Clarkson Deals With 'American Idol' Past

PASADENA, Calif. -- Singer Kelly Clarkson, who vaulted to fame as the first "American Idol" winner in 2002, is now apparently refusing to let any of her songs be used by new contestants on the show.

A spokesman for Clarkson insisted it's nothing personal, but the stance prompted a public scolding from "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell.

"I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there," Cowell said on Tuesday.

Clarkson has become a major star in the past year, with her hit "Since U Been Gone" earning both massive sales and critical respect, particularly from a rock community that has looked upon "American Idol" contestants warily. Her album "Breakaway" earned a Grammy nomination for best pop vocal album.

Yet it may have cost her a good relationship with the nation's most popular talent show.

"American Idol" must obtain permission from owners of song licenses before the music can be used on the show. While many love the exposure, some artists -- the Beatles, for one -- like to rigidly control use of their music.

Clarkson is not allowing any of her songs to be licensed for other uses, said Roger Widynowski, a spokesman for Sony BMG. "It has nothing to do with `Idol,'" he said.

The show's executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, said he spoke to Clarkson's manager on Friday and the manager said he was unaware of the situation. He said he's waiting for a call back.

Before "Breakaway," Clarkson fired Simon Fuller, the "American Idol" creator, as her manager, saying that although he was a "great guy," she needed someone who could give her career more attention. She teamed with Swedish hitmaker Max Martin on "Since U Been Gone."

It's the same delicate position faced by countless other musicians through show biz history, wanting to break away and show artistic independence without alienating those who gave them their start.

Cowell said he hoped Clarkson would let her music be used on "American Idol."

"No matter how talented Kelly Clarkson is, she would not be in the position she's in now without winning this show," he said. "And forget the way she feels about us or the producers or anybody else, or the terrible songwriters she alleges she was with which sold her millions of records.

"It's the public who bothered to pick up the phone to vote for her," he said. "If she refuses to give songs to be used on the show, it's like saying to every person who voted for you, `you know what? Thank you. I'm not interested in you anymore.'"

With the seemingly unquenchable public interest in "American Idol," it's not like the show really needs Clarkson. But she's plainly the best example producers can point to in proving how they can open the door to wish fulfillment.

Widynowski said he would not comment on Cowell's remarks.

For his part, Cowell said, "I don't like this, when they walk away from the show and kind of forget."

Kelly Clarkson Denies Fight Over Songs

Kelly Clarkson, who won the first American Idol title in 2002, is denying that she's battling the show's producers over the use of her songs.

"Kelly Clarkson was happy to hear her song 'Since You've Been Gone' on America Idol last night. As far as she is concerned, there is no conflict between her and the TV show," the singer's spokesperson tells PEOPLE. "She intended all along to license additional material to the show and will do so when asked and within reason."

According to producers for the FOX show, which kicked off its fifth season on Tuesday, they've had trouble reaching a financial agreement with Clarkson to allow contestants to sing her songs.

Tart-tongued judge Simon Cowell weighed in on the controversy saying, "It sounds to me that someone is being difficult and I don't like that."

Clarkson is up for two Grammy awards next month. Still, "No matter how talented Kelly Clarkson is, she would not be in the position she's in now without winning this show," added Cowell.

Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe said the show hopes to come to terms with Clarkson's reps. And Clarkson's manager Jeff Rabhan says she would never snub the show that launched her career.

"We are negotiating for a fair-market value," says Rabhan. "Nobody is more proud of where she comes from than Kelly Clarkson."

Qui croire dans cette histoire?

De un on a entendu une fille chanter "Since U Been Gone" hier soir donc...

Et puis je voit pas qu'est-ce que ca ferait que ses chanson joue a American Idol. Si Kelly est vraiment frustrer pour cette raison je trouverais sa un peu stupide, mais bon je préfére croire Kelly plutot que les producteurs...

Je suis certain que Kelly en savait rien. Se qui fache les producteurs de AI est que ils ne peuvent plus controler les chansons de Kelly comme lorsqu'elle était avec eux. Comme elle a une nouvelle équipe de gérence, 19E doit faire la demande a son équipe de gérence avant de diffuser une chanson de Kelly. C'est absolutement normal.

Kelly est devenu une artiste a part entière et doit maintenant être respecté ainsi. Elle n'est plus la propriété de 19E ! --Message edité par Music Man le 2006-01-19 22:22:34--
