You went, you saw, you screamed! Fans gave Il Divo a rapturous response when they performed at Croke Park on Friday. The guys - who were the very special guests of Celine Dion - performed a string of classics and thrilled fans who haven't seen them on stage since last year.
Photos and reviews have been coming in to the forum thick and fast and we've picked some highlights from a few of the best fan reports...
'The sun was shining on Dublin because Il Divo were in town! Wow! To say that they excelled themselves is something of an understatement. Urs had smiled and blinky-winked his way through the entire performance (he was soooo happy!) but as the band played the opening bars of La Vida Sin Amor he signalled that he was ready to rock - wooohhooo - and then proud new papa Sebastien hit the last note to end all last notes. Perfect! Thanks for giving us so much fun again guys. The wait has been hard but it was great to see you back on stage where you belong!' By Moe D
'Their amazing powerful voices always blow me away and last night was no different. In addition to beautiful singing Il Divo also made me smile and laugh good few times. Carlos in his flirty character as always. Poor Sebastien managed to get himself out of trouble without any injury or embarrassment, but it was kind of cute and funny. Thanks a million, Il Divo, for the great performance!' By la diva
'It was just sheer pleasure to see our boys back on stage and I was smiling and shaking with excitement. They sang their well-known songs and what they did is they've put a slight touch of style in the way they sang which was great to hear - something different. All too soon their one hour show was up and had to say goodbye to us and just showed how much I missed them. Our boys did a super, great show and Three Cheers to Them!' By sweetiepie20
'The entire concert was fantastic! From the minute the guys stepped on stage it was obvious to see how happy they were to be performing once again! Sebastien was beaming, David and Urs were dancing and Carlos absolutely astonished the couple sitting next to me. They hadn't heard of the guys but were planning to buy the CDs as soon as possible. Of course I didn't mind helping them out with Divo trivia!' By EmmaC
'Their voices sounded absolutely fantastic, and the last high note from Seb in La Vida Sin Amor was amazing and sent shivers down my spine. Seb was just beaming all night and somehow he managed to nearly fall on stage as he leaned against his chair and slipped - much to the amusement of everyone else! Urs looked so happy finally being back on stage, we saw a bit more dancing from him than before. Carlos definitely made some new fans being his charming old self and David was funny and happy as always.' By cvs

Just thought to ask you carlos, seb, urs and david why don't you remake Nessun Dorma it would be a fantastic song for you guys with all your voices you would make that song sound great I heard other versions and then I listened to your voices and thought why not ask.
It would be great by you guys I would definately buy the cd.
well hope you are all well and everything's good.
Stay beautiful.

Angústia, saudade, tristeza Sentimentos que sem ti vivem Quem sabe a alegria e felicidade Retornem com sua presença. Quem ama, cuida!
