"Don't piss off Clive Davis"

Kelly Clarkson was coaching Canadian Idols hopefuls this week. First piece of advice from Ms. Clarkson ought to be: “Don’t piss-off Clive Davis.”

Clarkson recently apologized to Clive Davis, the head of RCA and powerhouse producer, for comments she made, such as ‘I get you don’t like my album. You’re 80; you’re not supposed to.’ Said album was the underwhelming “My December”:

Clarkson decided not to reunite with any of the producers who helped craft (Breakaway)’s five ultra-catchy top 20 singles, insiders say that BMG Label Group's chairman, 40-year music veteran Clive Davis, sat on My December for four months, hoping she'd change her mind. She wouldn't. (Entertainment Weekly)

Seeing as how Davis is responsible for like, a thousand Grammy’s for best albums and song (including the dynasty that was Whitney Houston), perhaps Ms. Clarkson should have listened to the octogenarian.
