It’s not kell’s fault Ryan tedder is the one that composed both songs !!! and in my oppinion Already gone is WAYYY BETTER THAN HALO !!!!!

Kelly is a right bitch for even mentioning anything about this.
Now in all of this its not Kelly or Beyonce who look the bad guys but Ryan. People get over it, yes they have a bit of similarity but only music wise. In meaning they are two completely different songs so people should respect that. Ryan IMO unlike some is the freshest and actual talented singer/songwriter out there at da moment!
Phew-thats for Ryan and One Republic!
P.s. I love Already Gone and Halo and gotta say HATS OFF TO RYAN!

For a song to “sound the same”, it would have to have very similiar MUSIC. You have to compare the songs note-for-note, not just whether there are handclaps, etc… or a similar arrangement. Since the same writer wrote the songs, it would be expected to have a similar style. Otherwise, one could argue that all of the work Timbaland does producing songs for various artists (regardless of who wrote them) “sound the same” because of what he brings to the production process is similar in vein, and therefore something of a “signature” sound that we equate with him. I mean, regardless of the song and who wrote it, you know a Pet Shop Boys production when you hear one. And conversely, you can spot a Prince, Bee Gee’s, or Carlos Santana song regardless who is singing it. So, unless someone pulls out the sheet music and compares them, it’s stupid to argue the question. Their respective producers may have arranged them similarly, simply based upon popular style, but if the notes are different, then they are different songs. I think it just goes to show how many people are actually very ignorant about the music they listen to.

@ari.. i don’t know where you heard kelly live, but I’ve def heard her & she is amazing. She’s one of the few singers these days who can actually SING, & I think its totally refreshing.

ps. who cares if they’re the same? Halo makes me want to kill myself with a dull blade, and if Kelly can improve upon THAT in any degree I’ll take it.

@CG13 — the inclusion of Miley Cyrus in “Divas” 09 immediately makes the show a piece of crap. Aretha Franklin was once a VH1 Diva, Miley is a joke.

They’re very similar, but Kelly’s version is way better. I’m so excited for her to perform in the VH1 Divas show on September 17th! She’s performing with Adele, Miley Cyrus, and Leona Lewis, all AMAZING SINGERS. If you love Kelly like I do, go to divastories.vh1.com and submit a story about how Kelly inspires you. GO KELLY

I dunno, I don’t really hear it, maybe I’m silly! I hear One Republic, who I love, and probably the reason I love both of these so much! I think they have very different feels, one R&B-ish, and one more pop-y.

These two songs sound so much the same you can switch back and forth seamlessly after each chorus! Of course, different people are going to put different spins on their recordings, but the basic music is the same. The songwriter should be sued, and I don’t blame Kelly for complaining. What a jerk!!!

lmao. I like Beyonce’s better anyway. She is a MUCH better vocalist. And Kelly sucks live.

Kelly has it in her to write her own material … screw her record company. Now that she made up with her record company and did this album to please them, she needs to do her own thing. At some point you have to break out of the box.

This makes me realise how incestuous the music industry is … and the lack of originality. What happened to singer songwriters? Kelly’s latest CD sounds so overproduced … It’s getting hard to tell who is singing – they all sound the same.

Ouch! So similar!

By: Stephanie

Stephanie — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:11:54 +0000

Those are so similar, how can anyone disagree?

and I am the only person I know that has noticed the similarities between Rehab by Rihanna and What Goes Around by Justin Timberlake (both written by jt)…they are the same song! Sing the lyrics to one to the melody of the other and it fits perfectly. Maybe its just me :)

Beyonce for the win, such the better song, anytime I hear Kelly Clarkson it’s like water-going-down-the-bathtub-drain-long, unwavering vocals with some tacky beat, I used to like her back when, but I haven’t heard a good single yet from her. I mean and compare her to Beyonce, you’re asking to lose. :)

Whether the songs are alike or not, Kelly’s version is way better. I’ve always hated the song “Halo,” but “Already Gone” is amazing. Besides the fact Kelly has a much better voice. There is really no comparison here.

