Biting the Hand That Feeds

What's the deal with Kelly Clarkson refusing to let contestants on American Idol use her songs on the show? Not that I think that this show is the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything, but it seems like gratitude isn't in her vocabulary. Kudos to you Kelly Clarkson...you've been given a wheelbarrel of money...fame...and don't even feel like helping the other poor saps that think they can follow in your footsteps by allowing them to sing your songs. Guess, they will have to look for other material...is William Hung out there???? Maybe they can sing his version of "She Bangs..."
