| Il Divo’s latest album: Wicked Game |
So last night was a great night of music. A few months ago, I bought tickets to see Il Divo in concert, featuring Nikki Yanofsky as the opening act. Last night was that long awaited concert. And let me just say: It was incredible. To start, Nikki Yanofsky sounded fantastic! I thought she was amazing when I heard her sing on TV at the Vancouver Olympics, but hearing her live made me realize that the girl can really sing! Amazingly. Such great Canadian talent.

For those unaware, Il Divo is a very successful operatic pop vocal group. “Il Divo” means “divine male performer” in Italian, and the group of 4 was formed in 2004 by Simon Cowell. I think it’s really cool that all members are from different countries- French pop singer Sébastien Izambard, Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, American tenor David Miller, and Swiss tenor Urs Bühler – and their voices are simply incredible. I can’t explain why I love them so much, other than to say that male operatic voices sound amazing, and I love pop music. Fuse those two together and I love what I feel when I listen to their music.
They sang several of their popular songs from past albums, and then many songs from their new album. “Wicked Game (Melanconia)” was awesome, and so was “Come What May (Te Amare)”. In thinking, everything was awesome. It was just an awesome awesome concert! As they concluded the encore with “Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partirò)”, I felt as though I had sat through something special, and with special company :). Thanks, Il Divo, for a wonderful concert!
