In my opinion, as an American, after much listening to her work - and after 35 years of music devouring - Mina is the greatest singer in the world.

Nessuno lo dice che questo splendido pezzo di Alex Britti lei lo ha registrato cantandolo da seduta e senza averlo mai fatto precedentemente è andato così al primo tentativo. Praticamente è entrata, si è seduta, ha tirato fuori il testo, ha cantato una sola volta e poi se ne è andata a casa. Immensa Mina!

You are listening to Mina: The queen of Italian music.

Fun fact: what you listened to was actually the first try at recording the song. She went into the studio, sang the song, BAM! Perfect. In the original video, at the end, you can actually hear the people from the studio go "WOW" and she bursts out laughing and thanks them. Chills.

F. Sinatra once said that Mina has one of the most beautiful voices he never listened to.

She is a LEGEND in Italy, the queen of Italian music Louis Armostrong said ''The greatest white singer in the world''

Dude, Mina is the best singer EVER. You have to listen to "Brava" to ear how good is she :)

she's the best female voice in italy's music history, and probably one of the best in the world

That "girl" was in her mid-60's when she recorded this one. Now she's past 80. Best singer ever.

La voce di Mina è qualcosa di incredibile e l'intonazione è sempre perfetta. Un opera d'arte ancora adesso che ha 83 anni riesce a cantare divinamente

this song was recorded at one time....this is Mina!!!!

Mina is considered the Italian best female voice. Her nick name is "The Cremona Tiger". She was born in 1940, had a fabulous and long career. In 1978 she gave her last live concert and retired in Switzerland leaving the show business.

Ladies and gents: The Queen Mina. A voice like no one else.

The story goes that Mina came to the recording room, sat down, sang ... good first, ONE TAKE! . Goodbye and thank you all.

Great performance and interpretation by Mina. A curiosity for you my friend Mad Ang: this recording is one-shot! A friend of mine who was there for work told me that that day Mina arrived in the recording studio, she sang the piece only once and left immediately after greeting and thanking everyone.

Mina is a lady 82 years old and still sings in this way. She accompanies our lives since end of '50

Mina is THE VOICE. If you listen to 'brava' you won't believe how High she can sing. Always enjoying your video. Thank you Angelo 😘

Mina is GODDESS. Thank you x listening to her.

She is the best Italian pop singer at all and the craziest thing is that she sang sitting with the diaphragm in the non-optimal position for singing. To my knowledge, she didn't know about this song until she read the text of the song and she fall in love with it. She sang the song so beautifully because she felt it inside.

when this song was released Mina was 66 years old, her voice was and still is perfect today. voice, talent and character unmatched in the world. I have always adored her there are endless her songs by her spectacular by her, if you want to have fun and hear what she is capable of listen to "brava" then if you translate her lyrics there are dozens of masterpieces ... ❤

This song was writen by a great guitarrist italian Alex Britti.

La sovrana della canzone italiana,la numero 1 ,il nostro orgoglio,può cantare di tutto!🍀🥰🌷🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 La sua voce è uno strumento di Dio!

She stopped performing live at the end of the 70s but still records nowadays.

Remember... This "girl" was 66 when she performed this Alex Britti song... Powerful voice!!!

The fun fact about Mina is that she can sing everything and you'll find new nuances into her voice. (cry me a river for example she uses a jazz tone that is incredible!! Or Cry from la bussola d'oro live. Il cielo in una stanza, Brava, Ancora ancora, into the mood.. All different from a vocal point of view) She's the best, and if she's not, she is with them. ♥️

With over 150 million copies sold, she is the Italian singer who has sold the most records in the world. During her career, which began in the late fifties and continues today, Mina has performed more than 1,500 songs, achieving records and receiving prizes and awards, including two participations in the Sanremo Festival, three at the International Festival of Light Music, a Targa Tenco and the conferral of the Grand Officer of Merit of the Italian Republic

She was 60 when she recorded "Oggi Sono io". One take. We still bow here in Italy

Canzone di Alex Britti, bravissimo chitarrista blues. Mina è la miglior voce della storia della musica italiana, ma ormai da molto tempo si è ritirata in Svizzera e non si mostra più in pubblico.

