Most singers would enjoy being compared to Beyoncé, but not Kelly Clarkson. The original American Idol is being accused of ripping off one of Beyoncé's hits!
Kelly's newly released single, "Already Gone," is drawing unwanted attention from bloggers who claim the tune sounds remarkably similar to Beyoncé's "Halo."
According to Kelly, the blame should be placed on Ryan Tedder, the One Republic front man who co-wrote "Already Gone."
"No one's going to be sitting at home thinking, 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyoncé and Kelly the same track to write to,'" Kelly told Canada's CBC Radio. "No they're just going to be saying I ripped someone off."
Kelly says she tried to convince her record label not to release "Already Gone" as her next single, but she was unsuccessful.
"In the end, they're releasing it without my consent," she says. "It sucks, but it's one of those things I have no control over."
