  We present {\it ab initio} LDA+DMFT results for the many-particle density of
states of $VO_{2}$ on the metallic side of the strongly first-order
($T$-driven) insulator-metal transition. In strong contrast to LDA predictions,
there is {\it no} remnant of even correlated Fermi liquid behavior in the
correlated metal. Excellent quantitative agreement with published photoemission
and X-ray absorption experiments is found in the metallic phase. We argue that
the absence of FL-quasiparticles provides a natural explanation for the
bad-metallic transport for $T > 340 K$. Based on this agreement, we propose
that the I-M transition in $VO_{2}$ is an orbital-selective Mott transition,
and point out the relevance of orbital resolved one-electron and optical
spectroscopy to resolve this outstanding issue.
