organwerke Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 This is how she explained the curious choice of this song: “I chose ‘Like a Virgin’ because I wanted it to bear witness to God’s power to move all things! I see it as GOD’S TOUCH, when he called me to a new life, giving me back the purity and dignity of being his Daughter and being Loved by Him. And that’s the way it will be till the end of time!†– Sister Cristina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DameAgnes Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I like her, but the song/video, kind of meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah, I didn't like her singing even when I saw her on the show. I mean, it was cool and all that a nun went on the show. I think it was good witness. But she has the problem a lot of non-native English-speaking singers have: She exaggerates pronunciations and notes. It's annoying.

Spem in alium Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I quite like her voice, and will be interested in hearing the album. Wasn't really excited by this song or video, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed!and to me,as Italian,it's annoying to listen italian singers always singing in English...! Edited October 23, 2014 by organwerke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to hear her singing in Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmelshrimp Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What the good sister does is naturally a matter for herself and her order, but I confess to certain reservations about the entire enterprise. It doesn't really raise the profile of religious life since the vast majority of people who enter it are unlikely to find themselves taking part in a national talent competition - in fact we might be forgiven for supposing that the business of competing in something like that might pose something of a distraction. The making of programmes and filming of videos is the work of days, not hours, after all. As for the choice of song - :paperbag: Sometimes I think "Sister Act" has a lot to answer for. I shall now go and hang my grumpy and cynical outfit on its peg and practise smiling at people :hehe2: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was good witness. But she has the problem a lot of non-native English-speaking singers have: She exaggerates pronunciations and notes. It's annoying. I personally never thought she was that good. Her voice has a really irritating sound it makes when she sings high notes, and seeing as how she pretty much sings all high notes, it makes me incapable of listening to her.

Lilllabettt Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I liked it. The arrangement is a big improvement on the original, I think. I like sister's voice alright. Madonna wasn't no Whitney houston you know. the video was meh, but frankly friends, music videos are ridiculous and its difficult to shoot one that doesn't end up with something of the ridiculous.
