Why Clive Complained

Clive Davis was right. There are no smashes on My December, Kelly Clarkson's 3rd CD. But Clive was wrong. There are good songs on it. Clive is a hit man. The best ears in music history. He wants hits. It does make you wonder why he never told Taylor Hicks his CD had none. Anyway, Clarkson's CD is lacking the big crossover smashes. There are songs that will dot the Itunes singles charts. And with repeated listening's might get in your brain like the best of her previous album. But I hear minor chart hits. Even "Never Again", which is the closest to a smash, loses steam because Clarkson screams too much. But near the end of the album (whoever sequenced this thing should be fired) things pick up. So, what will Clarkson do next. If the album tanks, Clive will demand a return to songwriters-for-hire and want airplay. If the album sells decently(and it won't as much as Thankful), she can say Clive was wrong. Or maybe she'll jump labels and make an anti-Clive song for her followup. Clarkson has the balls. Clive has the ears.
