"American Idol" star Ruben Studdard and the Honolulu Symphony performed "Let it Rise" at the Word of Life "Gospel Goes Classical" New Year's Eve celebration last night at the church in Kakaako. Studdard sang to a full house, joined by the Rev. Kuna Sepulveda and her daughter Ashley to ring in the New Year. For more on Studdard, see tomorrow's Today section.
