Kelly Clarkson has posted a message on her official website calling record label boss Clive Davis “one of the great record men of all time” and “an important force in my success to date.”

It would seem Kelly Clarkson and Clive Davis have patched things up and overcome their creative differences regarding her new album, “My December.”

On her website, the former American Idol winner wrote that she wishes to “set the record straight” about “a supposed feud” with Clive Davis. Kelly writes that she wants “my band, my advisors, those close to me and my record label to be one big, tightly knit family.

“Like any family we will disagree and argue sometimes but, in the end, it's respect and admiration that will keep us together.”

She goes on to say that the press misconstrued her “relationship” with Clive, taking it out of context.

Here she is probably referring to her words about Clive Davis in a USA Weekend interview: “I’m going to be real honest with you: I am not a fan (of Davis) ... I do respect him, but I don't want to barbecue with him. We don't braid each other's hair. And, despite the rumors, he is nowhere near a father figure.”

In her new message, she says she is aware that Clive is “one of the great record men of all time” and calls him a “key advisor” and an “important force in my success to date.”

“He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so,” Kelly adds. “I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone.”

“My December” was originally meant to be released in April. There were creative differences though between Kelly and Davis, the latter reportedly dissatisfied with the album’s darker sound. Kelly insisted that the album be left as it was and it finally reached stores on June 26. It debuted at number two in the US chart.

Kelly, 25, is the first American Idol winner (2002). In 2006, she won two Grammy Awards for her hit single “Since U Been Gone” and her multi-platinum second album “Breakaway.”
