Who Leaked Kelly Clarksons New Album?

It was bound to happen – but who knew it would be iTunes that leaked Kelly Clarkson’s All I Ever Wanted before its March 10 release date? According to Rolling Stone.com, the most likely source of the leak was an iTunes Store in Norway, which posted the album and sold it early Friday afternoon.

The iTunes store had posted the typical 30-second previews of the songs on the album, but through some kind of error, sharp-eyed, shoppers realized that the album was there to purchase as well – and they did. From there it spread through the usual Internet music-sharing veins.

Idolator.com listed the leaked songs as including “I Do Not Hook Up” (which was co-written by everyone’s new favorite Idol judge Kara DioGuardi), “Save You” (which involved collaboration with Ryan Tedder of One Republic), and “Whyyawannabringmedown.” There were also songs co-written by Sam Walters, formerly of Color Me Badd: “Why” and “I Want You.”

Super producer Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald) told EW.com last year that Clarkson had been doing much better after getting with her new manager, Reba McEntire’s husband. On her studio sessions he said, “It’s sick. She sings a song in two hours and kills it.

If each song is 3:30 on average then, with 5 min breaks between each take, Kelly can seemingly cram in 14.5 attempts. Which I would have thought was pretty sloppy. Maybe Kelly doesn’t use autotune.

So, if anyone else leaked an album like this – they’d be sued right? iTunes sued? Didn’t think so.
