andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

If you read the liner notes of Kelly Clarkson’s “Thankful” album, you’ll see that the American Idol winner co-wrote “Miss Independent” with Christina Aguilera. That was news to Clarkson, who didn’t realize she had co-written it with Aguilera until the album was complete.

“I found out she wrote on some part of it, like, after it was even on my CD,” Clarkson told Launch. “I kinda asked before, I said, ‘You know, this kinda has her spirit to it, you know, this sounds a little like Christina Aguilera,’ and everybody was just like, ‘Yeah, yeah.’ But I didn’t actually know she wrote it until afterwards, so it was a surprise but, I mean, a good surprise. She’s a phenomenal writer, [a] phenomenal performer.”
