Another vote for "Halo." I think "Already Gone" would sound way better by OneRepublic.

"Already Gone" by a healthy margin. "Halo" has always annoyed me...the whole "Halo, halo, halo" bit seems like the song assumes anthem status, which I don't think it earns via its hook or lyrics. For me, the lyrics are limp, as well -- I don't find those declarations of love eloquent or emotionally credible, and I don't think they are well-matched to the melody.
"Already Gone" is derivative, true. And I usually don't like super-cleaned vocals, but I think the ethereal feel really works for the song -- it obviously really matches the title. The lyrics have more emotional resonance for me than the lyrics of "Halo," as well, and they are better matched to the song's melody.

Already Gone! It is such a great song! I like Halo a lot but I just feel Already Gone is a better and more haunting song!

The inevitable poll. Halo by far. Already gone is nice but it's not got the "Aylo Aylo Aylo" hook. Also, Already Gone doesn't sound as well produced as Halo.

I was waiting for this one.
Already Gone by far. I get bored with Halo halfway through and its way too repetitive.

Have to go with Halo. Halo sounds like a boring rip-off of Bleeding Love/Apologize, but Already Gone sounds kid of like a boring rip-off of Halo.

Halo by far. Already Gone is a rip off, wonder how many times Ryan Tedder is gonna recycle the same beat before people get tired of his sound.

Kelly "Already Gone"
I like it's melody and lyrics better and of course Kelly's vocals are unbeatable in my opinion.

Production: Halo Vocals: Already Gone (by a hair) Lyrics: Already Gone
Winner: Already Gone
These are my two favorite ballads in recent memory. Very hard decision. Hopefully they'll both be very successful!

The fact that I like Kelly Clarkson and her vocals more than Beyonce is the only deciding factor. Lyrically, they're both duds and the production seems about the same.

Now for the latest news on Halo/Already Gone. Now it appears Halo is Already Gone's clone.... Interesting info about all of this Halo vs Already Gone talk: The interview where this is said is supposed to be put up before too long. This was also posted:

It doesn't matter who's a clone of who, both tracks aren't that good
