I'm sure you've all heard by now, Kelly Clarkson's new single, "Already Gone", is drawing all sorts of reactions -- but not in a positive way. People are comparing the new track to Beyonce's Halo."
Kelly recognizes that similarity and although she fought with her record label to not release it, they did anyway. Further, she claims, the blame should be placed on Ryan Tedder, the One Republic front man who co-wrote "Already Gone."
"No one's going to be sitting at home thinking, 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to,'" Kelly told Canada's CBC Radio. "No they're just going to be saying I ripped someone off."
Kelly says she tried to convince her record label not to release "Already Gone" as her next single, but she was unsuccessful.
"In the end, they're releasing it without my consent," she says. "It sucks, but it's one of those things I have no control over."
Another interesting tidbit: "Already Gone" was written before "Halo" and "Halo" was originally intended for Leona Lewis, then given to Beyonce and arranged to sound similar to "Already Gone", after Beyoncè heard the song before its release.
I don't see why this is a big deal? This happens in the industry much more than people think. beyonce doesn't write all her hits, no matter how hard she tries to convince all us music goers. besides, doesn't beyonce steal from everybody around her anyway? Still haven't gotten over that robot suit get-up she emerged from during her last world tour (during Get me Bodied) which she clearly got from Kylie Minogue's tour back in 2001.