Beyonce, who i don’t really admire in anyway. She is talented & all, but i can see through her. Some songs are great & catchy, but otherwise the usual stuff to expect to Beyonce. She & her father are just one of those, get ya name on this song & producing credit – you’ll get extra dough.

Halo was written by Tedder. He offered it to Leona lewis or had her in mind. It’s not as if he went into the studio with Beyonce and they came out creating Halo. Once Beyonce got offered it, OF CORSE she changed a few words to get credit.
—
IMO i believe Kelly’s is better. Halo will do better than Already Gone cause of Pop & Urban markets. But Already Gone, the vocals are just out of this world. I think it is more of those, gives you goosebumps kinda song. BUT Halo is good, i just like the slow rhythm beat.
—
Tedder i think is thriving off the success of Bleeding Love. I mean he did produce it but co-wrote with Jessy McCartney of all people. I dont know if Jesse co-produced or not. But since that song, a lot of other songs are too similar to that. I mean Battlefield is an awesome song. Better than Halo – but it has such similarity to the drums in bleeding love. He seems to have hit a creative block and is just taking elements from all his songs. He may profess in that field of genre but still, do something different! Especially when it comes to this, more embarassng for the producer than the artist. Kelly has nothing to worry bout cause she has the voice, the attitude and its KELLY!
—
Beyonce will prob speak of it somehow. She can’t keep her mouth shut sometimes… I mean, she even had the guts to say her family were a more upper class version of the Jacksons. I mean, its only HER in the family that is successful. Her sister just thrills off defending shit ppl say bout Beyonce and talking bout her but then having a bitch that ppl always mention Beyonce around her. B – open wide, you will NEVER have the career of ANY Jackson. Janet & Michael are mountains ahead of you girl.

I pre-ordered Kelly’s CD, so as soon it came out, I listened to it through. When “Already Gone” first came on, I was like “WTF?!”–because I had been listening to “I Am… Sasha Fierce” a bunch (It had come out not long before.). I still get thrown off when I hear them; never sure which one it’s gonna be. Kelly is my favorite singer, but I love Beyonce too (Just saw her in Auburn Hills! And I’m about to see Kelly in less than a month!). I just wish them both success… as long as neither of them comes out looking like a bad guy, I’m okay. It’s just a sharty situation.

@gokarm — You’re mentally incapacitated if you think Ryan Tedder is “a talentless hack.” That man has more talent in his pinky finger than most “artists” could only dream of having.
@Whitney, I want to know where you read/heard that Ryan said “Halo” was his best work to date? He has said in MULTIPLE interviews that 2 songs he wrote for Kelly Clarkson’s recent album are his best to date. I’ll admit that this whole deal seems shady, but we don’t know what really happened. All we know is that Kelly Clarkson is upset that 2 different songs written & produced by the same person sound similiar. I spy an asshole, and it isn’t Ryan Tedder………

This is disgusting. It’s absolutely the same chord progressions, and, with an exception of different lyrics, and varied embellishments by the artists, the same melody. Obviously it’s not Beyonce’s or Kelly’s fault….it’s this little crook’s lack of creativity and desire for money. What a snake. I think Beyonce and Kelly should team up, sue for the rights, RE-write the song as a duet and go for an award! They’re both too talented for this crap.

I would be pissed to…thinking you have a great song and someone else has one similar. Its like going somewherre and wearing the same print but different style shirt. I love both tho!!

Is it weird that I like both songs better when they’re played together?

I feel bad for Kelly. She looks bad just because her album was released a few months later. I like Kelly’s version, but I don’t think it’s going to be as big as Halo (just because of the release date).

Too many similarities to be a coincidence. When I first heard Kelly’s song on the radio, I thought it was Halo until the lyrics kicked in. I prefer Kelly’s song over Beyonce’s.
