Reaction to Mina - Brava [CC]

[I recorded this with the last batch of reactions, but didn't put it up with them. So I'm putting it up now.]

[@aftermax01]

This sing was written as a "stress test" to show her particular skills in range, speed and breath techniques

[@archivepenta]

yeah, over the years this song is definitely become a benchmark for every virtuous singer

[@diegofabbri2903]

Exactly, in Italy this song has always been considered as a benchmark to prove the skill of a singer. Very demanding song.

[@manuzzolino695]

She sings very fast. It is difficult for Italians to sing so fast. Many Italians peoples consider her the best Italian singer ever.

[@beatriceschettini2773]

Yes she is ❤️

[@nadiariva8703]

Cosa dire, solo una voce incommensurabile e tanto tosta 💫🤗🥀

[@Edreamer3]

You know you're a human being right? Italians too and there is no difference between you and other human beings, trust me. You're not another species. Singing fast is difficult for lot of people who are not singers, not for "italians" 😅 Singing fast wasn't so common at that time but the reason why this song is so popular is not just she sings fast but the lyrics itself too, which is funny.

[@antonio170106]

@@Edreamer3 hi kevin ... singing in Italian so fast, it's very difficult, not because we Italians are better at it, but for a speech in phonetics.Our language is read and pronounced in full as you read it, that's the difficulty. to say that unlike the English language, which by its nature has accents and a phonetics that allows a cut of the words, different from Italian, this allows you to "eat" the words, and therefore sounds faster in pronunciation.

Da italiano sono orgoglioso che una canzone come questa sia arrivata fino in America. È bellissimo vedere che una cantante così talentuosa come lei sia così conosciuta. Saluti da tutt'italia ❤️ 🇮🇹

[@agem1989]

This is supposed to be one of the most difficult song to sing, very fast and constantly change of notes and long time without breathing. The lyrics are actually cool, because it's one of the few cases where the singer celebrates itself saying how much she Brava is lol.

Mina è ingiudicabile. È UN GIGANTE DELLA MUSICA MONDIALE.

[@michelemorotti782]

Ingiudicabile è il termine giusto. Non dagli esseri umani, forse dagli dei. Ma ripeto, forse.

Luis Armstrong la definì la più grande cantante bianca al mondo! Stupenda" la voce del silenzio" e tra le nuove " volevo scriverti da tanto" poi immensa quando entra in studio e canta "oggi sono io"( buona alla prima)

[@lucarossi7561]

Pure divertissement built by Maestro Canfora on the extraordinary vocal skills of Mina,[3] who returned an amazing performance, still today an unsurpassed point of arrival for many singers.Without almost taking a breath, Mina flows the melody up and down in a clear and agile way, completely using the range of her voice and pronouncing at very high speed the words of a text (a kind of score for voice) that ironically tells the gesture that the singer is making. [3]

[@crabiolu]

Mina, ti amo

[@lorenzopinto7948]

You must know that this song was properly conceived as a sort of a technical exercise to show to the public her full voice extension. We italians probably are used to agree on just one fact at all: she's our BEST singer of all times. P.s. She recently passed 80 and still recording with a wonderful voice. But She TOTALLY refused any form of public life and live exhibitions since he was 38. Thank you all.

[@mariapellegrini7534]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@loredanapuggioni8958]

Questa non è una canzone, è una prova di forza.

[@Alfius883]

The biggest of all time. It was nicknamed "The Tiger of Cremona" for the power of its voice and for its performances. She is still considered the greatest Italian singer and, although she hasn't shown herself in public for many years, she still continues her career. It is extraordinary. Some recommended songs: "Tintarella di Luna", "Le mille bolle blu", "Il cielo in una stanza". Enjoy!😉

[@domiziamarasco6493]

se deve sentire il cielo in una stanza falle sentire quella di gino paoli almeno !

[@mariapellegrini7534]

È consigliabile conoscere tutta la sua monumentale discografia. Opera Omnia, per capire perché è la più grande cantante italiana di tutti i tempi.

[@centrostudifrancescoperri6483]

Bruno Canfora wrote this song for Mina as a sort of joke telling her that she would have not be able to do il. I remember the first time she sang it (live) on TV...wonderful

[@danimi85]

This song was created in the 60’s to show the vocal extension of Mina. Mina is one of the biggest female artists. She lives in Lugano (Switzerland) near the border of Italy. She decided to spend her life in total privacy and after the great success in the 60’s. She is considered the last living diva in the italian music industry

[@diegojoyeusaz5665]

Louis Armstrong used to say she's the most beautiful white female voice

[@Noname-xi7xi]

Simply amazing....standing ovation!!!!!

[@mariapellegrini7534]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@emilianoplacchi964]

I wouldn't say this is a proper song. It is actually a performance in which she literally tells what she is technically able to do by singing it. It is interesting also because it is almost impossible to pronounce the words as fast as she does.

[@lyricrogersofficial]

I love Mina and this song so ftickin much! Been a fan since 2016 😊

[@archivepenta]

Another fun fact about Mina is that she always records songs on the first try. It may not be the technically "perfect" one but she says the first one is the right one.

[@graziaricciardiello6516]

"I like her voice" haha no shit, it's Mina. It's like pulling out some Maradona film and going "I kinda like how this dude kicks it"

[@claudiovitagliano2330]

Mina è la più grande cantante italiana da sempre, dal 1959; non lo dico solo io (che sono un semplice insegnante di chimica) ma tutti in Italia. Louis Armstrong, dopo averla sentita, dichiarò che era la più grande cantante bianca del mondo. Provate ad ascoltare "Someday" oppure "core 'ngrato" (un brano tradizionale napoletano). Grazie per questo omaggio che ThisisJokyl989 fa a questa che ora è una signora di più di 80 anni.

And you think she sang it all in one breath!

[@FAQIvan91]

Pfff she was practically rapping with notes back then. Celebrating how "BRAVA" she is at singing, LOL.

[@icydelight3693]

She showcased a lot of vocal extension and agility in chest voice and head voice, the fact that she sang very fast doesn't mean that she was rapping, she was singing. She held an e5 in chest voice, a d6 in head voice, hit many low notes and she did it absolutely casually... Every note was well connected and her voice didn't break once... Plus she showcased perfect diction even at "high singing speed" and excellent breath control

[@FAQIvan91]

@@icydelight3693 You may have to look again at the dictionary for the term "practically" and its uses. Lo so.

@@FAQIvan91 are you Italian? If so, I'll reply to you in Italian (if not tell me and I'll translate). Pensavo che stessi un attimo sfottendo Mina (visto che hai messo LOL) dicendo che questa canzone era poco più che un rap che non mette in evidenza le sue capacità canore, malgrado il titolo. Per quello sono scattato.

@@icydelight3693 No no no uso LOL quando trovo qualcosa divertente, assolutamente! Mina è inarrivabile! Volevo dire che il suo ritmo molto rapido nello scandire le parole ricorda alcuni rapper anche internazionali che sanno fare il loro mestiere.

[@Parnall71]

"Brava" in italian means "good", "to be good at something" (at singing in this case). In Italy we always told her how good she was at singing and she sang about it. Here you can find the italian lyrics but unfortunately there's still no english translation... so Mr Google Translator is going to help you. Bye!
