CeeLo Green is an entertainer. It’s important to keep that in mind when watching this. It’s more about entertainment of the most over the top variety than it is a concert or a real music experience. There are no musicians on the stage and I’m guessing all the music is canned. This is performance entertainment. With that in mind, it runs a gamut of musical styles. Green’s vocals are always adequate and sometimes pretty awesome. I love it when he gets into soulful rocking territory with his voice. At times Prince would be a fairly valid reference point. In terms of the show, this includes lots of costumes and stage gimmicks. It could be considered over the top, but really it’s good Vegas fun. I don’t think you could call this a great concert (or even a concert, really). You can, however, call it a great show. The video and audio are both top notch here. This is a classy production all the way around.
