Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" vs "Beyoncé's "Halo"
"Already Gone" is a song performed by American singer–songwriter Kelly Clarkson from her 2009 album, All I Ever Wanted.
The song was released as the album's third single in August 2009. "Already Gone" is a soft rock ballad with R&B and classical music influences.
"Halo" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles for her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce.
Columbia Records released the song, the album's fourth single, to mainstream radio in the United States on January 20, 2009, and to international markets from February 20. "Halo" is a contemporary downtempo power ballad that features an R&B and pop production. It has elements of gospel and soul music.
Controversy
The production and release of "Already Gone" has been surrounded in controversy. Clarkson claimed that Tedder re-used the musical arrangement on the 2008 Beyoncé Knowles song "Halo", and stated that the public would incorrectly assume that she had stolen it; Ryan Tedder declared the accusations hurtful and false. After failing to prevent the song from being included on All I Ever Wanted because the tracklisting had already been finalized and the album was already being pressed, Clarkson then voiced her anger towards her record company bosses for subsequently deciding to release it as a single.
Plz this is a mess!!! I dont want a stan war!!! close the thread plz!
at a simple thread like this being "reported". This is becoming less funny.
Have some respect for my time here. I've been doing lots of threads like this. Unlike half of ATRL, I don't care about "stan wars". It's a simple game. People just have to vote and say what song they prefer regardless all the controversy. I think the thread is very clear. I don't even stan for any of these singers.
Reporting a thread of mine is just for pure hate since there's nothing wrong with it. I think the moderators will see that, eventually.

I've always disagreed with Kelly's feelings about these songs. There are vague similarities but I don't hear anything actually being reused. But anyway, I like Already Gone more. There is something so beautiful yet haunting about it.
