Okay, I'm sure we've all heard about the OneRepublic's lead singer, Ryan Tedder. He's a good artist, musician, and just a nice guy all around. But what happens to a person when greed finally sets in?

I would like to show you what happens:

Beyonce - Halo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70AgyIEnBRE

Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVZaA2s7xYI

Which song do you prefer?

I love Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce evenly, so after listening to them both, I have to say that I love 'Already Gone' more.

Ryan Tedder wrote the same backing track for each artists. Halo was released first, but Clarkson got the backing track first for her song.

Tedder is a retard for releasing the backing track to both artists at the same time. I'm guessing he was thinking if he did this, since he co-wrote the songs he would get a bigger profit from both artists. And he will most likely.

As for what Ryan Tedder has done, in my mind, he's lost view of what it is to be a musician. His decision to give the same backing track to both artists was probably purely profit based. And if that is the case, then we revoke his right to call himself a true musician. When music becomes money, over expression, you've lost your mind.

So I guess that's what happens when greed finally wins over love for music. It's all about how much money you can make now.

That's what you call Jumping the Shark.

Actually. That's beyond selling out. That's so fucking lame.

I wonder if they knew about the other having the same backing track?

That wasn't just jumping the shark, that was jumping the whole fucking animal kingdom.

I actually used to like that guy too...
