Kelly Clarkson Sings Ave Maria For The Pope

Kelly Clarkson Sings Ava Maria For The Pope

If I had to guess, I would say Kelly Clarkson's target audience doesn't normally include the Pope.  Until now that is.  As the Pope and onlookers gathered at a NY rally, Kelly performed her rendition of Ava Maria. If he didn't have it already, I'm sure he'll be downloading her music on his MP3 player as soon as he gets back to the Vatican.  Dotspotter user GabbyBabble has the story.

 

 

Yesterday the first winner of American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, sang "Ava Maria" for Pope Benedict XVI who is now visiting in New York. The picture at the top is the Pope in his Popemobile in Fifth Ave yesterday.


Kelly Clarkson performance was okay, but nothing can be compared to the amazing "Ava Maria" performance of Bono and Pavarotti.   Check out the video!

  • I at first did not see her name as the performer, and the cameras were not on her so I didn't expect to hear her wonderful voice. OK it wasn't Pavarotti but why would he be the voice at a youth rally? I'm in my fifties and I thought she added a...

  • Does she know the proper translation of the text???? Beautiful voice, but I think she missed the meaning.

  • She has a great voice but, you cannot take it from Pavarotti. It was a little to fast, but anytime a song can give your body chills and make you smile, well done. Kelly Clarkson. Thats why you are an american idol.
