajur]

Who's up that late to be offended by "fuck you" anyway?

[domenicostefano]

Hahahaha they censored it xD what a shame, so...... FUCK YOUUUU!!!!!

[Cokebottle500]

What the fuck is this? What a disgrace to writing an amazing song

[beatleruby]

this song should be called im a fat fuck

[jimon82262]

This is absurd with "fuck you" deleted

[AdamWest100]

I don't understand why would they invite him to perform a song called "Fuck You" and then censor it. Its and oxymoron. Ain't that some shit.

[btowndawgz2]

Fucking liberals just had to have the FCC ruin a great song...

[doctorgonzo024]

@btowndawgz2 what does politics have to with this, just enjoy the song you tool.

[kmanais]

@juliocesar there is no point trying to argue a point that will never change. No has one will true understand unless you are black and someone used that towards you in a negative way. Its the world we live you. where it is okay to say nigger/nigga or red neck/ cracker

[kmanais]

@dj that is so true, but it still not right. I guess that the world we live in.

[21corn]

this ispointless without the words

why not say "Fudge You!" - it sounds more like the original, is actually dirtier and is stronger than Forget You

[sbamkmfdmdfmk]

I think having them censor the f-bombs makes it even better than pussifying with "Forget"

[Icewin6]

dam the girl on the piano is hot as hell

[GaSs34]

don't understand how they let him sing it but censored it afterwards. he could've sung the 'forget you' version and it wouldn't have been such a shitty performance...

[kmanais]

@ kdlmaui I hope you do the same.

[kmanais]

@ tornadomad So I guess you can't speak freely on you tube without people attacking your comments. Well I guess that is your style, it not mines. Nigger is defined as “a black person, a member of any dark skinned people, a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible people, inferior, ignorant, etc.” While nigga, on the other hand, is defined as “an extremely offensive name for a Black person; only a Black can call a Black a nigga.” The bottom line is Nigger is what nigga is.

[kdlmaui]

@kmanais .Fuck You 

[allstars617]

this is dumb censored

[smilzo87]

i really adore this man

[gonzo77ffm]

USA has no shame on one side it is forbidden to say fuck you on tv and on the other side Guantanamo is still going on without any legal national, international or human right! Fuck you

[yeosch25i]

@gonzo77ffm Whats Your Point?

[MrBoycat101]

@gonzo77ffm whats gitmo have to do with censorship?

[minimcewen]

That's funny...

[kmanais]

i guess nigga is okay to say, but you just can't say fuck you. Ain't that some shit.

[jamesdarnel]

@kmanais aint THAT some sh-

[tornadomad]

@kmanais Nigga isn't a bad word, dumb fuck. Nigger is a bad word.

[tornadomad]

@Cralfinsamhiemnater "Nigga" has been culturally accepted, whereas "nigger" is still considered racist. 80% of the Black kids at my school are fine with me saying "nigga" but if I came out and was like "What up, you three-toed nigger" I would get jumped by 6 Black guys.

[emskimofo]

@tornadomad does not the fact that nigga, stemming from the word nigger, obviously mean it has derogatory meaning. people who say there is a difference are just being purposefully ignorant. i agree that it has been culturally accepted, but i'm sure if you spoke to the elders of the black community they would not agree in the use of this word in any way, shape or form. black people took the word on themselves only to desensitize its use.

[emskimofo]

@tornadomad genuine question - how do you make sure you dont get jumped at school? accentuate the A in NiggAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, making sure its not heard as NiggERRRRRRRRRR?

i just dont get why anyone would want to use a word that has such negative connotations. i'm not having a go, just enjoy the debate.

[tornadomad]

@emskimofo Nigga sounds a lot different than nigger

[baenval]

@kmanais hahahahaha



[JPPraterCO08]

@kmanais if the people 'offended' by the word can use it without getting actually offended (unless the person isnt black) then yeah, dont worry about cutting it.

[dj]

@kmanais black people like to make up their own rules to compensate for the many years of suffering. It's so stupid. Racism will never die because it'll always be "justified".

[juliocesar24]

@kmanais nigga is a description, fuck you is an obscene phrase.

