Kelly Clarkson Refused To Perform ‘Bitter’ During ‘Idol Gives Back’ Special
In the latest bit of Kelly Clarkson vs. J Records news, tattles tell us that Kelly refused to perform her hit single ‘Bitter’ during April’s ‘Idol Gives Back’ performance, against record executives’ wishes.
“To promote yourself on a charity event is beyond crass. People are starving and dying and I’m up there singing some bitter pop song. Believe me, everyone wanted me to sing it because they are jaded and have no soul. Imagine sitting in a room full of people totally against you: ‘Can’t they hear themselves speaking? Capitalize off AIDS? Are you kidding? Insulting an entire nation of people?’ I just refused.”

I really do not understand the Media. The media Seems to Always blow things out of proportion, and i am really getting tired of the media seemingly try to hurt Kelly Clarkson image. I mean so she has been going through a little rough patch, but to be comparing her to people who have been in rehab?? Come on People You are crazy!!! Kelly Clarkson has one of the best voices in the world and everyone knows that. Now she is getting negative publicity, the news, the radio, articles, blogs all seem to want to bring her down and that is just so not right!!! Kelly Clarkson will be around for a long time!! She has an amazing voice, and has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that she can sing anything! It is really sad that the media wants to try to rip her to pieces, being that she is one of the sweetest, most real muscians out there! People come on, she wants to take a stand a write and sing music that comes from her, that she can feel, not some hand me downs from other artist. So she has had artistic disagreements with her lable, and she recently has decided to end things with her management team, which the famous “Firm” was on rocky grounds anyways!!! Also how dare people say shes ungrateful or a monster, come on, have you seen her be interviewed? She is the most humble artist out there. The bottom line is that the media is making a really big deal about all the most negative publicity, because thats as much as they have been able to get out of her in the past 5 years, so they are using every ounce of information they recieve to use against her. COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP!! KELLY CLARKSON IS THE REAL THING!!! Clive Davis Knows, Simon Cowell knows, Heck THE WORLD KNOWS, so Just leave Kelly Clarkson alone, and let her do what she loves and what she does best, and that is SING!!!
Sincerely,
Chicago’s #1 Kelly Clarkson Fan

Thank God Kelly Clarkson isn’t just another mindless idiot who’d prince around in booty shorts to get attention from the public. She is a REAL and TRUE artist and musician that is mainstream and all people do is to convert her into a trophy to be displayed. I think she represents all those artist out there that we never hear about yet or gifted and talented artists who really struggle to make it.
It speaks volumes about her recording company that they would even want her to promote herself in the Idol Gives Back CHARITY event. Why the hell would she sing a song about herself when obviously there are bigger problems at hand. Her recording label is giving her so much CRAP for the decisions she makes. Her song, “Up to the Mountain”, was by far, in my opinion, the BEST performance that night. And now she’s having to struggle to get HER CD the way she wants it while RCA is just trying to capitalize off of her image and status in this world. I already own her CD and it exceeded my expectations by a mile and it should not have been done any other way.
It’s nice and refreshing to have someone in this business to actually dare to be who she really is.
