Music Notes– by Meheaton
Hi Everyone! We have a new feature here on the blog! Most of you know Myron, but for those that don’t, he is a voice teacher and recently took some of his students to see Il Volo perform in Chicago. He has sometimes served as a regional judge for music competitions over the years, and has mentioned before that he loves to discuss the music.
We thought he would add a different aspect to our little home, and he will be talking about music: the boys’, performances, history, etc. We hope everyone will find it interesting if you don’t know much about music, and will engage in discussion and share your opinions as well. So, please enjoy his first piece! Kelly
Il Volo appears on “The Talk” Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Review:
The guys were in fine and, may I say, well rested singing voices. We Il Volo fans have all become used to very high vocal standards, and this was no exception. Wonderful. If I were to be a little, tiny bit “picky”, I felt Piero had a really special and excellent day. Gianluca and Ignazio were superb but this song works well for Piero.
Backup: I always wish for live orchestra – the Toinght Show does it, The Talk does not.
On this show the instrumental computer track was started a bit early as the group was just being announced. Thank goodness Gianluca (who starts the song) was on the ball and got it perfect. Having seen them live in Chicago to sing this exact song, I can tell you that the opening on the instrumental track is tricky. More proof of the high quality of musicians they are.
The entire segment ? I loved it. They were more relaxed and engaging than ever. They had fun with the ladies. My big thing about these talk shows is giving the guys more time to show their natural personality. This show has gotten better and better at doing that and today was warm and funny (Gianluca joking about Selena Gomez being his guest in Italy when she comes to take a cooking class and Ignazio joking about the eyes of one of the ladies) — one of the best Il Volo chat segments on network tv so far. I only wish Jay Leno would do that on the Tonight Show – have them over to the desk in the prior segment and chat with them and then have them sing in the next segment.
The TALK is always special because it was the very first American network show they ever did when they were 16 years old ! Back in fall of 2011.
Thank you, Myron!
In Case You Missed It…..August 14
Hi Everyone,
1) The highlight of the day of course was the appearance of Il Volo on “The Talk”! What can I say they were charming, funny and sang “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” like angels!
I was really pleased to see that the hosts gave them some time and asked good questions. Sharon Osbourne complemented them on their English. She also said she would be attending their concert at Radio City in New York. Gianluca was charming when talking about their fans. Ignazio was a riot flirting like crazy with Sheryl Underwood, he’s so funny! When he was singing his part, they showed a glimpse of her swooning! They got a long standing ovation!!
2) Check some photos on Mundial of Piero doing a water slide with his sister and a picture of the family barbecue.
3) L
ook on Mundial of more pictures of Ignazio partying with friends, they look like they always have a good time!
4) Gianluca’s Twitter page has a collage of him and Elvis in like poses, it was from one of his fans.
Gianluca also is using a new social media called “Brabble”, check it out.
5) See Mundial, they posted a video of “Beautiful Day”
I hope everyone got to see them today, if not I’m sure Mundial will have the video and you can catch it on Utube.

In Case You Missed It….August 13
Hi Everyone,
Kind of a quiet Il Volo day.
1.) It seems “The Boys” enjoyed appearing with “The Pooh” last night in Salerno. There is a video on Mundial Facebook, but it’s from very far away so it’s difficult to see who is on the stage.
2.) Ignazio tweeted a picture of him driving home at 5:30 am!
3.) Piero and Ignazio both tweeted tributes to Eydie Gorme.
4.) Gianlucca, on his Twitter page from yesterday shared the video of Andre Bocelli’s message to him when he won the talent contest. There are also glimpses of Piero and Ignazio. It’s very sweet and fun to see them so young again.
5.) Gianluca also Tweeted today, pictures of him with a fan. He said “I’m speechless by your continued support. Without you we don’t exist. THANK YOU” Easy to see why we love these young men so much!
Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio enjoy the rest of your vacations, we are looking forward to your return to The USA!
A reminder, Il Volo will appear tomorrow, 8/14 on “The Talk” 2PM Eastern, on CBS.
Thank you all for your kind comments.
Linda
Amazing Developments…..
Hi Everybody!
Maybe the 2nd time with be the charm. I’ve been at this long enough, you think I’d remember not to write the hard copy in real-time; I lose it every time. But, anyway…
Last night, I mentioned that some pretty exciting things were happening, and then Marie mentioned it in one of her comments on the last blog. So, are you ready to find out? 😀 I hope so, because we think they’re pretty incredible!
The first thing that happened is that Lynne figured out that Il Volo Flight Crew is on the major search engines now!!
That’s right! If you go to Bing and search for us, it will bring up our blog, and Google brings up our twitter account. I think that is amazing, especially for a blog that hasn’t even been up for a week yet! It’s proof of how much we love Il Volo and how much our site was needed if we could get onto the internet searches in just two days. 😀
This makes us pretty legit. If people can search for us, they will be stopping by and looking for a great place to join in with like-minded people who love Il Volo. It won’t just be the group of us anymore. We can turn into one of the go-to fan sites for Il Volo!
Which is why we are even more excited about what happened next. In an exchange of e-mails between Myron and Michelle, we were contacted by Team Il Volo. They told us that they had been religiously following the comments at the other site, were glad to hear that we were starting up our own blog and asked to be our affiliate!
We of course said, “Yes”, because we couldn’t think of anything better than to be affiliated with a blog such as theirs.
They have added a link to our blog on their site and started promoting us today via their twitter account. We have returned the favor (you will see that they are noted under Affiliates on the left side of the blog), and ask that we all join together and support them as well.
I hope you guys are excited about the opportunities that have presented themselves. I know Michelle, Marie, Linda, Elaine, Elizabeth and I couldn’t believe how quickly things had happened for us. We have a lot more ideas about how to grow our site a little bit at a time, and we want you guys to be involved too. Like Marie said, if you have suggestions or ideas, please let one of us know!
Good night!
Kelly
