I saw this story on PerezHiloton.com. With the success of her first single "Never Again" on Q104, I never would have guessed that there is trouble in paradise for our favorite American Idol. She will be in town at the Q Aug. 12th! CANNOT WAIT.
"Kelly Clarkson has reportedly scrapped her new album after label bosses weren't impressed with the record.
The American Idol alum suffered a scathing attack from Sony BMG chief Clive Davis after he heard the new tracks, reports British newspaper the Daily Star.
A source at the record company tells the paper, "It was an extraordinary presentation. Clive was absolutely merciless in his criticism of Kelly. She's one of the biggest priorities on the label and her new songs were savaged."
We're not sure if the album is scrapped totally but Clarkson herself has spoken out publicly about her labels dislike of her new album.
She produced and wrote the entire album herself, with her touring band.
Gone are the hitmakers that made her last album so good and incredibly successful.
Hopefully she can call Max Martin and some other people and they can add some songs to her as-yet-released new album ASAP!"

Hey Rob!
Glad you're at Q104 - Congrats!
Kelly Clarkson Album Update from TMZ.com:
"Idol" champ Kelly Clarkson has used her music muscle against her record label head, Clive Davis -- and won!
Well-connected record company sources tell TMZ that Clive likes to exercise "creative control" over artist recordings and wasn't happy at all with Kelly's latest album, "My December."
There are unconfirmed reports Clive wanted to shelve the entire album. TMZ has confirmed that the 75-year-old music mogul asked for "significant" changes and wanted to put the brakes on the CD.
But Clarkson wasn't having any of it -- especially since she wrote/co-wrote all the tracks on the record.
Sources tell us that Clarkson stood up to him and flat out refused to give in, and in the end she got her way.
One source told TMZ there is "deep tension" between Clarkson and Davis, adding, "She's definitely upset, but she's not a stupid girl."
"My December" drops July 24. Kelly performed one of the album's tracks on "Today" yesterday.
