Text: talent shows are big time again on television with billions of viewers. They seem to be 24/7 – in a different language at any point in time around the globe.

Suor Cristina is a real life nun and her audition singing ‘Noone’ by Alicia Keys quickly went viral on the web – with tens of millions of views in a couple of days.
