JOHNSTOWN — On Saturday, thousands shuffled in from the cold, blustery night air and packed the Cambria County War Memorial to see pop idol Kelly Clarkson on her 'Stronger' 2012 tour.

Cambria County War Memorial General Manager remarked on how 'eclectic' the crowd was for Clarkson's Johnstown debut - and it was true.

The audience couldn't be defined by age, gender or skin color - possibly a testament to Clarkson's wholesome and universal appeal. Perhaps one would see a boyfriend or husband who'd expectedly "tagged along" - only to find they had high hopes for the American Idol darling's setlist.

The Tribune-Democrat caught up with some avid fans before the show - some even sang their favorite Clarkson tune for us!
