I’ll always wonder what the songs intended for Stripped she was working on with Dallas Austin would’ve sounded like. I know that Kelly Clarkson’s Miss Independent is an outtake, but is it true that she was presented an early version of Gwen Stefani’s Cool by Dallas?
Yeah, Dallas Austin said he played her a version of "Cool" before Gwen wrote on it.
She was also supposed to get Alicia's "If I Ain't Got You" but I don't believe she ever recorded it.
