Songwriter Responds To Kelly Clarkson's Song Recycling Accusations!!!

This blew up fast!
Kelly Clarkson accused songwriter Ryan Tedder of reusing aspects of Beyonce‘s track Halo for Kelly’s new single, Already Gone.
Well, Ryan took to his official blog yesterday to clear the air.
He wrote:

Hey everyone, Ryan here. So…..i’m in Europe on vacation with my wife yesterday when I get a flurry of emails with links to gossip sites and media outlets saying “Kelly clarkson throws producer Ryan Tedder under the bus re: Already Gone” etc etc etc… Alleging that I copied myself or “pulled a fast one” on Kelly Clarkson. This couldn’t be farther from the truth and the whole thing is absurd….however, I need to actually read what the hell is going on, make a call or 2, and be fully informed of it, then I assure you I will have a proper, respectful response. I don’t take allegations of this nature lightly- ESPECIALLY when it’s in regards to artists I respect and admire. Nor do I let things like this go unaddressed. So, give me a minute, and I’ll tell u whatsup and what really happened, or in this case, “didn’t” happen.

Interestingly enough….
Ryan deleted the entry shortly after!
Shady!
