Welcome to the site and thanks for the comment, Charles. You have to listen to the backing track. They are the same, but for one or two rearranged notes. The feel of Battlefield is more on par with Halo, sure. It’s the whole hip hop balled thing.

After listening to both tracks, they really don’t sound that much alike to me. A bit similar, yes, but not so much to have caused a lot of controversy, In fact, I think that another “Idol” alum, Jordin Spark’s song, “Battlefield” is even more similar. Evertime I hear it, I think of “Halo”, and have wondered if they were written and/or produced by the same person. By the way, I really like all three songs.

Welcome to the site Brian and thanks for leaving a comment. That’s an interesting insight and you seem to be right. Kelly was perhaps damned if she did and damned if she didn’t!

I read the full article, and I’d also like to point out that Kelly said she fought her label NOT to release it out of respect for Beyonce.

She has a potential huge hit on her hands with this one, and writing credits, yet she was willing to give it up out of respect for Beyonce, is admirable, even though hers was written first. I can’t blame her for being upset with Tedder, he was the one who threw her reputation under the bus. If Kelly sat back and said nothing, she would’ve possibly been accused of copying Beyonce, when that wasn’t the case.

Hi there, welcome to the site and thanks for the comment. I see from your Google search query that you were looking to sound off about this a little, huh? Well, that aside, you make some interesting points and thanks for the tip abouit CBC. I don’t know them from a hole in the wall, so that’s a good heads up.

I love how she’s ballsy and straightforward in interviews. And I doubt that she was quoted verbatim. Knowing CBC, they may have tweaked what she said to make it look like she’s talking shit and without class.

Anyway, I’d like to point out that Kelly CO-WROTE this song with Ryan Tedder and in fact, an insider at RCA revealed that she has 40% songwriting credits while Ryan only has %30. This goes to show that she’s not only an amazing songwriter, she’s all one of the best songwriters of our time. I think she’s the only popstar nowadays who writes her own material (well, Lady Gaga, of course lol) that’s why her songs have substance. You can check out her My December album and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Kelly Clarkson? Who’s this you speak of?

I don’t dispute the quote, I just think she should know better than to blab it all out. I think this is one of those times that keeping it real goes quite wrong. But we’ll see.
