Kelly Clarkson, perhaps sensing that there’s a foreboding sense of failure attached to her newest ventures, has spoken out about her perceived hatred of record label exec Clive Davis. She’s trying to soften her image, because the black bra, white shirt, clunky earrings I hate the label schtick wasn’t cutting it.

I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors [sic], those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family,” Clarkson wrote. “Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it’s respect and admiration that will keep us together.”

The former Idol went on to say, “Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I’m well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time.”
