Kelly Clarkson sings Ave Maria

Kelly Clarkson, the first “American Idol”, performed “Ave Maria” for Pope Benedict XVI and thousands of Catholics and devotees at the Saint Joseph Seminary. Kelly was quoted as saying,”I was so excited to be asked to sing for the Pope. It’s always been a dream of mine to perform Ave Maria.”

“To have that dream come true on such a special occasion is truly a blessing.”

Imagine singing in front of the Pope – I would be shitting bricks! Way to go Kelly!!!

I loved her performance. Here is another performance from the youth rally – Kelly is singing “Up to the Mountain”
