Kelly Clarkson's Songwriting Deception and American Idol Drama
Kelly Clarkson revealed on Watch What Happens Live that she was "lied to" about the song "Since U Been Gone." Clarkson explained that she was initially told to write lyrics for the unfinished song, but when she arrived in Sweden to work with producers Max Martin and Dr. Luke, she discovered they had already written the song without her knowledge. This revelation has left Clarkson with a "bad vibe" about the track. Clarkson has had a complicated relationship with media mogul Clive Davis, who claimed in his memoir that she didn't want to release the song, a claim she has disputed. Despite the song's baggage, Clarkson is able to compartmentalize and still performs it passionately.
