Kelly vs Beyonce

Kelly Clarkson's new single Already Gone bears an uncanny resemblance to Beyonce's Halo. Perhaps this is because both songs were co-written by One Republic's Ryan Tedder.

The American Idol star was so worried that people would think she copied Beyonce that she tried to stop her label RCA from releasing the single. However it seems the label were keen to cash in on the drama and released it anyway!

Kelly told listeners on CBS radio last week

"No one's gonna be sittin' at home, thinking, 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to.' No, they're just gonna be saying I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, 'I don't understand. Why would you do that?' "

Kelly maintains that she did not want to release the single out of respect for Beyonce. However producer Tedder has responded to Clarksons's claims by saying

"They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically and lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyoncé into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful and absurd."

With all this hype around the single, it looks like the label made a good move by deciding to release the single as it is getting lots of publicity!

What do you think, are the songs that similar??
