Clarkson: 'I'm no pushover'

Kelly Clarkson refused to scrap material for her latest album My December on the orders of label boss Clive Davis, because she didn't want to be a "pushover".

The Because Of You singer - whose new LP sold 291,000 copies in its first week of release - was offered $10m (€7.2m) from executives at her record labels RCA and Sony BMG to record new tracks, because they feared her own songwriting might not generate as many hits as her two previous releases.
