Editorial Review:
"Il Divo have taught me more than I have taught them. I am actually intimidated and slightly in awe of their talent! I am more proud of this album than anything else i've ever been involved with, they are going to be huge." --Simon Cowell
Description of Il Divo:
While not exactly classical crossover's take on The Monkees, this international quartet of young male vocalists from America, France, Spain, and Switzerland shares a similar genesis. Assembled after a long talent search and audition process, they were teamed with pop producers Per Magnusson and David Krueger (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys) and Steve Mac (Charlotte Church, Kelly Clarkson) and turned loose on a slate of classical-pop favorites, with a dramatic, dynamically nuanced read of Toni Braxton's signature "Unbreak My Heart" setting the standard. While the deceptive ease of their harmonies belie the group's disparate nationalities and talent search roots on the melodramatic "Hoy Que Ya No Estas Aqui," Morricone's glorious Mission theme, "Nella Fantasia" and the cascading "Passera," the album's pop-oriented material is a decidedly more mixed bag ."Everytime I Look at You" and "Feelings" (not Morris Albert's) soar gracefully, while "The Man You Love" seems more a throwback to the producers' boy band roots. The standard "My Way" and a lovely, bonus cut Italian version of "Unchained Melody" close the album out on a high note, even if their safe familiarity doesn't offer the promising quartet a sufficient musical challenge. --Jerry McCulley

Il Divo Reviews:
A truly excellent CD.

2009-12-04 - This group of young men are very talented and prove that on this CD. I would highly recommend it and Amazon provided very fast shipping.
Do not waste your money.... 
2009-12-03 - What a joke! Is this what passes for classical music for the masses? Because it is neither classical nor music and the original performers of the songs would flip over if they heard Il Divo's renditions. These four guys just don't sing together, you basically hear four separate lines of music punctuated by pop music like breathing or the occasional baritone splurge of their best singer (Carlos). It is not even elevator music, at best you can call this musac. I don't know who compared them to Andrea Bocelli but it's a crime. Mr. Bocelli can sing and melt your heart out even in diluted classical music for the masses and can interpret them without ever moving from his spot. These guys...oh forget it, I'm running out of poor adjectives to use. Bottom line, don't waste your money or time. Maybe Aunt Margaret might like them since they are young and hunky and the melodies are "pleasant" to the untrained or undiscerning ear.
