WATCH: Brazilian nun goes viral for beatboxing on a Catholic TV show
Brazilian nun starts beatboxing on live TV. Image: TikTok screenshot Now this is something you don't see every day. Sister Marizele, a Brazilian nun, has taken the internet by storm after a video of her beatboxing on a Catholic TV show went viral. The clip comes from an episode that aired on Pai Eterno, a Portuguese-language Catholic channel, featuring two nuns and a priest chatting about their ministry work. Dressed in matching light blue skirts and white blouses, the sisters were performing a song when suddenly, Sister Marizele switched gears and started beatboxing like a pro. As if that wasn't enough fun, the second nun, who was simply swaying to the tune, started doing some hip-hop dance moves. Not to be outdone, the priest who was quietly standing in the background joined the impromptu dance party. Even the show's host had to get up and move out of the way to make room for the dancing trio. Video Player is loading.

The video has been reposted everywhere, with people comparing the joyful moment to scenes from the 1992 movie 'Sister Act.' In the movie Sister Mary Clarence, played by Whoopi Goldberg, turns a boring nun's choir into a musical sensation. One person commented, 'They really dropping Sister Act remake in 2025 huh?!' Another wrote, 'I'm loving this real-life ad for Sister Act 3.' But beyond the laughs and beats, viewers appreciated the reminder that nuns and priests had lives and passions before joining the church. 'People seem to forget that before becoming nuns or priests, they were teenagers with a love of music and going out. I love seeing them showing off their amazing talents,' wrote one viewer.

Lift-off at Eurovision as first qualifiers revealed
BASEL - The 2025 Eurovision Song Contest kicked off with a semi-final filled with pyrotechnics, colour and a dramatic sweep of music, from Portuguese guitar ballads to banging Belgian techno. Fifteen acts from across the continent battled on the state-of-the-art stage in Basel for 10 places in Saturday's Eurovision final. After performing action-packed, three-minute set-pieces, their fate was decided not by the 6,500 Eurovision fans packing the St. Jakobshalle arena, but by millions of television viewers. Comedy trio KAJ -- who are from Finland but represent Sweden -- are the bookmakers' hot favourites to win Eurovision this year with their "Bara Bada Bastu" song about the joys of having a sauna. "The Eurovision crowd gave us all their love and support and we could hear them singing along. It's was absolutely everything you could dream of," the group's Kevin Holmstrom said after they made it through to the final. Also through is Estonia's Tommy Cash. He, too, brought a light touch with his wobbly-legged dancing in "Espresso Macchiato" -- an Italian-accented homage to coffee. There was an upset when Belgium's Red Sebastian -- who had risen to third-favourite with several bookmakers -- was eliminated on his 26th birthday. "We were robbed," shocked fan Ruben Verdonck said, with the Belgian flag draped around his shoulders. "I don't understand it," he told AFP. AFP | SEBASTIEN BOZON Besides Sweden, Estonia and the Netherlands -- who are considered among the front-runners -- acts from Albania, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Ukraine, Iceland and Portugal made it to Saturday's showdown. There was heartache for Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Slovenia and last year's runners-up Croatia, who were eliminated alongside Belgium's Red Sebastian. The spectacular stage in Basel is different for the 69th edition of Eurovision, stretching deep into the arena, with fans on three sides. Switzerland last hosted Eurovision in 1989, after Canada's Celine Dion won the contest the year before, competing for Switzerland. That win helped turn Dion into a megastar. Organisers are tight-lipped as to whether Dion, now in fragile health, might spring a surprise star turn. "I'd love nothing more than to be with you in Basel right now," she said, in a video message screened at Tuesday's semi-final. "Music unites us -- not only tonight, not only in this wonderful moment. It is our strength, our support, and our accompaniment in times of need."
