-A Must See Performance.


Makes me melt every time. This is the video and song that made me think "Mhmm, they're not bad." And then the song came on and on in my head until I decided to look for it. Heard it like ten times that day until I learned it. Beautiful, just beautiful.

-Fun Interview

You can see how silly and pure they are. And maybe you can also see how Ignazio and Piero have a close relationship. There's always someone who's cocky and a loner, and I feel it's Gianluca. But I can't help but love him either way.

-Still no Florida

I'll be leaving soon to study. I'll remain in Florida but it would mean so much to me to see Il Volo perform before I go away from the city where I was raised. On another note, Gianluca bought a place in Los Angeles. Come on bro, buy one here. This city is popular and the fans love you so much. Anyway, I'm not too mad. I love them unconditionally. And they should come really soon!

-Popular Opinion

As you all know, I post about my likes and opinions about the boys. I started snooping around the internet for more professional thoughts about them. The following article is an excerpt from The New York Times. Published on 2011. To check out the whole article copy the link:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/arts/music/il-volo-the-teenage-italian-singers-go-on-tour.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 


'No, not those Three Tenors. These were mere boys, baby-faced Italian teenagers calling themselves Il Volo and belting the red-sauce favorite “O Sole Mio” in front of projections of stained-glass windows. Channeling an unlikely mixture of Andrea Bocelli and the Jonas Brothers, the appearance capped a few months that brought them from “American Idol” to the morning talk shows to the final episode of “Entourage,” a circuit carefully designed to expose them to both mothers and daughters, PBS and MTV demographics, before their first North American tour, which arrives at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan on Monday.
In the NBC studio at Rockefeller Center, as the sleepy-eyed Gianluca Ginoble, 16, crooned the opening verse, and Piero Barone, 18, and Ignazio Boschetto, who turns 17 on Tuesday, released ringing high notes, Hoda Kotb, a “Today” co-host, put her hand on her heart and smiled wistfully behind the cameras.
“We are Il Volo,” Ignazio said at the end with a heavy accent and a dimpled grin. “It means ‘flight.’ Thank you for flying with us.”
After the taping Ms. Kotb towered over the boys in spiked heels. “Believe me, everyone’s going to come running,” she said. “They’re going to beat down the door.”
Arias for teenagers? That’s the theory, the crossover dream being masterminded by some of the most savvy executives in the music business: Jimmy Iovine, who helped turn Eminem and Lady Gaga into superstars; Ron Fair, who nurtured the careers of Christina Aguilera and the Black Eyed Peas; and Steve Leber, a management legend who worked with the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and AC/DC and has come out of pop retirement to try to make Il Volo explode.
The group inhabits the intersection of the Italian pop standard and the soaring power ballad, the same sweet spot that has carried performers like Mr. Bocelli and Il Divo to superstardom. The difference, of course, is age: theirs, and that of their potential audience. The success of a show like “Glee” has introduced the tantalizing possibility that genres like musical theater or, say, pop-opera can inspire screaming girls willing to buy concert tickets and T-shirts, as long as the interpreters are young and adorable.
“In the beginning all of us thought that because of their kind of music, the audience would be from 35 up,” said Tony Renis, the producer who discovered Il Volo, in a telephone interview from his home in Rome. “But now we realize that they can conquer the kids. The younger generation all over the world, they’re used to rap. They never had the chance to listen to this kind of music. But now Il Volo is spreading a new kind of feeling. They are conquering every age.”'

-New York

They're going to New York. Why can't I be there? It's going to be a nice concert with other artists. They're also probably going to Los Angels. I want them to come down so badly. My mom said I can see them if they come. I work now, so I can afford it myself. Yay! Even if I go alone, I'll enjoy it. I need to see them before I go. I'll keep y'all posted.

-More concerts in USA

They're coming back. I don't know for what reason. They don't have an album out or anything. They were scheduled to do a couple shows with other artists in New York. Now I've seen dates online about them coming down to other cities. Maybe performing solo. No word on Miami though. I missed my chance of seeing them last time. Now I will try very hard to go if they come. It's an experience you can't go without in a life time. One day I'll see them. And hopefully that day is soon.
