Yeah, I don't think if her album doesn't sell well she'll be forced to start flipping burgers. There's not even any logic to that remark. If this album doesn't sell well she'll try harder with the next one.

18. Kelly is ok. Clive needs to spend every waking hour working on Whitney.

21. what's there to be jealous of? I think Clive Davis has enough experience in the buisness to know a good album when he hears one. The lil porker should have some respect for the person who gave her a chance in the 1st place. I heard the song and I think it sucks. Hopefully the rest of the album doesnt sound as crappy. I say it again "stanz" : clive davis was on point. DONT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS U KELLY!!

22. This is hilarious. Number 1 Kelly Clarkson is not an artist. Lets be clear on that. She is from wanna be pop singer show American Idol. Ciive Davis is a legend, and he knows talent, music, and knows what is quality work. I have heard her new album is lousy. If it does sell well,it will only be due to loyal fans.. Wake up Kelly thats what music contracts are for. Seriously she should be thankful she has a career. Shame on you for being a child and not respecting one of the most influencial music exec heads of all times.

23. she can have creative freedom when she foots the bill to record and promote the album by herself. you take clive's advance $, and you have to take clive's advice.

"never again" is not a great song. she's not the superstar she thinks she is.

24. Kelly Clarkson won on a Reality show. She has made a great album. I can't tell you how I would turn my radio up for since you been gone. With that said if Clive Davis wanted her to make a few changes, then she should have. Why because that's his job...He is a producer and she is a singer. If you manage a Store, why would a clerk make all the decisions? Sometimes we have to give credit to people who know the business. Her 1st album was great, did she write all the songs for that one. I think Ms. Clarkson may be a little Jennifer Hudsonish now.


Fame can make people change who they were from the beginning. I will have to see when the album comes out. My money is on Clive Davis. Let’s see... Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston need I go on.

25. She did something Clay Aiken ahould have done. Clay came out and said that Clive mandated him to put out his last album with mostly covers. He ended up selling a total of 500,00 CD's of his album, A Thousand different ways, while it was a decent number, it was a far cry from his previous CD which sold. 2.7 million. There has to be some give and take between the label and the artist, but in Kelly's case, she felt like it would have been a step backward to put out a CD of pop-flavored songs again.

She had a vision of just the kind of album she wanted to put out this time, and I for one am glad she stuck to her guns. I'm so ready for some different sounds from her instead of things like the sappy "Girlfriend" types of songs that are coming out of my speakers.

26. No, please continue MaMaMe. These idiots dont get it!! Clive Davis has won three Grammy Awards. At the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2000 he won Best Rock Album and Album of the Year for producing Carlos Santana's "Supernatural". At the 48th Annual Grammy Awards in 2006 he won Best Pop Vocal Album for Producing Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway". Clive is also resposible for: Whitney Houston, singer-songwriter Barry Manilow, Dionne Warwick, Monica, Gary Glitter, Exposé, Angie Aparo, Sarah McLachlan, Annie Lennox, saxophonist Kenny G, rappers The Notorious B.I.G. and Sean "Puffy" Combs, Aretha Franklin, Toni Braxton, Air Supply, Ace of Base, The Alpha Band, The Grateful Dead, TLC, Willie Nile, Bay City Rollers, Nona Hendryx, American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino, and Patti Smith among others. In the 1970s, Arista also had an extensive jazz line, most notably its Freedom imprint, concentrating on contemporary, sometimes avant-garde, musicians and widely praised reissues from the legendary Savoy label.
I have a feeling Kelly should have listened to the old Clivester. HA!!!

29. Clive Davis was putting out hit albums many years before Clarkson was a glint in her mother and or father's eyes. He's a legend who knows something about the music business. Maybe Clarkson will ultimately be right; but, if she's wrong, she'll put a big dent in her carreer and damage a relationship with Davis that any new singer/songwriter would hand over their first born to have.

30. Kelly wrote “Because of You”, “Behind These Hazel Eyes”, “Walk Away”, “Miss Independent”…. She also writes her own video treatments, which are HUGELY popular. She’s also the one who changed the arrangement on Since U Been Gone and made it the Grammy award-winning hit. She also pushed for certain songs from the Breakaway album to be released…. When Kelly listened to Clive she had only minor hits and people started to think she was a one hit wonder. When she started doing things her own way and dumped Simon Fuller/ 19 Entertainment as her management, and put her stamp on the second album, she became one of the biggest selling artists of 2005 and sold 11 million Breakaway CD’s worldwide. Clive needs to wise up and start listening to Kelly. Kelly Clarkson is extremely down to earth and is so in touch with her fans that she knows exactly what they want. Her fans count her as family and treat her that way because she treats them that way. She’s the kind of star that will stop in the mall and just chat with you on her day off… If I had chance I’d say….she’s knows us Clive…she knows what we want… you don’t. Mr. Davis put your energy into launching Leona Lewis and stop bullying Kelly. Clarkson has done nothing but prove herself to you and the industry…over and over and over again.
