Cee Lo Rocks Out in St. Pete

From his fashion forward outfits to his catchy tunes, Cee Lo Green was welcomed with open arms at St. Pete's Mahaffey Theater on Wednesday night. The venue was crawling with Cee Lo fans awaiting his arrival to the stage.

Cee Lo received his first taste of fame with the southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob. As the youngest of the four members, Green had a lot of room to grow into his own artist. He did, and eventually formed Gnarls Barkley, a duo with fellow artist Danger Mouse.

The twosome didn't release their first official album until 2006 after the single "Crazy" topped charts all over the globe.

A solo album came when the single "F*** You" was leaked to YouTube. The track was an instant hit and registered more than two million hits in less than a week. Since its 2010 release, The Lady Killer has become a pop sensation, growing Cee Lo a sea of fans worldwide.

Cee Lo performed at the Mahaffey Theater on Wednesday night. Two opening acts prepped the crowd for his entrance. Finally, around 9:30 p.m. Cee Lo took the mic and never looked back.

Although he didn't have much of a wardrobe he is sometimes known for, Cee Lo still rocked it out in his sweat suit.

After about five songs, Cee Lo brought up his years as a rapper in the group Goodie Mob. No more than a minute later, the Goodie Mob crew showed up on stage to perform with Cee Lo. Fans got a surprise treat from the group, as they performed a slew of classic hip-hop tunes.

He put on a high energy show with songs from throughout his career. The singer wore a smile for about 80% of the show with the other 20% being dedicated to crooning the high notes.

Future plans for Cee Lo include a collaborative album with Jazze Pha called Happy Hour, as well as another rumored album with Gnarls Barkley.
