Yankee Doodle Cutie

Here's just another reason to love Kelly Clarkson.

As if the original "American Idol" winner wasn't adorable enough, look how cute she looked earlier this afternoon, singing the national anthem prior to the first-ever, regular-season game at Yankee Stadium. Oh, and it must be noted that she sang beautifully, much like she did almost seven years ago — OMG, has it really been that long?! — when she won the first season of "Idol." I've always been a fan of Kelly's — I voted for her every week of that first season — even though I had a friend at the time who said Kelly had "a pig face" ... can you believe that???

You might have noticed I even added a lil' Kelly Clarkson Zootopia '09 widget to the sidebar here on "Sean's Space," as I'm hoping to win tickets to see her there. Keep your fingers crossed...
