Swoon over Il Divo (I already did!)
I have an confession to make: I’m a choir girl. Yes, yours truly, in all of my chic glory is actually a very good 2nd Soprano. I have been singing in a choir for as long as I can remember — I think my earliest memory is the 4th grade, but it may have started even before that. I sang all through high school and auditioned for the Women’s Chorale in college, and was the lone French major in a room full of Music majors. It was a blast, I loved it. A good piece of music in 4 part harmony is enough to make me swoon.
When I opened my copies of Il Divo’s “The Promise” and “The Christmas Collection
Their new CD, The Promise

I love their music and introduced my parents to it also. They are so talented and I am so jealous since I can not carry a tune. I like all kinds of music (except rap) and want to expose our grandkids to it also - this would be great to have playing at Christmas.

Swoon… I mean… and how!!!! I want to win because the first time I heard/saw was enraptured by them I almost passed out. It was Amazing Grace, my grandparent’s favorite song. I was enthralled.

My son has Asperger Syndrome could not tolerate to listen to music. But for some reason last year he started to like Christmas music. So for him we play Christmas music all year around. I could use something new to add to the mix.

I love them! I would love to win this music. i have seen them on TV and swore I’d get one of their CDs. So I went to Target and was just about to buy it when I realized I didn’t have enough money on me. I did have enough to get the baby food and other necessities. (And I really didn’t want to charge it). So I still don’t have it and i’ve been dropping hints for Christmas like crazy - no body gets it!!

I want to win this so bad because I am mesmerized by these guys! I first saw them on Oprah, then I watched a whole hour on Public Television and was just overcome by their sound. I already downloaded their version of my fave Christmas carol, O Holy Night, but of course I would be ultra thrilled to own the whole CD.
Dec 2nd, 2008 at 10:05 pm

i like ‘Josh Groban’ type of music and when i have seen IL Divo on TV and they reminded me of him. They sing really well and i think they are much better looking than Josh Groban.

Dec 7th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I love their voices! I get goosebumps everytime that I hear them sing Amazing Grace. It is just so beautiful to listen to. Not to sound morbid or anything, but I would love to win this to make sure that this song would be played at my funeral (when the time comes). I’m battling a disease right now and am winning but have made my own plans to make it easier on family and have certain songs that I want played. But, that’s not going to be for a long, long time from now.
Thanks much for the nice giveaway.

I actually have only ever heard one song from them and I think it was on Martha Stewart’s show and I just never got around to getting them although I too drooled over them
Recently my dad told me he loves this group and would like me to hear them, says he thinks of how much of my life he has missed when he listens to it and now I am curious to hear them. Thanks for the chance
