Kelly Clarkson Vs. Beyonce

Here is the video for Kelly Clarkson's new single "Already Gone." I personally think it is a beautiful song with touching lyrics. However, there is some controversy where people claim Clarkson stole the song from Beyonce. And while "Halo" does sound like "Already Gone," it's because the same (lazy) person produced both songs and Beyonce's was released first. I'd hate for this to destroy the potential success of Clarkson's song especially since I think it's better done than "Halo," but in an overrated world where Beyonce is treated like she's the only person in the universe who can actually sing, perhaps Clarkson is in a bit of trouble. Here's the link to Beyonce's "Halo" for comparison.



Ryan Tedder (of One Republic) produced both Clarkson's and Beyonce's song. What I've been hearing is that he worked with Clarkson first and she had written her song before he worked with Beyonce. Rumor also has it that Clarkson later tried to stop the release of the song, but couldn't.



Kelly Clarkson performs an alternative version of the song on the David Letterman show.
