Just heard it now and it was unworthy for the Pope’s ear. The lyrics were changed, and the new ones had nothing to do with Catholic doctrine. Also, her voice was not made for Schubert. Sorry”

Anthony, did you know that two days before the event Kelly changed the way she was going to sing the song? Kelly was going to sing the traditional Latin arrangement, but she was told of The Pope’s favorite rendition, and she learned that just a day or so before and she sang it for him.

OMgosh people. Did you think she was going to perform like it was the Superbowl or something to that effect? Give the girl some major credit! She has a wide range and pulled it off beautifully. Anyone that said she was a bad choice….well, they were wrong. Besides that, I’m sure the fact that she also has a great reputation within the music industry played a major part as well. Very well done Kelly!!! You were fabulous!

Actually I take back what I said. She was very good, didn’t try to change the tune.

Kelly’s fans are at it again.They are trashing Celine Dion’s version of Ave Maria. Do they ever stop putting down other artists? Lately they worried about the possible success of Leona Lewis and went after her with a vengeance. They can’t stand the fact that Carrie Underwood is doing so well, so they make snide comments about her all the time. Give it up already.

I was very impressed bt the end of this performance; I have heard this sung by other artists and at first was doubtful that it would be sung successfully. It was. Kelly Clarkson did a great job,I had no idea that she had that range

Kelly Clarkson singing Ave Maria for the Pope made me a little weepy. What a great honor and she seemed honestly moved by the whole experience. Great job and what a special moment, I hope she remembers it and she has gained a fan in me for life.

“Kelly’s voice wasn’t worthy for the Popes ears?”Please not everyone has the opportunity to sing nor to meet the Pope she was chosen out of many performers.She did a fine job, Who are we to judge others or to hate on others triumphs.Isn’t that what the Catholic religion shows us????
