Mina's choice of song, from the musical "Notre-Dame de Paris," played a significant role in her decision-making process. While initially considering Santa due to her familiarity with her music, Mina's mother introduced her to the musical, which featured Patrick Fiori. This exposure led Mina to develop a preference for Fiori. She explained that Fiori's encouragement and kindness helped her gain confidence in her singing.

However, Mina had already made up her mind, influenced by her positive experience with Fiori and her appreciation for his mentorship. Her journey on "The Voice Kids" has just begun, with the young talent already demonstrating remarkable poise and skill on stage.
