Kelly Clarkson Licks Sam Champion

Kelly Clarkson sticks her tongue out and pretends to lick weather anchorman Sam Champion during Good Morning America in Central Park, New York City on Friday morning (July 31). The 27-year-old original American Idol performed her hit songs “Already Gone” and “Walk Away.”

Earlier this week co-writer/producer Ryan Tedder addressed rumors that he had ripped off his own work on Beyonce‘s “Halo” and Kelly‘s “Already Gone.” Tedder‘s said, “‘Already Gone’ is one of the best songs I’ve written or produced since [Leona Lewis's] ‘Bleeding Love’ and stands tall on it’s own merits apart from ‘Halo.’ They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically, & lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyonce into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful & absurd. I think when people hear ‘Already Gone’ they will hear what I hear – one of the greatest female vocalists on earth giving her most haunting and heart-breaking performance on a song she helped write. I challenge people to listen and form their own opinions.”
