Kelly Clarkson Fights Record Label — Loses

By Evil Beet Gossip • on July 27, 2009

Kelly Clarkson has been fighting with her record label in an effort to stop the release of her single “Already Gone”. She co-wrote the lyrics against a trace provided by Ryan Tedder, a music producer. Turns out, Tedder gave the same track to Beyonce who used the music as the backdrop to her single “Halo”.

Clarkson says, “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 fought and fought”. 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.”

I’ve posted both tracks above. Which is better? I’m sure all the Evil Beet regulars know my vote.
