Kelly Clarkson plays down feud rumours
Kelly Clarkson has played down rumours of a feud with Sony BMG chief Clive Davis.

The Since U Been Gone singer reportedly clashed with Davis over her new album My December, when he claimed that it would not be as successful as 2004's Breakaway. She was later advised by Simon Cowell to end the conflict and show her respect for the music mogul's advice.

"A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context," Kelly explained on her website.

"Contrary to recent characterisations in the press, I'm well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so.

"I really regret how this has turned out and I apologise to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone."
