Kelly Clarkson album scrapping rumours false?
A follow up to this post. Apparently, Kelly Clarkson Express, and Miss Clarkson herself have written them off as incorrect.
RCA SUPPORTS KELLY: Despite rumor-mongering from the U.K. Daily Star and other online sources, there is no dispute between Kelly Clarkson and the RCA Music Group. These rumors began after the SBMG International meetings in Las Vegas a couple of weeks back and were based on an inaccurate report about Clive Davis' presentation of Kelly's new LP at the confab. Sources who were there insist the chatter is not true. In fact, Davis specifically stated that Kelly is “one of the top four artists at Sony BMG” and wanted to ensure that she is treated as such. There are absolutely no plans to scrap the LP. Meanwhile, Richard Palmese's promo team is working round the clock to deliver Kelly's first single, “Never Again,” to trigger the release of what all are convinced is a chart-topping album. (5/4p)

"Rumors, Rumors, Rumors......
I already posted earlier this week that Kelly's CD will drop this summer, and it will drop as Kelly would want it to. No Changes. I posted that after speaking to 2 of my contacts on both sides of Kelly's camp. I asked you all to continue requesting, be patient, and stop listening to the rumors.
With the new CD scrapped thread, I thought I should call again. I just got off the phone with one of my contacts, and nothing has changed. The research on NA is excellent. They are really pleased that she was #8 on the Hot 100, and #8 without any promo. Kelly herself has told us all in radio interviews that the CD is going to drop in summer, so please listen to her, if you don't want to believe me. The only reason a date has not been anounced is because they are still finalizing a few things, and deciding what week will be the best week to drop the CD. They don't want to give a date now, just in case it needs to be changed again. Everyone is now excited about the CD, and are definately behind Kelly's music 100%. I guess they decided they like the Pat Benatar sound.
The internet is an awesome tool, but it can also be like a bad cancer spreading. I would ask that if you see any of these rumors on another site, to not bring it over to the Express. There are many DJ's, Bloggers, etc, that come to the Express to catch up on anything new in Kelly's career/life, and if they read it here, they might think it's true, and spread the rumor, just as you are doing. Spreading these rumors, isn't helping Kelly at all.
The rumors started with a certain Producer/writer posting on another board. Very unprofessional on his part. His post have been sent to someone by me, and his karma will hopefully be returned.
Now the rumor has reached radio stations. I would love to know the radio stations that are spreading this rumor. If anyone has heard it on their local radio station, please reply to this thread, with the city, and station. Just in case I'm asked, I would like to be able to give that information out. In the meantime, when you're calling your local station to request NA, you might want to add that the rumor they have reported is not a fact.
I know we all love Kelly, and are concerned, but I will say again, listening to the rumors, posting them here, you're only adding fuel to the fire.
PLEASE BE PATIENT, and continue to request NA!!!!!"

I didn't believe the whole thing to begin with. I couldn't see how they would let the album get so far in to post-production, release a single with a video, and set dates for a "My December" tour, only to scrap it. Good news for Kelly fans in any case.
