Italy's singing nun, who wowed millions with her rousing pop covers, has won the The Voice of Italy. Sister Cristina Scuccia first catapulted to fame after her amazing rendition of Alicia Keys' "No One" during a blind audition in March went viral, racking up more than 50 million views.
Dressed in her nun outfit and rocking a crucifix around her neck, Scuccia was crowned champion of the Italian singing show last night after winning 62.3 percent of the vote. "My presence here is not up to me, it's thanks to the man upstairs," she said in Italian. Watch the winning moment below. -- Jordan Valinsky
