Il Divo, Liverpool, Summer Pops

Jul 24 2006

By Peter Grant, Liverpool Echo

 

Pop Opera group, Il Divo performing at the Summer Pops, Liverpool

IL DIVO are a revelation. The name means Divine Male Performer and, though they may have been put together by Simon Cowell, no-one can doubt their musical credibility.

They are four good-looking singers who act as if they are relishing every single second of fame and fortune.

Created in 2004, after shrewd Simon C's search for a truly international quartet, they continue to deliver as this date - part of a 72 gig world tour - showed.

Their average age is 33 and yet already they are in a different league to X Factor's static and un-cool G4.

Unbreak My Heart and Every Time I Look at You were lapped up by the mostly female audience, while poignant Mama and Isabel are sure to be crowd pleasers for years to come.

A fine version of the musical hit Somewhere saw the sell-out crowd on their feet as the band, who changed from one designer suit into another, sat at the edge of the stage receiving the underwear, teddy bears and flowers that showered the end of their performance.

A fine finale in My Way said it all. Il Divo are doing it their way.
