Dark and spiteful, the not-as-catchy-as-'Breakaway' album annoyed label boss Clive Davis so much he allegedly offered $10-million to trash five of her songs and replace them with ready-made hits by other songwriters.
Kelly stood her ground but fell way short of her goal of an artistic masterpiece like Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska.' The buzz kill from the label controversy and middling first single neutralized fan enthusiasm.
Poor Kelly, it only got worse: she also fired her manager after having to cancel her stadium tour due to low ticket sales.
