Kelly Clarkson Single "Since U Been Gone"?

Did anyone notice that Kelly Clarkson's single is titled "Since U Been Gone"?
Is this a Prince reference? If so is anybody pissed?

P.S. Yes I'm a newbie, so go ahead and make all the neccessary comments.

If it is, why should we be? At least she's giving credit to the right person for a song title.

Since you asked an honest question, I'll give an honest answer - NO.

There are literally hundreds of songs that use "U" instead of "you" - Prince might be noteable for doing it over 20 years ago (I believe the first was Jack U Off) - but he didn't invent short-hand and numerics in songtitles.

All I'm saying is that many people equate this with Prince. When Sinead O'Conner did Nothing Compares 2 U, many people who didn't know it by Prince originally got the idea through the shorthand. I know that Prince doesn't have any kind of rights to doing it. I'm just asking could Kelly be making an attempt at being cool by copping his style?

P.S. I know this thread may be trivial, but aren't 9 out of 10 threads on this site trivial. I mean they're just things to talk about. I've been reading the Org forums for a while now (before I joined) and some of you veterans are like Barry from High Fidelity. Aren't we all Prince lovers. We should get along.

Don't take it personal.. It's just that their names should never appear on the same line for fear she might actually end up recording a Prince song.

Exactly! That's why I raised the question. I hate people like Kelly who are made by the industry. Prince is the antithesis of that person, which is why I love him.

That's the musical snobbery being discussed in other threads.

The act might be manufactured, but the music is still created by someone.

Vanity 6 and The Time didn't write their material, but I don't regard their material any less than the work released under Prince's own name.
