That said, I'm not the least bit shocked Ryan Tedder is copycatting himself. And to me, both these songs sound like a knockoff of Leona Lewis' "Better in Time" (not so much "Bleeding Love"). Did he write that one, too? Have to say I don't like any of those songs very much - "Better in Time" slightly more than the others. Never cared for "Apologize," either. They just all blend together - a bland blend of blah. Count me in the camp that’s sympathetic to Kelly, even if she isn’t doing herself or her career any favors by being outspoken about this.

He gave them the same track to write to, and probably at the same time, she couldn't have known that unless he told her. She, like the rest of us, heard Halo when the album came out, and at that time Kelly's album was already being printed, my guess is that she wouldn't have put the song on her album if she knew there was another song almost identical being released as a single. And of course if she's not connected to the song it's not the song's fault, I agree with you, singers connect with the music they really love, and you can see that when they're performing live. I put those examples because there is music that kelly connects to, and it's that kind of music. Kelly said after performing "Walking after midnight" that she would record a whole album with that music if her label would back her up. Her style is obviously more like singer-songwriter, like My December, but people and her label want her to be a popstar. She left The Firm because Jeff wanted her to be the biggest popstar in the world, and she doesn't want to. I can't wait until they finish their contract (she has one more album with them) and see what she does next. She loves music and she enjoys it, and she would never record something she doesn't like because it's her voice and her face out there and she's responsible for the product she releases, but it's obvious she prefers other kinds of music. This has always been the story, she wants to do something and the label wants her to a completely different thing. And they own her right now, so she has no choice. So I understand when she complains that Ryan gave her and Beyonce the same song, she agreed with the label that she would work with the producers they wanted for this album, but giving her the same song as another artist... that is just too much. And I admire her courage for saying it, for making people know that she's not happy with that. She's honest, it's that simple, someone asked her about it and she answered. Homework???

It’s funny, I always thought Halo was a knockoff of “No Air”. It has the same melody where they repeat the title over and over.

To me, Kelly’s problem is that she lost her distinct Kelly style. Now when her music starts on the radio, I either think it’s Pink, Katie Perry or Sara McLachlan. Sometimes it takes until the chorus for me to figure out it’s her. It’s like she is imitating their singing style as well as singing songs similar to theirs.

I hope she finds her own voice again. I think she’ll be much happier than she seems to be now.
