Music industry guru and American Idol judge Simon Cowell has a little bit of advice for American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson on her recent feud with music-industry executive Clive Davis:
Kiss and make up, decide what’s best, get on with it! Clive Davis, at 80, is better than 99 percent of the people in the music business in their 20s, 30s and 40s. And he’s not 80, he’s less than 80.”
“(Kelly) is one of the best and she always will be, (but Clive) is the boss of the record company… It’s his job to advise.”
Cowell’s response comes after Clarkson shot off her mouth in August’s issue of Blender magazine about tracks that she wrote for her new album My December, which were rejected. She said,
(I told Davis) I don’t know you very well, and I am not a [bleep]. I get (that) you don’t like the album. You’re 80; you’re not supposed to like my album.
“I literally got told to my face that it wouldn’t sell more than 600,000 copies. And I got lied to. One reason I don’t like working with people at the label is that they lie. … If you’re going with the flow and not fighting, that’s settling. I can’t take that. Life is just too short to be a pushover.”
Simon is completely right. This girl is pissing off the wrong people. If she thinks she can survive in the industry by being a diva before she actually has the status of Madonna, she’s mistaken. If she doesn’t watch herself, it’s just going to be her and Paula Abdul thrown out to the curb, tripping over their pet chihuahuas.
