Kelly Clarkson Ripped Off Beyonce's Song
Tweet
This is the biggest news in the music scene. Apparently, the newest song of Kelly Clarkson titled "Already Gone" has the same backing track of Beyonce's "Halo." I have heard both song back-to-back the other day and realized that is is very similar. No wonder Kelly Clarkson was very furious.According to the statement of Kelly Clarkson, it was the fault of the record producer Ryan Tedder. He by the way also co-wrote the song with Kelly Clarkson. Ryan Tedder who is the lead singer of OneRepublic allegedly also gave the same beat to Beyonce's "Halo."
If you will hear the lyrics though, it was very different. It just bothers Kelly that people might think she ripped off Beyonce's song.

Kelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted CD Review
Tweet
Kelly Clarkson returned in the music scene with a bang. Her new album, "All I Ever Wanted" stays top in the album charts for two weeks now and her current single, "My Life Would Suck Without You" is still on the top 10 songs of Billboards Hot 100 Single's Chart.Kelly's new album returned to her "Breakaway" sound—pop rock sound that we love. Her first single, "My Life Would Suck Without You" according to observers sounded like "Since U Been Gone." For me it doesn't sound alike and it's the right formula for her comeback. The song is very catchy and refreshing.
In "I Do Not Hook Up", the angsty Kelly surfaced. I like the beat of the song and the chorus. This song will make you sing the chorus. Speaking of angst, another song with a strong persona is “Whyyawannabringmedown.” The song is hard rock with the heavy electric guitar on the side! Still with a high beat is the song “Don't Let Me Stop You.” This song though sounded like her former song "Behind These Hazel Eyes.”
In "Cry", the emotional persona of Kelly surfaced. I love this song. This reminds me of the song "Because of You." It is very soulful and I love the way Kelly sang the high notes. This can be the right second single to be released. Another great emotional ballad is “If No One Will Listen.”
"All I Ever Wanted" was a nice song. It has a great dance beat to it. It is refreshing and I haven't heard Kelly with this kind of song. "If I Can't Have You" on the other hand is the ultimate dance track of Kelly's album. I just love this song. It is a dance song but there’s still the Kelly mark to it. Very angsty yet danceable.
"Already Gone" is the mellow ballad song from Kelly's new album. The song is nice especially if you want the mood of being cozy. It was quite dreamy for me. “Save You” is another slow song from “All I Ever Wanted” album. “I Want You” on the other hand is very bubbly song. This can be a great song for an animated film.
Here are the other songs from “All I Ever Wanted” album: Long Shot, Impossible and Ready.
This is definitely Kelly's year. Every track has its distinct sound and this album even has a dance track. Would you believe that? I am rating this album 8 out of 10. The 14 songs are all good and I hope this album and the songs will do great in Billboard Charts. My favorite tracks by the way are “If No One Will Listen” and “Cry.”

American Idol New Rules
Tweet
As I have mentioned in my other personal blog, I was out last night. I went to the IT show in Suntec City to check out some digital cameras. Because of that I wasn't able to watch the elimination round of American Idol for the Top 13 round.This evening I was able to watch it on my laptop. Thanks to the wonders of the Internet. Jorge Nunez and Jasmine Murray went home this Michael Jackson week. Too bad, Michael Jackson did not appear or mentor the contestants. That would boost low his career.
Super ego singer Kanye West performed as well as Kelly Clarkson. Haha, I skipped Kanye's performance. It was all synthesized anyway. Kelly Clarkson's appearance in Idol after nine years look horrible. She looked scared to the judges and was a bit tensed. She didn't even have eye contact with the judges. I'm just curious on what's going on her head. Speaking of Kelly Clarkson, Ryan Seacrest mentioned that every week winners of the past seasons will guest the show. I can't wait for Carrie Underwood and Fantasia's guesting.
And have you heard the new bye bye song of this season? It's Carrie Underwood this time with her rendition to Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home." I have to listen again to that song. I hope it will be a hit like Daniel Powter's "Bad Day."
Before I forget, there's a new rule in American Idol. The management of American Idol have decided to give a pass to a contestant if he or she was on the bottom two. The judges should have an unanimous vote if they want to save him or her. This pass can only be used once on every contestant until the Top 5. That way, there would be no Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry contestants to say goodbye early on the show. Nice new rule for the deserving contestants.
