Yall Dumb as hell to think Clive Davis does not know what he's talking about. Its not about being arrogant , he knows his shit. The artist that he suggested they sgould not write look where they are now.Once upon a time under his leadership they were unstoppable forces in music and now well.... He comes fro the old school model -Artist -Producer-song writers-etc. He didn't let Whitney Houston write and she had an amazing career even though she probably is missing out on a shit load of royalties and publishing . But in the end he knows better.
