Throughout the contest, she wore a simple crucifix around her neck, black shoes and ankle-length black religious habit.[citation needed] During the show, she sang "The Cup of Life" alongside Ricky Martin and during the final, she sang a duet with Kylie Minogue on "Can't Get You Out of My Head".[citation needed] In the final, she won the trophy with 62% of the Italian votes against runner-up Giacomo Voli.[citation needed] After winning, she thanked God and recited the Lord's Prayer to the show organizers and audience.[7]
