Kelly Clarkson vs. Beyonce

Singer/songwriter and frontman of OneRepublic Ryan Tedder should feel a bit ashamed for this. The same formula that he used in Beyoncé's past top five hit, "Halo" was also used in Kelly Clarkson's new single "Already Gone".

Kelly Clarkson recorded her song first. Tedder worked with Beyoncé after his sessions with Clarkson were over. When Beyoncé and her label realized that "Halo" and "Already Gone" had similiarities, Beyoncé urged that Halo be released immediately and now that this has been done, people are starting to think that Clarkson is ripping off her Beyoncé, but in all realness, Clarkson recorded and FINISHED her song first. I Am... Sasha Fierce just happened to be released months before All I Ever Wanted. So lame!

Which one do you like better? I love "Already Gone" much better. Both versions are below.

I Am... Tour, Book Revealed

I'm sure that all of the Beyoncé fans are dying to see what the concert looks like if they haven't seen it yet and so am I. But for now, we can all look at the promotional pictures from her tour in the official I Am... Tour Book. I'm sure that the book will be sold at all of her concerts in the U.S. Click here for the photo gallery.

Video Anthology? Not Quite Yet, But...

Above & Beyoncé is a video album that will be released by Beyoncé, exclusively by Wal-Mart on June 16, 2009. The CD/DVD set will include videos of all released singles so far including "Broken-Hearted Girl" and remixes of all singles as well.

A video for "Sweet Dreams" will not be on the DVD, since "Broken-Hearted Girl" was selected as a single beforehand.

The CD/DVD will be released to all retail outlets a little after the Wal-Mart release date. For tracklisting, click here.

The Upcoming Beyoncé Releases

Just like she did for B'Day, the one and only Beyoncé will be releasing the I Am... Sasha Fierce Video Anthology & Remixes. Yes, that's right. Another DVD full of videos for every song on the album. I Am... Sasha Fierce will also be re-issued with bonus tracks. The album & DVD is tentatively scheduled for release on June 16, 2009.

In other news with the Queen Bey, "Ego" will be released as the fifth single this week (tomorrow) and a video for the song will premiere on her official website on May 21, 2009. A remix with Kanye West is also attached. So, if you wanna see the new video, tune in there. I'm sure everyone's gonna post it on YouTube the minute it's out as well. "Broken-Hearted Girl" was to be released right along with "Ego", but that won't happen, sad to say. However, "Sweet Dreams" will be released as her sixth single in June.

Big ups to the Queen Bey doing big things for the kids! WERK!!!
