A nun who dazzled the audience in Italy’s “The Voice” in 2014 has stated that she has left the church and is now working as a waiter in Spain. Sister Cristina Scuccia of Sicily stunned the judges, including the late Raffaella Carrà, with her passionate rendition of the classic song “No One” by Alicia Keys during a blind audition for the reality show. Carrà had remarked, “I couldn’t speak for several minutes,” after realising the amazing voice belonged to a nun.
Scuccia declared on an Italian talk show that she has left the nunhood
The Ursuline Sisters of the Holy Family convent in Milan was where Scuccia was a nun at the time. She eventually went on to win the competition, and she even afterwards created an album that she gave Pope Francis. Scuccia declared on an Italian talk show on Sunday night that she has left the nunhood eight years later. When Scuccia appeared on the chat show, she drastically altered her appearance from when she last appeared in “The Voice.”
Dressed in a red pant-suit and high heels, with a pierced nose and long dark hair flowing freely, she told the Verissimo programme, “I believe that you need to listen to your heart with courage. Change is a sign of evolution, but it is always scary because it is easier to anchor oneself to one’s certainties rather than question oneself. Is there a right or wrong?”
She had not renounced her faith
Scuccia may have left nunhood but she added that she had not renounced her faith and that she was still chasing her dream of a career in music. “I chose to follow my heart without thinking about what people would say about me,” she added. “I took a leap of faith and was worried about ending up under a bridge, I always repeated this to my psychologist.
