Kelly Clarkson -- I Didn't Steal From Beyonce!

Posted Jul 27th 2009 1:59AM by TMZ Staff

Kelly Clarkson is so worried that people are going to think she ripped off Beyonce's beats for her new single that Kelly's throwing her song's co-writer under the bus instead.


Clarkson is reportedly furious at her record label for releasing her new single "Already Gone" -- after the singer realized it has the exact same backing track as Beyonce's "Halo."

But according to CBCNews.ca, who actually spoke with Clarkson, the former "Idol" champ is blaming the whole thing on music producer Ryan Tedder -- who allegedly gave the same beat to Beyonce without informing Kelly. FYI -- Tedder is also the front man for the band OneRepublic.

Clarkson told the CBC, "No one's gonna be sittin' at home, thinking 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to ... no, they're just gonna be saying I ripped someone off."

10. They are different songs. Only that musical intro is the same. Who cares. It is not like MC Hammer did not user "Superfreak" or Vanilla Ice using "Under Presser" from Queen and David Bowie. This is a much less extreme incident though. The lyrics to their songs are completely different.

14. Listen to Endless Love by Leona Lewis after listening to those two. Sound familiar? Plus Ryan Tedder produced that one as well.
