Cee Lo Green
Jan. 2nd, 2012 10:38 pmI've been a bit leery of Cee Lo Green since the homophobic incident so when Carson Daly said he was coming up on their New Year's Eve show I switched the channel. Out of nostalgia and having liked New Year's Eve so well, I watched Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark.
My best friend kept watching Carson Daly and soon, I caught his post on Facebook.
Cee Lo Green had changed the lyrics to Imagine.

You don't just change songs on live television because you feel like it. Yes, we have two versions of "Candle in the Wind" and I prefer the original but Elton John wrote both, he has the power to change his own work.
Cee Lo Green didn't write "Imagine". He doesn't have that power. It's not right. It's like if Peter Jackson made the Ents go on about how industry was good and that progress was more important than nature, completely reverses the original intent.
