Kelly Clarkson refuses to take advice on her music.

The 'I Do Not Hook Up' singer is proud of latest effort 'All I Ever Wanted', particularly because she made all of the decisions about the sound of the record.

She told MTV News: "I'm pretty proud of it. We worked really hard on it - really hard on it. So it's cool when it pays off. I don't ever want to do something I'm not proud of in 10 or 20 years. I want to make music I want to sing and I'm gonna be proud of.

I never want to do the same song twice

"I don't listen to anyone on any records. I listen to myself and my gut."

The singer also said she sticks to a "basic formula" when compiling possible album tracks - but is not afraid to try something new.

She added: "It is about continuing with the formula, but that doesn't mean that you can't try something different. I've produced a song on the album. So we do definitely do different things on the albums, but the basic formula is variety. I never want to do the same song twice. I hate when people do that."
