Lost all patience with Carly. Never really liked her in the first place, then after "Come Together" I was ready to give her a chance, but since then it's been a wash. Her voice is just so uninteresting it hurts. Everything about her is uninteresting to me.

I think this article and video will definitely clear up those misconceptions about Kelly Clarkson's contribution to the lyrics and melody to her hit 'Because of You':
LMAO @ Kelly blocking her telephone number when calling Ben Moody, but on a more serious note, I would very much enjoy Ben Moody working with Kelly on her upcoming record, simply because of his work in Evanescence and what he did for 'Because of You' and 'Addicted' on 'Breakaway'.

Clive Davis is out as CEO of SONG/BMG but remains as Cheif Creative Officer of Song/BMG worldwide... ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iinsW3la36HxhozvUdtojWBaJ4vgD903TSS80here is the Kelly mention in the article: Davis has also been influential in the careers of the winners of "American Idol," guiding their albums to mostly platinum successes. Last year, however, he disagreed with the direction of Kelly Clarkson's "My December," and she publicly criticized him; the album was a flop, and she later apologized.of course they twist it to make it seem she apologized for the album flopping rather than her comment that he's 100 years old LOL... I do wonder if his behavior recently, continuing to bash Kelly in the press and his behavior last year didn't play a small role in this move by SONY/BMG.... perhaps they realized that he was holding a grudge and they really NEED Kelly to boost their lagging sales and if she could sell almost a million copies with no help from the label it might've dawned on them what they missed out on by allowing Clive to smear the album in public.

WOOHOOO!! The best video in the history of the world when it comes to the mess he had a huge hand in. Thanks neally!! He blew off a $120,000,000 generating artist as if she were a piece of garbage. I was coming here to post an old performance because I'd forgotten how great Kelly was at singing the blues, but that news is so much better. Anyway, here she is doing a fantastic job of BB King's "The Thrill is Gone". youtube.com/watch?v=p3kckzARUME

I was worried too Kal El. He's famous for holding grudges and I was worried for Kelly this time around.

Agreed. It's like a whole new start. I have a feeling, Narval won't be around for that much longer. Not that I don't think they'll end up badly, just I think he was with her to get her back on her feet, to weather the storm.
I wouldn't be surprised if management changes slightly as the new project looms closer.

I do wonder if his behavior recently, continuing to bash Kelly in the press and his behavior last year didn't play a small role in this move by SONY/BMG.... perhaps they realized that he was holding a grudge and they really NEED Kelly to boost their lagging sales and if she could sell almost a million copies with no help from the label it might've dawned on them what they missed out on by allowing Clive to smear the album in public. As tempting as it is to see such news through a Kelly-centric prism, this kind of top management changeover is common. The Sony BMG top management changes involve more people than just Davis. Here's the Billboard article (via the Hollywood Reporter - www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/business/news/e3ie6b027a8a8962cf18a62f7b60075ce0b):Davis is being bumped to a worldwide creative job at a time when Sony BMG is expanding the company's products and services. For example, the company is developing an online music subscription service. In addition, earlier this year Financial Times Deutschland reported that Bertelsmann AG is discussing the possible sale of its share in label Sony BMG. The joint venture agreement binding Sony Corp and Bertelsmann on Sony BMG is due to expire in August 2009. Each company owns 50% of Sony BMG. Here's a link to the March 4, 2008 Billboard article about this. www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3iaad714dd820df4ce3fd898a7726118d5The changes announced today have more to do with these developments than what's been happening with any of the artists signed to BMG and related labels.

Sony-BMG Reshuffles, Gives Clive Davis A Gentle ShovePeter Kafka | April 17, 2008 6:25 PM What do you do when your industry is in a death spiral? Reshuffle your management ranks. EMI is in the midst of a headache-inducing org chart overhaul, and Sony-BMG just announced its own moves. OUT: Charles Goldstuck, former President and COO of the BMG unit and a one-time rising star; Tim Bowen, Sony-BMG COO. UP: Barry Weiss, former President and COO of Zomba Label Group (Britney, Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys et al), is now Chairman and CEO of BMG. PUSHED POLITELY ASIDE: Clive Davis, former BMG Chairman and CEO, is now "Chief Creative Officer", a title we don't believe existed before, and which we're interpreting as "honorific title because we don't want to or can't fire you".[/b] Clive is a legendary figure in the business, and the kind of legendary figure who doesn't mind telling you that he's a legendary figure, so this move is important for that reason. But in the big picture, this is unlikely to matter much: The people who aren't buying CDs anymore have never heard of Clive Davis. Press release for music industry Kremlinologists follows. www.alleyinsider.com/2008/4/sony_bmg_reshuffles_gives_clive_davis_a_shove

But in the big picture, this is unlikely to matter much: The people who aren't buying CDs anymore have never heard of Clive Davis. A well-said paragraph that hits the nail right on the head. In the big picture, it isn't likely to matter much. The music business, like most of the old media (newspapers, magazines, broadcast TV, etc.), must meet the challenges of a changing market or die. Anyway, we all hope these changes wind up being good for Kelly (and other artists who have butted heads with Clive). But we don't know what the new big man at BMG will be like. Time will tell.

It's like a big ol' PARTAY in this thread !!!
I would think Kelly must be happy but then again who knows how Mr. Barry Weiss will be; she must be focused on her papal performances no doubt.
KC had a journal entry today and she's stoked about this weekend.

Whether or not Barry Weiss will be good or bad, I still celebrate the news of Clive's ouster or demotion. He has singlehandly took Kelly from a Mult-Platinum Artist to someone who has sold only 700,000 CD's. He has screwed with other Artist's careers too. All in favor of his little pets.
