Kelly Clarkson Invited To Be Back On Clive Davis' Good Side

@dabug: It wasn't, which is why this whole thing was so stupid in the first place. It wasn't a matter of Davis being unhappy with her sound (which wasn't much of a departure from Breakaway anyway), it was a matter of Davis having more faith professional songwriters for no real reason. (They weren't writing markedly different songs, and they weren't writing markedly more marketable songs -- remember, Lindsay's album flopped -- and wait, isn't Kelly a professional songwriter? You know, having written songs? Professionally?)

I'm still not convinced that Clive's "direction" for Kelly was that much different than the one she chose, or that this was anything more than a stubborn power thing (which the press for the most part indulged on "artistic" grounds). Only track I'm aware he even shopped for her was Lindsay Lohan's "Black Hole," which uh....sounds very My December-y! Except not as good as anything on My December.

Thank you!

Davis won the battle and lost the war. This is his way of saving face.
