Kelly Clarkson can’t catch a break when it comes to the people around her. Now the popular, talented, and out-spoken star is set to catch flack for something that wasn’t remotely her fault.
Her producer double dipped his backing track, without Kelly’s knowledge. Not only did he use it for Kelly’s ‘Already Gone,’ he also gave it to Beyonce for ‘Halo.’
Kelly knew that she’d possibly be perceived as a rip off artist, so she tried to keep her track off the radio. The song was released, though – despite her wishes.
Kelly Clarkson said she confronted her co-writer Ryan Tedder on the phone as soon as she heard ‘Halo’ on the radio. She was told that it was too late to make any changes to her record.
“No one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinking ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be saying I ripped someone off,” she told Canada’s CBC radio (via NY Post.)
RCA also decided to release the single ‘Almost Gone’ to radio stations as Kelly’s third single – although Kelly fought against it.
“I fought and fought,” she said. “In the end, they’re releasing it without my consent. 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 sh- – -y situation, but . . . you know, you learn,” Clarkson added.
Halo or Already Gone… Which do you prefer?
It seems like I like more contestants on American Idol this season than ever before. It oughta make each episode a little more nerve wrecking, especially the elimination shows.
heard – and, come on, I listen to music practically 24/7. She’s fresh, unique, and I think she’ll be there at the end – IF people keep in mind that it’s a singing competitition! You know how it goes, sometimes people tend to treat it as a popularity contest and just flood the studios with calls for their “guy” or “girl,” irregardless of who had the better night.
Lil Rounds has another one of the best voices in the competition, but something about the performance kept me from being overwhelmed. She’s still a favorite, but there was something not quite as good as some of the others. She looked stunning, no doubt, and sounded great – but, I don’t know. Maybe I expect perfection from her.
her why she did it and she kind of got an attitude – she was all like, “I don’t remember doing that.” If she goes back and watches her performances she’ll see that she did do that again and again. And again, and again… If it’s a good trick, by all means, keep pulling it out of the bag – but if it’s annoying (it is), throw it out.
I also see a lot of star potential with Matt Giraurd and Allison Iraheta. They have great, flawless voices and I love each one’s onstage presence and style.
incredible. It catches me off guard every single time. Each time she opens her mouth, it’s like WHOA! Where’d that husky voice come from?! She has a lot of power behind her voice and I’m anxious to see how it holds up. She’s like a baby Kelly Clarkson, and we all know how successful she’s been. (On a side note, I am SO excited about Kelly Clarkson’s new cd! She’s back in a big way and her critics had better get ready for a steady diet of crow.)
