CliveDavis is clearly holding nothing back with his autobiography "The
Soundtrack of My Life." The music mogul opens up about his
bisexuality, his early childhood and behind-the-scenes stories of
some of music's elite, including Whitney Houston.
And
while some may be surprised of what they learn when turning the pages
of the 500-page book, no one was more shocked than Kelly Clarkson,
who took to her blog to say that she has been "bullied" by
Davis' false claims.
Davis
and Simon Fuller signed Clarkson to RCA Records after she won the
first season of "American Idol." In his autobiography, he
claims that Clarkson burst into "hysterical sobbing" after
he forced her to include her massive single "Since U Been Gone"
on her 2004 Breakaway album. But Clarkson says that story
couldn't be further from the truth.
"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."
Their
differences didn't end there. In 2007, it was publically acknowledged
that the two didn't see eye to eye after Clarkson took creative
control for her third album My December. After saying in the
press that she was "not a fan" of the music executive, she
later cleared up the rumors of their relationship.
But
Davis recalls in his autobiography that he didn't feel that Clarkson,
who recently won her third Grammy, co-penned any hit material on her
third album My December,calling it a "pop album that still needs
pop hits."
