I did know that they are one of Simon's groups, but it's not Simon who is doing the singing is it?

exactly REye, they top the charts all the time and have mass appeal. Not only in the UK but around the whole world. They also sing in at least three different languages (Italian, Spanish and English).

And just like every other singer - they still have to learn the songs - they just learn them in another language. Hardly a new concept.

Quite offensive to say opera is for morons. Brordan your horizon.

No one said opera is for morons. If you read it again it will say that Il Divo is opera for morons.

They do have mass appeal. They appeal to the mass of people who believe that when they listen to Il Divo, they think it's culture, instead of the manufacturered rubbish that it is. Just because you sing a pop song in Italian it doesn't make it culture.

You said when one of them sings, the world comes out of his mouth. Try listening to a proper operatic tenor sometime and you'll crap yourself.
