Kelly/Beyonce song similarity explained
Saw this on posted DS, thought it'd be interesting to post:
Quote:
Ryan Tedder told some radio station in his hometown that he worked with Kelly first and then Beyonce.
He said Beyonce had heard the Kelly song through Ryans mixer and she demanded a song like it. He took Halo's structure and completely changed it.
However, Beyonce CD came out first.

This is exactly how it was explained.
-Halo had been written/produced/demo'd since January last year. Ryan wrote the song while Apologize was blowing up.
-Simon approached Ryan at some event and asked him to meet with him. Simon went through songs and picked Halo out.
-Kelly started working with Ryan in May or June and he wrote Already Gone with her and fully produced it.
-Leona's handlers said they were going to pass on the track (Halo) because Leona's schedule was too busy
-Beyonce heard a demo of Already Gone when working with the same guy who mixed AG.
-Beyonce called Ryan up and demanded that he get a track for her that sounded the same.
-Ryan went into the studio and started working a new progression of Halo.
-Beyonce met with him, heard it and recorded it in 2 hours.
-Beyonce rush released her album and decided Halo would be a single so she could beat Kelly's release date and get her track out first.

Also worth noting that somehow, Beyonce got a writing credit on it =\
Agh, I really hate Beyonce. lmfao. |
