Sister Cristina - The Voice Italy - an unusual song

This video made the rounds on the 'net not long ago, but I'm putting this first post here as a refresher. Here is her audition, song is in English, but the conversation is in Italian. There are English subtitles.

Sister Cristina went on to win that competition. Her debut CD is set to drop on November 11th.

The first single and video were released......a cover of Madonna's "Like A Virgin".

Sister Cristina claims she only had the purest of intentions when she chose the track. “"Reading the text, without being influenced by previous interpretations, you discover that it is a song about the power of love to renew people [and] rescue them from their past,”" the nun told Italian newspaper Avvenire.

“"We have transformed this song from the pop-dance piece, which it was, into a romantic ballad ... something more similar to a lay prayer than to a pop piece,"” she added. Both videos are set in Venice, but while the American singer rolled around sensually in a gondola, the nun sings in various landmarks wearing a habit. Scuccia said she did not think Madonna had heard her rendition, adding: "“I’'d like to see her face when they tell her it’s a nun singing.”"
