3	Cristina Scuccia (also known as Suor Cristina, Italian for "Sister Christina"; born 19 August 1988) is an Italian singer and former Ursuline nun who won the 2014 season of ''[[Series/TheVoice The Voice Italy]]''. She first gained prominence for performing "No One" by Music/AliciaKeys, partly due to the novelty of a nun participating in a pop music competition. Cristina chose to be part of Team J-Ax, and wore her usual nun's habit throughout the contest. In the final, she won the trophy with 62% of the Italian votes against runner-up Giacomo Voli. After winning, she thanked God and recited the Lord's Prayer to the show organizers and audience.

5	Her victory during the 2014 season of ''The Voice Italy'' landed her a contract with Universal, during which she released her debut album ''Sister Cristina''. While the lead single–a cover of Music/{{Madonna}}'s SignatureSong "Like A Virgin"–raised eyebrows due to its previously sexually provocative nature, Scuccia defended her use of the song as she interpreted it in a more spiritual light i.e. a person's relationship with God. "Like A Virgin" was then followed by the single "Blessed Be Your Name".

While some have understandably been [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qr6S-HyoO0 upset]] by her sudden exit from her vocation in favour of a worldly pursuit, Scuccia assured her fans that she hasn't renounced her faith either.

19	!!She's associated with the following tropes:
20	----
21	* ChristianRock
22	* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: She subverted "Like A Virgin" by performing it as a softer, downtempo ballad and interpreting it as about one's relationship with God as opposed to the innuendo most people associate with the Madonna single.
23	* CoverVersion: Most of her output is this, particularly "Like A Virgin".
24	* GodIsLoveSongs: Her interpretation of "Like A Virgin", in that she views it as about her relationship with God.
25	* LimitedWardrobe: Being how a nun like her is expected to wear her habit all the time. Later averted upon her departure from the Ursuline order.
26	* NunsAreFunny: Her success as a pop-rock act was partly due to the novelty of being a singing nun, which inevitably drew comparisons to ''Film/SisterAct''.
27	* SofterAndSlowerCover: "Like A Virgin", which Scuccia turned into a more heartfelt ballad.
