In this day and age, it's all but impossible for an artist to avoid having his or her music leaked before its official release -- a lesson Kelly Clarkson has recently learned all over again, thanks to a series of Web leaks offering fans an early glimpse of her upcoming album.

Weighing in with a new blog post at her site, Clarkson wrote, "Well ….. I get back in the states from a vacation and somehow like 50 of my songs are leaked on the Internet?! No point in getting angry because there’s nothing I can do so I hope y’all like the music. I can’t wait for everybody to hear my actual finished 5th album!"
