About half an hour ago (maybe more, depends when this gets approved), Kelly Clarkson took to her blog to write an open letter to Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta in response to what he said here.
Wow … Dear Scott Borchetta,
I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why its upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’. Thank you for that ‘Captain Obvious’ sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is “I’ll kick butt next time” or “every performance isn’t going to be perfect” ……I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ‘humble’ opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won’t go according to plan or work out and that’s okay.
Sincerely,
One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes

My comment was more defending Kelly :) she's actually good. Oh and there's another comment. Does Taylor even write any of her music? I know Kelly is actually involved heavily in hers and fought the label hard for that opportunity - just to have her music take off even better as a result. But point being....... Mr. Record Label Guy calls Taylor a "communicator" hahahaha. Sorry. She has always bugged me for some reason.