Mina è la più grande cantante italiana e probabilmente tra le prime al mondo di tutti i tempi. Questa bellissima canzone è di Alex Britti che è anche un grandissimo chitarrista 😎🇮🇹🇮🇹👋

Hoy a los 84 años Mina Mazzini sigue con un volumen de voz como hace 40 años atrás si los americanos quieren conocer a Mina Mazzini qué viajen a Lugano Suiza y verán lo que significa ser la única ❤️✈️👋

Ha segnato un'epoca. Grande professionista e interprete. Ancora oggi le sue canzoni non sono mai riprodotte dai giovani talenti. Charme, stile, voce, interpretazione e mistero fanno di lei un'intoccabile!

Mina is a central figure in Italian pop music history. Born in 1940, she was everywhere in the media up until 1978 when she decided to stop her public appearances. From then on she started to be a figure of mystery (as you noticed from her look) and at one point she moved to Switzerland. If you want to see a master a gorgeous, statuesque woman perform masterfully, look out for some old Italian television (RAI) videos. I think this particular video was taken in her private recording studio (I'm not sure) and it also could be a first take.

She's simply the best Italian pop singer of all times.

Mina is a soprano with great agility and a range of three octaves. This fantastic lady has been around for decades. Millions of discs sold even when she decided not to sing in public anymore.

Caro mio, sopra Mina non c'è nessuno! La migliore cantante italiana del secolo, Inarrivabile!

Mina is sinply the best italian singer of all time ! Amazing voice. She also chooses great songs to sing.

Mina vocally is the non plus ultra ❤️ I see that you are flying to the highest peaks of Italian music, you will end up loving it viscerally. Since you do not shy away from proposals on particular genres and folklore (the taranta), and enchant you with the divine voices of our big names, I would like to hear you on Tazenda ft Pierangelo Bertoli "Spunta la luna dal monte".

She is THE voice.

Mina is not just a singer Mina is THE SINGER, Mina is the history of music in Italy. If you really want to hear Mina's great voice you have to listen "Brava"

Italian music has a mother, Mina, and a father, Lucio Battisti. She is considered a legend by every italian and noone can imagine what national tragedy will be the day she'll pass away

React to "Mina - Ancora ancora ancora (1978)"!

Best voice ever to me. About Mina there's so much. Listen the song "Brava"

Literally one big artist you have found! I am so happy 😁 I have been listening to Mina and Italian music from the 50s/60s/70s since I was a child and she really is something otherworldly! Fun facts: in Italy she is seen as a “mythological” creature after she left the spotlight in the 1978, leaving the world of the Italian television and live concerts behind. She had had enough of the celebrity culture and of the crazy paparazzi transforming the “dolce vita” in pure madness. Since the moment she was gone she has been playing with her own image in artistic ways so to keep her legend alive. She kept on releasing music, writing articles and leading radio shows. And this particular video you have reacted to is one extract from the very first and last documentary she released in 2000. She knew that the internet was becoming a big part of everyone’s life and, of course she broke her promise to never appear in public again, just for this one time. In the documentary you can find mina at work in her own music production studio. After this unique appearance in the documentary, she vanished once again, no more videos nor pictures untill today. She keeps on being a very prolific artist tho, with lots of albums, new songs and some. It is all embellished by awesome album cover images of her self, always changing like a chameleon. All my drawings are inspired by her look and her face. She was quite magical and her eyes were and still are today very hypnotic. Without eyebrows since the very beginning of her career she embodied glamour and magic to the highest level in my opinion ;) I will suggest you to listen to her jazz concert. One of the very last she had at the end of the 1970. I think it is called “Mina live alla bussoladomani 1972” Have fun 🤩

Finally you met Mina, the greatest and most loved italian lady singer. She has choosen to disappear from the public scene in the last decades but still composing and singing. You have to listen to Pino Mango, "Nella mia città" and "Bella d'estate". You won't regret.

