‘Sister Act 3’?
The new star of "The Voice of Italy" needed no divine intervention to impress the judges with her rendition of Alicia Keys' track "No One" -- all she relied on was her "God-given talent."
Sister Cristina, an Italian nun from Sicily, became a national star and YouTube sensation this week after she wowed four judges during her audition for Italy's version of "The Voice." Wearing a traditional habit and cross around her neck, Sister Cristina belted out the pop ballad while fellow nuns cheered her on from the sidelines.
"If I had found you at Mass I would always be in church," one of the panelists commented, reports the New York Daily News. "You and me are like the devil and holy water."
The performance got Sister Cristina a spot on the show, and she will move forward to the battle rounds. In addition to making her mark on the competition, the young nun is also hoping the publicity will get the attention of her boss.
She remarked, "I hope that Pope Francis will call me now."
Sister Cristina just needs Whoopi, and she could take this show on the road.
