Every time I hear Kelly Clarkson's latest song, "Already Gone," I get a little disappointed because I really enjoy singing along to songs and especially enjoy it if I know the words. But, with this song I constantly let down myself because I can never seem to remember that this particular song is not in fact Beyoncé's "Halo." Though, it is nearly exactly the same. I smell bleach blond hair and an early 80s pop idol. Drum roll: Vanilla Ice/Queen/David Bowie debacle of the century.
Every single time I hear that Clarkson cock up I gear myself up for the wrong words. Every. Single. Time.
Whomp, whomp, whomp.
But, seriously. This is not OK. But, I guess that's what pop singers get for not checking to see if their music writers are double-booked, which was the case here. What sucks more though, is Beyoncé's song is clearly superior to Clarkson's (even though it's still good). That's another fact for you.
Listen here:
Beyoncé's "Halo"
Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone"
They were written by the same person too. He got sued by the record company for plagiarizing himself. Read it on Perez
ReplyDeleteI read it on The Huffington Post. Nice.