Finalmente un mostro sacro della musica italiana. Ormai ti consideriamo uno di noi caro amico mio. Beautiful reaction! More reactions

The G.O.A.T. Mina is to the natural purity of the voice as Mozart is to that of the music

Mina enter in a registration room sing and go, the first time it’s as you’re listening. The greatest female voice in the world

Yep!! I grew up listening to mina, amazing singer

Mina, the greatest singer in Italy, retired from the stage in 1978 but is still musically active despite her 82 years. She has a great command of the voice and is famous because before recording a song she just does a test from which she understands how to correct herself. Of great female voices like hers in Italian pop music there are only Giorgia, who also duets with Alicia Keys and Elisa, who also duets with LPs.

La tigre di Cremona, No one in the world can compete, simply THE BEST.

Mina was over 70 when she sang this song. Mina is one of the greatest of all time.

Mina, the greatest italian singer of all time.

Hi, Mina has recorded around 1500 songs, and around 75 albums. She still is a constant in my life since 1965 when I first watched her in Studio 10 an Italian TV program that was show in Cuban TV, in my opinion she is the best singer of the world, last February she come out with her last album "Te amo come un pazzo" a beautiful selection of songs and she is 83 years old.

Mina, the queen of Italian music. She's a myth, every Italian female singer has to learn and sing some of her songs to say they're good at singing 🔝❤

extremely underrated and surprising how many people still havent heard of her. Up there with Celine, Whitney for sure. One of the Greatest Female Vocalists of all time- also note this whole take was recorded sat down!!!

We are talking about the best Italian voice EVER.

Angelo, she's THE VOICE here in Italy!! That's it!!!

You should be watching a concert of her from 1972 and listening to the final song, "Someday". She literally did everything in music. She's been corageous as an artist and, firstly, as a woman breaking many social rules back in the 60s and 70s. Great reaction, by the way 👍

If you liked this performance, you would go crazy listening her song "Brava"... there she sings in every possible manner. It's a showcase of all her vocal qualities. You NEED to hear it!

Mina. Member of the Trinity with Mia Martini and Antonella Ruggero

Thanks for reaction !! ^_^ When Mina recorded this video live she was 61 years old. "Mina in studio" - documentary - 2001. Great artist !!

Mina is THE legend of the Italian music. Her voice and her song's interpretation are just extraordinary.

She was born in 1940 and started to sing in 1958, she made 116 albums and this video was made in 2013, at the age of 73...

Mina es la Más grande cantante del universo. La amo !!! Besos desde Buenos Aires . (C.L)

Omg ! i cant believe you just did it!!!!!! you are reacting to my fav female singer ever!! the Queen MINA!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

Ascolta anche Mango un cantautore ,un poeta ,una voce incredibile che ci ha lasciati troppo presto.

Mad Mini singing since 1957 year now she is. 80 year old

That was the first time she sang the song and that was it, the only and final version. And she was singing like that while sitting... 😉

She is definitely one of the best ever Italian singers. There is a Story around this specific song, this song was recorded straight away at first attempt; as a metter of fact, you can see she is reading the lyrics in the video, since she did not know the text.

An incredible, unique, sensational voice. The best ever. I Love Mina!

She is the QUEEN! She has 3 natural octave…can sing has mezzo soprano and soprano

Little story behind this recording section. They ask her to sing the song as she felt in that moment, so she sat down and started. That was the very first attempt and when she finished they decided to keep it as the one to put in the record. Other then this, there are not words to describe Mina, an italian music monument

She is a LEGEND for us !!!! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹👍💯💯 Happy u gave her a chance 😁😁😁😁

She was 60 y.o. when sang this 🤷🏻‍♂️😱👏👏👏👏

One of the greatest voices of Italian music. She has been a legend. She is super private and never shows up in public but back in the 70s and 80s she was Italy's Adele.

