Humor can sometimes get lost in translation during interviews.

Case in point: Kelly Clarkson is not a music industry pariah that other singers avoid like the plague. In fact, she has a collaboration with Oscar winner John Legend dropping tomorrow (Feb. 25).

The "Heartbeat Song" singer tweeted she was "joking" when she made comments to BBC Radio 1 about other A-list singers turning her down.

For reference, here's what she told BBC: "I honestly would collaborate with a lot of people, but everyone usually says no. I'm not kidding you. I have legitimately asked several people that I'm not going to call out, and that's cool, but I don't know."

In contrast, here's what Clarkson had to say Tuesday on Twitter:

Ok, I was making a joke about people not singing with me! The press is really twisting this comment just FYI! No big deal. New story please

So yes, get ready for Kelly and John's duet! Piece By Piece isn't far away, either -- it drops March 3 on RCA Records.
