Kelly Clarkson is making the rounds promoting her new album. She recently stopped by Z100 for an interview with Mo' Bounce, where she had this to say about Dr. Luke (who is famously involved in the never-ending Kesha lawsuit), as reprinted by E! News:
"There's a lot of times in my career where you don't see my name on a song. Sometimes I don't write them, but a lot of times I do change the song in a way that probably you should ask for credit, but I don't because the song was already great. I just made it more me and I think a lot of artists steal credit a lot from writers, which I think is super crappy because that's their livelihood.
I did deserve it on that song [with Dr. Luke] just because I changed it a bit, but I really just didn't—especially at that time, I was so frustrated that I was forced to work...basically, they were going to sit on my record unless I did what they wanted and I was so frustrated because I literally said, 'Anyone in the world but [Dr. Luke]. I will work with anyone you want to put in my path.'
I just had a negative experience. The guy is super talented. I'm not negating that. That's a fact, obviously...I don't want my name near his. I don't even want—I want to pretend this didn't happen in my life and I want to forget it.
There's hundreds of thousands of dollars gone because of that...or millions actually. That song was huge. I was making a point to the people working with me going, 'This is how much I didn't want to do this.' I don't care about the money. I don't care about, 'Oh, you're going to be the most famous person ever if you do this.' That's not what holds weight in my life."
