So, I know a lot of Il Divo fans read these blogs - strange how the numbers keep going up - ot that I am complaining. Anyhow......I just though I would say some of the little things that I notice about them. Stuff I would find interesting.......I am all about the behind the scenes stuff and the little quirks I noticed. Not that I know about behind the scenes - although I would LOVE to - but I like the out of the norm stuff. So, here goes.
David is very theatrical. To the point that it was almost comical to me. Don't hate me for saying that, it's just my observation. I don't know if he means to be l,e that and if it is genuine - but it didn't seem like it to me. It seemed a bit weird and over the top to be honest. The faces he made and the arm movements and doubling over.........too much. That in no way reflects on the quality of his voice, because it is beautiful, but the fake theatrics are not necessary. Unless that is really how he is. But I don't think so. No one is that into singing. It was like he wwas trying to win an award or something.........but, again, his voice was perfect and beautiful. I just don't think he needs to augment it the way that he does.
Urs is serious. Serious but when he laughs or smiles, his whole face changes and it's like sunshine. He spoke a lot in Dutch, even sang in Dutch. I had no idea what he was saying, but the crowd loved it. And he laughed a lot, but was serious almost an equal amount. Sometimes he closes his eyes and mouths along to the others parts, like the music is just washing over him. It's much more subtle than David. But maybe they express it differently, right? Oh, and he wears this amazing grey suit at the end. It's awesome!
Sebbie is like a musician. You can tell he plays a lot of instruments. His hand is constantly going at his side. Whenever there is certain percussion From the orchestra or different melodies, he's going along with the rhythm and keeping time. His hand punching the air.. It's sweet. And a big smile on his face. Oh, and I love that he has all these silver bracelets on his wrist. Suits him.
Of course, I left Carlos for last. Hehe. He flirts and it's cheese and everything else that you know and love and hate about him. There is nothing new there. But his voice.............there is none that can compare. He hits those notes and I get chills. And at one point got 'upset' with Seb for feeling his butt. LOL. Cheese, cheese cheese. Oh, and he has either a rash or a sunburn on his chest. It's strange. The colour is normal, and about the third undone button, his chest is bright red. It looks painful, really. Someone jokes that maybe it was waxing gone wrong. LOL. But I don't think so. It looked like a skin condition. Poor guy.
I could write a million other things, but I promised myself a 10 pm bedtime tonight. Early morning and long day tomorrow. Full report of that if I am not too tired. I seem to be awfully busy, don't I? Wow.
Oh, before I forget, Leuven is a lovely town. And the market, I can't get over the flowers at all the stalls! And how none expensive they are! So, so, pretty! And they have pansies already! :). Thanks for showing my around, B! I love your town! I even know how to pay for the bus now. Hehe.e
Okay, night night people. Big hugs.
