How Songs can Change




“Already Gone” by Kelly Clarkson had a vaguely similar beat to the song “Halo” by Beyonce. When I heard Kelly Clarkson’s song “Already Gone” I thought it was “Halo” because the introduction is the same instrumental. My reasoning for Kelly Clarkson remaking the instrumental for her new song is because the person who wrote the music for “Already Gone” gave the same music to Beyonce a few months back. The Hollywood music businesses sometimes do not pay attention to the closeness of songs like this. Maybe Kelly just thought that her lyrics did fit the song nicer.
In my opinion I thought that Kelly Clarkson’s lyrics fit the song better than Beyonce’s. I think what it comes down to is which story the artist is telling and if you can relate to it. ‘Already Gone’ is a song more people can relate to and feel. Kelly sings from her heart so her pain seems real like she’s “been there, felt like that.” That’s always been Kelly from the beginning, full of heart and soul. Beyonce just simply gets into “character” when she sings. Her song made sense, but it did not seem like it actually came from her, from her feelings and experiences. Artists have a better time connecting with their fans if they sing about lyrics that are easily relatable.
