There are some talents that people have that can only be described as God-given. When hearing the beautiful singing voice of Father Ray Kelly, one can't help but think it is a true gift from God!
Before taking the stage to audition for "Britain's God Talent," Father Kelly spent his days worshipping at St. Brigid's and St. Mary's parish at Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland.
Though Father Kelly spends most of his time honoring God, he spends the rest of his time singing whenever he can! When he shared his gifts with friends and loved ones, they encouraged him to audition for the reality competition, and that's how he ended up going before the judges!
Father Kelly decided to perform "Everybody Hurts" by REM during his audition, and as he began to sing, the judges were immediately transfixed by his talent.
As soon as Father Kelly finished his song, the crowd went wild for him, letting him know that they had fallen totally in love with him. It was clear that Father Kelly had won the crowd over with his smooth yet powerful voice, a rare combination these days. The only question was, would the judges feel the same way about him?
