Singing nun a front-runner as she heads into finals of Italy’s “The Voice” TV talent show
ROME – A singing nun who has charmed audiences across Italy with romping renditions of Alicia Keys’ “No One” and Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” heads into the finals of a TV talent show as an unusual front-runner.
With her full habit, sensible shoes and cheering nuns in her camp, Sister Cristina Scuccia made it to Thursday’s finals of the Italian version of “The Voice” after capturing attention — and millions of YouTube viewers — with her first round performance in March.
In that show, “The Voice” judges couldn’t see Scuccia, making their selection all the more surprising once they turned their chairs around and found the 25-year-old nun belting out the Keys classic.
Scuccia said Wednesday that even if she wins, her religious superiors would decide her future.
