Kelly Clarkson wants to make up with Clive Davis

American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson has taken her mentor Simon Cowell's advice and made steps to repair her relationship with her record label boss Clive Davis with a message on her website.

Simon Cowell, who helped discover Kelly Clarkson on the hit reality TV talent show 'American Idol', publicly advised the singer to stop feuding with the music business legend in a recent TV interview after she fell out with Davis over criticism of her new album My December.

Kelly fought back, attacking Davis in a recent edition of Blender magazine - but now she's keen to find a way to get back into the music mogul's good graces.

The Message from Kelly's website says:

"There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the release of "My December," much of which has focused on a supposed feud with my record label, in particular, Clive Davis. I want to set the record straight on this by saying that I want my band, my advisor's, 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. A lot has been made in the press about my relationship with Clive. Much of this has been blown way out of proportion and taken out of context. Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I'm well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key advisor and has been 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. I really regret how this has turned out and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone. I love music, and I love the people I am blessed to work with. I am happy that my team is behind me and I look forward to the future."
