    Oprah's Favorite New Gadget (PG)
    Oprah unveils her favorite new gadget—see what she says is the wave of the future! Then, Cristina Ferrare on how to get more bang for your buck. Plus, an update on one of Oprah's personal heroes, Mattie Stepanek.

    Wow and AMAZING!
    Just saw the guys on Oprah from here in Atlanta, Georgia and they were stunning! Oprah said she saw their video YESTERDAY and had her people track them down - "whereverer they are in the world" and get them to Chicago! She also mentioned the album release on the 18th (USA).
    David confirmed they had literally just put their bags on the conveyor belt to leave Mexico when the call came YESTERDAY, and of course they said yes!
    Sorry, I could not record it - hopefully someone else did...but here's my take...
    The performance featured maybe a 20 piece orchestra - was not acappella and edited shorter for this appearance. It was exquisite and gave me goosebumps! My little girl had just got off the bus so we watched together, hugging. It was such a nice Mommy/daughter moment as we got to hear them so beautifully. The camera cut to Oprah toward the end and she was all smiles. A lone bagpiper appeared on a lift at the rear of the stage as on the Pula recording and their four voice ending was strong and uplifting (not Seb's quiet version) to thunderous applause. I was so proud of them! Can those guys sing or what!
    Oprah chatted briefly saying she had seen the vid from Rome's Colisieum and Seb said it was Croatia and mentioned Hallelujah being recorded as well. They looked stunning as usual and sounded so incredible. When does that tour begin? Oh yeah, where is my CD????
    Oprah, thanks for inviting them. Carlos, David, Seb and Urs...thanks for saying yes and changing your plans to rejoin family in Europe (David to Rome, he said). It was a delight and a surprise. We have SO missed you and your AMAZING talents. Rest these next few days and Best WIshes for the launch in Spain.
    You rocked today!
    Hugs from Faith and I!
    Love,
    Katy
    PS Urs, We miss your curls! But we are getting used to the new you!

     Mexico City... still crying with the sweetest memory of my life... Il Divo only a table away!
    Member No.: 20,953

    Hola chicas!!
    finalmente terminé la crónica de los segundos más mágicos de mi vida... les presento mi cuento de hadas
    Note for non-spanish speakers, I promise to translate this very soon.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Escribo este mensaje con el corazón empapado en las dulces lágrimas del recuerdo soñado.
    Caía la noche en la ciudad cuando cuatro hermosas estrellas aparecieron en escena. Pronto se escucharon gritos y exclamaciones de parte de las muchísimas fieles que, tras 10 horas (o tal vez más) de amistosa espera, veían por fin aproximarse esa estrella que por tantos años habían contemplado solo a través de una ventana en la jaula de la rutina.
    Dio la hora de moverse y, guiadas por espectros de ceniza, caminamos hacia el final de nuestro arco iris… y ante nuestros ojos, el tesoro nos sonreía. Era un tesoro mágico y todas caímos en el hechizo de sus miradas. ¿Nos miraban a nosotras? No lo sé, temo que para entonces había perdido toda noción del mundo circundante.
    Pronto llegó mi turno… sólo una mesa de distancia me separaba de los ángeles más hermosos que mis ojos de mortal hayan visto jamás. El primero en percatarse de mi presencia fue la deidad ibérica, quien estaba al frente de su comitiva. Con la poca razón que me quedaba, le entregué el material a firmar; escuché un saludo amable de la voz barítona y llegué al cielo. Escuché también la dulce voz de los ojos que me habían cautivado y cuando me di cuenta, ya había recorrido todo el paraíso. Solo pude decir gracias… teniendo tanto que decir, la razón en ese momento no me dio para más; tan solo resumir mi gratitud por su música y mi admiración por su persona en tres formas de una misma palabra…. Era tarde para decir algo más… De repente y de la nada, los espectros desalmados y crueles me expulsaron del paraíso terrenal en donde me había perdido.
    Fue hasta pasados diez minutos que comprendí lo que en realidad había sucedido: Carlos Marín, Urs Bühler, Sébastien Izambard y David Miller (unidos en un solo corazón llamado IL DIVO) habían firmando cariñosamente el divoposter que pronto adornará mi pared. Ahora me encontraba fuera del MixUp de Plaza Loreto en medio de una multitud que, al igual que yo, veían realizado un sueño más o un peldaño más avanzado en la escalera de sus ilusiones.
    Y finalmente mi alma se fundió en lágrimas ante la nueva realidad… todo había terminado y no los volvería a ver pronto, Y peor aún, todo había pasado sin más evidencia del encuentro divino que la frágil memoria del sueño realizado.
    Quiero dar las gracias a toda la gente maravillosa que hizo de este día, uno de los más especiales de mi vida. Fue un placer conocer y convivir con tantas divas connacionales… ¡¡orgullosamente mexicanas!! Y fue un honor estar en presencia de esos ángeles divinos que marcaron mi ser para siempre.
    Les deseo un buen camino y todo el éxito del mundo a los cuatro.
    Siempre serán bienvenidos en esta tierra mexicana. Esperamos verlos de nuevo muy pronto.

