 
Il Divo is made up of vocalists Urs Buhler, Sebastien
Izambard, David Miller, and Carlos Marin. The name of
the 4some comes from the Italian phrase meaning
'Italian divine Male performer.' The 'operatic-pop'
(sometimes called 'popera') group was a two year
creation of Simon Cowell of American Idol fame after he conducted a
worldwide search for members of the group and
eventually settled on tenor Buhler from Switzerland,
singer Izambard from France, tenor Miller from the
US, and baritone Martin from Spain. Critics have been
very hard on the group referring to them as a
"...collection of pretenders..." performing
"...watered-down, pop-addled opera
gallantry..."
