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.”
