I adore this group.....i was only wondering if someone on this forum likes them too
They sing like angels, they are witty, sexy and handsome.............
They are Il Divo
here's how it went down.......Simon Cowell came up with the idea of them so he search for them around the world and found these four guys...........i'm sure you heard enough of that story........ :roll: ............but let's skip Simon and move right to the men themselves and their music...that is what that really matter...........

Next will be their career as a group
They burst into the scene when they performed the Spanish version of 'Unbreak My Heart' and their self titled debut album debut at number 1 in the Uk(knocking Robbie Williams out of that spot) and number 4 in the Us. Their fans ages range from 13 to 60. :shock:
this is 'Regresa A Mi (Unbreak My Heart) (i think this beats the original by a mile)
Mama (beautiful song.......sometimes makes you think about your mother)
A year later, they release their second album, 'Ancora' (Encore/Again in Italian) and the Encore DVD. The album features covers like Hero and All By Myself and more original songs and it also feature the duet with Celine Dion 'I Believe in you'.........Ancora took only 3 months to record
Isabel (My fav song from the album)
I Believe in You (with Celiene Dion)
Solo Tra Vez (All by Myself)
