What do other media sudents think about;Cee lo Green's video Forget You ?

Forget you also known as duck you is by American singer song writer Cee Lo Green. This single is the first single from Cee lo’s third studio album The Lady Killer. At the 2011 Brit Awards Cee Lo won best international male for forget you.

How does it make you feel?
We feel that this video is all about money and how love only will work  for  The heartbreaker(the girl Cee Lo fancies)if  the boy she dates is rich also  it makes us feel  sorry for  Cee Lo as he jets rejected by The heartbreaker throughout all the years in his life. Also the way we see all the stages  in his life we get a inside view of how he is treated by The heartbreaker throughout  the years.
Is there any correlation between the lyrics and visuals?
When the lyrics  I guess the change in my pocket,Wasn’t enough i’m like” we are introduced to Cee Lo crush with a expensive car with added animated titles, so from the start there is a reference  to  money related to the  girl. Another  relationship between lyrics and visuals is  when young  Cee Lo sings “Yeah I’m sorry, I can’t afford a ferrari,,But that don’t mean I can’t get you there” he is walking and talking to the heartbreaker with  a  garbage truck toy. When he says “Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya” we see the backing singers fanning money in the hands.

Are there an references to any other media form?
There is a reference to expensive cars such as a Ferrari. The whole video has reference to money and how money makes a girl happy. There is also constant reference to money and fame throughout the whole video.

Do you think there is a reason to why Cee Lo Green made this video as he did?
He may have made this video because when he was a child he was bullied for a short period of time about his size but it all stopped when people got to know him.
