Il Divo ("divine male performer" in Italian) is a multinational operatic pop vocal group which was created by music manager, executive, and reality television star Simon Cowell.  Cowell first got the idea after hearing operatic singers Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman singing the duet "Con te partiro," and noted their popularity with the audience.  Cowell saw that the audiences were eager to hear this style of popular operatic singing and he decided to create a quartet of male singers.  After holding auditions of singers throughout the world from 2001 to 2003, four men were chosen.  Swiss tenor Urs Buhler, Spanish baritone Carlos Marin, American tenor David Miller, and French pop singer Sebastien Izambard.

The members' different backsgrounds initially caused some cross-cultural misunderstandings.  Izambard told Eoin Cameron in ABC that at first they had some difficulties communication, but after a year together they had ironed them out: "We just have to have, you know, eye contact, and we understand totally each other now, so the issues with culture and language, really it's finished."

David Miller has noted that the group works very hard on their performances: "People think it looks easy, but we go through hell over every single song."  He added that he was grateful for the opportunity to be a member of the group: "I have the opportunity to learn so much right now.  I'm not going to waste that."
