A singing nun who won the Italian version of the The Voice
has released a cover of Madonna's Like a Virgin for her debut single.
Sister Cristina Scuccia, who won the singing contest in
June, says she chose the song herself "without any intention to provoke or
shock", but says she is ready for any criticism. "It's a song about
the ability of love to make people new. To redeem them from their past. And
that's how I wanted to interpret it," she tells the Catholic newspaper
Avvenire.
Far from copying the original upbeat pop song, the
26-year-old Sicilian has turned the track into a ballad. And where Madonna's
video saw her writhing around in a Venetian gondola while apparently being
pursued by a lion, the Italian's effort is a more sedate affair. Sister
Cristina says she doesn't think Madonna has heard this new take on her song.
"But I'd love to see her face when she does, and when they tell her it's a
nun singing."
