The other day someone at the paper rang up and asked if I'd write a short commentary about something called Il Volo. I thought at first that that meant "the thief", but it doesn't. Apparently it means "Flight". So I checked 'em out. And here's what I wrote. See if you agree? Note: if you are a hardline classical devotee, you might find that the video below is best viewed in the bathroom.

You have some really strange bathroom habits. I wonder where you get your overblown opinion of yourself. Sorry, Dear, but these kids are out of your league. The former producer for Andrea Bocelli works with them... they singlike angels. Please don't make a fool of your self at their expence any more. No one will give you any credibility...if you have any to begin with...
No, I do not agree. These boys never pretended to be anything other than what they are - three talented Italian teens with a gift to share. I have met them and have to say that not only are they nice to look at and listen to, they are lovely on the inside as well. This is exhibited in their affection for a precious tiny American tot, age 2 1/2, who captured their hearts. She has bilateral hip dysplasia, and has know nothing but pain for her enire short life. Furthermore, they exhibit a lot more class than their American counterparts. Classical music? Maybe not. Good music? Oh, yes. Talented teens? Oh, yes. Their fan base includes far more than screaming teenaged girls. There are many, many of us who are loving their music and what they represent. I, for one, will continue to enjoy their music for as long as they care to share it. After all, Pavorotti didn't develop his talent as a 16 year old,either.
