Kelly Clarkson Says God Sent An Angel To Send Her To Showbiz

Angel-voiced Kelly Clarkson — whose post-"American Idol" career has had its hellish moments — has told friends she once got a visit from a mysterious elderly gent whom she believes was her guardian angel sent from heaven above!

“When Kelly was a kid, she nervously sang at a school talent show, something she’d never done before,” a source told The National ENQUIRER. “She hadn’t ever stepped foot onto a stage."

"Afterward, an ancient soul appeared out of thin air, telling Kelly that singing was her special calling," the source said. "He said she’d create beautiful music for the rest of her life — because it was what she was meant to do!

"It was the first time she’d been praised for her talent," the source said of young Kelly, now a mother of two. "But when Kelly turned for a moment, he simply vanished! She asked everyone at school, ‘Who was that old man? Is he someone’s grandpa?’" said the source. "But no one knew of him!”
