Il Volo - The New Now Yahoo Interview

- For the most part, teen singers get a bad rap, especially if they perform pop music. But I have a feeling the new teen Italian classical trio Il Volo won't have this problem.
Thursday night, the powerful young, opera singers amazed the "American Idol" audience when they performed on the U.S. singing competition. Though they were there to promote the American release of their self-titled debut -- out this week -- they can actually relate to the contestants.
Seventeen-year-old Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto,16, and Gianluca Ginoble,16, started singing in school and church when they were toddlers. In 2009, they ended up on "Ti Lascio Una Canzone," a televised Italian talent show for kids 7 to 15.
"The producers decided to put our voices together," Gianluca said when the group recently visited Yahoo! Music.
Tony Renis, one of their current producers, actually discovered the group after seeing them on the program. After assembling a team of managers and producers, and making contact with the group, he presented them to Interscope Geffen A&M head Jimmy Iovine, and they were immediately offered a record deal.
The talented tenors, who began learning to speak English last summer, also impressed Quincy Jones, who featured them last year on the single "We Are The World: 25 To Haiti."
While their mature voices have garnered comparisons to one of their idols, Andrea Bocelli, they are still-fun loving teens at heart. They dress like normal kids and joke around like their peers. When they sang a capella for the Yahoo! Music staff, they needed to do several takes because they kept laughing at each other. When they were asked if they use their vocal skills to impress girls, they erupted in more laughter.
When they met some of their label mates at a Grammy afterparty in February they were just as ecstatic as anyone their age would be. "We were so nervous," said Piero. "We did a party after the Grammys. We were in there with Eminem, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Puff Daddy, and Rihanna. ... When we met them, everybody said, 'Hi. Welcome to our family.' "
The members of Il Volo, which means flight in Italian, seem no different than Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus. They just so happen to sing classical music.
But they made sure their album showcases multiple musical styles. "On our album, there are some romantic songs, love songs," Ignazio said. "If you want to listen to pop music, you can listen this time to 'Painfully Beautiful' -- something classical, 'O Sole Mio.' " - เพลง
I saw them this weekend, and Piero pulled me on stage and sang to me, and i BARELY remember it cause i was in legit shock. omg omg omg
I love how they just look at each other and know what the other two are thinking =) ♥♥♥

I love Il Volo! Wonderful music, great voices and nice guys. If the three guys singing, it makes me feel really good.

At this time in June 2011 all three did not speak much English. In spite of it the interview went very well! Marvellous how fast they picked the lanuage up and are now almost perfect! Italians do not learn English regularly at school!
I love il volo! There all so cute and humble! :) I hope they come and perform in Canada soon!

Lol!! Okay I love these guys to death! but there were certain parts of this video where I could just tell they had no idea what the interviewer was talking about:P They have the cutest confused faces everx) I loved how when the guy said that by the way that they looked that no one would guess that they can sing so well and Gianluca's face looked so insulted! haha Then of course Piero's adorible laughx) His face is so expressive
Piero's laugh at 4:58!
❤
It's been 2 years exactly. These kids speak English and Spanish fluently, continue to sing in beautiful Italian and have a loyal, strong, and permanent fan base that continues to grow fast. Ignazio is so incredibly attractive beyond my dreams

whoops! seems there was someone who had a tick when he/she wanted to press the [thumbs-up] button & pressed the [thumbs-down] button instead!
Hmm.. dont worry buddy! everybody makes mistakes, you just happened to have a tick at the time :)
They're accents are perfect.
I know it's been a year, but couldn't resist clarifying that he did say some song titles in Spanish. ;)
What kind of choir was it? and in what city? Thank you!
i
How is your Italian? Or Spanish? Or any French or German?

Gianluca tu ingles es excelente,pero no te dejan hablar! por tus labios que muerdes se ve que eres nervioso y timido ,pero eres el mas pequeño de los tres hay que darle tiempo para madurar,Eres lo maximo!
I hope you travel in my direction...
oooh Gianluca´s spanish is really sexy
I just died at just how chill Gianluca was at 3:49 when the interviewer was asking about their singing "does it work for the girls?" and Gianluca is like "yeaaahh" and shrugs, kinda like, yeah man, of course it does. lol lol . love these guys! :D:D:D
I bet the guy on the far right is going to break out on his own and score big. He's got the looks.
@HelTra91 Yeah but well make them big!
@RobDowneyJrFan87 I do toox) He has a uniquely cute look
bitter yong iba jan.. haha
@brodwaysinger01 Haha I get it yeah I get eat you sayen there pretty darn cute
Don't anyone take this on a personal ground, but... am i the only one who finds it kinda disturbing this awful lot of comments about them being "hot" on videos from their earliest years of career? Just take a moment to imagine the opposite situation: a bunch of men of unknown age virtually drooling over underaged girl artists. Should this be any less creepy?
Even if it's easy to forget it, not that just because we are online ppl can say any sort of things. In real life, would you ever shout that a 16 years old is sexy in a square with 53.022 ppl hearing, unless you're 16 too maybe, or unless you enjoy being pressed charge on?
They are now 20-22 years old gentlemen and, much as i am almost 28, i understand that they can have their appeal on younger fans... but back then, the only "hot" thing about them could be the cup of milk they had just drank. Get over yourselves!
To use the adjective 'hot' so often does speak only for the poor language knowledge of the commentators!
Bc most of the fans were young girls during this time. So its ok. Piero and I are the same age now so im very attracted to him--all the guys now really. During 2010-2013 i wasnt bc they looked like chubby high school boys. As i look back they were never hot but with my adult eyes i think they look like adorable little fat 😂 boys here phahaha
@VerizBabyy101 haha you're funny
italian girls
Bieber disliked :P
omg i feel like a pedophile cuz these guys are amazing!!!!!!!!! (well i am not too much older than them so we can pull it off) lol :)
i know spanish and for them i would learn italian gladly
🤮
