Good for her standing up, but she sounds so aggressive and pressed in this.

No offense but if you bothered to learn the whole situation, you'd realize that you sound incredibly ignorant.
Why shouldn't she be "pressed" and "aggressive" about the situation? How would you like to have a VERY personal project to you ripped to shreds in front of everyone at a convention? And told that you're insignificant and should just "shut up and sing?" ANYONE would have resentment from being belittled that way.
And of course the numbers were terrible in comparison to Breakaway. She had no label support because Clive was deliberately sabotaging her to prove a point. And he is the pressed one for STILL bringing it up to this day and trying to drag her down and make himself look good. As Kelly said, for an album to be certified platinum off ONE single that was officially released in the US, that's pretty damn good. Who knows what could have happened with a proper release and video of follow up singles? There was clear sabotage. Why would you not promote a second single when the first one hit Top 10? Clive feared that there would be success. Then you have a whole issue of other artists fighting to get their way and not listen to their label. He wanted to use Kelly to prove a point.
So stop spewing about her sounding pressed or aggressive. She has every right to be and any sane person would too.
