It’s official: Pop princess Kelly Clarkson will sing for the pope in Yonkers on April 19.

I’m not a big “American Idol” guy, but I have heard her sing a few times and she has the pipes, as they say. She’ll sing “Ave Maria” for Benedict XVI, which the kids at the big youth rally should love, you would think.

Clarkson, who I understand is Catholic, will also sing at the pre-pope concert at Dunwoodie (where 20,000 youngsters will be assembled for hours before Benedict arrives).

And the next day, at Yankee Stadium, Harry Connick and Jose Feliciano will be among those who perform before the papal Mass.

Connick has apparently written a piece for the ocassion.

The Irish singer Dana, who bills herself as a Catholic, pro-life singer, will also perform at the Stadium.
