Entry: Il Vido madness Friday, May 27, 2005



I'm in LOVE!! I'm in love!!! With four men!! AAAHHHH!!! :)

Question: What do you get when you put the voices of Josh Groban, Mario Frangoulis, Alessandro Safina and Luciano Pavarotti together???

Answer: Il Vido!!!

Just look at 'em!! *drool*



From left: Carlos (baritone - Spaniard), Sebastien (vox populi - Frenchman), David (tenor - American), Urs (tenor -Swiss)

They're not only gorgeous; they're FANTASTIC singers as well!! They're UNBELIEVABLE. They can sing ANYTHING. Gotta love opera singers for that. From the softest crooning to the most powerful, blow-you-out-your-seat bel canto roar, these guys can SING it!!!

Gabi and I are currently fighting over who gets to listen to their CD. I predict that pretty soon we're going to come to blows. Literally. It's gotten to a point that Ogot was telling us to 'take our fighting outside' (read: sparring). "Tara na, ako mag-re-referee. O ano? Red armor, blue armor ha??"

Haha. So much for twinhood, yes?

Unfortunately, we're also attracted to the same singer: Carlo. It's his distinctive baritone voice. So SOLID!!! It soars above the rest's. But if I'm going by looks alone, I'll go for Sebastien. In his case I'll make an exception to my thou-shalt-not-have-crushes-on-Frenchmen rule (long story on that one). :) Sebastien's so cute!!! :) And of all of them, he's the only singer who's self-taught. Gak. Genius!!

Urs and David are cuties too. :)

I want to watch them perform so I can match their voices to their faces. So far the only voice/face we're sure of is Carlo's, because he's the baritone. But Urs and David are both tenors, so we can't be sure who's voice profile A and who's voice profile B. I'm guessing Sebastian, as 'the voice of the people', is the most versatile...I think he's the one with the smoothest, most-suited-for-broadway chest tone. But I can't be sure. DARN!! Must see them perform!! Even if its online! hehe!!

It's unfair. HOw come all the great singers I know are gorgeous to boot? WHere is GOd's sense of justice??! haha. :)

It's amazing. I feel so alive, music-wise. THe last time I felt this rejuvenated was when Denden introduced us to Sarah Brightman. And when Gabi discovered Charlotte Church (the young Charlotte, not the current nagpipipilit Charlotte).

Oh, the joy of discovering new music to fall in love with!!

It's Il DIVO, not Vido, actually.

Cheers!

note on Charlotte Church. I think she's trying to cross over to the pop-rock world, which is NOT a good thing, I think. I mean, as much as I am a fan of that genre, she's in the category of pop-classical, and she was good at that, even great, considering she was a kid to start with. so I was really annoyed that she' s trying to be 'in' among other kids her age..it's just sad. hehe.
