A music video in support of Kelly Clarkson's single "Already Gone" has just made its debut. Directed by Joseph Kahn, it shows the winner of "American Idol" season 1 wearing a gold dress and laying on the couch. It also sees her in a black gown performing the song in the middle of invincible orchestra players.

"Already Gone" is taken from Kelly's fourth studio album "All I Ever Wanted" which has been in stores since March. This track is written by Kelly and Ryan Tedder, the OneRepublic's frontman who also makes contribution to the song's production.

Kelly actually disagreed when her label wanted "Already Gone" to be put out as the third single from her latest record. She didn't think the song is the right choice because it has "similar elements" that Ryan used in Beyonce Knowles' single "Halo".

"Ryan and I met each other at the record label, before he was working with anyone else. ... I'd never heard of a song called 'Halo'. Her [Beyonce] album came out when my album was already being printed," Kelly told CBC News. "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?'."

"In the end, they're releasing it without my consent. 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."

In related news, Kelly Clarkson has been scheduled to sing at revived VH1 Divas concert alongside Leona Lewis, Adele and Miley Cyrus on September 17. She will also embark on a North American tour with Australian duo The Veronicas and band Parachute, starting from October 2 at Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.
