What amuses me is that Clive Davis is as old as Porter Waggoner, so he'd get about as much radio play as Porter is getting now ;).

BTW, Apologies to Porter I keep putting an extra G in his last name. Should be Wagoner.

Clive Davis is tried and proven.

She will pay dearly for her most recent and previous negativity.

Has she forgotten that Clive (and the label courtesy of Clive) 'Made' her......

Her so called 'gut' along with tens of millions of dollars from RCA and Clive's expertise are the reason anyone has even heard of her.

This new generation has a thing about thinking they've created the wheel...

Being a Record Producer myself, I've worked with quite a few writers, artists, etc. that just don't get it until they're dumped.

Watch the slowwwwwww burnnnnnnnn.

Mark my words.

You may be right, read a story today that the album is not living up to sales and Clive is vindicated. Que sera sera, I still liked the disc. ;)

When Kelly Clarkson was doing it 'her way' she was a struggling artist in Texas, a nobody. Once the 'right people' started working with her she found fame. I think it is admirable that Kelly wants to write her own music. I have been a songwriter and musician for my entire adult life and have fought for my views on many songs.

With the quality of this album and the 'fact' that sales are not where she would expect them, I think she needs to look at other artists that are very successful without writing their own tunes. Her new mentor, Reba, has sung many songs that she didn't write. With this in mind, she needs to humble out a little and think about her career. The opportunity is here for Kelly to be a one-hit or one-album wonder and with her voice, that would be a shame.

I don't think it's fair to say that Clive 'made' Kelly.

Clive, and every other radio label had their chance to discover her in when she was sending out demos and cover shots in LA before Idol. In today's screwed up, image conscious, video driven, 'music' industry, Kelly didn't have a chance of getting signed to a major label. She was told she needed to lose weight and overhaul her image before anyone would take her seriously enough to give her a shot.

I like parts of the new album, although it isn't as polished as it could be. I don't think she's going anywhere though. This is just a bump in her career - she'll be around for a long time.

i founnd it really disappointing. I loved Breakaway, but this new one is not even close. I wasn't really into Never Again and with most of the tracks on there you would just skip. How I Feel and One Minute are probably the best tracks on it.

Kelly Clarkson: My December

Judging by the themes of anger and betrayal that dominate Kelly Clarkson's third disc, My December, perhaps 'Jagged Little Idol' would have been a more telling title. According to interviews, ...more
