Kelly Clarkson has apologized to Clive Davis for comments she made concerning his musical and business acumen.
Posting July 23 on her web site, the 2002 American Idol winner said "I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family. Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it's respect and admiration that will keep us together."
For months, the 25-year-old Clarkson has been embroiled in a dispute with Clive Davis. One of the most influential figures in contemporary pop, the 75-year-old music mogul oversees Clarkson's record label RCA.
