Update: Tedder deleted the blog entry…Hm… I’ll bet somebody asked him to take it down. Neither Kelly nor her label have commented. Perhaps TPTB are attempting to keep a lid on this so it dies a quick death on the news cycle…
Since I helped start the brouhaha, I guess I better follow up on it!
Ryan Tedder responds on his Myspace to the Kelly Clarkson “Already Gone”/Halo controversy from Europe, where he is vacationing:
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.
More will be revealed, I’m sure…
