Already Gone should have been titled Already Done :kii:
The fact that she still released the song in the same album format is not really smart because her PR and record labelexecs shouldve been aware of the similarity and released like a single mix instead or remix.

Vis a vis chart performance, I'm pretty sure 'Halo' did better on the Hot 100, pop radio, digital sales, awards won (lol), more or less across the board besides Hot AC. Anyone have some receipts that show otherwise? No one could have receipts to refute that, because you spoke the TRUTH

Over a year later, I still like "Already Gone" better. Yes, but I like Halo now more than I did a year ago, as well. Such a shame about them being so similar, both are pretty great ballads.

Well she didn't release 'Gone'. In fact, she fought RCA to hold off on it's release as the third single because of the similarity and proximity to 'Halo' on radio, but lost that battle. Her label execs no doubt were aware of the similarity, but released it nevertheless. At least it was very successful on radio and fairly successful digitally.... I agree- both songs are really, really good songs. Sadly, 'Already Gone' could have done even better if were not released so close to 'Halo'. Oh well..............

This is actually really tough. I prefer "Already Gone's" lyrics, but even though "Halo" does get repetitive with all the "halos" throughout the song, I just found it more addictive than "Already Gone," and I slightly prefer Beyonce's vocal as well. So, I voted "Halo."
They're both a solid B. Not my favorite song in either woman's catalog, but solid.

Already Gone. I like "Halo" but for some reason, the lyrics and vocals seem a bit empty. For one reason or another, Beyonce seems to have more passion and personality with her anti-men songs lol.

Already Gone is the original song. Halo copied it.
Besides, Already Gone is epic and haunting, Halo isn't.

Already Gone is haunting, Halo isn't. ch, the strings intro on Halo alone are more haunting than the whole thing Tedder put on Already Gone.

Nothing about Halo is haunting, in my opinion. B is singing about the love of her life, and Kelly is singing about letting her lover go (or maybe even killing herself based off the music video). The violins are the extra touch.

I can't stand the production on 'Halo''s chorus. That synth shit and the clapping effect are both fucking dreadful. 'Already Gone' remains far superior, obv. The strings >>> Beyoncé.

"Halo" is OK, but "Already Gone" is great. And this is coming from an avid Kelly hater.

last year i would have said Halo though now i am leaning towards Already Gone. even though they are sort of similar they both stand on their own as great songs.

I wish Already Gone <the superior song> was released before Halo. It would've probably went Top 5 on BBH100. >:(
