Barry Manilow: Cee Lo’s ‘Fu** You’ Made Grammys Difficult To Watch

Barry Manilow may like Cee Lo Green’s hit song ‘Fu** You’ musically, but he tells the Daily Mail that he’s not down with the words expressed in the controversial tune. “That’s why the Grammy’s were so difficult to watch this year,” the 67-year-old said. “I’m all for young people doing their thing. But for an old guy who cares about George Gershwin to be listening to a No 1 song called ‘Fu** You’? That was really hard. Don’t get me wrong: it’s the catchiest song I’ve heard in years. It could almost be an old Al Green or Detroit Spinners track, and that’s my absolute favorite kind of pop. Yet the way they got attention for it was by using the F-word? Call me old-fashioned, but I really wish they hadn’t.”
