Kelly Clarkson - Tell Me A Lie - Lyrics

New Kelly Clarkson song leaked today called "Tell Me A Lie". Here are the lyrics for those of you who want to sing along!

Can't ever get it right
No matter how hard I try
And i've tried
I put up a good fight
But your words cut like knives
And im tired

As you break my heart again this time
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen listen
Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you're needing distance distance

Tell me everything but don't you say she's what you're missing baby
If she's the reason your leaving me here tonight
Spare me what you think and tell me
Tell me a lie.

You're the charming type
That little tweinke in your eye
Gets me every time
And well there must have been a time
I was a reason for that smile
So keep in mind
As you take whats left of you and I
(lyrics from idol360.org)
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you're needing distance distance

Tell me everything but don't you say she's what you're missing baby
If she's the reason your leaving me here tonight
Spare me what you think and tell me
Tell me a lie.

Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
That I never listen listen

Tell me you don't want my kiss
That you're needing distance distance

Tell me everything but don't you say she's what you're missing baby
If she's the reason your leaving me here tonight
Spare me what you think and tell me
Tell me a lie.

The Leak - Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson songs have been being leaked to the internet at an alarming rate. It seems at least once a week there is a new track to listen to. Today I will be briefly discussing each song, and telling you my favorites.

Cleopatra - This is the oldest in the current generation of leaks. And Kelly was NOT happy about it. She took to twitter to defend herself, and the song saying "'Cleopatra' is NOT a song on my next record! It was written for another artist! I have no idea how it leaked, it's a rough demo, unfinished!". While it's definitely not her usual style, you'll hear that a lot of her newest leaks are not either. It's still unknown what artist the song was originally intended for, but it's got some nice rock guitar riffs, and a hip hop style sound.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat - Some say this song is about her former writing partner Ryan Tedder. If you didn't hear the story a while back about how angry Kelly was that her song Already Gone and Beyonce's Halo shared some similar beats, you might want to check that out. This song seems to be about a record producer trying to hold Kelly back creatively. The song is heavily autotuned in parts, and kelly drones on almost as if she was a robot at the end saying "It's easy, anyone can do it. This song is completely different from that other song that sounds exactly the same. Yes it is. Yes it is."

Naked Eye - This is more like the Kelly everyone knows and loves. It sounds like it may have fit in well with the My December album, which while some people say was Kelly's worst, I believe to be her best.

Lover Stay - This one starts off with a beat that is on par with the opening of Miss Independent, but turns into what sounds like it could be a filler song on any one of her albums. It's a good song, but pretty generic sounding.

Dance - This song sounds just like the title would make it out to be. It's got an electronic beat and a great hook. I think I would be happy if this is the direction Kelly was taking with her next album.

Who's That Girl - This is one of the more odd demos of the bunch. It doesn't sound like any other Kelly song I have everheard. And with lines like "I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, this shit can't be learned so stop trying to be me" and "How is it my fault I look this good and get away with it?" you can tell Kelly is having fun with this one. Just like the last song, and some of her other leaks, it's got a very electronic beat which I hope she incorporates into her next album.

Ready To Go - This is one of my favorite leaks of the bunch. It's fun, poppy, and danceable. This song uses the same music and hook as "Things Can Only Get Better" by Howard Jones, but the lyrics have been changed. This song seems to highlight Kelly's promiscuous side: "I know you got your girl but I think she's digging me, so if you're not too scared to share your toys play with me".

Shit and Fame - This is the most unfinished sounding demo of them all. I'm not sure who this songs is about but she is clearly not happy with them. From the lyrics, it sounds like someone was riding her fame to the top: "You didn't mind before, when I got you in the door. You didn't whine like this, when I got your name on the list. You used to love me then, when I paid for you and your friends. You say people change, but I say you are full of shit and fame"

I Can't Lose - This is a slower ballad-y song compared to the rest of the leaks. It sounds like it would have even fit in on her Thankful album, but I don't think it's that old. The beat and the chorus sound like an older Lady GaGa style song.

Don't Be A Girl About It - This is another one of Kelly's female empowerment songs (think Miss Independent, Never Again). In this song she is singing to/about a boy she turned down who seems to not be taking it well. This is a rough sounding demo, but I would love to hear a fully mastered version of this song on her next album.

Lost - This is the first in a string of 3 leaks that sound like completed finished songs. I think this is the kind of music we will be hearing on her 5th album. It's really a great song, but isn't very memorable. Let me know what you think if this one, because I'm still not too sure.

Standing In Front Of You - This is the kind of song I would expect to show up in a romantic comedy, or a romantic drama movie. It's got a very soundtrack-y sound and I can picture myself watching a movie trailer with the chorus of this song playing over it. That's not to say it's a bad song, because it's not.

Don't Ever Give Up On Me - This is another song that sounds like it could have been around for a while. It's a really great song, and I can see myself listening to it for a long time. If you like Kelly's older stuff check this out, you won't be disappointed.

There are 6 other songs I am expecting to leak eventually, but I can't be sure when. Those songs are titled: Just The Way You Are, "SNSYPF" (meaning unknown), Promise, Turn It Up, Turn Me On, Wasting Kisses, and Love In These Eyes. So keep an eye out for those tracks and let me know if they turn up.

While I can't link you to download these songs, quick searches on youtube or google should turn up the mp3 downloads you desire.

Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone/Halo

Kelly Clarkson's sense of humor showed in a recent concert, where she added a few bars of Beyonce's Halo to her latest single "Already Gone". There was some controversy a while back that the writer of both songs used the same backing track, making the songs sound very similar. Listen to the clip below (Halo at 3:26)

Kelly Clarkson bloggs about Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift

Kelly Clarkson posted a new blog entry last night about the Kanye West controversy. In it she says "I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone."

Read the whole entry below.


Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone

The video for Kelly Clarkson's 3rd singer off her album "All I Ever Wanted" has been leaked to the internet, and already is surrounded by controversy.

The director of the video Joseph Kahn tweeted saying "No director's cut. That meatloaf is already cooked, and my hand hurts from everyone slapping my spices away. As they say, walk away."

Which is to say, that perhaps he is not happy with the video, or the fact that it was leaked to the internet.

Kelly Clarkson is also on record saying:

“Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else,” Clarkson begins, gritting her teeth. “He’s from Oklahoma, I’m from Texas; we got along really well and had some of the same influences. We wrote about six songs together, four or five of them made the album. It was all fine and dandy. I’d never heard of a song called Halo. Her album came out when my album was already being printed. No-one’s gonna be sittin’ at home, thinking ‘Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.’ No, they’re just gonna be saying I ripped someone off. I called Ryan and said, ‘I don’t understand. Why would you do that?’”
The palpably frustrated Clarkson claims she “fought and fought” to try and prevent her label from releasing Already Gone as her third single, out of respect for Beyonce.
“In the end, they’re releasing it without my consent,” she sighs. “It sucks, but it’s one of those things I have no control over. I already made my album. At this point, the record company can do whatever they want with it. It’s kind of a shitty situation, but.… You know, you learn.”

Lady GaGa & Kelly Clarkson Grammy Party Photos

I had the privilege of going to see Lady GaGa and Kelly Clarkson (with host Blake Lewis) at a special "private" grammy party at the House Of Blues in Boston, MA. I was in the front, but I was too busy enjoying the show to see that my camera was on the wrong setting. I've got over 100 pictures, but they're not all great. Regardless, they are all on my photography site http://www.FleaTheMagician.com.

The show was amazing. I went for Kelly Clarkson, but I came out a HUGE GaGa fan and I can not stop listening to her. I wish she would have done a song WITH Kelly, but it was amazing regardless.