[alphakid42]

This is a puritain country. That means we cannot show naked bodies or use 4-letter words to show an honest emotion (as in this song). We CAN show endless gun violence on TV, use scantelly-clad women to sell cars, and even bomb innocent people with drones when we want their oil or policy compliance, but the words "Fuck You" on TV will forever damage our children! This country has such promise, but freedom of speech and political discourse ain't among our strengths. FUCKing crazy, right?

[rwoods2k]

@kmanais oh shit that made me laugh....

[vicious6667]

@kmanais "nigga" is only ok to say if you are african-american descent cuz its a "black thang"! Us white folks arent allowed to use that word! lol

[crazyondaime]

@kmanais what's the big deal?people say fuck all the time.and besides,it's just a word.

[Diego031086]

SHIIIIT FUUUCK xq lo censuran?

[DrivenBlack]

thats guitarist is sooo hawt

[zyesa]

Haha they bleep fuck and then leave in nigger? i didnt know you could say that.

[hezokuai]

WOW Letterman's people missed it, at 1:00 and again at 2:00 they say "She's a gold digger, just thought you should know -N-bomb- " They got that one through!

[PeeedroNL]

im in love with the keyboard chick

[1rewd1]

@PeeedroNL

She does bounce nicely, doesn't she.

[theLightHouseLady24]

models? its called makup artists, wardrobe , & stylists. you gotta look good on tv?movies. And yes they have talent. 

[theLightHouseLady24]

[theLightHouseLady24]

models? its called makup artists, wardrobe , & stylists. you gotta look good on tv?movies. And yes they have talent.

[ChuckNorrisWilIFindU]

He has done them all...

[radiokilla53]

the audience know the song

[Kill9533224]

aint that some (aint that some)

[worzelhund]

missing the fu that shapes the whole song... sounds castrated

[Glendacunt]

Also, I'm totally lost as to why the cutey with the Strat is playing through a FULL fucking Mesa Triple Rec Stack or something. I mean...that's silly.

[44joints]

@Glendacunt ...... stay lost then!!

[Glendacunt]

I bet this was more fun to perform in Europe.

[DWdrums25]

@$#% censorship!

[alyse1969]

how come they can keep the word "nigger" but not "fuck"?? the former is far more offensive. classic hypocrisy of the american media.

[Pyromancer32087]

@alyse1969 i was thinking that exact same thing.

[abenes06]

thumbs up if you know that Bruno Mars wrote this song:)

[GroovyColouredLove]

FUCK YOU CENSORSHIP!

[brandonvass1002]

Got some soul to it .. Unlike 95% of music these days

[1rewd1]

... life in the USA where we can't handle words.

Go Jools Holland!

[mmazz414]

thee best band in the world...

[StarrSoccer]

coza asy? lol ray rules!

[glizglizgliz]

@aligboyakasha: do you know how to play the bass?...coz i think that bass player is really playing the bass..i think ur wrong.

[1rewd1]

@glizglizgliz

They are playing for real here. They are simply very tight and well mixed.

[thesituation0o0]

FUCK YOU FCC! thats all i have to say cause cee cant say FUCK! with FUCKING PRIDE!

[SuperBinibini]

ha ha ha! thats funny!

[jameskim0517]

Cee Lo looks like a black cherry

[cunhacaldeira]

Yeah censor f*ck... Kids nowadays don´t use that word... NOT AT ALL! Are we living in 2011 or 1950????

[GroovyColouredLove]

@cunhacaldeira

1950? Probably not be a good year to compare to horrible year.... 2011 is more likely like the medieval times than anything else

[slimtom0618]

he cant hit the high note in any live performances kinda disappointed... after 3:10

[virgoptrex]

OMG when Fender Telecasters came in 50s and 60s.....they played that kind of guitar.....Thats distinct Fenders sound....No doubt I knew that on recording when I hear this on radio for the first time......no other guitar produce that.....Gibsons, Fenders and Ibanez are nice guitars!

[asianrique]

He is a fucking pimp.

