Kelly Clarkson On Good Morning America

With the controversy surrounding Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Already Gone’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’, Kelly performed an acoustic version with a different arrangement on Good Morning America this morning and we LOVED it! She truly is an incredible singer. Now, if only she would hire a new stylist…

Clarkson Says She Didn’t Copy Beyoncé

By now we’ve all heard the similarities between Kelly Clarkson’s latest single ‘Already Gone’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Halo’, but which song actually came first? And, as for the similarities, it looks like all fingers are pointing to songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder of One Republic.

Clarkson is speaking out and says, “Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else. He’s from Oklahoma, I’m from Texas; we got along really well and had some of the same influences. We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. It was all fine and dandy. I’d never heard of a song called Halo. Her album came out when my album was already being printed. No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinkin’ ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be sayin I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’”

Clarkson claims she did not want her label to release ‘Already Gone’ as a single, but she has no say in what they choose to do.

According to one rumor, Beyoncé heard Clarkson’s demo of ‘Already Gone’ and demanded that Ryan Tedder produce a similar song for her and release it immediately before Kelly could release her song.

Tisk Tisk…
