Kelly Clarkson sings Ave MariaI have rarely heard a voice much like that one; soaring into the early evening air; full-throated, beautiful as stars at midnight. American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson's warm-up act before Pope Benedict arrived at today's (Saturday) youth rally in Yonkers was nothing to write home about but her closing act: Whoa. By 7 p.m., it was almost over. Then Kelly Clarkson, 25, who had changed out of a black dress from her previous act into a demure blue frock, began to belt out the well-known words of "Ave Maria." She was so magnificent, that afterwards the crowd roared and even Benedict stood to greet here. Miss Clarkson, by the way, attends a Baptist church. video1.washingtontimes.com/papalvisit/2008/04/kelly_clarkson_sings_ave_maria_1.html

Well it's not really fair to compare Kelly to Celine. I think Celine's is vocally better, but her version doesn't make this one any less impressive.

Her performance was fantastic! I was glad it gave her a chance to remind people how amazing of a singer she is. I'm looking forward to the new CD! :)

I don't think any other top 40 female artist could give that performance at this point in time. Awesome job.

I just saw this. OMG, that was awesome. I so wasn't expecting that ending. Now if they had just showed Kelly a bit more than the Pope guy...

What I cant believe is that there are some people who actually said that she didnt sound good at all. I still cant believe her voice can go that high.

Honestly, other than of course Celine, I do not think any other non-opera/popera female artist from any genre could deliver as grand or grander a performance, although I think Beyonce and Katharine McPhee would do good job....

That performance is ... wow... amazing, i can't find the words to describe it. She reminded everyone that she's one of the best singers of her generation. I can't think of any other pop singer that could sing that song like that. I'm so proud of her and i'm so proud of being her fan.

I hadn't ever heard "Ave Maria" before, and I didn't really like it, but she sounded amazing, and I think that's all that counts.
Kinda disappointed she didn't hit the high note on SUBG though.
Other than that, loved the performances. :)

Kelly never lost it... her critic would have people believe that her voice is gone but tonight she proved that not only is her voice still as amazing as ever, it might just be better!
The ending was awe inspiring! I can't think of even one singer who could perform to that caliber! Amazing, just amazing.

WOW, i loved her mini concert performance and then to wake up feeling like a pile of rubbish to hear her sing Ave Maria, a song that has a lot of personal sentiment to me was just amazing, i had chills down my back throughout the whole performance and when she kept going at the end was proof that Kelly Clarkson, really is not only the best singer to come from a "singing contest" like American Idol, but one of the best vocalists of her generation

The demos were great, one day is my favourite by far though but i love close your eyes, and ready... Breakaway was great, but my december was f*cking incredible. If her next album is even close to my december it will be fantastic. I dont care about sales, i dont think kelly does either.

I thought Kelly sounded beautiful. I don't think she's the only female pop star who could pull this off -- I think Christina Aguilera could. But Kelly did a great job.

But Kelly did a great job. yea i agree with you but the only thing i dont like about christina's voice is that she like does this weird thing when she hits they high notes. Like its not smooth.

That was absolutely breathtaking. Just wow. Certainly the most versatile singer of our generation, if not the best.

Christina wouldn't be able to pull "Ave Maria" off. Her singing style is the exact opposite from what's required to properly perform this song.
