I just found out today that Claude Kelly wrote Circus. No wonder it's one of those rare Britney ditties that I like.

I've read in www.claudekelly.com that he also wrote songs for Leona Lewis and Akon.

Lewis' album just hit platinum by the way.

Thanks for that link. I went to the site and read Claude Kelly's story. He has such an impressive list of songs written for an equally impressive range of artists, including Whitney Houston, Brandy, NKOTB and Toni Braxton

For you guys who is wondering who Claude Kelly is, here is the list of songs he wrote and the artists who sang them:
Akon - "We Don't Care", "Over The Edge"
Brandy - "Camouflage", "True"
Suai - "Oh Snap"
Toni Braxton - "Melt (Like An Iceberg)"
Varsity Fanclub - "Zero", "We Will"
New Kids On The Block - "Looking Like Danger"
Britney Spears - "Circus", "Shattered Glass"
Frankie J - "Daddy's Little Girl", "Magic"
Jay Sean - "Tonight"
Jesse McCartney - "Told You So", "Not Your Enemy"
Kelly Clarkson - "My Life Would Suck Without You", "Don't Let Me Stop You"
Leona Lewis - "Forgive Me"
Lemar - "If She Knew", "Wait Forever"
Lloyd - "I Can Change Your Life"

Cool! It's not too surprising though, Claude Kelly is a talented man who grew up in music.

That's an impressive list of songs! And the artists are not cheap fly by night one hit wonders!

I love his story... people say that he started playing the piano by age 2!

There are only a few people who can write songs for Whitney Houston and he's currently working with Whitney for a new song!

I think Claude sings too... but mostly on backup. Wasn't he on Frankie J's Magic???
