Clive Davis Says Kelly Should Follow Celine’s Path
Access Hollywood caught up with J Records chief Clive Davis who weighed in on Kelly Clarkson’s win on ‘American Idol’ on Wednesday. Clive said, “I really think that Kelly was the rightful winner for tonight.” He did temper some of the praise given during the competition though. “There’s no one there who’s a Whitney Houston. There’s no one there that’s a Barbara Streisand — or the next Aretha Franklin.” Clive suggests Kelly “definitely has special and unique talents. The model for her is the incredible career that Celine Dion has. Kelly needs a team around her who understands her talent — that understands that today, you need edge in order to get on MTV and VH1.”
