“We not only hit the high notes, we generally hit the right notes.” — Kelly Clarkson….

After fanning an already blazing firestorm with words like “this is not American Idol” and “This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note,” Taylor Swift’s Big Machine Records CEO met his match in the form of Kelly Clarkson Thursday.

Telling the CEO that American Idol’s “generally hit the right notes,” Clarkson penned an open letter on her blog ….

“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 it’s upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’.”
“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 criticised 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.”
Signing off, Clarkson said: “Sincerely, one of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes.”

Well said Ms. Clarkson….. you got him together…