    Cuicani

    Hello ladies!
    Here my story about that wonderful and marvelous day to me, I arrived to Plaza Loreto at 11:30 pm of Oct/21 to see if someone will be there thru the night, but it seems that no one was there, so, I went back home to sleep.
    On Oct/22 my brother's chofer was for me at 5:00 am, in 15 minutes I was in Plaza Loreto and people was there, the same people I remember saw on the night of Oct/21, I was the #9 in the line. It was so tired be there for 13 hours until the guys arrived there, I was in the cd shop when they arrived at the Plaza.

    Then I could see Urs face with his tipical winkle winkle, wow! my heart beated fast, that was magic, then I could see David face talking with some of the guys, after that Carlos appeare, all look gorgeous, my legs and my body was in shot hahaha! Seb was missing, when I see him I couldn't took off my eyes from him.

    The press took videos and pictures of the guys and I was dying to see them, then the line start to run, when was my turn, the girl couldn't cut my ticket, so, the guys were waiting for me, I could see them all together in front of me.

    The first one was Carlos, lovely man, great voice I took his hand, then Urs, very handsome and cute, I took his hand too, but when I was in front of Seb, I could not say anything, I even could not think, so, he smiled me and I say: "esto es para ti" (my mind was crazy I spoke spanish) so, I told him "this is for you, it is a chez for your home" (my gift was a chez in form of pyramid very mexican), he smiles and said "thank you", he read what I wrote on it and turn his face to David and said "it is for me, ah?", (some girls told me that David likes these kind of traditional mexican things), David only smiles to Seb and took the chez and leave it behind the chairs, David only smiled to me, the person was ready with my signed poster and gave the hand to take out, so, I never was in front of David, that's a shame.

    But I will keep on my heart Seb's pretty face smiling me, that was a great moment in my life, then I was way home, when I saw the vams and I decided to wait for the guys, I really wanted a picture of them, so, I wait for 1 hour and a half more, when the guys out of the building, I decided in that minute took video because I did not want to loose any minute of that moment.

    After I saw the guys leaved the place, I took a minute to sit on the corner of one garden and cried, I thank God for that oportunity and I did not know if be happy in that moment was correct, because I was in that city because I was with my mom at the hospital since 3 days before that day, if she wasn't there, probably I never would be there to see the guys.

    Here is my video, I included pictures of my Seb's gift, my signed poster and the promotion cd of The power of love, I have to say that it is not very clear, because the night began at the moment when the guys went out.

    I meet a lot of girls, fans and clubs of this marvelous band, all very friendly and kindly, thanks to all for enjoy that day in your company.

    Have a nice day!!!

    Kisses and hugs... Susy

    I really loved this interview... This Javier Poza knew what IL DIVO was about and what he was asking... not like that woman on "Todo para la mujer" unsure.gif Anyway...
    I'm still schocked... Uh Oh; seriously... I need money for that probably Mexican Tour... and time... *prays for having free time and money* blink.gif
    I tried to "translate" the interview... sorry for my mistakes!! unsure.gif :
    http://www.wradio.com.mx/realarchi.asp?id=695365


