Piero looks so sweet on stage though. It's like he can't believe himself that he can sing like that!

Such emotion and how beautiful is he! I need this as an mp3.

I can't stop playing il volo! My housemate is completely sick of grande amore.

I have that on my youtube playlist and it's what I love about Ignazio, Passion, Emotion and an exceptional voice to go with it.

I love that performance along with "Quando l'amore diventa poesia" (When love becomes poetry)

Let me know if you want any help with that - I run the Andrea Faustini fan website, so I've got a lot of experience....

They could do with a good UK Facebook page too.....
They do have a Facebook page which with 990k likes and usually there is a translation tag, so you can follow what is being said.

Reading these posts, I am definitely not in the same age group as most of you.
I watched an interview on You Tube last night of the three of them and I think it was Gianluca (is that the really good looking one?) talk about a meet and great in New York where he met a whole family, grandaughter, mother and grandmother and the grandmother said to him something like...congratulations you have got three generations...and he said he would never forget it.
Not sure if I tried to drag my daughter along whe would be too happy as she absolutely hates all the music I love...Il Divo...Collabro....Andrea Bocelli

Sanremo Performance.
And of course the official video.

...I prefer the Sanremo performance because of the 45 seconds or so they had to cut for the eurovision.

In terms of which was sang best, there's no difference, they always nail their songs, you almost can't tell the difference between their recordings and live performances no matter what they sing.

Oh and ChrissieAO, Gianluca is indeed the good looking one and the one who talked about granddaughter, mother and grandmother.

This is a lovely video Il Volo - A Day In The Life in NYC when they were kids.

Love this one too. Il Volo - El Triste (Latin Billboard Awards 2013) It's a tribute to Jose Jose who' picture you see scattered around and is the guy they keep showing in the crowd who originally sang it.

Very touching reaction from him.

That blue suit Gianluca is wearing is a bit loud

Aw, well done you! That's fab. I still remember the stress of waiting for the results from my degree... and the relief when they come and it's what you wanted!

Good luck on the date!

There's a few ways of converting You Tube clips to mp3s... I did it recently for all of Andrea Faustini's stuff.... I will have a look at setting something up for everyone, so they everyone can download their stuff in .mp3 format or .m4a (iTunes) format. I will do dia6olo's playlist.... Stay tuned

I love that video dia6olo , I've been watching Il Volo clips all weekend - I love the way they all kid about with each other, like brothers... They remind me a lot of the original brat pack on stage!. I've joined a couple of FB groups and found out they were in the UK in 2011? Any clips of that anywhere? I would love so much to go to Italy to see them and on their upcoming tour...

They where on 2 or 3 tv programs in the UK and of course their first album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Had a look at what I could find and found these videos:

O Sole Mio - on Alan Titchmarsh
Il Volo - BBC Breakfast
An Interview with Classic FM

I know they where on loose women too but can't find much on that.

I suspect they are going to be extremely busy, they have 18 concerts coming up in Italy.
American and in particular South American fans are literally demanding they come back lol
They are quite popular in Russia where they have performed, they received 12 points from them at the eurovision.
Then there's Europe...

I think you might be right Chemistry, unfortunately I suspect the UK is a long way down their pecking order.

Thank goodness for the internet though as it makes buying their music far easier. Also wouldn't mind a trip to Italy to see them
