Kelly Clarkson standing up for herself, not surprising at all. Hells yea, girl!
Christina Garibaldi (@ChristinaMTV) from MTV.com:
Music mogul Clive Davis and Simon Fuller signed Kelly to RCA Records after she won the first season of "American Idol." In Clive Davis' new autobiography, he claims that Kelly burst into "hysterical sobbing" after he forced her to include her massive single "Since U Been Gone" on her 2004 Breakaway album. But she says that story couldn't be further from the truth.
Her response?
"His stories and songs are mixed up. I did want more guitars added to the original demo and Clive did not..." Clarkson wrote. "But, yes, I did cry in his office once. I cried after I played him a song I had written about my life called 'Because Of You.' I cried because he hated it and told me verbatim that I was a 'sh--ty writer who should be grateful for the gifts that he bestows upon me.' He continued on about how the song didn't rhyme and how I should just shut up and sing. This was devastating coming from a man who I, as a young girl, considered a musical hero and was so honored to work with. But I continued to fight for the song and the label relented. And it became a worldwide hit. He didn't include that in the book."
