I think that's just a rumor though... the record company wouldn't release anything if they didn't think it would be profitable.

YEP! I heard that too!

Prior to the album's release, sources reported that Clive Davis, the head of Sony-BMG, was dissatisfied with the album. Davis reportedly wanted Clarkson to make significant changes to the album, with some rumors claiming that he even wanted to delete the entire album, and have her record all new material. Clarkson reportedly refused to change any of the material. Initially, these reports were denied by representatives for both RCA and Clive Davis, with Davis specifically stating that Clarkson is "one of the top four artists at Sony-BMG" and wanted to ensure that she is treated as such.

Narvel Blackstock, Reba McEntire's husband, has since been hired by Kelly as her personal manager. In regards to her cancelled tour, disappointing ticket sales were acknowledged as a factor, and Clarkson stated that it (touring) was "too much too soon".Following the dismissal of her manager and cancelling her tour, Clarkson appeared in an issue of Elle Magazine, where it was revealed that Davis offered Clarkson $10 million dollars to remove five songs from the album in favor of five more radio friendly songs of Davis' choosing - including "Black Hole" which appeared on Lindsay Lohan's album, A Little More Personal (Raw). Clarkson refused the offer, and stated that:

“ I am a good singer, so I can't possibly be a good writer. Women can't possibly be good at two things. I haven't lost my temper about it. It only drives me more. If your thing is to bring me down, cool. I'll just work harder."

I also heard that her label didn't promote her cd , because they said, they were giving her a " lesson". I personaly love this cd , the lyrics are more deeper, like sober, that almost made me cry Of course i love Breakaway cd too, but i think it's unfair how her laber & manager didn't like the cd because it was darker , i'm on kelly's side and i hope that she changes her label and find someone who truly values her!
