Kelly Clarkson’s latest single “Already Gone” is a decent one, but it sounds too similar to Beyonce’s hit “Halo.” Still, the original American Idol claims it’s not her fault.
In a weekend interview with Canada’s CBC radio network, Clarkson revealed that she had been trying to keep the song, which she co-wrote with songwriter Ryan Tedder, from being released after it sounded very similar to another song Tedder co-wrote, Beyonce’s “Halo.”
Clarkson said didn’t hear the other songstress’s version until the new album “All I Ever Wanted.” But she knew immediately that the same backing track was used, she claims.
Outraged, Clarkson said she confronted her co-writer on the phone, “I don’t understand. Why would you do that?
“No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinking ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to,’” she recalled saying. “No, they’re just gonna be saying I ripped someone off.”
“I fought and fought” to stop it, she says, but “in the end, they’re releasing it without my consent,”
Clarkson added, “It sucks, but it’s one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It’s kind of a shitty situation, but . . . you know, you learn.”
Check out the song below (I actually like her version, but the timing does suck):
