Il Divo - Il bello

Channel 11 often has great programs during their fundraiser period.  Last night's program was Il Divo.  Il Divo is a group of 4 men who sing a wide range of songs and create harmonies that wow.  Plus they're beautiful.  It's an amazing combination.  I'm sending a thank you note to the Gods.  


You've probably seen their CDs even if you didn't realize it.  For a while their CD was available at Starbucks.  If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend youtube-ing them or finding a friend who has their CD and stealing a quick listen.  Or to go this website and listen to their featured songs or interviews:

Some of their songs last night included "Amazing Grace", "I did it my way", and my personal favorite, "Hallelujah" (although it's not their particular version, but the song has a momentary cameo in Shrek!).  Some of the songs are in English, other in Italian, and some, like the televised show from Barcelona, Spain, are in Spanish.  The men and truly beautiful (so you can watch them forever!), their voices make your heart flutter, and you feel completely transported - like you just snuck into a million dollar classic show for free or only a few dollars.  There's nothing quite like warming the heart with the enveloping voices of truly talented male vocalists.  Enjoy!!