Beautiful...wooow Mina! Toooop!!! 😍

Mina is THE QUEEN of the Italian music. That performance was "the first shot" of a recording day in studio . no need for a redo: it was already perfect!

Mina has one of the most amazing voices! PS “oh-jji sono ee-oh”

She was on her way for the '70s here , sit down on the first try on the song of a stranger... DeAndrè said "Mina voice is a miracle" Luis Armstrong said "the best white singer ever"

Once again, you have already a lot of suggestions so this could be unwelcomed but if you wish listen to "Se telefonando" an early song from 1966 and you will ear a lot of her skills, but especially on those years Mina was more then a singer was an icon of emancipation for italian woman ( remember 66 ) and that song shows that in a simple but consinstency way. Anyway great choose and wonderful reaction.

Mina Is our Queen...she's considered the best female voice of italy since 50ies.... She Is a very famous Singer here, and in 50\60 & 70ies She was in many TV shows, as singer and host....but in 70ies She retired from public, and She lives in switzerland since....no TV..no interviews..no photos...Just albums, once a while....successful albums, every time.......once a while we have theese little clips of herself, singing...but She chooses private life.... Mina Is very very well known...u heard her voice, and now you know.... his friend Frank Sinatra once said that She was the best female voice of all time....we love u, Mina

"La voce del silenzio! Mina eccezionale❤

Yes man, AND not only the band was real and playing live, this was shot in ONE TAKE. FACTS.

COCCIANTE and MINA -Questione di feeling - is beatiful! 🇮🇹

La piu grande cantante all time .🤩🤩🤩🤩😍

You should listen to many more of Mina's songs, you will just be amazed by her spectacular voice.

You are getting to know the most beautiful songs thanks to us Italians! Your videos are beautiful and also make us understand how, unfortunately little is known about Italian music. But once known, it can no longer be done without! Keep it up! Bravo;)

There are no words for Mina,just a neverending admiration…she is absolutely incomparable,for me the best singer in all the world. Please listen to other songs,for example my favourite is “Se telefonando”. ❤️

Hello Mr Mad Ang! I was listening another Mina's song, "Tre volte dentro me", you should listen it. It's unbelivable how the vocals and instruments are mixed together and it's pure ROCK n ROLL. Check it, best regards from Sicily!

Mina "ancora ancora ancora". Incredible voice

Some famous guitarists in Italy, Andrea Braido, Dodi Battaglia, Richy Portera, Maurizio Solieri, Alex Britti, massimo varini, Francesco buzzurro, Marco sfogli, Fabrizio bicio Leo, Ciro manna, donato begotti, Daniele Gottardo, Matteo mancuso.

Brividi ogni volta che l’ascolto Mina, una grande!

Stunning heavenly amazing. The italian language is sooooo beautiful

Thanks for these videos; you are generous in your comments and open to many types of music, and also perceptive and intelligent in your comments. (For example, you say that Mina looks like a mysterious person, and indeed she retired from concerts years ago to live a private life and just make recordings, which is indeed a mysterious thing to do when at the top of your popularity.)

Mina.... I mean... Mina.... I'm not Italian, Though lived in Italy and married to an Italian and She's just like THE DIVA... It's not just the amazing voice, but the interpretation, the way she tames her voice.... Again, she's Mina, I guess just Aretha Franklin and Barbra would give an idea of what that is...... It's so moving seeing people from so far away, with a diffrent culture appreciating it.... Love from Barcelona

Mina is simply the MYTH of italian music. No joke. Please react to "Brava" in the 60's to fully understand her talent

Ang, you're such an open mind!!! Grande!!!

83 years old......listen at 20 POWERFULL

In Italia lei è una leggenda ,pura magia ,voce indescrivibile
