In
March 2014, during the blind auditions, Sister Cristina dazzled the jury with
her voice. It took them few seconds to turn and discover that behind this pure
voice is a nun.
Sister Cristina got the chance to
share the stage with Kylie Minogue and Ricky Martin. Performing from Bon Jovi
and Alicia Keys’ repertoire and dancing in her nun black habit and crucifix
around her neck, the Sister caught the audience’s attention and support. With
62.3% of the voices, she was declared a winner of a contract with Universal
Studios. But the young talented nun, who reminded many of us of Sister Act,
isn’t looking to pursue a singing career. She had a gift and wanted to share it
with the audience.
Sister
Cristina took bravely the criticism of many conservative spectators. She was
blessed by more people cheering and voting for her.
She
was also blessed by her coach. J-Ax and Sister Cristina’s relationship was a
beautiful message about how the world should embrace the differences: “I want to live in an Italy like
this: where I — an atheist rapper, can showcase, with all due respect, a nun
being embraced by an Italian with Mauritian roots. I want to live in this kind
of Italy”, said the coach.
We, too, want to live in this kind of
world…
