Have you heard Ne-Yo’s new single, “Miss Independent”? The video just came out, and no, it’s not a remake (nor does it have any affiliation with) Kelly Clarkson’s song of the same name - the second single from her debut album (which also earned her a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2004).
But wait, that’s not all! Both Kelly and Ne-Yo also have songs called “Because of You.” Hmm… which came first? The chicken? The egg? The Idol? I digress…
The songs could feasibly be about the same “Miss Independent” - just from a different perspective. So, ladies and gents, being that the songs share a title, it seems ONLY FAIR to pit them against eachother. Whatsitgonnabe? The Texas-born and bred American Idol songstress or the smooth R&B “Closer” crooner? You decide!

Kelly Clarkson is the better singer IMO. But So Sick is one of my favorite songs…. Kelly is better with Miss Independent and Ne-Yo is better with Because Of You. Kelly’s version of Because of you was always too depressing and I never quite understood it.