[Taanaty]

this song isnt complete without "fuck you"

[jonas5lover]

@Taanaty Totally

[crmcwrght]

@Taanaty unfortunately the american shows censor it. search ''cee lo green - fuck you Jools Holland'' and you'll be in business

[911urded]

@Taanaty or shit haha

[RedWarFans]

@Taanaty you feel like smthing is missing xD

[minhhan]

i've so much fun

[Happyfer]

I must say "FUCK American Censorers" What's wrong in the USA? This is a Late Night Show... And don't tell me americans can't hear a "fuck you" in a song.... it's so annoying it seems like they live in a country with a dictator or something like that. Don't get me wrong, I love the USA but I can't believe this things keep happening.... they have to change this stupid things.. Europe is so much tolerant and mature with this "silly" things

[J88Wolf]

@Happyfer Just be patient, remember back in the day when a woman couldn't even show her belly button on TV?! The times are just SLOWLY changing. :)

[RogueCow]

OMG IT SAYS NIGGA!>!>!>!?!?!?! lol, i thought it was "thought u should know better" hahahahaa

[humboldtus]

This should have won song/record of the year, not some Nashville country pop fluff that no one will remember a year from now.

[hgheis1]

Does anyone know who the female playing the DW drums is....????? She is very good.......!!!!!!!1

[brodestar93]

@hgheis1 looks like sheila E. she use to play drums with prince back in the day and she had that hit glamorous life... i could be wrong though.

[brodestar93]

@brodestar93 actually its probably not her at all did you see that mistake at 1.56 she dun goofed anyway shes a female gospel type drummer if its not sheila E

[indosocialista]

@brodestar93 She cannot be Sheila because Sheila is 53 y.o. She is Brittany Brooks.

That all girls band called Scarlet Fever. The members are Brittany Brooks (drums), Regina Zernay Roberts (bass guitar, Moog synthesizer), Theresa Flaminio (keyboards, background vocals) and Sharon Aguilar (lead guitar, violin).

[brodestar93]

@indosocialista Thanks man

[indosocialista]

@brodestar93 Pleasure man

[rickslate]

Cee-lo looks like worlds biggest midget

[hppyguy335604]

lol what a fucking joke... as for the censors...fuck you...as for people not being able to take fuck you...well fuck you... oh and Cee-Lo nice shit...Robert Palmer eat your heart out.

[hppyguy335604]

robert palmer eat your heart out...and what the fuck is up with amercians censoring fuck you?

[lapeache]

@hppyguy335604 Umm, Robert Palmer died seven years ago. Just sayin'...

[jaderrw]

Why they fucking asking him to sing if they are going go censor him? Around 20% of the song was censored.

[southerndandy89]

lmao dave dosent go near the girls

[Gamed92]

lol..i really liked the dance move he made on 0:32

[chrisboy123]

one of the rare recording artists that sings better live! amazing! ledge!

[mayo550]

love this song! I did an acoustic cover of it on my channel :)

[Silver26J]

Damn censorship. America doesn't seem to mind showing graphic violence on TV, but if you say fuck they lose their minds...

[surfer53]

@Silver26J That's why you've never seen the Canadian hit mockumentary Trailer Park Boys. That and the drug references.

[wazdz]

why do they censor when we all just fill the words in the words in our heads

[uncoverbrother]

would much rather him sing "forget you". very disconcerting to hear his vocal going in and out like that.

[ttrus01]

that bass player has a look on her face like she wants to kill someone, or boil some bunnies..

[ruslanio]

This guy sounds exactly the same as on the record. Truly talented.

[keyhead101]

thumbs up for all female band!

[Articorse]

Fuck censorship. And fuck kids-gloves political correctness. Our children won't become delinquents if they hear words like fuck, shit, etc.

[MrModwar]

the song sucks when he cant sing fuck...

[markusjj85]

I think it's funny that his band pretend to sings the background harmonies when it's obviously a back track.

[rickslate]

@markusjj85 I don't think the're even playing the instruments you hear

[ss04to06]

I don't understand!? Why not sing "Forget You" or at least "FU" instead and why isn't "n*gga" censored? Crappy censoring here.

[pqboi]

@ss04to06 why is negro not censored? just saying.

[RobinScott93]

Doesn't the US have something like the "watershed" which we have the in the UK? After a certain time, any swearing is acceptable on TV. Surely there must be something like this in the US?
