(antiMusic) Remember when we said that we're going to give Kelly Clarkson the hero of the year award for standing up to Clive Davis? We take it back after the pop singer took to her website to take back her recent comments about her feud with Davis over putting her own songs on her new album "My December". In fact, Kelly has done a bit of a flip-flop from "You're 80. You're not supposed to like my album" stance to kissing the geriatric label heads large rear. On her website she writes: " There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the release of "My December," much of which has focused on a supposed feud with my record label, in particular, Clive Davis. I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family. Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it's respect and admiration that will keep us together.
A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context. Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I'm well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so.
I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone. I love music, and I love the people I am blessed to work with. I am happy that my team is behind me and I look forward to the future. [Guess she no longer hates the "liars" at her record company and is in fact a pushover when push came to shove]