    J- 11:18 in Mexico city... We're back on OK W! I told you, ladies, at the beggining of the programme that you didn't move because we had a surprise for you! Well.. you already know what's all about... It's about the visiting of IL DIVO who has sold 22 millions CD's in all the world; 80 gold-platinum certifications, # 1 in 26 contries with all their previous albums and now they're keeping their promise, they're back after one year on vacations with this CD called "The Promise" laugh.gif So... I'm welcoming my dear Carlos Marin; he's german but he consider himself spanish; he lived in Spain for long time since he was 12. Carlos; WELCOME!
    C- Thank you so much!
    J- I will appreciate your help with the interview; with the translation for David Miller! laugh.gif David Miller who is one more member of IL DIVO; he is american; he's 35 years old! He understands very well the spanish but he doesn't speak it very well! laugh.gif
    D- Yes; exactly!
    J- Ok; How do you feel? How's Mexico treated you?
    C- Well; very well...the truth; we have seen few places because we've been so busy with a lot of interviews but we're very happy because each time that we're here the public is adorable and very warm!
    J- Do you feel like home?
    C- Totally! Truly.. yes. Today we have a signing... that will take place in.... Plaza Loreto
    J- Today is the signing?
    C- Yes.. Today is the signing and we're looking forward to seeing our fans!
    J- Ok; If you help me with David... Has always the spanish language been important for IL DIVO?
    D- [You can listen to him in the interview]
    C- Do I translate?
    J- If you want... but... no no ... he said the spanish is a perfect language to sing opera; the perfect combination, the english works for the POP... but not too much for the opera; Latinoamerica is very important for you so that's why you decided singing in this language...and you; Carlos; you won't let me lie that the spanish is marvellous!
    C- Totally! Actually...I think since we start with IL DIVO, we always have chosen the spanish because I think it sounds more sexy! laugh.gif
    J- HAHAHA That's important...
    C- HAHA! Of course... it sounds more sweet; even more than the italian and even the english...
    J- Simon Cowell... I would like to speak about him... I really admire him; not for his character in Americal Idol that is really funny but his vision....this vision for the musical industry! Are you still in contact with him? He was the creator of IL DIVO...right?
    C- Yes... he was more involved at the beginning because we always had meetings but with the time... he always said "Trust me" and now we say... HAHAHA! "Trust us" HAHAHA! laugh.gif the truth is he's very cool! Although he has that "fame" ; a man that always says what he thinks.. and sometimes a tough man; he always has been a good person with us!
    J- Of course; after all the money that you make...HAHAHA!! Help me Carlos...This title... "The promise" refers to that promise that you made; returning to the scenaries...after this year on vacations! There was a rumor that you broke up.... is that true?
    D- [interview]
    J- So... this is the best album in the ID history?
    C- Yes Yes...and as I told you... Although there were those rumors; in UK... even in Mexico; in all the world... we kept the promise; we're back with a better album; with a "mature" album; included me!! HAHAHA but yes... We're very happy and proud!!
    J- So... that's how you define this album; the Promise... like the result of the previous albums?
    C- Yes... it's like the promise that we're here; that we've never gone!! Plus... we included new songs that they're not typically the formula of IL DIVO like Jack's P. 'Halleluah'; a version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 'The Power of Love' that I don't know if they were known here...
    J- Oh yes.. I knew them!!
    C- Plus... we're the only group allowed to make this version... and I really hope surprise the public!
    J- Hey... what pity that you won't performance in Mexico,,, Why not Mexico? David...
    D- [interview]
    C- Yes.. well, of course it's a really pity... but we're going to do that in Spain... we have invited a lot of countries! You're invited if you want to go to Barcelona... take a plane tomorrow!! HAHAHA!
    J- HAHAHA!! we're on live ehhh... LIVE the invitation to Barcelona...
    C- Yes... to Barcelona; it's like the biggest representation of the new CD
    J- So... there; will be the international representation?
    C- Yes yes....
    J- I have undertood that you will come back until 2010... right?
    C- Yes... we'll start the tour with Live Nation ...we start on February with Europe and then Mexico... Mexico city; Acapulco; Guadalajara; Monterrey... a lot of places more... We're very happy for that!
    J- Ok... it was a pleasure talk to you!! I wish you more success; even more that you already have... It's good to know that you won't break up... it would be a shame!!
    C- No no no no no.... at least 10 or 20 years more!!
    J- Perfect!! Deal!! Well... IL DIVO; ladies and gentlemen! I'm going to take the respective picture and then we're back with more...
    MODS; if it's the wrong place... move it, don't worry!!
    BTW... Girls; save as much as you can!!! huh.gif laugh.gif

    A Blog from Carlos in Mexico

    uvs081024-017

    Hi everyone!
    Well we're in Mexico at the moment, doing lots of promotion. Today we had a signing which was really busy, we got to meet lots of fans, so that was great. We've done a few TV shows, including a big talent show called Sangre de mi Sangre, which is a bit like American Idol but the prize isn't a record contract, it's the chance to have your dream come true. We were judging them, telling them what we thought of the performances, that kind of thing. We also performed on the show as well.

    Yesterday we visited a children's hospital to support all the good work that they do, which was just amazing. It was so great to see all the people there working for the kids and some of the equipment they have is really interesting, like a machine to help kids walk - they get into the machine and move their legs in the same way as if they were walking, it's unbelievable.

    We haven't had chance to do much sightseeing recently as we've been finishing around 8 or 9 in the evening, but we had a little free time in New York and I went out with some friends for dinner at night, which was so much fun. Soon we'll be off to Spain to do some more promotion and for the official launch. We really can't wait, it should be an amazing event. We'll be singing with a 60-piece orchestra, performing five songs. I'll also have two days free in Barcelona so I'll just be relaxing, maybe go to the beach, although not swimming as it's a little cold for that already!

