This year there are alot of new classical crossover artisted that are come out with cds and I think we should keep a look out for there cds.

Frist I am going to mention vittorio he has a very nice vocie . And I think his voice can mealt you. He is having a cd come out this year but you can hear him on Katine Jekins living a dream SE. And you can also here him on No1 Classical Album 2006.

we also have Nicky Spence who you can also here on the No1 Classical Album 2006. I will put some more latter.

I recommend Becky Jane Taylors 'By Your Side'. It's kind of soft pop but it's a very nice CD, I prefer her to Hayley Westenra.

I recommend Josh Groban - an amazing singer - his Closer album is brilliant Very Happy

Oh yes most definitely Josh, he is just magnificent. I adore him and hopefully one day he will tour Australia, there are loads of us down here who would just love to see him in concert.

Also Vittorio Grigolo, I heard his voice through a link on Il Divo's site and joined up his mailing list and am looking forward very much to being able to buy his debut album, when it comes out.

I agree, Josh Groban is incredible. Mario Frangoulis is great too, but the new talent for me is Jon Christos - I'm a huge fan of his and have met him too. For his age he is awesome and his album Northern Light is just lovely.

I can suggest Tomi Metsaketo. All I can tell you is that his voice is absolutely beautiful. As his website is in Finnish I don't really know any more about him though!

Definitely Kane Alexander (who was Il Divo's support act here in Australia), you will find a thread here about Kane and I have been sleuthing around finding stuff from the web about him, there is a video of him singing "The Prayer" at the Carols in Melbourne Australia, which is televised each year on our tv.

He has a debut album due out on April 30th, he performed five of the tracks from it before Il Divo hit the stage, he got a great response from the audience the evening I went to see ID, Monday 13th March.

if you want to check him out his site which is not up and running yet is

www.kanealexander.com (only the mailing list is open).

but there is also www.sonybmg.com.au, but there are just three gallery pics so far.

www.allegromusic.com.au to view his biography and listen to a couple of sound samples (these songs do not feature on his album).

the stores which will have his album here in Australia- I am sure there will be more than two though are

www.hmv.com.au
www.sanity.com.au

Sanity actually has his song list for album up now.

Hope this all helps for you.

He is very cute also, he comes from a music theatre/tv/cabaret background, he hails from a small country town near Swan Hill here in Victoria. No idea how old he is, but I know he has been around for quite a long time now, so I am really glad that he has scored a recording deal and finally has an album coming out. Not before time I reckon.

I really do not know anything else about him right now, but go into that other thread in this general chat section and I posted a newspaper article on him also and in the next few weeks will be searching for more articles etc on him and hopefully I will get the album pronto when it hits the shelves and I will give you a review on it.

But the five songs I have heard him perform live before ID were fantastic. Wondering what his version of Nella Fantasia will be like. I adore ID's version.

Well I definitely recommend Alfio to you, his album Tranquillita is fantastic, lots of great reviews on the hmv Australia site.

I also recommend Kane Alexander who was Il Divo's support act. His debut album is out tomorrow- titled Kane Alexander.
