Meow!!! Okay, now I can’t get that stupid old jingle for Meow Mix out of my head! Anyway, Clive Davis definitely fueled rumors of his rift with Kelly Clarkson during his speech at the American Idol finale on Wednesday night. He mentioned virtually every Idol who has had some success and basically licked Carrie Underwood’s boots but never once uttered Kelly’s name. With a new album coming out, her status as the first Idol winner and her success, it is shocking to see such unprofessional behavior, in my opinion. If this were any other show, maybe, but not American Idol where she is the First Lady. Yikes!
TMZ.com reports that “SONY/BMG execs have been apologizing to members of Clarkson’s camp for their label head’s rude behavior. Clive did briefly allude to two-time Grammy winner Clarkson — but only to praise the talents of outside songwriters working with “Idols.” Ouch! A well-placed source told TMZ, “Clive’s actions, both delaying the album, and now this, tell you everything you need to know about how he feels about Kelly.” That’s no way to treat a 15-million-album-selling lady! A rep for Clive Davis told TMZ, ‘There is no truth to this story whatsoever. The focus of Clive’s speech was on the recent Idol successes.’”

Deny, deny, deny. Hey if it works, it works, right?
Now I know who that black hair girl was. Poor Kelly I agree I think that was in bad taste. She has to ride it out and then move on. Kelly has a great voice and she is still young.
I can’t believe idiot praised Chris and didn’t mention kelly’s successful songwriting. Total sexism like kelly mentioned.