    Love

    Carlos

    TRADUCCION:

    Hola a todos

    Estamos en Mexico por el momento, haciendo un montón de promoción. Hoy hemos tenido una firma que fue realmente concurrida, tuvimos que cumplir con muchos fans, y fue genial. Hemos hecho algunos programas de televisión, incluyendo uno de talentos llamado "Sangre de mi Sangre", que se parece un poco a American Idol, pero el premio no es un contrato, sino la oportunidad de tener su sueño hecho realidad. Fuimos a fungir de jueces un poco, haciendo un breve comentario de lo que pensabamos de sus actuaciones. También actuamos en el show.

    Ayer visitamos un hospital infantil, en apoyoa la buena labor que hacen ahi, que por cierto es sorprendente. Es estupendo ver a tantas personas que trabajan para los niños y algunos de los equipos que tienen son realmente interesantes, como una máquina para ayudar a los niños a caminar - los colocan en una máquina que les mueve las piernas de la misma forma como si se estuvieran caminando, ¡fabuloso!

    No hemos tenido mucha oportunidad de hacer turismo en nuestras visitas recientes, ya que hemos terminado de los compromisos diarios entre 8 y 9 de la noche, pero tuvimos un poco de tiempo libre en Nueva York y sali con unos amigos a cenar, y fue muy divertido.

    Pronto estaremos en España para hacer más promoción y el lanzamiento oficial.

    Realmente estamos ansiosos sabemos que sera algo increíble. Vamos a estar cantando acompañados de una orquesta de 60 musicos, tenemos programados cantar cinco canciones.

    Yo también tendré dos días libres en Barcelona por lo que deberá ser relajante, tal vez iré a la playa, aunque no como para nadar ya que hace un poco frío para eso

    Con amor

    Carlos

    Il Divo is Italian for “Divine Male Performer.”
    And “divine” is definitely one way to describe this quartet’s musical talents. Il Divo is a unique blend of operatic techniques using popular, romantic songs. “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell shrewdly created the group in 2004. He put together four singers from different countries and from different musical disciplines. Three are classically trained in opera. One is a pop singer. And for a group that, at first, couldn’t even converse with one another — and seemingly had little in common (except for good looks) — it’s a bit magical how well their unique voices meld together. Their sounds are simply breathtaking and have swept many fans off their feet. They’re bridging traditional opera with current popular culture — and winning over fans from across generations in the process.
    Since the group’s beginnings, they have sold more than 22 million albums and scored 39 No. 1 chart positions across 26 countries. They’ve shared the stage with great legendary American talents. They were special guests on Barbra Streisand’s 2006 tour and have also performed with Toni Braxton and Celine Dion. Their fifth album, “The Promise,” will be released worldwide November 10.
    Here are images and more information about the handsome members: David Miller, Sebastien Izambard, Urs Buhler and Carlos Martin.

    Hola niñas!

    Chicas, solo les quiero avisar que aunque a los chicos les hubiera gustado tener una despedia, tuvieron que adelantar su partida y dejaron tierra Azteca esta mañana.

    Se fueron verdaderamente contentos por el trato recibido y la respuesta de las fans, asi que esperan regresar muy pronto.

    Con Cariño Annie

    Oke I managed it to do it now. I had a free hour. Excuses for mistakes, my English is not so very good.
    Newspaper : Aktuell Schweiz
    Moving to London for his love
    The world wide famous classic-pop group has a long break in the past year. The Swiss Urs, used it to settle in London with his girlfriend.
    Without a smoking goes nothing for Urs Bühler (37), when he is in the spotlights. Those outfits belongs to his work-outfit since he join Il Divo five years ago. But for this interview he is dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt.

    He and the other three guys are on the road again. The break is over and they have to bring on their newest Album “The Promise” at November 7th. The new tour is already planned. For Urs had the break can be much longer. We didn’t have much spare time the last five years, he explains. We had to work constantly since the begin. Al guys were glad they had a break after july last year when they finish the last world tour.

    He used this break to move and settle in London with his English girlfriend. (She is visagiste and a little bit older than me) They bought a house in London and started decorating. We made it our home and are very happy with each other. That’s why I wouldn’t care when this break was longer. I have a lot to do in the garden. There is always enough to do when you have a house. Times goes fast.


    Would you go back to Switzerland? He laughs and said: I love Switzerland and specially the Luzerner Hinterland, the part I came from. But I don’t know if I could live here forever. I feel a lot more free where I live now. At this time I have home and the right woman at my site.


    Looks it like there is a baby on his way? He came from a big family with four sisters and brothers and he has 35 cousins. Off course I want a family and kids but now its not the right time. Well because I have such a busy schedule, planned full till October 2009, I’ll take one day for another and will see what it brings.


    Next to the photo off Urs: In earlier days he would like to be a music teacher. But then he started his training in Amsterdam and succeed there. Then he joined Il Divo


    Photo above the group: Urs Buhler with his colleague David from the USA, Carlos from Spain and Sebastien from France. They sold already more than two million albums and the new one “The Promise ”will reach the top off the rank list for sure.
